Fellowship & Love

It was the second consecutive week that our fellowship programme centered around “finding our life partner”, seems like many people are interested in the topic, I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many people since I joined the fellowship about 3 years ago.  It seems strange to me sometimes, in a crowded city like HK, wouldn’t people have a greater chance of finding their other half?

For me, I’ve always believed that God knows the best for me and would somehow let me know when I meet “her” – the one He prepared for me (and me for her).  I’ve been praying and patiently waiting for God’s sign… and I’m still waiting…

Was reminded of the wonderful story of Issac and Rebekah during fellowship tonight.  Was also reminded of this scripture of love:

“Love is patient, love is kind.  It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”  (1 Corinthians 13:4-7)

Wouldn’t it be nice if my future life partner’s name can replace the word “love” in the scripture?!  It’s a good reminder for myself too, hope that I can be shaped into the “love” of my future life partner while I patiently wait for God’s plan to be fulfilled:

“…For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11)
