Has anyone heard someone saying excitedly, "God is great! I love Him too much!" ? Or perhaps we have said it before.
Today I went to my paternal grandmother's house
She had told me that her relative didn't like her going to Church when she was young. So I asked her, "What about now?". Surely there wouldn't be be anyone there to stop her anymore, I thought. She asked with a smile, whether I was thining of inviting her. Of course I said yes. Then she replied, telling me that she couldn't possibly go to Church every week- it was a matter of tiredness and her difficulty of walking, and the need for a Hokkien service to understand. She also said that quite a nunber of her friends were going to Church too.
Then surprisingly naturally, I went on sharing with her about my relationship with God for the first time! I told her about how God was always looking after me..
prompting me to pray for someone who finally found her lost bag, which was very important..
how I wasn't nervous for my O level results because I know that He is in control and has a purpose for me wherever I go.. how I wanted her to feel the happiness too, that someone us there to take care if us and He loves us more than anything. Then she looked at me with a slight smile and said, "I will go with you soon."
I said all these in mandarin, a language I don't use to share about God! Indeed, it is by the grace of God. Indeed, when we share about God, our tongue will move in His will.
A few hours later, I went back to my aunt's room feeling really thankful. Thoughts like "I can't thank You enough, Lord!" and "You've done so much for me!" came to my mind and soon, this thought: "I love You too much, God!" But I quickly put it away. Instead, I said to the Lord, "I love You so much!".
Other than the testimony, here's something else I wanna share:
There's no such thing as 'loving God too much' simply because we cannot out-love God! We can never love God enough because His love is ever so boundless and has no limitations.
Isn't this beautiful and wonderful to know? There're no boundaries to how much we can love God, how much we can do for Him and how much we can obey Him!
This blog I created to glorify the King of Kings! Even as the Bible says that we should encourage and build each other up, this blog is also for this use:) Lets war on together for JESUS!!!

Love
1 John 3: 18
"Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth."
God wants us to love with actions and in truth. Whether it is towards God's people, our family or even those who do not know God, He wants us to show love with action and in truth. If we were to write a card or tell our family how much we love them, He would rather we love them with action and in truth.
To love with action is to do acts of service unto the people we love, which is every person on this earth- the saved and the unsaved- because God loves us All.
To buy breakfast for my family.
To help with the housework.
To pray with them.
To talk to anyone who looks lonely in school.
To buy something for them if they can't go and eat...
To love in truth is to love in a Godly way by following how the Bible defines love! To love Your people the way You love us! Some verses to always remember are: 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, 1 John 3:18.
