“A True Love Story”
hello !! ITSS MEE CLAAAAA !! HI EVERYONE !!
nah jokes ! its daryl :)… some of you may have already read this.. coz i emailed this story to some of you’se already.. but i thought i’d post it up coz i want the WHOLE WIDE WORLD TO KNOW ABOUT JESUS CHRIST ! and HOW AWESOME and KOOL HE IS!!! ;)
sooo here’s the true love story about a man who loves and yearns for you! yes YOUUU!!!!!
August 17, 1993, a baby girl was born, her parents loved her and took care of her, even in the midst of hardships. everything that she needed was given to her. that baby girl grew up, she and her family moved to Australia when she just turned 11. everything for her was new, everything was unfamiliar, she felt uncomfortable. but then again, in the midst of unfamiliarity of her new surrounding, her parents comforted her and helped her boost up her confidence, and they encouraged her to do well in everything that she does.
the year 2007 then came along, she is now 14 years old. one of her friends invited her to a camp. at camp there she met a man who absolutely LOVED HER WITH ALL OF HIS HEART! The man confessed to her the love that he felt for her, he said “I LOVE YOU.” she’s never felt such a great and genuine love, and so there she accepted him in her life and in her heart. she found out that, that man knew everything about her and her past. and she thought, i lived every day of my life with my own strength, doing everything that i can to make my parents proud of me, i lived my life to please others, i did everything i can to not get mad at my brother but yet, my mouth opens and speak harshly towards him. every day of my life i trying to be perfect and tried to live a perfect life.
The teen aged girl thought, though i wasn’t perfect this man whom i just met still LOVED ME, he was happy that we’ve finally met, that man made her feel special and loved. it was the 29th september, 2007 that the girl decided to be with him for the rest of her life. however, as time went by things for her got harder and harder. she felt as though the man she met before was never the same, he didnt speak to her, nor touched her. she felt lonely. but every day she remembers the love that, that man gave her, and so she stayed on that relationship.
they would talk for an hour or so, but then like any other day, its not really that special !
a year later, 2008 … her and that man are still together, and yes some days are special, but most days it wasn’t so special… everyday they would talk and she would learn a lot of things from him… but yet she felt like she was never inlove with him… she just loved the things that he does for her and the things that he says to her…
it is now 2009, she wanted more of him, something inside of her wanted to know him, she wanted to be inlove with him and not just love him. she felt like a person who loves the beach but never really dived in to the water.. she wanted to go deeper in her relationship with him…
and then on the 3rd October, 2009… she found herself in a hall along with other girls… but as time went by it felt like as though it was only her in that very hall, suddenly… her eyes,ears and heart were opened to the things that shes never seen, heard and felt before… she heard a voice saying “I LOVE YOU! will you come and live the rest of your life with me? i want you to be with me every day and night!” she realised it was the same voice who confessed that love to her on 29th September 2007.
water filled her eyes, tears fell down her cheeks, and then she stood up and took a few steps forward.. her heart started beating faster and faster… the closer she got to the altar, the stronger that love grew! and she found herself sobbing and crying kneeling down on that carpet floor…
the man told her “i was always here right beside you but you never saw me, you looked at other things… i was right next to you saying i love you, but you never heard me coz you weren’t paying close attention… your here right now coz i carried you along the way, you fought with half of my strength that i gave you…”
the girl stood up and said “i choose to love you with all of my heart, soul, mind and strength. for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, i will still be with you, willingly serving and loving you everyday!”
This story is obviously “my story”… God told me to write a story about myself… to be honest it was quite hard.. soo i said “God i cant write it, so please help me..” and thank God that He did! everything that was written is about me…
the man in my story is God, the girl is obviously me… i accepted God in 29th sept. 2007… after time went by… trials and hardships came along… i stopped talking to God.. well not really.. i just stopped loving Him the way i did the first time i met Him…But the passion and the love i have for God eventually came back again this year. my passion and love for God is now stronger! thank God i had such a wonderful encounter with Him during this year’s SOS CAMP…
through this ive learnt that no matter how far or how hard you push God away from you he is still there…
even if you dont spend a lot of time with Him, he still loves and yearns for you !!but hey, it doesnt stop there… God is outside of the door of heart..knocking and waiting every single day… my question is.. DO YOU LET HIM IN? or do u go in and out of that door not even noticing that His there??
the vow i said on the 3rd october, 2009 is something that shouldnt be taken lightly… when you get married to someone you dont cheat, you spend your every day of your life with that person, you dont treat them as common because they are special ! you dont ignore them but give your full attention to them ! you love them unconditionally ! again, my question is when you say that u love God and that u believe in Him.. are you saying it with your heart? or just with your mouth ?
3rd october is a very special day for me, because that’s the day when i got married to someone who loved me for who i am, who was always there beside me when i felt like noone was there with me ! His name is Jesus Christ!
i now live my life for Him…
p.s
I LOVE YOU’SEEEE !!!
humbled to serve God,
