dang, freshmen retreat. that was seriously one of the most memorable moments of my freshmen year. i remember the sunday after that retreat, we all exchanged screennames and cell phone numbers with each other. who would've known that 2 days would produce so many wonderful relationships. only God knew.
right now, i'm watching the korean drama, Full House, with Song Hye Gyo and Bi. in today's episode, there was a scene where they fell asleep on each other's heads while watching a very nice view of the sunset at the beach. i'm no lover-boy but i have to admit that it was a pretty romantic scene. in fact, it gave me that "i wish i had a girlfriend" feeling.
in every relationship, a girl wants to see romance coming from the guy. korean dramas overdo it. zenia lusts after it. movies portray it all the time. but i'm not bashing romance at all. actually, my point is that we desire these things b/c it is in fact a very beautiful thing for a man and woman to show their love for each other through "romantic" words and actions. but goodness, if romance is as good as it appears and feels, how much more pleasurable and blissful will our eternal marriage with Christ be? i don't think this is limited to just relationships or marriage. imagine every pleasure that the world has to offer. every pleasure is just a glimpse of what God has in store for us one day. even if i can't marry Song Hye Gyo or drive Bi's car, i have assurance that i will have something infinitely better in heaven.
Hosea 2:19-20: I will betroth you to me forever; I will betroth you in righteousness and justice, in love and compassion. I will betroth you in faithfulness, and you will acknowledge the Lord.
what are our idols compared to God?
