*|ZOEgirl "Give me one reason"
Today during Sunday school, my class had a talk about BGR. About whether we should have a relationship with a guy (my sunday school class are all girls) who is not a christian. And guess what, had that conversation with Jit just now. What a coincidence.
For me, I will still stand on the side of having a boyfriend who is a christian and loves God. It may seem heartless to reject a guy because he is not a christian but at least still get to be friends. Not only that there won't be the problem of him becoming a christian just cos he likes me. Giving up a guy just because he is not christian is tough too but in the end, it be okay. I just find it hard to have a boyfriend who is not a christian. How can both of us support and grow spritually when he isn't a christian, when he doesn't know and love God. It is hard growing up in a half christian, half non christian family. My friend went through that and it was really tough on her. As for me, I grew up in a non christian family though I am a christian. Life is tough... I can still remember the times when I wished my parents were christians so that they can support me spritually. I very very much wanted someone to be there for me spiritually, family wise and at all times, I was alone. But I am glad that no matter how badly hurt I was (now family situation is much better), I have God. And because of this, I can't imagine myself having a bf who is not a christian.
This really remind me of a song that I love, "Give me a reason" by ZOEgirl. I guess anyone can figure out why after listening to the song and looking at the lyrics.
"Give me one reason"
Give me one reason to live without Him
Give me one reason to walk away
I know you don't understand this feeling
How can I show
That He is the reason I have to let you go
I've tried so hard to change your mind
I always thought that you'd understand the reasons why
Why I don't want to do the things that I used to do
Now that my heart and my soul belong to God and God alone
Still every night's a fight to make it through
I can't deny I'm still in love with you
But how can you expect me to
Walk with Him and give myself to you
Give me one reason to live without Him
Give me one reason to walk away
I know you don't understand this feeling
How can I show
That He is the reason I have to let you go
Boy, I still long for your embrace
But what I've found in God, oh, it could never ever be replaced
Still I pray for the chance
As you slip through my hands you'll come around
But your heart's so far away from the words I'm trying to say
Wish I could hold you both and still be true
There's only one thing left for me to do
Baby, I love you
But I can't stay with you unless you love Him too
Give me one reason to live without Him
Give me one reason to walk away
I know you don't understand this feeling
How can I show
That He is the reason I have to let you go
I've found the path that I've gotta take
No turning back, back to the old ways
Got a chance to take
Sacrifice to make
Whatever it takes I won't turn away
Give me one reason to live without Him
Give me one reason to walk away
I know you don't understand this feeling
How can I show
That He is the reason I have to let you go
Give me one reason to live without Him
Give me one reason to walk away
I know you don't understand this feeling
How can I show
That He is the reason I have to let you go
Still remember the first time I was listening to this song. We (My church frens and I) were all rehearsing for the play written by Karin Fu!!! Haha and Min said that this song is really really good and it has to be part of the play and that is how my brother ended up playing the role of Ke Xin's BF and their break up scene was really really good. Some people cried. It's really good. Miss the good old days. Now everyone is so busy with school and work. Oh well, guess this year Karin wont be writing any skit but at least we are going to have a camp for all the young kids in Sunday school. Can apply what we learn in discipleship class and I get to do logistics again. WOo Hoo... LOL I must be nuts. Really hope Joshua and Jonathan will go for the camp. Shall pray about it.
