| Hello! |
Recently, God has given me the heart to let go of my selfishness and to care for the people around me. I am compelled to look after my friends and family. That's probably one of the reasons why I started writing love letters. In addition, I think my love language to express love for others is through gifts. I just love giving. It doesn't necessarily have to be something store-bought. And it's definitely not something grandiose. My gifts are small things - to some people, it might seem nothing. I make cards, write letters and bake cookies. If the situation permits, I like to make it a surprise. I send the card in the mail or I secretly place a small gift in someone's jacket. It's nice to directly receive a present, but I like the curiosity and the unexpected surprise aspect when you find a card in the mail or a small box in your pocket. Either way, it brings joy to me. I hope that the people who receive these little presents from me can find the same joy that I want them to feel. I feel like I haven't done much to express my love for others lately, so God is giving me the heart to do that, which I'm really thankful for.
I want to challenge myself to step up, and try to look after people who are not my friends. I think I am doing a pretty good job with my friends and family (I really hope!), but I want to go beyond my comfort zone and share love with strangers. It's not something that will happen overnight. Certainly, it will need time and continuous prayer. I know it is God who is giving me this heart, and He is molding me to be more like Jesus.
