One day early in the morning, I got to watch the sunrise .
OH, 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.
Then He asked, "Do you love me?"
I answered, "Of course, God!
You are my Lord and Savior!"
Then I asked, "If you were physically handicapped, would you still love me?"
I was shocked, I looked, I remained some minutes in silence.
And I answered, "It would be difficult, Lord, but still I would love"
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 blind people who still love God and His creation.
So I said, "It's hard to think, but still love you."
The Lord then asked, "If you were deaf, would hear my word?".
How could I listen to anything being deaf? Then I understood.
Play the Word of God is not merely using our ears, but our hearts.
replied, "It would be difficult, but still hear your Word."
The Lord then asked, "If you were mute, would you still praise My Name?".
But how I can praise without a voice! Then I thought that God wants us to sing from our heart. 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 deep conviction, I said,
"Yes Lord I love you because you are the one true God!"
I thought I had answered well, but God asked, "Then why do you sin?"
replied, "Because I am only human and I'm not perfect!"
"THEN WHY IN TIMES OF PEACE you stray the furthest?
WHY ONLY IN TIMES OF TROUBLE SINCERELY PRAY?"
No answer. Only tears.
The Lord continued, "Why only sing at church? Why seek Me only in times of need? Why ask things so selfish? Po "without faith do you ask?"
Tears continued to roll down my cheeks.
"Why are you ashamed of me? Why not spreading the good news? Why hard times, you cry to others when I offer my shoulder to do it? Why make excuses when I give you the opportunity to serve in My Name? "
tried to answer, but no answer to give.
" You are blessed with life. Did you not to waste this gift. I have blessed you with talents to serve, but you continue back to me. I have revealed my word, but do not get the knowledge of it. You
I have spoken, but your ears were closed. I have shown my blessings, but your eyes were turned away. I have sent you servants, but sat idly by while they were rejected. I have heard your prayers and I answered them all. "
" Do you really love me? "
could not answer. How could I? Was embarrassed beyond belief. I had no excuse. What could I say?
When my heart had cried and the tears had flowed, I said "Please forgive me Lord! I am unworthy to be your son! "
The Lord replied," That is My Grace, My Son "
" So why continue to forgive? Why do you love me? "
The Lord replied,
" Because you are my creation. You are my son.
never leave you.
When you cry, have compassion and cry with you.
When you are joyous, I rejoice with you.
When you're down, I will encourage you.
When you fall, you rise.
When you feel tired, I'll carry on my shoulders.
I'll be with you till the end of days, and I'll love you forever. "
cried like never before then. How could I be so cold! How could I have hurt God as I did! I asked God, "How much you love me?"
The Lord in his arms, and watched his love, his grace and his mercy.
Then, when they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these? Peter said: Yes, Lord, you know I love you. Jesus said unto him, Feed my lambs.
And he said to him second time, Simon, son of John, do you love me? Peter said: Yes, Lord, you know I love you. Jesus said my sheep.
He said for the third time, Simon, son of John, do you want? Peter was grieved because the third He once said: You want me? And he said: Lord, you know everything, you know I love you. Jesus said "Feed my sheep. John 21:15-17 God bless
