RUTH

Attended Pastor Benny Ho's bible seminar the past two days and i have been majorly blessed.

God is the best writer, hands down. I am a sucker for small details when it comes to stories. A book or a drama that builds up the tiniest details and pulls them subtly altogether at the ending hits me at all the right places because it goes to show how much care the author poured into his/her work. I am so in awe with God right now. The amount of attention He gives to the smallest of details is breathtaking. The bible is so beautifully written, so intricately woven, so carefully laced together for us. It is not a half-hearted work. It is created with extreme precision - the kind of precision that is only possible when the artist exudes so much effort because he wants to craft the finest masterpiece that reflects his love for his beloved.

His love.

What can i say? What else can i say? What more can i say? I was once again reminded the great love that God has for us. It is not intangible. It is not an airy fairy concept. It is radical. It grips at your heart; it shakes your entire soul. It is to the point you find yourself asking, "Is this for real?" - you can scarcely believe the man standing in front of you. How? Why? What have you done do deserve such grace and mercy and kindness? Nothing. But that's just it. Jesus gives and he gives and he gives and he gives and he gives us so much more than we could ever imagine. Simply because He is love. Simply because He loves us. This love that opposes rationality, that defies all logic...

Are you not yet dumbfounded? Are you not yet speechless?

My heart is so, so, so full once again.
