今晚見了一個朋友, 認識很久的朋友----再過兩個月就有十個年頭了.

每次見面, 感覺都會有新的東西帶給我, 這次也不例外. 兩人做在公園裏閑聊, 感覺特別舒服...跟他一起聊的從來不會是物質上的享受, 而是做人的道理. 可能每個人出來帶著的都是某種目的, 利益, 但不是我和他. 我們兩個想法都很像, 可能就是因為這樣聯繫著我們十年吧. 每次都會聊到以前一起上學的日子, 怎么搗蛋調皮, 我們都那么的念舊.

或許他教會我的是我們每個人都應該學會的吧, 出來工作後才發現, 週圍的人都在變化, 有變好的也有變壞的, 其中友情也不例外, 但我們的始終沒改變, 或許我們都應該珍惜它.

haven't updated for a while, I guess it's just because I'm lazy... But indolence is not whole story, sometimes when I came up something I wanna write about, I don't know how to express in words(and I feel like my english is better than my chinese in writing)

A couple days ago, I found a sweet blog, and I started to leave some comments on it, then unexpectedly I got response, really sweet! that makes me feel sooooo good! ^^

Communiting with ppl makes me feel so wonderful, since then I began to check the blog whenever I got time. Honestly when I'm there it's like I can find a place to stay,to suite myself.

Leilei,给你宣传啦,如果你不介意的话 ^^

It's been a while since I left something here...Not because I'm busy,just lazy....

I met a girl a couple of days ago,before I met her, I said to myself I'm just making a friend. Dinner,wandering around...we had a good time. I never met her before,but she gave me a special feeling, which is I'm longing for---sweet,caring but not annoying. Being with her makes me feel comfortable,it's hard to explane,I just can't find the words.

No matter she likes me or not,it doesn't matter. She's in my mind,just can't get her out of it. God bless you.

不知不觉已经虚度两年光阴了,是时候为自己的前途作打算了...

很早以前就有留学的想法了,只是因为种种原因而搁置了.一直以来都有个梦想,就是在美国生活.不过总觉得这始终有点遥不可及.

现在已经是大三了,该是努力的时候了,目标就是申请往美留学.努力过了,就算不行,也不会虚度.

加把劲吧!毕竟,梦想不是留给光说不做的人...

 

God is Love: How do we Define Love?
"God is Love", but how do we define it? The American Heritage Dictionary defines love as "an intense affection for another person based on familial or personal ties". Often this "intense affection" stems from a sexual attraction for that other person. We love other people, or we say we love other people, when we are attracted to them and when they make us feel good. Notice that a key phrase in the dictionary definition of love is the phrase "based on". This phrase implies that we love conditionally; in other words, we love someone because they fulfill a condition that we require before we can love them. How many times have you heard or said, "I love you because you are cute;" or "I love you because you take good care of me;" or "I love you because you are fun to be with"?

Our love is not only conditional, it is also mercurial. We love based on feelings and emotions that can change from one moment to the next. The divorce rate is extremely high in today's society because husbands and wives supposedly stop loving one another-or they "fall out of love". They may go through a rough patch in their marriage, and they no longer "feel" love for their spouse, so they call it quits. Evidently, their marriage vow of "till death do us part" means they can part at the death of their love for their spouse rather than at their physical death.

Can anyone really comprehend "unconditional" love? It seems the love that parents have for their children is as close to unconditional love as we can get without the help of God's love in our lives. We continue to love our children through good times and bad, and we don't stop loving them if they don't meet the expectations we may have for them. We make a choice to love our children even when we consider them unlovable; our love doesn't stop when we don't "feel" love for them. This is similar to God's love for us, but as we shall see, God's love transcends the human definition of love to a point that is hard for us to comprehend.

God is Love: How does God Define Love?
The Bible tells us that "God is Love" (1 John 4:8). But how can we even begin to understand that truth? There are many passages in the Bible that give us God's definition of love. The most well known verse is John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." So one way God defines love is in the act of giving. However, what God gave (or should we say, "who" God gave) was not a mere gift-wrapped present; God sacrificed His only Son so that we, who put our faith in His Son, will not spend eternity separated from Him. This is an amazing love, because we are the ones who choose to be separated from God through our own sin, yet it's God who mends the separation through His intense personal sacrifice, and all we have to do is accept His gift.

Another great verse about God's love is found in Romans 5:8, "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." In this verse and in John 3:16, we find no conditions placed on God's love for us. God doesn't say, "as soon as you clean up your act, I'll love you; " nor does He say, "I'll sacrifice my Son if you promise to love Me." In fact, in Romans 5:8, we find just the opposite. God wants us to know that His love is unconditional, so He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for us while we were still unlovable sinners. We didn't have to get clean, and we didn't have to make any promises to God before we could experience His love. His love for us has always existed, and because of that, He did all the giving and sacrificing long before we were even aware that we needed His love.

God is Love: It's Unconditional
God is Love, and His love is very different from human love. God's love is unconditional, and it's not based on feelings or emotions. He doesn't love us because we're lovable or because we make Him feel good; He loves us because He is love. He created us to have a loving relationship with Him, and He sacrificed His own Son (who also willingly died for us) to restore that relationship. 

God is Love: How Should we Define Love?
When the Scriptures say, "God is love," they aren't telling us that God is some nebulous, warm fuzzy feeling of love. The writers who penned the scriptures weren't saying that in our limited form of human love we will find God. Not at all -- in fact, when we read that God is love in the Bible, this means that God defines love. And when we say that God defines love, we don't mean that He defines it like Webster might define something -- we mean that God is the very definition of love itself. There is no such thing as love without God. As hard as we might try, we cannot define love outside of knowing God. This essentially means that our human definition of love is false.

God is the Creator of all things, and by His very nature, He is love. God says love is unconditional and sacrificial, and it's not based on feelings; therefore, love is not an "intense affection… based on familial or personal ties". To understand what true love is and to be able to truly love others, we must know God, and we can do this through a close personal relationship with Him. We can have that close relationship with God by putting our faith in Jesus Christ, who was God's sacrifice of love for us.

God is Love: True Love Only Comes Through a Relationship With Him
God is Love! As such, true love -- God's love -- can be summed up in this passage of scripture: "Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another." (1 John 4:7-11)

If you want to know this love - true love -- get to know God. He is ready to pour out His love on you, and He wants to teach you how to love others as He loves you.
