i asked OY the other day when we were at Kallang having coffee, what does she want to get out of this week (i.e. last week -Lordship week)? she said she wants to be compelled by love for God.
Compelled by love. yeh.i want that to. To do thing for God for no other reason other than because i love Him.
I sort of have an idea what this means over each weekend when i come home frm base, spending time with my dad while my mum is away.
I try to make him nice meals, boil soup that can sort of last him at least the 1st few days of the week. Wash up clothes and do massive ironing. I just finished ironing his shirts for the whole week! And i can't really say what is the reason for me doing all these, other than because I am compelled by love for my dad.
sometimes, i'm so tired that all i want to do is to spend some quiet time myself. I always bring home books, but i always bring them back to base again, unread. but somehow "me" becomes unimportant in light of "him".
maybe that's what being compelled by love for God means.

You left an otherwise not bad job to knoe God, didn't you? That's also compelled by love for God. And God'd love for you is giving you a dad to take good care and love...
