For You:)

Dear Fren,

Sorry, i couldnt be there for you when you needed me. I slept super early last night and woke up in the middle of the night.Then, i searched for my phone to check the time when saw 2 missed call and a msg saying "Hi,I want to talk to you so if you see this call me. "It sounded pretty serious to me. So i pop out of bed to on my computer and true enough i found ur facebook status and ur blog updated with all ur sorrows. However, i am pretty amazed that you're still able to sleep after all . This proves that you're still a guy. Haha :p

I wanted to wait til morning to talk to you but that was not what God has in plan. haha. Mayb its more serious than i think. Anyway, guess what's the topic of my devotion today?

Wounded Lover : What God's power cannot accomplish. Hosea 11
" Many people think of God as an impersonal force,something akin(similar) to the law of gravity. By contrast, Hosea potrays God as a Person of passion,fury,tears,love-a God in mourning over his people's rejection.

God uses hosea's unhappy story to illustrate his own whipsaw(victimised) emotions. That first blush of love in finding Isreal, God says, was like finding grapes in the desert(9:10) But as Isreal breaks His trust over again and again, God endured the awful shame of a wounded lover. God's words carry a tone surprisingly like self-pity:" I am like a moth to Ephriam,like rot to the people of Judah'(5:12)

Love's Power and Powerlessness
The strong image of a jilted(rejected) lover explains why, in a chapter lik Hosea 11, God's emotion seem to vacillate so. God prepares to obliterate Isreal-wait now he is weeping, holding out open arms-no,he is sternly pronouncing judgement again. Those shifting moods seem hopelessly irrational, except to anyone who has been jilted by a lover.
 Is there a more powerful human feeling than that evoked by betrayal?
 Hosea and God demostrate in living colours exactly how it feels to love someone desparately, and receive nothing in return. Not even God, with all his power, can force a human being to love Him ."

Its alright to feel sad about it. God does, when His people disobey Him. But you still have to overcome those rejections.My advice- Turn to God for healing. God knows how it feels to be rejected. He has been through it much more than us. Talk to God about ur problems, it will make you feel better :)You asked why do girls always reject you? BECAUSE THEY AREN'T THE RIGHT ONE FOR YOU!haha :D

I will say this again and again til you get bored of this and you can even say it in your sleep.
" Don't Rush into relationship! Only go when u're ready and God gives you the green light! :)"

One last thing- Depend on God's love and not humans :) Always put God first,ya?

Love ,
