My Great Love

LOVE. 

Just a simple word. 

Just a single short word but can be defined in various definitions.

Love is an intense feeling of deep emotion.

Love is being kept up all night because you cannot think of anything but your heart's desire.

Love is one touch leaving you breathless.

Love is like a fever which comes and goes independently of the will.

Love is blind.

Love can make one's world go round.

Love is..

Love is..

But among all this definitions, what I greatly believed in is that, this four-letter word can be equate with this three wonderful letters, G-O-D. That real love was God and what God had gave us.

                                   

This verse reflects how God showed His love for us. How much He can do just to protect us from evil, and how much more He can do in order for us to be saved.

This kind of love that I am talking about is the love that I consider my great love. HE is my great love. It is really wonderful to know that He is always there for me no matter how hard the situation may be. That He is there when nobody else’s cares. Every time I feel alone and weak, He gives me strength. Every time I’m hopeless, He cheers me up.

I admit that I am one of His stubborn child. I often disobey Him. I can’t even stand up for Him in front of those people who question His existence. But he never leaves me. Imagined, for almost eighteen years now, He never made me feel that I am not loved. Even in a simple waking up each morning is His way of expressing His love. I mean, there’s a big possibility for me to stay asleep forever, but He is there beside me, tapping my shoulder, telling me to wake up and share another day with Him. Isn't it amazing that even I tend to forget to pray at night, He never fails to wake me up? See how loving our God was? That no matter how many times we fail Him for those many mistakes that we have made, our value in His eyes remain exactly the same child he made. That nothing we do will ever cause Him to love us less. With Him we are greatly blessed, highly favored and deeply loved forever.

Now I am trying to give back all His love. It is my turn now. I know that I can’t love him the way He loves me, but what I can do is that, to love Him with all the means that I can. With Him, I will never feel rejected. There’s no heartaches. There’s no pain. Only joy. Only pleasure. Only overflowing happiness.

                                            

I love you my God. My savior. My redeemer. My shepherd. My hope. My great love.

It is not too late for a change. He is just waiting for you to open your heart for Him. It is not too late for you to experience His great love. For I, His not so kind and not so nice child has changed into a better individual covered with His pure, unconditional and never ending love, then you will too.
