On this Valentine's Day, I want to share something I learned and discovered about Love. I've seen several stories of love, reading fiction novels and heard tales of true love. Everyone knows that falling in love is natural and anyone could fall in love, but there is an intriguing question that has made me think hard, "Did Jesus In Love?"
Have any of you ever think of that? This may sound funny but if you find the answer, I promise you'll find the greatest love story ever written in history.
Long enough that I keep the question in my mind. I wanted to ask my mentor, but I am afraid that it would sounds ridiculous and I’ll be ridiculed, hehe . I finally decided to ask directly to the Person. Yes, I asked Jesus, as I usually do.
"Jesus, have you ever been in love?" You know what His answer is? "YES!"
Haha, wow! My God ever fall in love!
Having a surprising answer, I intrigued to ask again, "Jesus, have you ever feel a broken heart?" Once again He answered "YES." Man I just shook my head.
I became more and more curious to ask, "Have you been rejected by your loved one?" Again and again He said, "YES"
One last question which was my ultimate question, and I'm sure if you were there when this conversation took place, you would be asking the same thing. Yes, I asked him, "Who is that woman's name?"
The answer I finally got really opened up my eyes to see the real true love story and know who the real True Lover is. When I asked the question about the woman's name, Jesus replied, "The woman's name is Church!"
Yes, the name of the woman is Church! The woman who once was stuck at the heart of Jesus and will always be in His heart. The woman who hurt him, the woman who more than once rejected His love. But do you know what Jesus said about the woman?
"I still love her, and will always love her. She was on My mind as I died. "
Jesus then said, "Humans have a variety of ways to express their love for the beloved. Some give flower, some will write poem, some use a song, but I , I even gave My own life to the woman I loved, but still I was rejected."
"I was hurt, I was rejected, I felt a deep pain." "If only she knew how big the price I had to pay just to prove how much I love her, but I know, true love will never insist."
Friends, you probably have a long time bitterness toward the people you love, maybe you’ve been hurt, you may feel rejected.
Maybe you've lost your faith to all people, you may feel no one even Jesus understand what you’re going through.
But this is what Jesus wants to say to you:
"I KNOW WHAT YOU’RE GOING THROUGH. I HAVE BEEN THERE! "I know how it feels to love, I know how it feels to be hurt, and I also know how it feels to be rejected. I really understand because I've been there!"
Friends, I don’t know what you’re going through, but He does. Because He is a well experienced Lover.
Now what do you think, what is the greatest love story in history? Ever since that conversation, I finally realized, the real true love story is not the love story of Romeo and Juliet, is not a love story of Jack and Rose in Titanic, nor Beauty and the Beast, but the love story of Jesus and the Church. That is the greatest love story ever in history.
To end this article I want to give a piece of love letter written by Jesus to the woman whom He loves so much. Church, if you are there, this letter is for you.
" Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you.
Till the time you grow old I am still Him, and until the white hair I carry you. I've done and want to take you on; I want to take you and save you.
See, I have engraved you on the palms of My hands; your walls remain in the room of my eyes.
Because even mountains move and the hills sway, but My true love will not depart from you and My covenant of peace will not be swayed. "
With Love,
Jesus
Hopefully my short writing bless you.
