Love is in the air

It’s that time of the year again – flowers, chocolates, cards flying all over the place! ;)

But did you ever wonder where our need to love and to be loved came from? Why is it that we go all ga-ga over cute little babies and shower our love over family and loved ones? And what about the yearning for that special someone who will be the love of our life? How can it be that this peculiar feeling called love is found only in us humans, especially when some scientists would have us believe that all living things evolved from some mutant bacteria or algae?!

Well, my dear friends, the answer is simple. These scientists are wrong! We were created in God’s image, not some ape’s! It seems illogical and far-fetched but isn’t that exactly what love is? God is love and He made us with the same capacity that He has - to love and feel loved. So as we celebrate the season of love, let us also remember to rejoice and give thanks for the love that our Creator has put in us!

爱的季节

一年一度，鲜花、巧克力、情书满天飞的时刻又到来了！

你是否曾想过人为什么会爱和想被爱呢？这爱又来自哪里呢？为什么我们看到可爱的小宝宝时会忍不住想去疼他、呵护他？为什么我们会懂得关怀我们的家人？为什么我们会渴望遇见生命的挚爱？为什么许多科学家千方百计的设法证实人类的根源来自细菌的变异及海藻的进化，却无法解释为什么万兽当中唯有人类才能拥有“爱”这种独特的感觉？

亲爱的朋友，答案很简单，那些科学家都错了！我们并不是猿猴，而是神的孩子，是他按照他的形象所造的。这虽然听起来毫无逻辑，也有些牵强，但爱不也是毫无逻辑，无法用言语解释的吗？神是爱，他在创造人类时，同时也让我们就像他一样拥有爱。因此，我们不要忘了，怀着感恩的心与神一起共同庆贺这爱的季节！
