You are not alone.
I gave my life to God not long ago and it was not EASY. It has not been an easy road, but every time I feel unworthy of His love, I remembered the way Christ suffered for our sins. People often ask me, "Do even have problems?" Maybe because at times, I will hide my tears and use my laughter to hide my pain. But, whenever I close my eyes in a moment of prayer, all I can see are my disappointments, my past sins, my actions and the carelessness of my words. There are ALWAYS days that no matter how hard I work, I always feel unappreciated and unproductive. This is where I tend to question myself, "Am I not good enough? Do I suck? Why?" This is where I always feel discourage in life. But, above all, I remember His love. A love that is unselfish. A love that made me spread my wings and fly. A love that made me hold out my hand in the darkness and allowing Him to hold me as I walk through life without fear, knowing that He will guide me, and give me my heart's desires. Indeed, His love has changed my life and now, I noticed because of His love for me, I had been given a deep love for everybody. In short, I found it easier to love everyone. It is not that typical love you think we give to our lovers, but it is a love that gives me a deep concern for the mental, spiritual and physical well being of other people. I help out in any way I can. I volunteered in foundation because sometimes, people need someone to talk to. I admit, my love is not perfect but I can tell the sudden changes or difference in me and in my bahavior towards other people.
My love is growing..
When I felt His love, I am willing to sacrifice anything; my time, money, effort, prayers, and many more for the benefit of other people. I would give everything that I have to help someone in need of help. From the moment I received His love, it gives me an unexplainable desire to read His words. Earlier today, after I woke up, I read the bible. Before, it was really challenging for me to read it because it made much no sense to me that it does now. So upon reading through the verses of the bible, I found out why His love is the greatest of them all. God loves you and this is His love letter to you..

Conclusion
It is very clear that God dwells ultimate faith and love. Whatever reason it may be, He needs us to trust Him and seek Him. And once we do, His love will shower us with positiveness and happiness enough for us to live and to share to other people. That's what I do and that's what happened to me. Everything will be alright. Because of His love, I live. Because of His love, we will all live.
May you all have a blessed Sunday!
