Love

This is was actually yesterday's entry for Our Daily Bread from YMIBlogging.com.

The title is Secured Love.

I just love how she can relate her situation to God's unfailing love and the love that resides in the earth. It is true as we pass our time here on Earth, love will soon fade off among humans. Some of us take love for granted, me being no exception. Sometimes I just take my parents for granted, for all the things they done for you, but you just don't acknowledge them or even a simple thank you. Words can be a very powerful tool too, besides actions of course. So I guess that how God feels about us. He loves us so much that He send His one and only Son to die on the cross for us. Yet we cannot even bother of acknowledging that. How selfish are we that we just keep thinking of ourself. In this fallen world, the only thing that matters is ME ME ME!! That is why humanly love does not last long. For example during times of despair, we don't immediately go through arms and length to help that person. More profound if we just know that person at a marginal level. Yeah love is very hard to sustain in this world. Some friendships die off after some times. Parents and children drift off from each other due to their hectic life and not to mention their career. In this fast-pacing world, it is hard to catch up and just chat.

But God is forever with us to the end of time. And He wants us to love Him as much as He loves us. There is one line that touches my heart in the entry which is:
Once we trust Christ as Savior, the guarantee of God’s love is ours forever.


Yesterday after church, I volunteered for a TeamMonash event called "Around the Bay" whereby 16,000 people participated. And I and a couple of my friends are assigned to be on the cheering squad. So all of us just screams our lungs out and just make massive noises to cheer those bikes that been cycling for like 100km and are almost reaching the finish line. And somehow of every motivation lines you can come up with, guess what I said? I don't know because I am an introvert most of the time, but given this opportunity, I just did it. I told those cyclist that comes by us, I said that "we loves you". My friends keep telling me "say I love you, not we lah". Haha. But I couldn't care less. I believe all of us should love everyone as said so in the bible. You can put up a smile on people faces when you just stand there cheering them on, knowing people do care about them. I believed that how God feels all the time. Cheering us on whenever we are obedient to Him and just be still and be obedient to His words. And when we do work of ministry, the whole heavens and all of the angels along with God are cheering for us. How awesome is that!! Even more we should not neglect our purpose here on Earth, which is to spread the gospel, make disciples of all nations and baptising them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:18).


God is all about love. God is love. So praise Him that He will help us and bless us in every situation in all that we do, knowing His abundant love will pour upon us till the end of time. Jesus wants you to know that it is ok to bring all your problems to Him no matter how big or small because through His love, He will empower us and strengthen us in everything we do. Imagine the overwhelming love when we rejoice with Him in heaven. I just can't wait.
