the 'I Kissed Dating Goodbye' book is super amazing! Thanks SEOW for lending me! As in the book primarily talks about dating but actually, it gave me loads and loads of revelation on how to love others and what exactly is God's standard of love... my whole perspective on dating and loving others like totally change and it is still changing cuz i have not read finish... only read like one third and im gaining so much revelation about God's love and what He wants us to do. The years of singleness He gives us are blessings, a time to prepare ourselves for the future. And i also learnt that by dating now, its actually not protecting ourselves and others and also their destinies in God. Not like i ever wanted to go dating now, but its just so relevant and its so true that most of us go on dates to fulfill what we want, our needs, our desires, to satisfy our passions and emotions and then claim that 'its love, we cant control it'. However, we never really think about the consequences... No, its not just about sex or whatever, its about robbing people's time with God and instead of pushing them towards, we are drawing them away from the One they should rely most upon. I guess a lot of ppl may not think so or agree but anyway, its not me they have to answer to in the end, its God. Can u imagine one day God tells me that i had drawn people away from Him cuz i wanted to satisfy my own passions, thus stalling their growth or hindering their destinies? I think i will simply break down and crumble.
Love is others-centred, not self-centred... i am trying to love others, to put others above self... really... its not easy but i realised this is what i gain the most satisfaction from and i love loving others... All in all, the book is super amazing, simple yet revelational. thanks again naomi for lending me!
