A little exercise on Love

I know this should be almost daily doodle.... but now it's becoming almost monthly  :p

but I'm still here!!!  :)

It's not Valentine's... but suddenly LOVE is surrounding me.....

I'm doing a study at Church on a book called "Crazy Love" by Francis Chan.... how can we be crazily in love with God?
I went to "More Love", worshipping God with Stream of Praise.... how can we have more love for God?
I am planning my wedding with my Fiance. :)  I know I am crazily in love with him.... and I know that I love him more and more as each day goes by....

Could I have the same love for God?  and even more??
There was a moment this week when I thought... I don't want to go to work... I just want to read God's word.  So I took the day off and read the Bible.  and I did that for 2 days...
Am I starting to fall madly in love with God?

Do I really know what love is?

There's a little exercise I read from the book "Crazy Love" that is quite useful....

What does God mean by love?

He tells us about love in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, 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.


Love never fails."

These words are so familiar that we don't really think much about them...
but in his book, Francis mentioned that we can do a little exercise with these verses.
Take the word Love or It from each phrase and substitude with your name. (e.g Love is patient will become Maisie is patient for me)  Do it for every phrase.


I have to admit... I failed this exercise on love..

hopefully when I do it again next time.. it doesn't feel like lying when I fill in the blanks.
