On disappointment...


I think I put too much trust on people.


Tonight, I was thoroughly disappointed by our inability to be compassionate towards others.  We don't understand why certain situations are stressful for certain people. We are insensitive. We are slow to help. We are not willing to sacrifice ourselves to love others. 

This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. - 1 john 4:10

True love is the willingness to sacrifice. True love is.. 

- When my apartmentmate cleaned the kitchen and bathroom regularly without saying a word when I still didn't know how to take care of a home when I was a second year

- When my sister woke up extra early to drop me off at work so that I can save 30 minutes commuting 

- When my brother volunteered to take a day off to give me a ride because otherwise I wouldn't be able to get a car


I need to learn how to love.
