God's last move
Today's Good Friday! I went to church today for the Good Friday service, and the speaker was talking about how on this fateful Friday around 2000 years ago, Jesus bore ALL our sins on the cross. However, he mentioned that although the situation looked quite hopeless, it was only Friday, and Sunday was coming, the day when God would make his last move. While I agree with what he said, the thing that really struck me was that, in some way, God also had a "last move" in my life.
As I was listening to the speaker talking about God's last move, my mind flashed back to the time around April-May 2005. It was a time when the loneliness I was feeling in church had built up to a point where I wanted to leave church and I just felt like giving up on everything. I really felt like I was in a valley of deep darkness and hopelessness. At that point, I think nobody could anything to help me already. However, God had one last move, and like I mentioned in my testimony, I never expected how God's last move would change my life forever. I was just revisiting that period of time this morning, and the fact that I just had my baptism last Sunday makes it more striking. Isn't it amazing that I could go from that point to the point where I decided to get baptised? If God isn't real then I got nothing to say...
Speaking of my baptism, it's still fresh in my mind, both the baptism itself and my testimony (too bad I had to use a shortened of my original testimony as my baptism testimony). Thinking back to those special touching moments really shows me how REAL God's love is, esp in the way it has manifested in my life. I really thank God for touching my life in such a special way (though I have no idea why He didn't do the same for others, I guess He has His own way of doing things) Even today, Good Friday, is also a reminder of God's love. Because of His love for us, Jesus WILLINGLY bore our sins and the pain and humiliation of the cross. Where can we ever find someone like that??
God's love is AMAZING!! :D
