Fierce love...

Last week I fumbled into church.  I nearly tripped over my own feet because I was so excited.  Truth is this fool was desperate for fellowship and food and by that I mean the word of God.    Being in Taiwan I've been constantly confronted by the fact that the majority do not believe in the God that I am hopefully in love with.

Desperate I went to church and will continue to go to church.  It's a multi cultural group of people, people from Taiwan, South Africa, Italy, India and America and that's saying something considering that there are only about ten of us.  I can see God reaches and touches us all.  I ponder His fierce love that constantly pursues and cuts through walls and chains that Satan ( and sometimes ourselves ) put up against Him.  

This last weekend I watched a movie called ' The Vow ' and was once again taken by the pursuit of the husband.  His wife forgot their marriage bond due to a car accident.  He spends his days pursuing her just as he had promised in his wedding vows. How much more fierce is Gods love for his beloveds?  His bond is eternal and unrelenting.  It's a monkey grip- even if we let go, He's holding on.  

Truth is:

There is nothing that can hold you back from the love of God.

Simple.

Love,
