The Great Love

Sigh...i've been feeling unwell for the past days, but body finally detoxified itself by sweating profusely whole night long. And i just changed my bedsheet last Tuesday (duh!). The sudden change in temperature from 10 plus degree C to 26 oC is probably one of the reasons, but i'm glad that it is pretty warm now and i can wear short sleeves around. Being a M'sian who has lived her entire life in tropical hot climate that either rains or is superbly hot all year round, i can always say i prefer the warmth over the chill.

Today is a special day. Another day of the year to quiet down and remind ourselves of the Lord's utmost sacrificial love. The cruxifiction of Christ. Besides having head upsets and feeling nauseous lately (NO, i'm not pregnant!), i had been pretty upset with my own well being, so much that i felt i've neglected God's divine purpose for my life. When i looked at the bees working hard collecting flower nectars for pollination, i began to ponder on myself. Have i been working hard when God Himself is working hard? Have i been doing the right thing? Have i been setting an example as the daughter of God as i so claimed? Have i been thanking Him for everything that He has provided, or even for the sun that shines today? Have i been appreciating every single bit of my life, my family and friends?

God is soo gracious. 2,000 years ago, Christ came to give. He came for the poor, the sick, the needy and for those who are desperate for love. He came because He loves each of us so such, so exceedingly that He gave himself over to death to redeem our souls. Never have i heard or seen any love as great as this!! And He's not asking anything in return, but our hearts.

The choice has been given to us. The road has been laid, door opened and Christ has paid the price. It's up to us to believe, accept and repent before God. It's our decision; nobody is forcing even God Himself. He's only calling, calling you to run into His arms because He wants you to know one thing: He loves you dearly.
