Belief, Value, and Action

 

Belief, Value, and Action

It is said that belief is fundamental to values that are reflected in actions.

And people are comprised of individual myriads of beliefs. 

At the conference about Christian dates, the lecturer highlighted that we should find the one who has the same/similar definition of 'to love'. 

Someone defines it as 'to give out all willingly, including sexual behaviors.'

Someone defines it as 'to protect and nurture each other for continuous multidimensional growth.'

Why I could not feel loved might be driven by this advice. 

We might have defined how to love in different, incompatible ways. 

For the sake of meaningful reflections on my fast-moving life,

I would like to make lists of what I believe, value, and how I act based on them. 

1. 

I believe God Father who has created, led, protected, taught, beloved, and planned for me.

That's why I value the relationship with God, ceaseless entreaty toward God, and life battles guarded by God.

Therefore I worship, appreciate, study, and turn back to God despite endless troubles and struggles.

2. 

I believe love is to share ups and downs, to be there for each other's lows and highs, to root for one another no matter how it seems hard, to try to understand weaknesses and learn strengths, and be able to enliven dull days together with silly jokes and quirky secret codes.

Accordingly, I value communication, shared time, mutual easiness, prioritized concerns for each other's well-being in multiple ways, and the embracement of vulnerabilities.

So I support and sympathize with the lover, especially on gloomy days, and weigh honest conversation to share life stories and fragility. 

3. 

I believe that the teacher can massively affect students' lives if the teacher has the integrity and identity to discover their potential and spark their hidden enthusiasm. 

To make it true, I put great effort into being open-minded and sincere so that they can approach with fewer burdens and feel protected and recognized in the classroom. 

It boosts me to be at my best in learning, experiencing, and sharing inspirations and realizations to teach by my life itself, rather than my words.

We have infinitely various spectrums of belief mechanisms. 

Compatibility that is known as the result of similar minds and interests would be unconsciously concluded by those hidden beliefs that appear naturally but randomly in acts.

That explains my state of being steadily close to my friends that I met from the same belief group.

I have mused that it might be feasible to be seeing a guy that has a different belief mechanism such as Christianity. 

But it has turned out that they end up affecting me to involuntarily compromise my preexisting valuations based on my belief and become worldly, which makes me grapple with guilty and emptiness.

If my core belief collapses by somebody, then I am no longer self-sufficient and truly happy.

I earnestly long for this new year to see myself, others, and the world from God's point of view. 

To actualize that desire, I also wish to have one with beliefs pointing to God. 

I pray for a like-minded community in an upcoming new environment.

And I do pray for a congenial partner who can love in a way to protect and encourage each other's lifelong growth. 

Who would be the one that spots my worth and uniqueness?

I will wait for you by recalling mine from the perspective of God.

No matter how it is difficult to find the right one at right time in the right place,

at any cost, I will recognize you with enough maturity and integrity to literally love you.

Gosh, my heart leaps up!

Can't wait to wait and see him!
