Allah's Love 


Allah's Love 


Allah's Love 





One day, I woke up 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 the beautiful work. 


As I sat there, I felt the Lord's presence with me. 



He asked me, "Do you love me ?" 


I answered, "Of course God! You are my Lord!" 


Then He asked,"If you were physically handicapped, 


would you stil 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 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, "Its 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 understand.Listening to God's word is 


not merely using our ears but our hearts. 


I answered, "It would be tough but 


I would still listen to your words," 



The Lord then asked,"If you were mute, 


would you still praise my Name?" 


How could I praise without a voice ? 


Then it occured to me:God wants us to sing 


from our very heart and soul. 


It never matters what we sound like. 


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 do in times of peace you stray the furthest ? 


And why only in times of trouble do you pray the earnest ?" 


No answer. Only tears. 



The Lord continued:Why only pray 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 cheeks. 



Why are you ashamed of Me ? 


Why are you not spreading the good news ? 


Why in times of presecution, you cry to others 


when I offer My shoulders 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 throw this gift away. 


I have blessed you with talents to serve me, 


but you continue to turn away. 


I have revealed 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 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 embarrased 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 servant." 


The Lord answered,"That is my grace, my servant." 


I asked, "Then why do you continue to forgive me ? 


Why do you love me so ? 



The Lord answered, "Because you are my creation. 


I will never abandon you. 


When you cry, I will have compassion and cry with you. 


When you shout with 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 till 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. 


And for the first time, I truly prayed.
