God's love for us.
yeah..i mean..who hasnt talked about this issue? God loves each and everyone of us. no matter who you are. be it a rebellious kid. be it the boy who flunked all his exams. think about the parable about the Pharisee and the Tax Collector (Luke 18:9-14).
sometimes..i just feel that i am so unworthy of his love. i'm a sinner. i've forsaken Him countless times. how many a times have i chose work over Him? how many times have i chose studies over Him? How many times have i chose Forever21.com over Him? how many times have i put Him 2nd on my list? and yet He says this...
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." - Romans 5:8
while we were yet sinners --> while we were and are still sinning. while we are so unworthy of this sacrifice. think of this, why should He send his Son to die for my salvation when He knows i'll be this rotten egg here with all kinds of bad character (bad temper, self centredness..). most (if not all) Christians should know Romans 5:8 by now. but do you know it by heart? How have you lived with this grace that has been given to you?
some may think..ahyer. why God is so stupid.. Nono okayy. ;P God is willing to do this to show how much he loves you for YOU. He will love the yesterday-you, today-you and the future-you. He wont go like 'WAHH' if you get good grades or hold some prestigious job or do like 93848974358959045hours of community service. Nor will he go like 'BOOO' when you've fought a lost battle or got zero for spelling or peed in your pants. Even when you have done something ranging from not very bad to very very bad , He knows and still loves you if you seek forgiveness and repent. He sees your heart. Do not go on feeling bad. let him take your grief. let him take your burden. let Him heal your heart. and trust that He will heal others' heart. He will be there with arms wide open for you. ((:
