Love beyond Reasons

On Sept 14 morning, the rhema I got from meditating Philippians 2.1-10 was:
“We” is more important than “I”, so I’d give up my rights for my friends coz they’re wonderful.
On that very day, I confirmed my meeting with a friend for the next day to help him. I sent him a text message in the evening: “Will we meet tmrw? What time?” His response was: “Is it something that will hurt/disappoint me? If so, I’d better not meet u.”

And I was like: “What?” I’d like to answer like this: “Okay, then I won’t meet u, I won’t say anything 2u! I’ll let God Himself train u in the way u should go. I’ll just pray 4u.” As I was thinking that way, the rhema came up to my mind:
“We” is more important than “I”, so I’d give up my rights for my friends coz they’re wonderful.

So, I said,” Father, please help me to love him no matter what.” I envisioned I hugged the Lord’s arm tightly coz of the pain of giving up my rights of blurting out my emotions to my friend.

Instead of saying bad things to him or saying something rudely, I simply said (thru a text message): “I want to help you”. And I meant it. It really came from my heart.

And that is love beyond reasons. I’ve learnt my lesson that day, and, with the Father’s help, I conquered my own desire (gave up my rights).

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God, but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men. And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Philippians 2.5-8
