"When Jesus Falls In Love"

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.

Love from Timor, Indonesia
Your brother in Christ,

When God Speaks

As I knew this secret, I started to realize what a power God has blessed us with. The whole universe, the whole galaxy was made from nothing to something.
God spoke and His words turned to all created things. There was no light but God said "Let there be light!" and there was light.
The light was made by and of His word. His word always turn to what is spoken.
I don't know what you're going through but you have His word with you and as you speak forth His word, you'll see whats going to happen.

Be blessed.

Getzemane (The fate of the mankind)

And Jesus prayed : "Father if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; not My will but Yours be done."

Jesus faced a hard decision at that moment since He was dealing with many people's life.

His decision will set the future of our lives.

Can you imagine what your life would turn out to if Jesus stopped at the first sentence?

Since He gave up His will that the salvation may be yours and mine!

BE THANKFUL.

The art of being a vessel

New Revelation.
Have you felt like God was about to give/gave you the desire of your heart when suddenly He took it all back and then you see He did it for the good of somebody else? Or He allowed you to be broken just to help one soul?
I've gone through it, I asked Him why n He answered : "It is the potter who decides the use of a vessel, whether to carry water, oil or wine. A vessel must ready to carry a burden before somebody could drink from it."
We are the vessel n God is the Potter.

Bless you.

I AM IN THE SAME BOAT!

Have you ever feel despair, hopeless,broken heart,failure and disapointment?
I wanna share something with you.

On march last year I applied for Youth Exchange and I got accepted in SSEAYP (Ship for Southeast Asian Youth Program), a leadership training for Japan and Southeast Asian Youth.
After got the call from local committee I was asked to prepare everything needed for the program. Nevertheless, since there was no official letter from the central government about the program that I was supposed to join, I was told to wait till they get further information. So I waited and waited. The ex-participant of the program from the previous year helped me to get the contacts of some other participants of the year so that we could share information. I tried to get all the documents ready, did net conference with other participants to get the updates of the program. I did my best for the preparation as it is my childhood dream to be able to join exchange.
It turned out a disapointment however.
Been waited for a couple months without further information from the local committee,I started to doubt about my departure and so I decided to contact the committee at the central government to ask about my departure but the answer I got was so shocking and disapointing, "Sorry, there's no quota for your province this year. Aren't you informed already? Just pray, if you are lucky then maybe next year"

I put my phone down and said "thanks Jesus, you still have everything under control" eventhough deep inside my heart I felt great disapointment. I knew God must have another plan for me by allowing me to pass the test.
I was ssoooo disapointed back then, but suddenly God spoke to me through a friend in Texas, saying : The wind might be strong, the wave might strike you down, but don't be discouraged
"I AM IN THE SAME BOAT WITH YOU"

I remembered the story of Jesus and the disciples when Jesus calmed the hurricane. He said "where's your faith???"

I stood up and decided to not to feel bad coz I know God must have another plan. I chose to believe in His plan.

Even if they said I wasn't going back then, but I felt God spoke in my heart very clearly "I open the door that nobody can shut!"
I was compelled to prepare all the documents, I knew it was the Holy Spirit speaking in my heart. I didn't lose hope. The voice kept speaking in my heart "when God says you're going, men can't say you're staying". So I just waited for what God wanted to do. It wasn't easy though, waited for around 5 months with no information at all. My faith was really tested to trust God's promise even when the situation show the other way around. But you know what, after done the ministry with a team from America, I got a call from Jakarta said "Jack, you're going"
Wwoooaahh!!! What a surprise.
Long story short, I joined the program which later I knew is the most expensive exchange program in Asia. What a blessing!

See, God is good. I really learned a lot. Sometimes when things go wrong and when the situations are so overwhelming, we are so easily discouraged, not knowing that Jesus is right there with us. Yes, HE IS IN THE SAME BOAT!


Glory to the King,

Bless you all, JACK LOLOIN.
