Trouble Yet Indispensable

Trouble 42: LOVE is Indispensable

Love never gives up.

Love cares more for others than for self.

Love doesn't want what it doesn't have.

Love doesn't strut,

Doesn't have a swelled head,

Doesn't force itself on others,

Isn't always "me first,"

Doesn't fly off the handle,

Doesn't keep score of the sins of others,

Doesn't revel when others grovel,

Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,

Puts up with anything,

Trusts God always,

Always looks for the best,

Never looks back,

But keeps going to the end.
(1 Corinthians 13:4-‬7 MSG)

Sa dami ng depinisyon ng Love sa mundo, ito ang pinakagusto ko. Gasgas na? Sobrang gamit na gamit na? Maari. Pero hindi natin maipagkakaila na ito ang totoo.

Love is Indispensable.

Love.. Is something that builds up people not ruining them. Love will lead you to bringing the best to other and changing for the better everyday.

Love isn't given to our partner alone, it is bestowed to everyone just as what Jesus did. That's our purpose — to love God and His people.

If you're wondering how did Rayne have a sudden change of perspective, that's how she defined love before. And I just want you to know that she's still not coming back to her faith; this is the author herself.

"It's not what Engineers do, but how they think about the world that makes them different. GOOD EVENING LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!" Pasimula ni Kim sa kanilang programa.

Palakapakan lang ang maririnig sa loob ng auditorium samantalang sa backstage ay nandoon ang mga estudyanteng hindi na mapakali dahil sa magkahalong excitement at kaba. Lahat sila nag-effort para mangyari ang event na ito, lahat sila tumulong sa pangangalap ng funds at one time pa, binisita nila ang charity na tutulungan nila sa pamamagitan ng Showcase for a Cause na ito, isang charity para sa mga batang matapang na nilalabanan ang kanilang mga karamdaman, mga batang nakitaan nila ng pag-asa kaya't naging inspirado sila na mas pagbutihan pa ang bawat practice at ang performance nila.

"Tonight is the night that we will witness the other side of these future Engineers. That Engineers could also be artists. And as we begin.." Huminto sa pagsasalita si Sean at tumingin kay Kim habang naghihintay ng cue ng dalaga. Silang dalawa ang Masters of Ceremony since silang dalawa ang nakabunot ng solo performances.

"Let us all stand up as we worship the One who made this event all possible. Let's all welcome The Ignition of Knight Lights to lead us on the doxology to be followed by the National Anthem." Umalis silang dalawa sa spotlight habang nagtatayuan ang mga manunuod na talagang bumili ng tickets para makapasok, nandito kasi ang Igknights na hinahangaan nila at ang iba naman ay pamilya ng mga estudyanteng magpeperform ngayon at ang mga tao sa charity na tutulungan nila.

Nagtungo si Sean sa gitara niya habang ang ibang member naman ng banda nila ay kanina pang naka-pwesto at hinihintay lamang matapos ang introduction nila.

Gumawa ng beat si Chris na sinundan naman agad ng melodiya na gawa ni Aldrin at Sean.

It's so amazing kung paanong ang mga tao na nasa loob ng auditorium ay nadala nila into worshiping God. Iyon talaga ang gusto nila but seeing people raising their hands as they sing is a sight to see. Dalawang worship song ang tinugtog nila na ginawa nilang isa kaya't mas nakatataas balahibo. Idagdag pa ang magandang boses ni Christian na pinapangalawahan ni Sean. Ito kasi ang unang pagkakataon na maglelead sila ng worship at ito rin ang unang pagkakataon na tumugtog sila sa harap ng maraming tao hindi para sumikat ngunit para bigyang papuri ang Diyos na pinagsisilbihan nila.
