The LORD appeared to us in the past,
saying:
'I have loved you with
an everlasting
love;
I have drawn you with loving-kindness.-
Jeremiah 31:3 (NIV).
This is a true story that happened in Japan.
In order to renovate the house, someone in Japan tore open the wall. Japanese houses normally have a hollow space between the wooden walls. When tearing down the walls, he found that there was a lizard stuck there because a nail from outside was hammered into one of its feet. He saw this, felt pity, and at the same time he was curious. When he checked the nail, turns out, it was nailed 10 years ago when the house was first built.
What happened?
The lizard had survived in such a position for 10 years! In a dark wall partition for 10 years without moving, it is impossible and mind boggling. Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 10 years without moving a single step--since its foot was nailed!
So he stopped his work and observed the lizard, what it had been doing, and what and how it had been eating. Later, not knowing from where it came, appeared another lizard, with food in its mouth.
Ahh! He was stunned and at the same time, touched deeply. Another lizard had been feeding the stuck one for the past 10 years...
Such love, such a beautiful love! Such love
happened with this tiny creature...
What can love do? It can do wonders! Love can perform
miracles!Just think about it; one lizard had been
feeding the other one untiringly for 10 long
years,without giving up hope on its partner.
If a small creature like a lizard can love like this... just imagine how we can love if we try!
How Great is our God
How great is His name
He's the greatest One
Forever the Same
He rode back the water
Of the mighty Red Sea
and He said
I will lead you
Put your trust in Me.
Phil 2: 4-8 ..Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the Things of others. Let this mind be in you which also was in Christ Jesus; Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal to God: But made himself of not reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some
extent, protects you from age."-Jeanne Moreau
