The new defination of Love!

One of my friend wrote in his msn personal message:

The new defination of LOVE:
L-Listen
O-Overlook
V-Voice
E-Effort

L-Listen
Love is to be unconditioned, unprejudiced. Hear and understand each other.
O-Overlook
Love is to treat each other with kindhearted, forgive others fault, and find out his/her excellence.
V-Voice
Love is to express appreciation, sincered encouragement.
E-Effort
Love is to sacrifice with effort. Not only one sacrifeice and one enjoy; but both keep an effort to love and care each other!

Do you have "LOVE"? Think about it and learn it together!


*Mother's day is at the corner... Had we loved our mom? For what she spent on us since we are kids... even for the unfortunated ones, your mom had keep effort to born you to this world... Learn to love! That is hard but worth! There is time where we angry of peoples around us especially to our relatives. Thus, try to love them the way they are, because not only they are your relatives but you are one of their relative also!

LOVE! God is love!

I had great honoured!!

That day, 9th of may- I read the Bible as usual... I was always following the booklet scheduled 4 chapters a day. I was suppostingly reading the 1 Chronicles 21-24. I always felt that the Chronicles is pretty boring to read... However, after I've finished the 24th, with a sudden desire, I feel like reading the next chapter... So had I continued...

The NIV version, titled chapter 25 as "The singers". That chapter was talking about the worshippers that assigned to serve the Lord in the church which Solomon King had built. Guess who I've found in the list? The 3rd "Joseph" mentioned in the Bible (as what I know).

[2 From the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, Joseph, Nathaniah and Asarelah. The sons of Asaph were under the supervision of Asaph, who "prephesied"(in the chinese version, also refering to singing.) under the King's supervision.]

[7 Along with their relatives-all of them trained and skilled in music for the Lord-they numbered 288.]

[8 The first lot, which was for Asaph, fell to joseph, his sons and relatives...]

After I read the whole chapter, i refered it back again and mark down those verses. I've heard and felt that I've been "trained and skilled in MUSIC for THE LORD!!!" I felt what David had said in Psalm, 'what is men that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?' He cares, He chose even before I've been born to this world for serving him in MUSIC!

Now, I'm assured by Lord Himself for the third time-to continue and furthur study in music.

"Praise the Lord!
I'm now, knowing the Lord, You love me!
You've chose me to be one of the men who performed this service to You!
Thank You Lord! Help me to humble myself,
and learn what You want me to learn!"

Thank you , Lord!

*In that night, God gave me a song. I sang it again and again softly alone in my room with God, it is sooooo sweet. I recorded it down to prevent my forgetful attitude... The lyrics as below:
