Stardust

From Stardust the movie:
Yvaine: You know when I said I knew little about love? That wasn't true. I know a lot about love. I've seen it, centuries and centuries of it, and it was the only thing that made watching your world bearable. All those wars. Pain, lies, hate... It made me want to turn away and never look down again. But when I see the way that mankind loves... You could search to the furthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful. So yes, I know that love is unconditional. But I also know that it can be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable and strangely easy to mistake for loathing, and... What I'm trying to say, Tristan is... I think I love you. Is this love, Tristan? I never imagined I'd know it for myself. My heart... It feels like my chest can barely contain it. Like it's trying to escape because it doesn't belong to me any more. It belongs to you. And if you wanted it, I'd wish for nothing in exchange - no gifts. No goods. No demonstrations of devotion. Nothing but knowing you loved me too. Just your heart, in exchange for mine.
Can I love God that much? I hope so. I knew I once did.

"But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." Matt 7:14
There are bountiful distractions in life. Being in a fast-paced 'modern' society such as Singapore - as a uni undergrad... there's studies, friends, boardgames, facebook, mousehunt, sleep... etc. This list continues. I'm not saying that one should abandon all this and pursue God alone. There is a time and season for everything. But it really becomes a cause for concern when these things take the place of God.
One year ago, I was in country X on a mission trip. And now I'm slacking off during recess week. Quite a big difference ain't it? Yet circumstances should not affect your relationship with God right? Even if I went into prison, my father would still be my father right? So the question now is why has it been affected?

Re-orientate. Re-focus. Return.
