    A Love Story 
     - author unknown

    One day, I woke early in the morning to watch the sunrise. Ah, the beauty of God's creation is beyond description. As I watched, I praised God for His beautiful work. As I sat there, I felt the Lord's presence with me.

     

    He asked me, "Do you love me?"

     

    I answered, "Of course, God! You are my Lord and Saviour!"

     
    Then He asked, "If you were physically handicapped, would you still love me?"

     

    I was perplexed. I looked down upon my arms, legs and the rest of my body and wondered how many things I wouldn't; be able to do, the things that I took for granted.

     

     
    And I answered, "It would be tough Lord, but I would still love You."

     

     
    Then the Lord said, "If you were blind, would you still love my creation?"

     

     
    How could I love something without being able to see it?  Then I thought of all the blind people in the world and how many of them still loved God and His creation.

     

     
    So I answered, "Its hard to think of it, but I would still love you."

     

     
    The Lord then asked me, "If you were deaf, would you still listen to my word?"

     
    How could I listen to anything being deaf? Then I understood. Listening to God's Word is not merely using our ears, but our hearts.  I answered, "It would be tough, but I would still listen to Your word."

     

     
    The Lord then asked, "If you were mute, would you still praise My Name?"

     

     
    How could I praise without a voice?

     

     
    Then it occurred to me: God wants us to sing from our very heart and soul. It never matters what we sound like. And praising God is not always with a song, but when we are  persecuted, we give God praise with our words of thanks.

     

     
    So I answered, "Though I could not physically sing, I would still praise Your Name."

     

     

    And the Lord asked, "Do you really love Me?"

     

     
    With courage and a strong conviction, I answered boldly, "Yes Lord! I love You because You are the one and true God!"

     

     
    I thought I had answered well, but... God asked, "THEN WHY DO YOU SIN?"

     

     
    I answered, "Because I am only human. I am not perfect."

     

     
    "THEN WHY IN TIMES OF PEACE DO YOU STRAY THE FURTHEST? WHY ONLY IN TIMES OF TROUBLE DO YOU PRAY THE EARNEST?"

     

     
    No answers. Only tears.

     

     
    The Lord continued: "Why only sing at fellowships and retreats? Why seek Me only in times of worship? Why ask things so  selfishly? Why ask things so unfaithfully?"

     

     
    The tears continued to roll down my cheeks.

     

     
    "Why are you ashamed of Me? Why are you not spreading the good news? Why in times of persecution, you cry to others when I offer My shoulder to cry on? Why make excuses when I give you opportunities to serve in My Name?"

     

     
    I tried to answer, but there was no answer to give.

     

     

    "You are blessed with life. I made you not to throw this gift away. I have blessed you with talents to serve Me, but you continue to turn away. I have revealed My Word to you, but you do not gain in knowledge. I  have spoken to you but your ears were closed. I have shown My blessings to you, but your eyes were turned away. I have sent you servants, but you sat idly by as they were pushed away. I have heard your prayers and I have answered them all."

     

     
    "DO YOU TRULY LOVE ME ?"

     
    I could not answer. How could I? I was embarrassed beyond belief. I had no excuse. What could I say to this? When I my heart had cried out and the tears had flowed, I said, "Please forgive me Lord. I am unworthy to be Your child."

     
    The Lord answered, "That is My Grace, My child."

     
    I asked, "Then why do you continue to forgive me? Why do You love me so?"

     
    The Lord answered, "Because you are My creation. You are my child. I will never abandon you. When you cry, I will have compassion and cry with you. When you shout with joy, I will laugh with you. When you are down, I will encourage you. When you fall, I will raise you up. When you are tired, I will carry you. I will be with you till the end of days, and I will love you forever."

     
    Never had I cried so hard before. How could I have been so cold? How could I have hurt God as I had done? I asked God, "How much do You love me?"

     
    The Lord stretched out His arms, and I saw His nail-pierced hands. I bowed down at the feet of Christ, my Saviour. And for the first time, I truly prayed

    Hi guys!

    Yesterday, our first prayer cell meeting in school(or just a normal cell meeting because we decided to make it a cell group instead of just prayer) commmenced. Well, there were only three of us(Tanya, Bliss and myself) there so it was pretty short. As the co-leader of the cell group, I suggested that we should each take turns to be the speaker of that session. We also added that we should meet an extra day(so now it'll be on Mondays and Thurdays every week). Oops! I just remembered that I have tuition this Thursday and Tanya cannot attend it too because of some appointment. I guess now I'll have to cancel this week's meeting and push my duty of speaking to next Monday.
    Today, I was supposed to have my usual Chinese tuition lessons but fortunately, due to an unfortunate incident, our power had to be cut off for about 45 mins. Not willing to wait that long as it'll be too late once my tuition lesson ends, my tuition teacher postponed my tuition lesson to this Thurday.(this explains the mix-up of the schedule for the cell group)   
    If you guys wanna hear interesting good lessons, which are good examples for Christians, relating to life, come and join us at our St. Margaret's Secondary School Sec. 2 Students' cell group (SMSS S2S cell)! Every mondays and Thursdays at 2pm...(for SMSS sec 2 students only!)
    *Note: This Thursday = No cell

    Hey everyone!!! Wow! It's gd to be back don't u think so too? Well, since i'm back, i've made some changes to my blog... Well... ok... only one... which is pretty obvious.... d *new! cool background!!! Ever since recently, i guess i've changed alot. Quite drastically in fact. Well... now, i'm more INTO God~!!! (which is a veri extremely gd thing!) So... it explains d so super cool background!!! Kk.... As a Christian, I'm to spread the word of the Lord! K. John 3:16 says "For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son(Jesus), so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life! Cool, huh? I mean... think abt it. At first, since we all have sin, we all are as good as dead 'coz we can't go to heaven... but since Jesus died for us, He paid the price of death for us so we can live! But of cos' we ourselves have to believe it... It's like... example : For instance we r slaves, ok... but one day, the government says we no longer have to be slaves. Yupee! But of cos' we ourselves have to believe that we're free and stop living as slaves becos' we no longer need to... Understand??? Ok... gd... If u don't nvm u can alwaes ask me...
     
    kk. next time i come back u can read more....
