God loves the Impossible

hey friends!

 i guess when many of us see the words "God" and "impossible" in the same sentence we will probably have something cooked up at the back of our minds on how the article is gonna be about God overcoming epic circumstances in someone's life..



Well, it's true that God is above all things and that He is greater and bigger than every impossibility in our lives. more importantly we know that He is able. *Mark  10 :27*





Today, i'm gonna be bloggin' about somethin' a little different. haha! today i'm gonna seize this opportunity to share on a different perspective on how "God love the impossible".



Credits first and foremost to God Who awesomely used a darling friend of mine to share this with me during youth camp! (that's right Debbie. i'm talking about you! =D)




okay..so let's begin! Jesus said in Mark 10:27 on how with man, it is impossible but with God, all things are possible. and once again, adverse circumstances comes to mind. God used this special friend of mine to change my normal perspectives on the word "impossible". Instead of using it to refer to something difficult we're going through, try using it to refer to someone you find practically IMPOSSIBLE to love.





I can't help but to bounce back on the Gospel on this one. Maybe it was God's way of fully explaining this to me.



So in the Gospel, it tells us of how God gave His one and only son, Jesus to die for our sins on the cross. as human beings, we are creatures of habit. we tend to point fingers when we do something wrong or think about how awful other people's sins are just to make ourselves feel better and somewhat "cleaner" before God. i know. i'm guilty of this as well. i used to despise prostitutes, porn-stars, mistresses and so on. i used to harbor deep hatred for them and every time i hear about them an instant urge to point a gun just runs through my spine. this shows what a failure i am at loving people.


But praise be to God that He made me realize that i'm no better myself.  friends, remember that we are all being judged by God's standards and not ours. no matter how we try to make ourselves presentable before God, we'll never make it to heaven on our own. we may think that if we don't smoke, kill or sleep around or any of those stuff we will earn our righteousness before God. the bible tells us that our righteousness are like filthy rags before Him. the bible also tells us how ALL of us have sinned and fallen short of  the glory of God (Rom 3:23).



this might sound crazy..but the more worthless and unworthy i feel..the more i can see God as Who He really is. a loving and forgiving God. this brings us to the concept of forgiveness. a wise man of God once said forgiveness is defined as unmerited grace. forgiveness is not earned nor is it deserved in anyway by the debtor. the truth is..we couldn't do any better if we tried. God loved us even when we were at our worst. thus, there's nothing you can do to make Him love you more.. sometimes, i ask Him.."and you still love me even after all that?".


am i making sense now? we represented the impossible. what was impossible before God has made possible  by sending Jesus to die for our sins and taking our place that we may be made presentable before God. 


so friends. the next time you tell someone "ugh! you're just impossible", think about how God loved you when you were impossible and at your worst. the other day, my friend told me something i never expected to hear and she was afraid that my perspective on her as a friend and as a human being would change. but praise be to God that He placed something in me to tell her this: "listen, what you said the other day doesn't change what i think about you and it doesn't alter the fact that i love you. as a matter of fact, i love you even more and if there's anything i could do to help you through this..". God commands us to love and he even gave us perfect, self-explanatory descriptions on what love is..*1 Cor 13:4*. Our Heavenly Father is in the business of loving and forgiving unconditionally and He expects His children to do the same.
