Tech Support: Hello … how can I help you?
Customer: Well, after much consideration, I’ve decided to install Love. Can you guide me through the process?Tech Support: Yes. I can help you. Are you ready to proceed?
Customer: Well, I’m not very technical, but I think I’m ready. What do I do first?Tech Support: The first step is to open your Heart. Have you located your Heart?
Customer: Yes, but there are several other programs running now. Is it okay to install Love while they are running?Tech Support: What programs are running ?
Customer: Let’s see, I have Past Hurt, Low Self-Esteem, Grudge and Resentment running right now.
Tech Support: No problem, Love will gradually erase Past Hurt from your current operating system. It may remain in your permanent memory but it will no longer disrupt other programs. Love will eventually override Low Self-Esteem with a module of its own called High Self-Esteem. However, you have to completely turn off Grudge and Resentment. Those programs prevent Love from being properly installed. Can you turn those off ?
Customer: I don’t know how to turn them off. Can you tell me how?Tech Support: With pleasure. Go to your start menu and invoke Forgiveness. Do this as many times as necessary until Grudge and Resentment have been completely erased.
Customer: Okay, done! Love has started installing itself. Is that normal?Tech Support: Yes, but remember that you have only the base program. You need to begin connecting to other Hearts in order to get the upgrades.
Customer: Oops! I have an error message already. It says, “Error - Program not run on external components.” What should I do?Tech Support: Don’t worry. It means that the Love program is set up to run on Internal Hearts, but has not yet been run on your Heart. In non-technical terms, it simply means you have to Love yourself before you can Love others.
Customer: So, what should I do?Tech Support: Pull down Self-Acceptance; then click on the following files: Forgive-Self; Realize Your Worth; and Acknowledge your Limitations.
Customer: Okay, done.Tech Support: Now, copy them to the “My Heart” directory. The system will overwrite any conflicting files and begin patching faulty programming. Also, you need to delete Verbose Self-Criticism from all directories and empty your Recycle Bin to make sure it is completely gone and never comes back.
Customer: Got it. Hey! My heart is filling up with new files. Smile is playing on my monitor and Peace and Contentment are copying themselves all over My Heart. Is this normal?Tech Support: Sometimes. For others it takes awhile, but eventually everything gets it at the proper time. So Love is installed and running. One more thing before we hang up. Love is Freeware. Be sure to give it and its various modules to everyone you meet. They will in turn share it with others and return some cool modules back to you.
Customer: Thank you, God.__________
"(The) instinct for love, so firmly implanted in the human heart, is the supreme way by which we learn to desire and love God Himself above all else."
-Quoted from Hinds' Feet on High Places by Hannah Hurnard
Was really inspired by the book(which the quote above was taken from) Fifi gave me 2 weeks ago, & this sentence just blew me away while I was reading it at work *weeee~ flys away from booth & back*
Of course, human love(generally defined as"an intense affection for another person based on familial or personal ties") is different from God's love(generally defined as"unconditional, and it's not based on feelings or emotions."). Don't really know how to put it, but for me, I've learnt that God's love is greater than human's love & I no longer get very emotional just because human love fails(they always does, doesn't it?) because I know of a God that loves me unconditionally & unchangingly.(: (: (:
At the same time, I feel really blessed to have loving friends around me! (: Especially D8(Thanks for coming to keep me company before & after Sentosa outing, & also Yvonne for coming all the way to Vivo to lunch with me!), the guys(great company & study buddies for my JC years!) & not forgetting my best girl friends kelly & WF! (: & some whose names are not mentioned, you are kept deep & dearly in my heart hahaha.
<3.
