如果認為在感情中吃虧
我們可以選擇停止付出
或是繼續付出且不求回報
強迫不願意進行交易的人交易
除了「勒索」
我不知道怎麽描述此行為
.
Giving in expectation of receiving
This is a trade undeserving to be called love.
.
We can stop giving if you think you are in a deficit in a relationship.
Or we can keep on giving without asking anything in return.
I can’t think of a better word than “ransom” forcing someone to trade against his will.
"A few years ago, I put across three prayer requests to Joseph Prince Ministries after hearing Pastor Prince’s encouragement. I was believing God to meet these prayer requests for the year.
They were namely, to have the opportunity to share God’s Word on a platform, to find a suitable life partner, and for the Lord to look after my mother when I’m unable to do so due to other responsibilities.
In the middle of last year, I started dating someone whom I really like and who complements me in every way.
We are getting married in a couple of months and God has provided for the wedding by keeping the costs very minimal.
We have also been receiving amazing provisions that help us prepare for our future together.
At the end of last year, I also became an assistant pastor in my church. It has been an exciting experience as I get to share God’s Word with the youths through preaching and songs of worship.
God’s grace has been truly amazing. I know that in and of myself, I’m not qualified or worthy of what I have today.
It is through Christ and His blood that God’s blessings are being poured into my life.
I’m still praying for my mother and believing God will continue to look after her as He has always been. I know that He can well provide for her just as He has for me.
In retrospect, God has been faithful over the past years in preparing me to do the things that He has placed in my hands today. I feel deeply loved and greatly blessed."

Scheme to Do Good
““Behold, I send you out as sheep among wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.” (Matthew 10:16 WEB)
There are many cunning people in this world who use shrewdness for evildoing.
However, Jesus wants us to be wise like a serpent in a way that is harmless, but instead producing goodness and peace.
Every day, scheme how you can advance God’s kingdom here on earth, to ambush people with God’s love. Plan how you can surprise people with an unexpected encounter with God, and set ‘traps’ for them to be abundantly blessed through prayer and sharing God’s word.
If you ask God for wisdom, He will invite you into His heavenly throne room and share His secret plans with you.
God is not looking for those who are capable in the flesh because He can supernaturally impart skillfulness, strength, and wisdom. Just read about Bezalel, Samson, and Solomon in the Old Testament and you will know.
God is just looking for someone who is willing. “Yes Lord, use me! I am willing and available to do Your will.” He can use a believer like that and endow him or her with great grace for the tasks.
“But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.” (Matthew 6:33 WEB)
Who is really going to act on Jesus’ words and seek God’s Kingdom and His righteousness as the number one priority every day? If that is you, God can use you more.
The easiest way for every believer to partner with God’s work is by praying.
“And [I pray] that the eyes of your heart [the very center and core of your being] may be enlightened [flooded with light by the Holy Spirit], so that you will know and cherish the hope [the divine guarantee, the confident expectation] to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints (God’s people),” (Ephesians 1:18 AMP)
No one has the excuse not to pray. Did you know that your spirit-man has eyes, ears, and a mouth too, just like your body?
Even a believer who is deaf, mute, blind, in a coma or vegetative state can still pray with his or her spirit-man.
I pray that you be a person who schemes how to do good with every opportunity you get that is from the Holy Spirit. Shalom!

mixing by enoch cheng
The world’s moving so fast I’m confused
Are you lost?
Are you trying to find yourself?
Are you being someone else?
We’re all tired of being a fool
But we still do the things that we do everyday
Bad decisions that we made
All the feelings that I couldn’t hide
And every little thought that only comes at night
My heart, my mind collide
Should I go or should I try?
Who am I trying to impress
All my expectation turns into regrets
I’m never gonna make it if I keep on chasing time
Reach, reach for the stars
We will go far
Let’s get lost in our own way
Feel, feelings inside
There’s no need to hide
Let’s get lost in our own pace
If I could be anywhere
I’d probably stay right here
No one to tell me where to go
I love to be on my own
If I could fly I’ll try
To travel with no plans no strings no ties
Listen to the voice in you
All you need is to follow
All the feelings that you try to hide
And every little thought that only comes at night
My heart, my mind collide
Should I go, at least I’ll try to
Reach, reach for the stars
You know who you are
Let’s get lost in our own way
Feel, feelings inside
There’s no need to hide
Let’s get lost in our own pace
firsttt single is out on spotify, apple music and everywhere!!!

________
When we fall in love with someone, it’s because we have things in common. So naturally, our mind’s hooked on to the idea that we’re similar. But, whilst we may have similarities with our partner, we’re extremely different people.
No matter how alike we are on the surface, no matter how much we love each other, it’s extremely important to have the mindset that this person is an individual who comes from a completely different background, upbringing, mindset or even culture.
Because expectations is the cause of most problems in a relationship, and the expectation that we are the same causes disappointment and frustration and resentment when our partner doesn’t get us; but the acknowledgement that we very different people who love each other leads us down the path of patience and seeking to understand even when there’s a disagreement.
The work of any relationship lies in the ability to rise above things that trigger us, that sets us off. It requires more mental practice than simply good intentions, because we can have all the good intentions in the world when we’re in a good mood and things are going well, but the moment we’re frustrated or angry, life-long habits are triggered and we react negatively despite our good intentions.
When we’re in a relationship, we may be in a team, but we’re two very different people on the same team. Whether or not we’re able to adjust to the differences depends on our own mental and emotional capabilities. So working at our relationships means constantly working on ourselves.
Love is amazing, but love isn’t enough in a relationship, because it takes empathy, understanding and a lack of expectations to still be kind and to still be loving even when we’re angry. That’s the work of a relationship, and it’s the kind of work that will pay off both for our own self-development and the quality of our relationship, where we’ll be able to be happy, always.
