A Love Story Author Unknown One day I woke early in the morning to watch the sunrise. Ah, the beauty of God's creation is beyond description. As I watched, I praised God for His beautiful work. As I sat there the Lord brought His presence on me. He asked me, "Do you love Me?" I answered, "Of course God! You are my Lord and my Savior!" Then He asked, "If you were physically handicapped, would you still love me?" I was perplexed. I looked down upon my arms, legs, and the rest of my body and wondered how many things I wouldn't be able to do. The things that I took for granted. And I answered. "It would be tough, Lord, but I would still love You." Then the Lord said, "If you were blind, would you still love my creation?" How could I love something without being able to see it? Then I thought of all the blind people in the world and how many of them still loved God and His creation. So I answered, "It's hard to think of it, but I would still love you." The Lord then asked me, "If you were deaf, would you still listen to my word?" How could I listen to anything being deaf? Then I understood. Listening to God's Word is not merely using our ears, but our hearts. I anwered, "It would be tough, but I would still listen to Your Word." The Lord then asked, "If you were mute, would you still praise My Name?" How could I praise without a voice? Then it occurred to me, God wants us to sing from our very heart and soul. It never matters what we sound like. And praising God is not always with a song, but when we are persecuted. We give God praise with our words of thanks. So I answered, "Though I could not physically sing, I would still praise Your Name." And the Lord asked, "Do you really Love Me?" With courage and a strong conviction, I answered boldly, "Yes Lord! I love you because You are the one and true God!" I thought that I had answered well, but God asked, "Then why do you sin?" I answered, "Because I am only human. I am not perfect." "Then why in times of peace do you stray the furthest? Why only in times of trouble do you pray the earnest?" No answer. Only tears. The Lord continued. "Why only sing at fellowships and retreats? Why seek Me only in times of worship? Why ask things so selfishly? Why ask things so unfaithfully?" The tears continued to roll down my cheek. "Why are you ashamed of Me? Why are you not spreading the good news? Why in times of persecution, you cry to others When I offer My shoulder to cry on? Why make excuses when I give you opportunities to serve in My name?" I tried to answer, but there was no answer to give. "You are blessed with life. I made you not to throw this gift away.

I have blessed you with talents to serve Me, but you continue to turn away. I have stretched My word to you, but you do not gain in knowledge. I have spoken to you, but your ears were closed. I have shown my blessings to you, but your eyes were turned away. I have sent you servants, but you sat idly by as they were pushed away. I have heard your prayers, and I have answered them all." "Do you truly love Me?" I could not answer. How could I? I was embarrassed beyond belief. I had no excuse. What could I say to this? When my heart had cried out, and the tears had flowed, I said, "Please forgive me Lord. I am unworthy to be Your child." The Lord answered, "That is My grace My child." I asked, "Then why do you continue to forgive me? Why do you Love me so?" The Lord answered, "Because you are My creation. You are My child. I will never abandon you. When you cry, I will have compassion and cry with you. When you scream in joy, I will laugh with you. When you are down, I will encourage you. When you fall, I will raise you up. When you are tired I will carry you. I will be with you 'til the end of the days, and I will love you forever." Never had I cried so hard before. How could I have been so cold? How could I have hurt God as I had done? I asked God, "How much do You Love me?" And the Lord stretched out His arms, As they were nailed to the cross. I bowed down at the feet of Christ, my Savior. And for the first time, I truly prayed. The Voice.....A Love Story From the very begining, the gal's family objected strongly on her dating this guy saying that it has got to do with family background, & that the gal would have to suffer for the rest of her life if she were to be with him. Due to family pressure, the couple quarrelled very often. Though the gal loved the guy deeply, she always asked him, "How deep is your love for me?" As the guy was not good with words, this caused the gal to be very upset. With that & the pressure from her family, the gal would vent her anger on him. As for him.. he endured it in silence. After a couple of years, the guy finally graduated & decided to further his studies overseas. Before leaving, he proposed to the gal, "I'm not very good with words. But all I know is that I love you. If you allow it, I will take care of you for the rest of my life. As for your family, I'll try my best to talk them round. Will you marry me?" The gal agreed, & with the guy's determination, the family finally gave in & agreed to let them get married. So before he left, they got engaged. The gal went out to work, while the guy was overseas, continuing his studies. They sent their love thru emails & phone calls. Though it was hard, they never gave up. One day, while the gal was on her way to work, she was knocked down by a car that lost control. When she woke up, she saw her parents beside her bed. She realised that she was badly injured. Seeing her mum crying, she wanted to comfort her. But she realized that all that could come out of her mouth was just a sigh. She has lost her voice....The doctors says that the impact on her brain had caused her to loose her voice. Listening to her parents' comfort, but with nothing coming out from her, she broke down. During her stay in the hospital, it was only her silent cry that accompanied her. Upon reaching home, everything seemd to be the same. Except for the ringing tone of the phone. Which pierced into her heart everytime it rang. She did not wish to let the guy know. & not wanting to be a burden to him, she wrote a letter to him saying that she did not wish to wait any longer. With that, she sent the ring back to him. In return, the guy sent hundreds of letters, and made countless phonecalls.. but all the gal could do was cry....Her parents decided to move away, hoping that she would eventually forget everything & be happy. With a new environment, the gal learnt sign language & started a new life, telling herself everyday that she must forget him. One day, her friend came & told her that he came looking for her. She asked her friend not to let him know what happened to her. Since then, there wasn't anymore news of him. A year has passed & her friend came with an envelope, containing an invitation card for the guy's wedding. The gal was shattered. When she open the letter, she saw her name on it instead. When she was about to ask her friend what's going on, the guy appeared in front of her. He used sign language telling her "I've spent a year learning sign language. Just to let you know that I've not forgotten our promise. Let me have the chance to be your voice. I Love You." With that, he slipped the ring back onto her finger.
