I do

I took the flight today (29 dec 2011) going back to indo. Have such a great bros and sis who sent me off even though im going only for 1 month. But really feel their love.

Melisa, one of my good friends, gave me a book "Completely His loving Jesus without limit" to accompany me during my flight and during my bored moment in indo.


While waiting to take off, I opened the book. And I read the preface. Where its something unusual for me to do. I love to jump into the contain itself because I feel it will waste my time and effort to read the preface.

But to my surprise, while I read her preface I can sense that she really put her identity as Jesus's bride. where in the end of her prepafe, She gives thanks to her bridegroom Jesus and once again said 'I do'.

while I read the word 'I do' I question myself, what kind of 'I do' statement that she pronounce?

Is it something when people ask you do you want to have lunch this afternoon, and your answer will be i do.

But I found it isn't that kind of answer. And suddently my memory flashed back on early of this month where I attended 'ai" and beto' wedding, where they make a vow towards one another. They vow to be together in sickness an health, in poor and rich, only death will set them apart.


Well if you are married, in relationship or even maybe you are single right now, but you know that in marriage life will not be honeymoon stage all the time. There are a moment where you quarell, you upset with your partner. But because of your vow, you will continue together and learn to love one another unconditionally. There are a moment where you have no more 'lust' but because of your vow, you choose to love.


Friends when I flashed back on this, deep inside my heart believe that when she said 'I do', she knows that she wont be seperated with her bridegroom through many circumstances she might need to face. Because she will keep the love of her groom.

In our Christian walk with Jesus, there are times that we lost our first love towards Him, we lost our excitement and fire to be with His presence.
But as we grow in our spirituality, I believe we will be tested in our love commitment with our creator.
So do we still remember our vow when we invite Him to be our Lord and saviour?
Do we still love Him aside of all the circumstances that we faced?

are we going to say "I do" once again to Him?

I said "I do".
