Chapter Two - What is Happening is Happening in Good Way

Continuing from the Chapter One, our journey from the first meet developed to second meeting, third, fourth and planning some outings and now we are getting married.

Through these two years journey and exploring what we want as an individual and as a couple, situations never been all time comfortable. I am so proud to say that we fought, we told to the other that we wanted to break-up, we stopped talking with each other for somedays, we scolded each other and doubting each other's love. From all those we learnt to respect each other and made some decisions as a couple. And the best thing is we experienced wonderful feelings of missing each other and loving each other after every arguments and fight.

Love relationship is never so different from how is our relationship with God. In both, decision to love is the key to continuation.

In our relationship, the little things we did to the other are the greatest gifts we gave and received. I can't forget my first kiss, the warmth of her body when I hug her, her childlike and annoying attitude, the way she finds comfort under my arms when she felt hurt, the way she appreciated and boasted to her friends when I bought her some gifts, the way she laughed at my jokes although it is not very funny, the happiness we share when we went out together, the way we forgetten the world around us and only thought about us, the proud feelings that we felt when making decisions as a couple, when we complimented each other, when we encouraged each other and many more.

We are now in the midst of planning our wedding and we very much know that there are more to discover about each other and us. The confidence that we have on this marriage was not imposed or inspired by another person or couple or situation but we grew this confidence by fostering us to narrow our gaps. It is easy to break-up and to find a new partner but it is not easy to go back to our partner that has challenged us and say, "Hi". Unless by acceptance (coping), love cannot succeed.

If you believe in love and wanted to be loved, always accept that what has happened, is happening and will happen has been, is and will be happening in good way.

Deciding - Wisely? Or Smartly?

When making a decision, we are always taught or atleast warned to make a wise decision. Most of the time we try to make a smart decision.

Smart decision is self-centered. It could be for self, for the family, for the company, for the friends, for the politic party, for the country and even for God, but there main reason behind a smart decision is for self's benefit. When making a smart decision, we will get appraisals in the manner of monetary or loyalty or fear or people less bother us or many other self benefits where the list can go on.

When wise decision is made, there is no assurance that we will get appraisal. Sometimes people even can describe us as stupid. When a decision is made wisely, a fair judgement is made in conjuction.

For example when making wise decision in marrying a person, we see all the downfall of that person yet deciding to marry that person because we faithfully believe in God is the center of the marriage and we can cope. If smart decision is made, marrying a difficult person is a no because our life will be more complicated then. When making wise decision in promoting a person, we see his/hers credibility. If smart decision is made, we see the appraisal from the smart move by promoting a credible person.

Wise decision is made with wisdom. God made wise decision and that is why He created human. He knew humankind will betray Him but He also knew human will learn His greatest gift. Love. If God ever made a smart decision, we will not be alive because truly we are destroying the world, the masterpiece of God.

I pray that we, brothers and sisters and including myself, make wise decisions in every moment of our life. I pray that may God blesses us with His wisdom.

Amen.
