refreshing! (:
church is indeed refreshing every week! i learn new things and most importantly draw closer to God! heh. Last sunday was Father's Day. to daddy:
I LOVE YOU! (: but i know he wouldnt be seeing this here lah.
anyways the sermon on sunday was talking about how we subconsiously relate our earthly fathers to our heavenly father up there. and i think it is so true. to me, i know my dad loves me alot. and he's strict with me when i'm naughty, punish me when i do something wrong, dotes me when i'm a good girl, give me things that i like. but at the end of the day, i know he'll always be here for me, no matter what. yea. that is how i have always been seeing God as in my life. one who loves me, punish me when i'm wrong and dotes me when i'm good. but i realised as i grew up that God's description of Fatherly love doesnt just stop there. it just goes on and on that words can no longer describe.
The guest speaker, Pastor Tan Song Poh, did share with us a very touching topic of God's Love (Father's Love). He was telling us that God gave us the greatest give:
LOVE. and if we dont understand this, what God done at Calvary would be wasted and our Christian Life would be wasted. Thus, we should understand the length, width, height and depth of God's Love. and when God put us through suffering, it doesnt mean that God forsake us or forgotten about us. but instead, suffering is a necessary part of our life. It brings healing and draws us back to God. (i can testify that! :]) many of us have problems in our life. we get hurt, get beaten. cuz we have not fully experienced the fullness of God's Love. (so what are you waiting for? GO PRAY AND ASK GOD TO REVEAL IT TO YOU! heh.)
anyways Pastor Tan Song Poh was also futher sharing on the different fathers of different familes. and how important the role of a father is to a family. a father not only brings home money and protect the family. but it actually affects the children. fathers are always looked upon as a statue of discipline. and it is true. children need that someone to help, discipline and guide. children that comes from broken families tend to fill rejected, unwanted..etc. and when one is rejected, there is a love vaccum. it can only be filled by the Father, but we tend to look for other things to fill it. even to the extend of trying to buy love. and i think that this is also a reminder to all of us. have we been forsaking people from broken families? when they needed help, instead of helping we reject them?
At the end of the day, we cannot forget about God. God the Father is a Father to the fatherless. we all should trust God that he is our Father(regardless if your earthly father is still around or not!). that he sent his son, Jesus, to die on the cross so that we may call him our Father directly and not our God only. we can find love, security..etc in Him. (: our Father in heaven is always there, waiting patiently for us to just reach out to him and call him "
Abba" (it means Father). He doesnt need you to put alot of effort to reach out to him. all He wants and need is for you to take the first initiative. so, speak to God, alone and poor out everything to Him. most importantly, BE STILL! so that you will to sensitive to Him. (:
