The Greatest Love That Anyone Could Ever Know
Thursday, June 24, 2010
Due to the religious and theological sensitivity of this post, I like to clarify that it has nothing to do with being religious like spreading any message or anything. It is just a personal revelation of mine I wish to journal into my history. Should any of these offend you, I ask that you do not take it to heart, and that you keep any negative comments to yourself. Your kind gesture is most appreciated.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One morning I woke up and was shocked to find my son lying on the floor. He was sweating heavily and was so weak he could not lift himself. "Dad, help me..." he cried out in a weak voice.At that point, all my fatherly instincts rushed into me as I reached out to his side."Daddy is here. Don't worry. Daddy will make sure everything is alright. Daddy will make sure you're ok."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A father's heart to a child. To rescue and protect his child when in danger, to offer the best fruits of every tree, to provide a safe haven for comfort and peace. The power of binding love between father and son.In a Christian walk, we always come across the phrase of God giving up His Son to die for us. For the reconciliation of men and God, and price had to be paid, either through our unworthy human deaths, or by the blood of Christ as payment for our sins.I somehow wondered after hearing a sermon...As Jesus hung on the cross by the nails pierced through His hands, helpless and dying, up in heaven, God being all almighty, had to restrain every bit of His fatherly instincts and love, and withhold the ability to send his angels to swoop down and save him. And to hear as Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” (Matt 27:46). I think that must have been the most excruciating piercing pain any heart could ever take, and I do believe, God's heart must have been torn to pieces having to see it happen. But for a love for us greater than any measure, deeper than the oceans, higher than the skies, wider than the horizons, He place His one begotten Son on the altar that men's bonds might be restored with God and we one day might be found in His presence, with no condemnation and saved by grace, we come freely before Him. To try to portray this in a more humanly context that in no way represents the true story but to signify the tremendous pain of a father's heart. Imagine if a father had to sent his son to die for the world, and even if he had all the power to stop it, must grit his teeth and tear his heart out at having to say, "You must, I'm sorry" as the child walks of the edge of a cliff. Having the powers to send angels, to do anything, he can only watch and hear as the cry of his son, calling out for him, turning softer and softer...I dunno, I just find it heart wrenching. Do you?

Overcoming the circumstances of the present, and the issues of my past,
striving in self-betterment with a moral balance with the hope of the fulfillment of the destiny to be a light for Christ in His likeness,
spreading the love of God as how He first loved us

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like You have loved me
Break my heart for what breaks Yours
Everything I am, for Your kingdom's cause
As I walk from earth into eternity

Philosophy:
I like to think about life, especially pursuing on the concept of love. Not that lovey dovey romantic kind, but the affections we have for one another
that ties us together,strangers, friends, besties, family, that's the love I wanna know about. Love is the essence of life that ties us together,
love is what we were made for and to be, love is embracing the gift of the relationship with GOD.
