To Love A Person Is Not Easy

Lately many of my friends (from Calgary or Vancouver) have been consistently venting to me about their personal problems (and they would all approach me late at night too): school, work, or love relationships. Mostly love relationships.

How come love can be so bothering to people (including myself)? How come it is so hard to find satisfaction in a relationship? And especially for Christians (maybe for non-Christians as well, depending on your value system), how come it is so hard to find a perfect other-half, someone who we could spend the rest of our lives with? How come some people can get it (as in a partner) so easily?

I ponder upon these questions a lot, and so far my conclusion is still the same - true love waits. It is like planting a tree. We have to first plant the seeds, water and fertilise it regularly and let it grow in its own speed. We can't force it grow faster. Likewise, a relationship takes time to develop. I don't know how other people think, but I prefer to have a close friendship with my target first before I proceed. I also believe a relationship must be mutual. And all of these would only happen when we take time.

Above all, I believe God would give me the perfect one - the one who will complete my life. God loves us infinitely. He even called Jesus Christ to take on flesh and die for us for our transgressions. With this unconditional love, for He has given us life, how can we not believe that He would always give us the best at the best time?

Be positive with life! Since in God there is always hope!
