The Story of Love.

By Mabel Chia


Growing up from a child who reads a lot of fairy tales gives a lot of imagination of being a fair Princess whom will find a Prince charming… well eventually in some part of my life.

Through the many relationships I’ve went through, I’ve learnt many painful, but valuable lessons. But there is something which I did not learnt, which I am very grateful to God for teaching me recently…

The lesson of Him loving me.

I had a tiff with a friend who was very close to me 2 Saturdays ago. I was very upset and I cried. I pray and asked God why this would happen to me. And I ask if the Lord if He could send me someone who loves me more than I, loving the person.

At that moment, a question was posed to me. “I’ve loved you more than you loved me all this while; tell me Mabel, what are you still looking for?” I stopped crying and started reflecting and asking myself “Yeah, what am I looking for? God loves me more than I love him and accepted me for all my flaws, all my wrong doings.”

When I 1st came to church, I remember I saw Sier on MSN and he told me, “God loves all his children and he loves you Mabel.” I was like “yeah he loves me and all his children”. When Huiling was helping me to understand the Gospel and the Lord, she told me, “ The love of Jesus was so great that He died on the cross for us, for you and me” And I was like “yeah He loves me soooo much that He died on the cross for me.”

What I want to say is as a young Christian, people tell me that God loves me and I listen and agree. But what is convincing is when God speaks to you directly and tells you He Loves You.

I am convinced and believe in His Love. Do you? Or have you forgotten His love for you?
