shows 12.04am on laptop.

so it's 2.04am already. and i can't seem to fall asleep.

after shower, as i came back to the room and started packing my table briefly whilst i dried my hair, saw purpose-driven life book at the back of my laptop.

took it and fast-flip through it. read this book 2 years ago, when i was working for ACTS bookstore. but somehow, i think i didn't put in much heart into reading it, cos i can't really remember the contents now.

so, back to flipping again, a title kinda caught my attention.

it was What matters most.

so sort of put down everything at hand, and read through the verses below the title. i didn't want to read through the contents, cos ll want to leave till the actual day itself to read it when the campaign starts. yeah, pretty anal about such stuff. hahas.

one of the verses was on 2 john 1:6, new century version. checked out NIV's, and it gave me some fresh perspective about the whole idea of Love.

thinking back, whenever anyone talks about love, its always common to share about John 3:16, and probably, we hear much about Corinthians.

"And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love."
- 2 john 1:6.

not quite sure if this equation is right, but this verse seems to suggest to me that walking in love=walking in obedience with the Lord. it was a pretty fresh idea to me, as i have never associated obedience with the idea of love so much at all in my christian walk so far .

but true enough, i think this verse does speak of, to love one another, we are to walk in obedience in Christ. only obedience can bring about an unconditional and a pure love. without which, all love is out of human efforts.

i really suppose, this love will feel so right; one that is not tainted with impurities of sin, regrets or shame, but one that is pleasing, sweet and eternal, cos the heart has haboured and honoured obedience unto Him.

so, a gd reminder. though it may be hard sometimes, walking in obedience exudes love. (:
