A story

They rhema conference that my church organised was real good so far! especially the night time rally...
My friends kai yuan and xin ying cannot make it for today's one...and today's message was very touching!
14 people got saved!! praise the lord!
But, i can't help feeling sad...cause my none of the friends that i wanna save, are saved...=(
anw, i just wanna tell you this story that pastor lip yong talked about today!

there was this boy...
He was holding a cage with three birds...
A man walked over and said, "what cute birds you have!"
The boy said, "yah! i love them alot! i am going to pluck out their feathers one by one and poke them..."
the man said, "huh? then what are you going to do to them after that?"
the boy said, "oh! after that, i am going to kill them and feed it to my cat!"
the man felt pity for the bird and his heart soften...
he said, "how much for these birds?"
the boy said, "ai ya! you won't want these birds one la...there are so many in the park! you can go catch some for yourselves!"
the man said," no, how much are these birds?"
the boy thought to himself, "wah, this is a good opportunity to earn some profits!"
the boy said, "er, 10 dollars for these three birds!"
the man took out his wallet and passed him the 10 dollars...
the man brought the cage to the park, open the doors, tap the cage and set them free...

There is Satan and God...
Satan holds a cage and inside this cage were people...
God asks satan," hey! what are you going to do with these?"
Santan says," oh! i am going to let them fight amongst themselves, hate each other, torture them..oh..it is so fun! i am going to give them alcohol, cigerattes, drugs to make them feel terrible and helpless..i am going to have so much fun with them!"
God says," then what are you going to do after that?"
Santan said," oh! after that, i am going to kill them and throw them into fire!"
God felt really heartbroken for the people....
He said,"how much for these people?"
Satan said," ai ya! you wouldn't want them one...they will betray you, hit you, insult you and not appreciate what you are going to do for them!"
God said," no, how much?"
Satan thought, 'wah, this is a good opportunity to get back at God!'
Satan said," ok! if you want them, you will have to pay using your blood!"
God said, "ok, deal"

I think this story is really touching because through all these rhema stuff, i realise how great God is...
He created so many solar systems and ours is only one of them...he created the whole universe!
He created all the animals, insects, plants, sea and so many so many...
He created the earth which is the only planet able to support life..
I think we are very previllaged to be his people..
Cause it is like He is God! and He is perfect and so powerful!
He don't even need us to do what he wants to do!
We are useless to him...and uncomparable..cause we are so imperfect...we sin...
Sometimes, we even forgot about him and not believe in him...
But he loves us so so much that he is willing to take down his crown and step down from his throne to die for our sins!

Imagine God! willing to die for people! What a huge sacrifice! just because he loves us unholy people..

He is our maker...he makes us from dust...

I ask you, if you make something, wouldn't you want that thing to honour you to worship you and love you?
It is the same!
However, God came down as Jesus and get insulted by us, hit and stonned by us, scolded by us
when he is the one that made us!
Don't you think God's love is so so great and amazing?!
So shouldn't you love him back?

As the song goes...."the greatest love that anyone could ever know, that overcame the cross and grave to find my soul..."

I love him, cause he sacrificed so much because he loves me...shouldn't you do so too?

God loves you alot!!
