God had shown us the perfect love by sacrificing His only son for us. Abraham has shown his surrender to God by sacrificing Isaac. Today I learned what is the difference between offering and sacrificing. Sacrifice means there’s hurt involved in it, while offering’s not. Sacrifice means more than just a giving. Isaac to Abraham means something very precious in life, something he’s been longing for about 100 years. “Our Isaac” could be our money, our assets, our work, our love, or anything precious for us, something u get with big efforts or maybe something which would makes u drop your tears to get that.
I have given away “my Isaac”, I have given away a part of my work which people said would earn the most benefit. I also have given away my love. Given away is not in the meaning of giving up. I have given away means I have given my love & I don’t expect to get in return, while for me giving up means not to love anymore.
I really value our last 1 month of praying. It hurts when I give it away, but I put my trust like Abraham trusts God’s heart, I want to trust like that as well. When we give away our ‘Isaac’ to God, God will provide.
Now I really understand what is sacrificing, I do understand what is a “heart of giving”. U can never say that until u experience it.
Have u ever loved someone ‘til your heart feel hurts?...
Someone said to me on valentine’s day, loving someone could make your heart feel hurts inside. Coz u always have him/her in your mind, u’re worrying about that person, your heart hurts when that person cries / feel sad, & last but not least u always want that person to be happy & get the best of life.
I do feel that….., it hurts when u have to give away someone u’ve been concerning for some period of time. It’s not easy, I know. This beginning of 2009 has been quite a struggle to me. As I started to grow more in Him, I felt a very intimidating feeling inside me, some voices are telling me to give up, telling me how hard life is for me, telling me to put down my hopes, telling me to stop believing. The more I chase God the more I feel that. Then I remember one thing, as I fly higher under God’s wing, the more the wind will blow. It’s storm there, strong wind and raining. That means something not easy to get through. But God’s wing is big & strong enough to protect us, to help us fly higher than the storm.
Have u ever given away something very precious in your life? It does hurt, but when u give it away to God, it will never be wrong, God will give the best to u. Sacrifice means surrender, giving away something which means so much to u. “So here I am, I offer my sacrifice to U, let it be sweet aroma pleasing unto U. “

ReplyDelete--> it makes love is very interesting and never be boring: taking risk
I'm thinking of what u say about taking risk... Yea, I guess it's about how far u dare to go for it, how far u risk your heart to be hurt.. It really makes sense...
ReplyDeleteI've been through it & I found myself getting stronger by getting through it..=D
