Onward.

The Missions month is over. Now November is upon us.
The opening of the new satellite church is in less than 2 weeks' time.
Things are heating up in intensity. Preparations to be made.

Pray for us. Our worship team is stretched to its seams.
We are experiencing the birth pangs of a ministry.
Will we stand the tests of time, or will we be rebuked by our Lord?

The church is a living breathing extension of God on earth.
We are His ambassadors, and I hope I'm up to the calling I've been given.
I want to write today about... love.

Yes, again.
And no, I promise you there will not be the same emo posts as before.
What is love? Love to me is incomprehensible.

For God is love. And if we cannot hope to comprehend the infinite God
How then can we ever fully understand the concept of Love?
Perfect love drives out fear, and why is that?

Perfect love is selfless. And fear is born of selfishness.
We are afraid of being harmed, but out of love,
A mother will endanger her own life to preserve the life of her child's.

And yet that is not perfect love. Not yet.
Perfect love is this : God who didn't need to die for us, did.
The unnecessary sacrifice. Why us?

Sure, we were flawed. We were wrong.
Not from the start, we were made in perfection.
But we fell, and in our temptation we have condemned ourselves.

He should've started over. Wipe us out. Begin anew.
But He didn't. He couldn't. It was against His nature.
Because His nature is Love. And perfect love never gives up.

Even in His judgement, He saved a remnant.
There always were survivors, because out of Love
He could not fully destroy His beloved.

Ah, now you may think to yourselves.
This is blasphemy. God is all-Powerful, all-Knowing.
How can I dictate what God could or couldn't do.

True, I would never deign to limit a limitless God.
But in His love, His character is based on Love,
And whatever He does, it is Love.
