It's love, not time... Stupid! -_-

 

I’d been very concerned about the concept of time recently and very dulan. Not in an exactly suicidal mode but more of wondering what the heck was The One up to with all this lack of activity going on. Going by the pragmatist model I usually operate, if something is not need, it should not be kept. And no matter how I look at how I am faring, I don’t think my peg in the entire cogwork of this universe really matters and I still do retain this view. Felt that God was a very resource-depleting God, wasting precious time and resources. However I hit upon the obstacle that God Himself controls time and it is for Him to waste anyway, so that was a reprieve of sorts from the time continuum rut that I had been stuck in.
Ok, since the concept of time waste is irrelevant to God, then what is relevant to Him. Ah, back to the basic verse of 1 Corinthians 13:4-5. God is concerned with love; His love for us and our love for Him. And so to ensure that this issue is settled, God is more than willing to use all the time in His capacity. So with this, the “voila” moment came. As long as one day God feels that I have not fully grasped and mastered 1 Corinthians 13:4-5 in its entirety, one more day I’ll have to continue my journey of learning. Well, no playing truant with this headmaster I guess… Note that the word "time" never appears in that verse at all.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
