Can't get enuff, here's the second one
hey thks pple for all ur inputs. they are great! will use them for my subject titles someday! =) well I was thinking of using 'Dairy of Her Eternal Kiss' (refer to post July 31). -Her desires & love/the Everlasting relationship/The Exchange. heehee. *wink* i've not decided tho' there's still room for suggestions.
Anyway i had a chat with a fren whom i have not met for a long time. Some thoughts came to mind, so i had chapter 2. Njoy
----On Loving The World----
Charmaine loves the glamour, the attention and all that's in it. Her heart runs after the things that bring much delight and instant pleasure. To be cool, to be polished and be able to blend in the culture. The glamour is alluring, like magnet pulling her towards the ways of life. Her actions, attitude and perspective towards relationship Just like the mentality of many: Short and instant, quick and forgotten.
Her secret to life is never to let anyone see the cracks. Cover up if you need to with lies, superficial beauty or empty promises. Charmaine's motto: Life is beautiful when you are seen perfect. Meeting the rich and the powerful. Her sphere of influences are surrounded by willful thinking and idealistic wishes. Trying to fit someone into his or her own wish list. Looking for an ideal partner that eventually wouldn't satisfy their needs few years or even just months down the road. Let's Face it, no one will.

James reminds her however, that flirting with the glamour of this world is like being the world's lover, an unfaithful friend, it is by her love of the world, by her spiritual disloyalty, that she become an enemy of God. (See James 4:4)
So are we indulging in this love affair with the world or having compassion for the world?
'Never give your hearts to this world or to any of the things in it, the whole world system is based on men's primitive desires, their greedy ambitions and the glamour of all that they THINK is splendid' 1 John 2:15-16 Phillips translation
