I have just came back from my camp and had a lot of new experiences.
I realised how can a small action touches someone.
A encouraging remark like, "Well done!", can motivate someone.
I met a lot of new friends, some of them lent their help to one another, allowing me understand how love can overcomes selfishness and other things else.
Love do not comes from anywhere, but in our hearts.
And devotions, Quiet times and worship in the camp had allowed me discovered more things like,
My camp theme song:
let there be love shared among us
let there be love in our eyes
may now your love sweep this nation
cause us oh lord, to arise
give us a fresh understanding
of brotherly love that is real
let there be love shared among us
let there be love
(this song and performances done by fellow camp mates allowed me to understand that love is like the cement that sticks the bricks-which is us- bond us all together)
and,
Luke 10:25-37 (New International Version)
The Parable of the Good
Samaritan
25On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus.
"Teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?"
26"What is
written in the Law?" he replied. "How do you read it?"
27He answered: "
'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all
your strength and with all your mind'[a]; and, 'Love your neighbor as
yourself.'[b]"
28"You have answered correctly," Jesus replied. "Do this
and you will live."
29But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked
Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"
30In reply Jesus said: "A man was going
down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers. They
stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31A
priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he
passed by on the other side. 32So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and
saw him, passed by on the other side. 33But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came
where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34He went to him
and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own
donkey, took him to an inn and took care of him. 35The next day he took out two
silver coins[c] and gave them to the innkeeper. 'Look after him,' he said, 'and
when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.'
36"Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell
into the hands of robbers?"
37The expert in the law replied, "The one
who had mercy on him."
Jesus told him, "Go and do likewise."
