I do not know if anyone remembers an emphasis week at Koror with the Emmaus boys...I believe we were Juniors ( I may be wrong, you know, eye glasses and oldage), and Kevin Stiles was invited in from Guam to speak about "True Love Waits" during the service. Well, I took notes back then and kept it in my Bible to this day. Here is the message from back then that I want to share with you all.
"Jesus is our true love"
"You have to fall in love with Jesus before you find true love".
Just those lines reminds me of God's purpose in our lives...His wonderful plans for us. Often times, we try to make things work our way, taking charge of our lives, thinking to control our own destiny. Well, I have been down that road and still wanders unto the same road today. I am a living testimony to this fact. I use to think that as soon as I graduate Bethania High School, I will get as far away from being 'cooped' up like hen and be free to do whatever I wish to do. I also thought that if I ever see Mrs. Tem on the road, I will throw a rock at her for making me work, suspending me and hitting me with her towel. Well, to make a long story short, I got married to her nephew! Where does that leave me? Right back where I started. Even closer to Mrs. Tem than ever before. Oh, she never let's me forget about it during alumini meetings. So my point is, the farther we try to go or drift away, God is able to bring us back to Him. He loves us so much and in Jermiah 29:11 it says, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future". There, "hope" and a "future", that is one promise that God intents to keep for us. Will you accept it? Maybe all it takes is for us to fall in love with Jesus first in order to find and experience true love?
