God loves FOREVER!

Hey ppl!! yesterday and today i went for church and i sang the song, "Forever"
I didn't really like the song..dunno why..and ths caused me to focus on it even more today..
the song has a line that is repeated over and over again..."His love endures forever.."
Today, i wanna focus on the word "forever"

How many of you have experienced and know that people around you who loves you are willing to die for you?
And i mean really die for you?
Or, are you willing to die for someone?
I think for me personally, it is a very tough and difficult decision to make..and one must really really LOVE that person before he/she can die for him/her.
And this LOVE have to exceed and go beyond the LOVE for oneself..which goes against the selfish human nature.

Things change, people change, scenery change, your environment change...etc.
They grow and die as the day passes..
Nothing is everlasting, don't you think?
There is nothing on this earth that lasts forever and is stagnant.

As i was singing that song, i really appreciated God alot...
Like, He is the only one who doesn't change, who is everlasting, who provides promises and never fails.
Don't you think it is amazing cause He can go against all the nature of change?

I was reminded of economics..and there was one chapter about exchange rate..
If one country's currency keep fluctuating throughout the year, up and down, it will create the problem of uncertainty and it inturn affects the amount of investments that are going to come in..be it long term or short term.
This is because the investors will be very scared and cannot trust that the country can make funds because of its instability..

Same for relationships..
If your friend keep on changing in character like throughout the year or in a few years, do you think your friendship can still withstand and be maintained?

Thats why i hold trust and faith in something that is never changing and can last forever, because it is firm and stable..
And that is Jesus Christ.
Besides, He loves us so so much, more than Himself as a God that He is willing to suffer and die just for you and I. Because God thinks that we deserve it.
Bet you all heard this like many many thousand times already..But i still wanna emphasize on the fact that He died for you, shouldn't you love Him back the same way?

I mean, if someone, anyone, is willing to die just for you, won't you get touched?
This is sacrificial love.
And what i found out was, Jesus is the only God that is willing to do so just to save us..

There was another thought that i had while i was listening to the sermon for the second time..
Joel was preaching and he talked about facebook...he said something like "if you are transformed from the inside, it will show it on the outside..", "out of the outflow of your heart, your mouth speaks." and "when is the last time you ever talked about God or even mentioned his name? what was your last update on facebook?"

I was reminded of something and i really want to ask you all this..
Do you pass by something, anything whether it is a shop, an item..etc, with the word "Jesus christ / God" on it and not feel anything?
Do you feel anything at all?
What i mean is, do you feel a sense of excitment and it really attracts you to go and look at it closer, even more..
Or will you just not feel anything but just walk past without bothering to look at it...

This shows how much you really love God and how much He really means to you and where you placed Him in your life..
Are you taking God for granted...thinking that He is just there for me to call when i need help and He will help..
Reflect upon this.

It is never too late to pray for a transformation to happen in your life today!
God will be more than happy to change you from the inside out.
Just remember two simple things you must do..
START PRAYING + BELIEVE..
If you don't start you never will..
If you don't believe then there is no point of praying.

GOD LOVES YOU ESPECIALLY!!
