Sunday, May 25

was watching the sichuan charity show on channel 8 last night..there were many moving stories of the victims and regarding the earthquake there but one particular story which moved me and i believe many more who heard it was abt how a particular mum sacrificed her life, wrapped her body in such a way so as to protect her baby child from the rumbles of the building...the baby child was formed unharmed in the arms of the dead body of the mum and found in the clothes of the child was a handphone with a typed message saying:

Dear child, if you are still surviving, pls know that I love you

That moves my heart, knowing how big the love a parent has for her child...in fact this is real-life parallel example for how great God's love is so great and unconditional, that He sent His son, Jesus to die for me on the cross so that I, who believe in Him, can be saved and have eternal life...it allows me to understand more of a parent's heart for the child, a love thats unconditional, thats so great that its hard to fathom at times., yet its all possible through God...

even as we express our heart-felt sympathies for the sichuan victims, let us not forget how great God's love can be, how big God can be, that in the midst of the troubles and worries, He can bring hope and light to the lost, to restore the lives to all who turn to Him. Amen
