Hello everyone, from the lovesick teenagers to the seasoned seniors!
When we talk about love and commitment, we often think of romantic K-dramas.
But did you know that today's Bible readings—ranging from the passionate poetry of Song of Songs, the call for cheerful giving in 2 Corinthians 9, King David's heartfelt repentance in Psalm 51, and the wise warning against anger in Proverbs 22—actually discuss the complete package of true love:
Faithfulness, Obedience, and Love.
While Song of Songs describes a burning love, chapters 5-8 also show the struggle, longing, and commitment to seek one another. Love for God and others is a decision to remain, to obey, and to remain faithful, even when our feelings are not enthusiastic.
Faithfulness is like a Bluetooth pairing that doesn't easily disconnect even when the signal is bad or there are temptations from "others." In youth slang: loyalty without limits!
Now, this is where obedience acts as the "auto-correct" for our lives.
Obedience is similar to following Google Maps directions instead of insisting on your own way, which often leads you nowhere.
Is it hard? Definitely. But this is where the beauty of love comes in. Love is not just saying "I love you" when your wallet is thick or life is smooth sailing.
True love, as Paul said in 2 Corinthians, is being a "cheerful giver"—not a giver who is forced and sullen. God loves those who are sincere, not those who are fake or have ulterior motives.
So, for those of you who are 18 and eager to get attention, or for the brothers and sisters and senior parents who have tasted the salt of life: let's make our faith more than just an online status on Sundays.
Remain faithful, be totally obedient, and love with a positive, zealous abandon!
