A lesson of love

I have been learning about love and talking about how real love is giving and not expecting anything in return. Talk is cheap and easy until I was tested. Quite some time ago at Ang Mo Kio (Singapore), I met this middle-aged man who asked me for money. I was rushing and didn't really have much cash to spare. So, I thought I would just say, "I am sorry" and move along. Thoughts like that swept through my mind: 'I didn't even know this guy.' 'Can't he just go find some work? He has legs and hands to work.. maybe he is just lazy.' HOWEVER, something in my heart stopped me. I knew this guy didn't really deserve my money but then I did something I never really expected. I actually pulled out some cash and passed it to him. The desire to give just came to me and I knew that wasn't me. I looked up, smiled and thank Him for the privilege to share love. I knew it was because of the love I have received from Jesus that allowed me to do it willingly. Don't know what you are thinking but I can't believe myself. Then I saw it - That is exactly what Jesus did for me. I have done so many shameful, unlovable things that I want no one to know about. But in spite all that, He valued me so much that He gave His life that I can be saved and restored to a loving relationship with Him. Think about it. Don't we all need a Savior and a friend who loves us to the end? Believers, maybe try to do something sweet for someone who can't repay you today. I am sure He could be reminding you of someone right now. Stop, pray and make plans to do it. And remember that is what Jesus did for u and thank Him for the opportunity u have to show His love. For those of you looking for the kind of love that accepts you just the way you are, you need to look no more. If you are willing, give your life to Jesus today!
