I think it is important to fall in love a few times in your life. The most fortunate thing that happen to me is to fall in love with God. I am also thankful for the opportunity to fall in love with Isaac, missions. And to a lesser extent for shorter periods, things like rock climbing, rollerblading, JS, random periods of my life that taught me various lessons. I guess they also help me to know myself better, what I would give for, and to what extent. Sometimes I look back and think, I dont think I have that energy anymore, like do weekly visits to boon lay and travel to Boy's hostel to teach tuition in my year 3 uni. Or go to chinese church 3 times a week with a band of visually impaired youth. But I guess when He presents you with that challenge, and He gives you the passion to love something, sometimes you can surprise yourself and you dont even think much of it while you are doing it. Days become weeks become months and years and you look back and think, where did that energy come from.

I also think it is important to love unconditionally, not the emo/feelings type of love, but the kind that does what is needed day after day, without need for a return on your 'investment', not looking for 'fruits' or response. This kind of love is the most free-ing, most rewarding, and also the kind that leaves no regrets. Perhaps because it allows you to catch a glimpse of God.

In the end, God is most important in everything you do.
