Indescribable Love

I intend to write this entry in Chinese and in my former blog site, but I failed. So I have to come back...

Last week I was under the weather for some reasons. One day I got a call from Jennifer and she asked what happened to me (!!). I was completely astonished because she should know nothing as we haven't contacted around that time. Then I realized that it was Wayne who asked her about me! (Very indirect!) Nevertheless, I was (and still, am) very touched by their kindness and care. Wayne is a really nice supervisor. I didn't expect him to be so observant and caring. And Jennifer is very kind too. Why all these people are so good to me? Have I, by mistake, entered the heaven? :p

OK, a bit exagerrating, but I'm indeed moved by their love.

And then it makes me think: Oh if a word of kindness can encourage people like this, why are we so often indifferent to God's love? (Well, in this case I am referring to Christians, instead of anyone else) Is it because we get so used to it that we thought we deserve? While I give thanks to God for everything He granted me, I wonder if I do it habitually. In fact, if I think Wayne doesn't have to be that caring, then God doesn't have to be that loving too. (What a comparison! Haha...) What I want to say is, don't take it for granted. That's all. :p

Recently I am reading a book called The Bible Jesus Read and one part enlightened (haha, this is such a funny word to use!) me:

"If we had only the Gospels, we would envision a God who seems confined, all-too-huan, and rather weak... The book of Revelation gives a different glimpse of Jesus...and the Old Testament likewise falls in a different portrayal of God. Like Jesus' original disciples, we need that background picture in order to appreciate how much love the Incarnation expressed - how much God gave up on our behalf." (pp. 26-27)
