The absence of joy in myself did not last long :)
My Sunday did not have a good start, but as I entered the church sanctuary, slowly but sure my anxiety was calmed. I sat down to pray; all I could say was, "God, please pour out Your love, teach me how to love unconditionally like how You love this imperfect child of Yours. I came here today to worship You, so please help me to forget all the grudges. " Then, I stood up and began to worship. God answer my prayers in all kinds of ways; one of them is from songs. Yes! That Sunday, we sang a song titled "Forever Reign". A part of the lyrics struck me so deeply where it says, "the riches of your love will always be enough." God reminded me of how wide His love is that it covers all the pain, anxiety, and sadness I felt. He's not done yet with me; He then put back a verse into my head, the verse I read in my morning devotional book.
"Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace." ~Ephesians 4 : 2-3
My lips stuttered, my heart's overwhelmed, my eyes drop couple of teardrops instantly, in the quietness of my mind, I could only whisper "thank You, thank You, thank You..." over and over again. What else could I have said?
I wish there's a word to describe God's love, but there isn't. It's just too much for me; more than I could ever wanted. How could you refuse to receive such LOVE?
