下一個十年
在團契給困在中場，快要走進人生下半場的弟兄姊妹主領了這個周會，在預備過程中came across Rev Rick Warren's quotes again。下面是其中兩段，一段在團契中引述了，另一段因為太長沒有用上，但其實是第一段很好的注釋，所以還是要將它記下來。Inspired and touched by them!"The best use of life is love. The best expression of love is time. The best time to love is now."
~ Rick Warren
"Time is your most precious gift because you only have a set amount of it. You can make more money, but you can't make more time. When you give someone your time, you are giving them a portion of your life that you'll never get back. Your time is your life. That is why the greatest gift you can give someone is your time. It is not enough to just say relationships are important; we must prove it by investing time in them. Words alone are worthless. "My children, our love should not be just words and talk; it must be true love, which shows itself in action." Relationships take time and effort, and the best way to spell love is "T-I-M-E."

>"The best use of life is love."
It makes a lot of sense. If Christ came to this world to show the world agape, we his followers must have at least as part of our life goal to live out his agapic love.
This is from Paul Tripp,
Agape love is ...
... willing self-sacrifice
... willing self-sacrifice for the good of another
... willing self-sacrifice for the good of another that does not require reciprocation
... willing self-sacrifice for the good of another that does not require reciprocation or that person being loved is deserving.
Thank you for the supplementary note, BigHead!
"You were made by God and for God and until you understand that, life will never make sense." ~ Rick Warren
Yes, living a life of agape love will definitely help to make sense our lives.
