Why do we love?

experiencing God. all of us will have times of spiritual dryness. it may not be once only, it could be many times, to test your faith. if you are not shaken, that means you have a strong foundation in Christ. i remember there was this sunday school song that we used to sing.

the wise man build his house upon a rock,
the wise man build his house upon a rock,
the wise man build his house upon a rock,
and the rain came tumbling down.

the rain came down and the floods came up,
the rain came down and the floods came up,
the rain came down and the flodds came up,
and the house of the rock stood firm.

the foolish man build his house upon the sand,
the foolish man build his house upon the sand,
the foolish man build his house upon the sand,
and the rain came tumbling down.

the rain came down and the floods came up,
the rain came down and the floods came up,
the rain came down and the floods came up,
and the house of the sand went SMASH!

notice the bold words. if you have a really strong foundation in Christ, you will stand firm no matter what obstacles you face in life. if you're experiencing dryness, here is some advice. continue to seek him everyday. pray that he will draw near to you as you draw near to him. if you do not even try to draw near to him, do you think he will? He really wants to draw near to you, but if you do not seek him, he cant. do you think he wants to be separated from you? no! he made us so that we could fellowship with him. he makes us go through this spiritual dryness thingy because he loves us and wants to see us grow more and more like him each day. people who have weak foundations will when in times of dryness, turn to others and curse and swear at God.

for a start, thank God for everything that he has given you. commit everything into his hands. let me give you a real life example. i used to have some problems in _______. i thought that if i surrendered it to him, everything would be fine. i did, and after a while, i started to do things my way. soon, everything was going out of control. one day, i sat down and thought about it. i wasnt really letting God taking control of my whole life, just a part of it. from that day on, i've decided to give my all to him. and guess what? everything went well the next day. i'm serious.

trust God with all your heart. proverbs 2:4,5 says," trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him and he shall make your paths staight." He has a very detailed plan of your life already. he knows your every move. so instead of giving it all to him, why are we clinging on to things that he is in control of? why not let the master be in charge? trust me, if you give your life to Jesus, he will definitely direct your paths.
