title: Unfinished I have always wondered what love really meant. Romantic flicks, Love stories-- even the cliché Disney movies often attracted me. They have the same quirks. Usually the heroine is caught up in a problem of her own. Then here comes her valiant knight in shining armor.
The Knight defeats the conflict. They live happily ever after. The end. Not bad, huh? It’s simply unbelievable. Impossible. Merely a tale, a story, a fantasy. Because of those fairytales, I never knew what true love really was. I thought it was based on feelings: conditional and temporary. I never figured it out, never knew what true love was about. I thought it would always have flaws and imperfections, but I was wrong. All these years, I was actually EXPERIENCING true love. Genesis1:26. God created man. Us. You. Me. Why? Because he loves us. That’s it. No uncertainties. Pure, genuine love. I Also realized my Prince did come. Matthew2:12. My knight in swaddling clothes, in a manger. He did come. He came for us. For you. For me. My Savior also saved me from the enemy. Mark17:34. He died on the cross to save me From my sins. To redeem me. To pay for my unpaid debt. His arms stretched wide on the cross. Not only did he die, but he came back. Matthew28:6. He resurrected. My Savior overcame the grave and rose from the dead. With his nail-pierced hands to prove it too. Then He promised to return. He didn’t allow happily ever afters in reality, because He is giving us the chance to write the remaining chapters in our lives. In those chapters, there are so many to be written; many struggles and changes to overcome. But in the fullness of time, we will all know what will happen. To those of you who think their savior isn’t going come, He’s actually here. Outside. Knocking on the door of your heart. Waiting to save you. Ready to share his undying love. Won’t you let him in? I know my journey with my Savior is just beginning. He wouldn’t allow me to leave the chapters unfinished. As I continue writing the story of my life, I can’t help but be grateful to have experienced such irreplaceable undying love. With all my heart I sing, I lift my hands, making the most. Because I know someday, when I meet Him, it would be for eternity; reading the finished story we have written together. Our own fairytale that was never a tale at all. This is all for You. My Savior, my Dad, my King. |
