Love Knows No End

Yellow!

It's been quite a while. 

The awesome month of October is heereee!

Can't believe how time flies. Christmas is coming in 2 months time.

My favorite month, after October, of course. LOL.

Ok lah. I tell you why October is so special.

Because a few days ago was my birthdayyyy lol.

It. Was. AWESOME.

Ok so 1 day before the Day, I was supposed to go high-tea-ing with my girls.

With all our daily routines, it's been impossible to have this kinda meet up without arranging our schedule a few weeks in advance. (Never ever take your uni life for granted, kids)

Anyway.

We're supposed to meet around 3.30PM at Goodwood Park.

So. Plenty of time. I woke up late, my usual lazy Saturday morning.

Made myself a bowl of Korean ramyun and brought it to my room so I could watch Suits while eating lol.

That time, my window was opened. So was my door. The aircon was switched off.

Then I heard the front door of the house was unlocked. But, of course, I thought it was one of my housemates.

Not long after that, I heard someone say 'Helloooooooow' and when I turned my head to that voice

I'm like .............

...............................................

......................................................

Ok. I blanked out for a few minutes.

My brain tried to comprehend the info sent by my eyes.

Okay. Two persons. Two ladies. But those face weren't belong in Singapore.

At least not at that particular time.

Then one of them actually came to me and hug me.

I think my brain has finished loading, so then I know that those were my mom and my sister. LOL.

I scream so loud in surprised. WHEEEE!!!

They brought bakmi GM and the famous pangsit, like, 2 boxes of them.

MUAHAHA!!!

So. I think that was the first time I was THAT surprised.

I mean, usually I know if something is about to happen. Yes. I'm THAT intuitive. LOL.

So. To cut the story short.

That Saturday and the next Sunday afterward was superduper well-spent with people I love the most.

Oh. I still went for the high tea with the girls.

Another surprise at night from the housemates. 

They actually waited until I wiped off my make up so I look the ugggggliiesst when they came up with the cake and candles. HAHA.

I just felt superblessed and loved and awesomely appreciated by all the blessings from all the Church mates, and all the besties from all around the world :) I miss you, guys. Seriously.

My heart overflowed with gratitude and that night I prayed to God.

I only can say 'Thank You'.

But I know that even my biggest words still can't describe how thankful I am.

So I asked God.

God, please let me know, what should I do to please You more.

Well. I didn't get the answer straightaway.

But the next day, we went to a pet shop at  VivoCity.

(Well, what can I say? We love dogs. It runs in the family. LOL)

So we saw lots of pups and dogs.

Some were asleep in their glass box.

Some were groomed and got their fur shaped.

One was bathed on a giant basin lol.

Some are cute. Some are SUPERcute.

But for me, the love of my life is still Muffin.

Well. Objectively, she might not be the best pup.

She's not toilet trained yet, well, you can imagine the mess.

She might get crazy, running back and fro in the middle of the night when we're watching TV.

And you wouldn't know how hurt it is to be bitten by her when she got excited with herself ._.

But for me, she's still the one.

Why? Simply because she is mine.

I love her dearly, because she is mine.

He loves me dearly, because I am His.

I was.. in awe.

Because He understands the depth of my simple prayer.

That what I'm actually asking is not 'What should I do to please Him'

but instead, 'What should I do to please Him, so He would love me even more'

I didn't understand what I felt exactly, when I pray for it.

And His answer is.. Nothing.

Nothing I should do, to make Him love me even more.

Because whatever I do, whoever I am, would never diminish my value in His heart.

To feel more of His love, I don't need to EARN it.

His love is THERE in abundance.

Many times I do things to please Him.

But I never realize that sometimes, there might be a 'hidden agenda' that maybe, just maybe, whatever I do could make Him love me even more.

Well.. I couldn't.

Because it's true that His love knows no end.

It's depth is unfathomable. Even if I live 1,000,0000 years, I know that I wouldn't hit rock bottom when it comes to 'diving' in His unending love.

The night after we visited the petshop, I read my devotional.

And guess what?

Here's a view paragraphs

God adores you, too. Just because you are His child. His sweet daughter.

"How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!

And that is what we are!"(1 John 3:1a)

Have you considered that perhaps God isn't longing for you to come to Him with perfect, polished prayers that have fifty-cent words and flowery language? Have you thought about the pleasure God experiences when you simply approach Him just as you are, warts and all, because He loves you? He delights in your attention. He takes pleasure when you go to Him simply because you are His.

I burst into tears straightaway.

Have you ever felt so deeply loved and blessed, knowing that this love is for FOREVER and nothing, NOTHING can separate you from this love.

So yeah.

I think that's the greatest gift one could ever ask for her birthday :)

Here's a song for you. It's on this YouTube playlist I randomly clicked while writing.

I lift my eyes to see Your face

I know my help is in Your Name

In everything

Held by hands

Of mercy

And I will run and not grow weary

I will rise in God my strength

My heart will trust

For all my hope

Is Christ alone

Now my soul sings

Your love it knows no end

Your love it knows no end

Your love it knows no end

I will love for You have loved

I will forgive as You forgive

Your love prevails

You fill my life

With hope again

We love because He first loved us

(1 John 4:19)

Good night, Beloved :)
