woke up this morning to a BEAUTIFUL and CLEAR BLUE sky! It's so rare to see it. And it's awesome! The bright light shinning down on the trees on the hill in front of me, the birds flying around gracefully, the clear cloudless sky...wonderful! And I just breathed a word of THANKS to God. Really thank God for giving me such a nice weather early in the morning. Wonderful! I wish the weather on Monday morning to noon will be as such...no rain, clear... Yesterday, during BSF, the speaker, Kelvin, referred to the giving of gold to baby Jesus. And he inferred and mentioned this phrase: He who loves much gives much. How true this phrase is! Gold isn't cheap at that time. And for the Magi to give gold to the King of Jews must have really been something. And how true the phrase applies to our Trinity God! That He loves us SO much to sent His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross to provide a way...so our sins can be forgiven and so we can be reconciled to God. He loves us very much..so much till He gives us His Son up for sufferings, rejected by man, antagonism, death on the cross and then, raised Him up again 3 days later. What a loving God we have! And a challenge to us is how much do we love God that we also give of our money for tithing and time to spend with God in prayer and Quiet Time. And this phrase also reminds me of him. of how much he would give up his sleep just to keep me company late at night, how much he would spend both money and time to send me home, how much he would be there hearing me out rather than being anywhere else. And for that, I'm really grateful...really thankful. Thanks! --------------------------------- |
