Devotional Thoughts: Loosing & Finding Love




We all rejoice when we hear that a couple in the YA! is pairing up. :)




But it saddens me when another couple breaks up after many years of relationship. One choose to remain single, the other moves to a new relationship (seen from the Facebook photo and status). The single remains hurt; the other is probably enjoying the new relationship.


Yah! Can sense it mah! Read and see their FaceBook posting, lah.

We who are friends are still wondering, questioning, and learning from the episode. And praying for them also.

Do you?
Well, at least, I am

Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh! Lost and found … emotions are often triggered when I loose or find something. Just a few days ago, I picked up a ten cents coin early in the morning while walking to the HDB car park. It is not the amount, but the sudden small impulse of hilarious feeling is enough to brighten the outlook of a new day. (naïve feelings?)

As I turn to today’s Daily Bread devotion, http://www.rbc.org/devotionals/our-daily-bread/2009/10/29/devotion.aspx
(Luke 15:4-24)

my mind just wanders to those couples who have lost or found love, relational love.

In the 3 parables, what cause the shepherd to loose a sheep, the lady to loose a coin, and the father to have a prodigal son? Perhaps they are careless?

But the point of the parables is to rejoice when a sinner repents and come to Heavenly Father, whose name is LOVE.

So when you find something, treasure it and don’t loose it again, especially love.


TREASURE the things that you have found, especially LOVE! :)

Oh dear! Suddenly I feel so so sad...so sad for the loser.

Hi Chye Keng,
I feel differently. Love is not about winning or loosing. I feel that they just don't quite understand TRUE LOVE, love that last, till death do us part.

It is good that more adults like you can comment, share their path of life in this area of LOVE and help our youth who is now in this age and going through the period of finding their life partner.

Thank you for contributing your thoughts.
