God’s love is most often a true mystery to us. If we just think about the sacrifice He made for us through Jesus, I am sure we will all agree it is a love beyond our understanding. He does not need us to always understand His love but merely to receive it. Now, we look at things with a limited understanding, but a day will come when we will see things from God’s perspective and it will all make sense to us. All we can do for now is to walk with a continuous grateful heart for His love for us.

Through God’s help, we can love Him back the way He wants to be loved, but it is not something we can do by our own efforts. We choose to let Him flow His love through us as we are His instruments of love to a broken world. By sharing His love with the world, we allow them to experience a touch of His awesomeness. Are you willing to love Him and be His instrument of love?

Today I will be sharing a short story titled “The Love that never leaves you”, which I wrote on how God’s love never leaves us, even when the opposite seems true when we look at our circumstances. The truth will always be that God loves us and never leaves us. It is now for us to become aware of His love, receive it and allow Him to operate it through our lives—we are guaranteed an enriched life in Christ’s love.

The Love that never leaves you

“Grandpa, why do you have to leave me now? Where is God in all of this?”

“My dear child, do not let your heart be troubled, I am not alone because God is here with me. But let me tell you something.

When I was growing up, I have made many mistakes—I chose the wrong friends and I did things I am not proud of, all of it to impress my friends so that they would like me. But when they left, do you know Who stuck by me and never left me? Who was the one that got me back on track?”

“Who grandpa?”

“God did. But that is not all. Even when I got older when I started running our farm, I often treated people bad, even grandma. I sometimes said hurtful things and when I thought about it afterwards, I wished I could take back my words, but I couldn’t. I often felt bad about the things I did, but you know Who held my hand and showed me what to do? Who taught me the right way without reminding me about the wrongs I have done or even punishing me for it?”

“Who grandpa?”

“God did. He kept reminding me that He loves me—a love that will never fail me. He kept telling me that He will never leave my side; He will always be there no matter what I do. Nothing I do can disqualify me before Him. He showed me how to treat people with His love—through gentleness, patience and love.”

“But grandpa, where is He now, why are you so sick and dying? Surely God will not allow this if He was with you.”

“My dearest child, even now God is still here. He is giving me the air for my next breath. He is giving me a final opportunity to show you His love, to spend my last precious moments with you—whom I love. I have cancer, but cancer will not have the last say, God will. Now when it is God’s time to take me home, He will do so, but I will not be alone. He is holding me in His hand. The day that God leaves me or you alone is the day that pigs might fly.”
