God is love

     It feels good to pray! It has been a long time since I prayed a prayer like that-- sincere and just plain honest. One of the many mistakes I  have done in my life was to limit God-- I doubted each time my family prayed-- I even doubted myself, and God's faithfulness when I prayed. But that was  before I saw God's faithfulness to those that believed He was God, He is God, and He will forever be God. I think most of the time people really don't  understand the meaning of the word GOD-- we use it, we talk about it, but we don't know what it means-- we underestimate it, just like we  underestimate God ourselves. We might not be aware of that, but it's really happening. Every time someone doubts a prayer to God, he underestimates  God's power and faithfulness-- just like I did before. Every second we sin, we fail to realize that there is someone whom we do not see who is watching  every move we make-- and that someone is not just a neighbor, or a friend hidden somewhere-- we usually think the people who would catch us in the  act of shamefulness are people like us. But we thought wrong. There is someone who sees us even before we do something-- worse, he could see our  hearts-- and I'm not talking about the heart that's pumping inside our bodies-- I'm talking about the heart that holds every desire, every thought, and  every will we have. God sees beyond what human eyes could see. God knows if you're doing something out of selfishness or self-proclaimed self- righteousness. He knows everything, and He knows how unfaithful we are to Him. But He sees beyond that-- He forgives us continually even though we  sin almost everyday, He is faithful even when we neglect Him, He walks with us even if we choose to stay away from Him, God is the perfect model of  Love-- God is Love Himself, and that's a fact. Love is not merely a feeling it's a decision, because if it was just a feeling then God would've backed down  during that time when He was to be killed because every emotion in His body was telling Him to do so, but He didn't. He decided He was going to do this  even when He didn't want to, because He loved His people. And that's what we ought to do. We don't just say, "God, I love You!" because we felt like  saying so that time, or because we feel that we love Him. We should also make a decision to love Him. If we believe that Love is merely an emotion,  what would happen if our emotions tell us not to love God anymore or say,  if we felt like hating God, what happens then? Would we be ruled by what our  emotions tell us? On the other hand, making a decision is far more a serious matter than being led by the wind-- the wind is referring to our emotions.  When we decide on something, there's no turning back. No retakes, no backing out, and especially no quitting. Because when you decide, you're in it  forever.
