Imperfections + Love

Many people convey their love message to others in someway or another...
You may or may not like the type of love that the person may shower you with,
But, they are still love..

Be it friends or family, cousins, uncles or aunties, grandma or grandpas,
They each have their own unique way to show us that they actually cares and loves us..

The reason why i am writing this is because i was reminded of my mother's love for me..
I was walking on the way home today when joseph in the midst of one of his sms, he said, "your mum is going to nag at you again.."
Because my curfew was at 11 and i only reach home at 11.20...
I started to imagine what will happen when i go home..
How my mum will just shout at me and nag, asking questions like "why you come home so late?!" in a very angry and irritated manner...
Usually my respond will be..."haiz..here she goes again..then i will pray and ask God to help me before i enter the house."
however, this time, instead of having fear and panick, i realised that she actually loves me alot.
The way she convey her concern and love for me is to reprimand me..
She actually bothers to scold me because she actually cares whether i go home annot..she actually waits and anticipates for me to go home...
She actually wants to know why...

As i was saying, different people convey their love in others ways..
My father gives me the things that i asks for,
my bro just want to irritate me,
my sis just want to offer me her listening ear and share with me things in her life regardless of whether i am listening annot..
Small little things that friends and family do to you and me,
i may not like it and find it a nuisance...but it is their own unique way of showing love, care and concern for me..
I started to think about if all these were gone and taken away from me one day, i think i will miss them...

It also shows God's love for us..
His love is conveyed to different people in a different way...their own special and unique way..
We may not like it..but it is his way of loving us..
An example is when God allowed and place trials in your life, whereby you face a moment or even moments of weaknesses, you may blame God and get angry and irritated with him..
However, if you look at it another way, God loves you thats why he wants to have a more intimate and closer relationship with you..
He loves you thats why trails come in your way so that you can learn to seek and yearn for Him..
Problems come so that you can learn to rely and surrender it all to Him..
He wants you to grow spiritually..
He wants you to grow deeper in relationship with Him..
Alot of times we are blinded by anger and we cannot see what He has planned for us..we cannot see what is ahead...
We learn to come out of that by trusting, having faith and growing in His word, holding on to His never-changing promises...

There is this advertisement on tv that has repeated alot of times...
There is this women and her husband died...
During the funeral, she gave a speech..
Instead of saying all the achievements of her husband or all the good stuff that he did,
She said the bad habits of her husband..
she say her husband snores like a motorbike trying to start the engine..
he husband farts so loud and smelly when he is asleep that he will get woken up by the sound himself...and when he wakes up, he asks his wife," what was that? what happen?"
She will say.."oh, it was the dog barking...go to sleep"
Now, when he died, no longer could she hear those sounds...and she misses them...
she said, "It was because of all these little imperfections, that made their relationship and lives perfect."

It is the same as God and us...
Even though we are sinners with several imperfections while God is perfect, God still loves us the same..
and it is because of all these imperfections that God sent down Jesus christ, His one and only son to die on the cross for us, to convey his sacrificial love..
It was only then when the veil tore and we were made whole, restoring the perfect relationship that we had with God before..
"It was because of all these imperfections that our relationship is made perfect."
Think about it.

Learn to treasure the small little things that people around you does for you..don wait until they are gone..

God loves you always^^
