How big is God’s love for us?
God do not love you?
“I need some motivation, I am tired…….”
A samurai and the love of his life had just gotten married and were traveling by boat to their honeymoon, when a huge storm hit. The samurai’s wife began to tremble with fear; there was no shore in sight and their boat looked like it would capsize at any moment. When she ran to find her husband, she found him peacefully looking out at the sea, as if the sun was out and the waves were calm. She ran up to him and yelled, “How can you be so calm when we are about to die! Do you not value your life?” When the samurai heard her say this, he pulled out his sword and put it to his wife’s neck. His wife started laughing. He said, “Why are you laughing? Are you not afraid?” She said, “Because I know you love me and would never hurt me.” The samurai smiled and said, “Well, I too am in the hands of the One who loves me, so how can I be afraid?”
Sometimes we think too much; our anxiety and fear about the uncontrollable and unknown future drag us towards darkness and depression. God is All-Knowing and All-Loving. He loves us more than any living creature in this entire universe. So, how does He do anything that is harmful for us? When we try to realize that Allah/God loves us beyond what can be comprehended, our fear turns into faith and love. After all, Allah says in Al-Quran (39:63), “To Him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth.” When things do not go as planned, we should just surrender to God’s plan because God’s plans are always best and bigger than our small dreams. I don’t think that God made a mistake giving you the place that you are currently in. He chose it for you. Trust His plans and leave the rest to Him. He loves you, dear; whosoever you are, whatever sins you have committed, He loves you. So, just look up in the sky and say, “I love you too, my Lord; I love you too.” Everything will be fine.
