Now everyone can feel loved!

I'm a Christian, I believe in God.
Many has asked me, "Does your God speak to you?"


Many years back when I was still in secondary school, when I was around 15 years old I guess, there was a time that I always asked God to let me understand His love.
I told God i know that He died on the cross for my sin, to save my life, to give me an abundant life. I believe that with no doubt, but I told God honestly I couldn't understand that from deep within my heart, and I couldn't feel that love in a "real" way.
So at that time almost everyday, I prayed and asked God to show me His love, let me understand it not only by knowledge, but in my heart as well.

Then, there was one morning, I went to school like usual. Two things you would hate about my school are : 1. every student (boys or girls) has to wear tie ; 2. we have morning assembly everyday. So that morning as usual we were lining up class by class. While waiting for the assembly to start, I was just lazing around and I saw this young man without a tie, which means, most probably he would be caught and be brought up to the stage later, and then caned (kena rotan) in front of every student in the morning session.

I actually know that guy a little bit. He was my neighbour, his father actually left him and his mum, and worse, he actually has some mental problems. Well, I'm sorry I really don't know if I can call that mental problems, he somehow speaks fluent English, He did quite well in academic, but he definitely had abnormal gestures, the way he responded to questions were sometimes weird, and he had quite some records of exposing private part to classmates.

At that moment, looking at him, my heart was really filled with sympathy. I was reminded of everything that had happened to his family, and often saw him teased and bullied by others, and now he might be getting a painful punishment for forgetting his tie.

There was then a strong urge in my heart telling me :

"Give your tie to him."

"No," I told God in my heart.

"Why should I?"

"He deserves to be caned because he forgot. I don't have to give my tie to him. I might be caned if there is a spot check like usual"

(I mentioned "strong urge", because I knew God was the one who urged me.)


"Give your tie to him so he doesn't get caned." My heart was again urged.

"No, I can't do that" I told myself again, and I told God.

I was a respectable and famous student in the school. I couldn't imagine how people will look at me if I were to stand on the stage and be punished.

I struggled for a while there, being urged over and over again, and i kept rejecting that feeling.

That was such an uncomfortable feeling.

God then spoke to me.

"The love of God is - Jesus gave the tie to him"

I couldn't describe with words, really, how struck I felt to hear that.

I knew what God wanted to tell me.

When Jesus was on Earth, He saw me (and you) in sin, in bondages and in unhappiness, just like what that guy is in my eyes. He had done nothing wrong, but He gave His righteousness to me, and all humans, eventhough I (we) didn't know Him and probably had rebeled against Him. And in the end He had to suffer, died on the cross for the mistakes and sins of humans.
He didn't have to do that, moreover He was a respectable God-sent teacher in all Judea, throughout the land of Israel. I thought I was totally justified, I didn't deserve any punishment like that, and I didn't want my "good" reputation in the school to be tarnished, Jesus could have thought like that, but He didn't. No one deserves His sacrifice at all, but He was willing to carry the sins and be punished, be sentenced to death in front of so many people, eventhough He was far more justified than I was, far more reputable than I was.
It was so shameful as you can imagine, but He chose to do that so you and I can be freed.

"This is the love of God."
These words kept spinning in my heart.

And at that time, my heart couldn't stop trembling to have known this love, the unconditional sacrificial love of Jesus in a way that I had never known before.

You probably wanna ask, is that a hearable (can be heard with ears) voice.
There are incidents in the Bible mentioning about God speaking with hearable voice, but when I said God speaks to my heart, i didn't hear any voice, but it's like a message impressed deep within me, that God is telling me this.
It isn't my imagination, and don't worry friends, I am totally sane. Even the Words of God say in John 10:27 : My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

Airasia says now everyone can fly.
I say, now everyone can feel loved!

for Jesus didn't die only for Christians, Jesus died for all humans, because of His love for each of us. And the most important thing is, He resurrected 3 days after, and He still lives today to give His love and hope to us.

I didn't make the story up, it's real, if you know me good enough i know you'll believe me.

Now everyone can feel loved....

...all due to Jesus!
