~ Unconditional & Scarificial Love ~

I just wanted to share this 1 thing that really impacted me and spoke into my heart.

There was this 1 day, when I was taking the train, I saw a sight that reminded me of God's unconditional love.

There was a couple in their 60/70's. The man was in a wheel chair, the lady was old, frail and walking with a bit of difficulty. As the lady pushed the man in and I offered her a seat, but she waved me away and declined. It was then that she turned aside and decided instead, to fully care for her husband. She slowly and carefully put on a sweater for her husband and wiped off his sweat, offered a drink and took care of his every need without a single complain. Yet, from her expressions, you could see that she was tired, panting and had an expression that revealed that she was fatigue.

Yet through it all, she took care of his every need and refused to seat. She made sure that he was comfortable, had a drink and was happy with how he was. Even as she was going to fall, she didn't care, she just wanted to make sure that he was alright. Every few seconds, she would just take a look to see if he was okay, and that he was comfortable.

It was just a short 15 minutes. yet, it really wrecked my heart and made me think of all the instances when I hear of couples beaking up cause of a disability of either, and thought back of the times when youths just totally disregards senior citizens, pretending like they were non-existent.

How could so many people claim to love when they're not even willing to sacrifice? When their love is bordered on conditions of health and stability?

It was then, that God really spoke to me and impressed upon my heart.
about the fullness and totallity of His great love.

In reality, with sin, we are really like an old man or old women, crippled, sitting on a wheel chair and with so many needs. Yet He never gave up on us, even when satan came and caused Him to die on the cross. It was like the mrt jerk, trying to stumble and create an obstacle. As though, it would discourage Him from caring for us and just loving us.

Yet... it just couldn't stop His love. He did all that; suffer ridicule, go through betrayal, be tortured, crucified and die on that very cross. All this, just cause He loves us, and wants us to be well & live a life that would be for Him.

Washing our sins and bringing us to a stage where we are just 'comfortable' per se, but when we believe, we in turn should and can be like the old lady, even with discomforts, but in turn care and love others.

This is God's love...

An unconditional, sacrificial and overwhelming love...

~ a thought on a person's prayer life ~

A Person's prayer life is like running.

When you run, day in, day out, and keep running, you'll be able to run faster and for a longer distance. Likewiese, when you keep praying, you grow stronger and am able to pray longer.

If you set your heart on running, you'll be able to accomplish beyond what you originally though you could. When you set your heart on praying, letting go of all else that distracts and let God speak to you, you'll be brought to another level. In spirit and relationship with the Father, just keep seeking Him, and it'll be brought higher.

When you slacken and decide to take a break, you realise that you can't run like you used to be able to, easily weary and want to give up. It's the same when you pray. However, when you pull yourself together and press in, there will be a breakthrough and you will grow.

It's amazing isn't it?

God reveals so much in our everyday lives, that a simple thing like running can have so much to do with our spiritual life. I believe that if we keep praying and pressing on, running consistently in our spiritual life, we will grow and grow.

Setting our lives in Him will just carry us beyond our original capacity and beyond our originally thought potential.
