How Much Love Supplies Are There?
Yenny Kartika Official Writer
16341 John 4:16
And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
Bible Reading for a Year [bible]psalm127[/bible]; [bible]icori16[/bible]; [bible]isamu20-21[/bible]
A family is the smallest unit of society, yet it is where the center of life located and begins. According to report from Directorate-General for Supreme Court’s Judiciary of Religion (Ditjen Badilag MA), Indonesia’s divorce rate is increasing. Besides amongst celebrities, divorce is now common amongst ordinary people.
Divorce does cause many problems. Children will be short of affection, have imbalance, disagreement, jealousy, troubled finance, and many more. Later on, those who lack of affection will begin to seek other sources of affection; they will be plunged into various negative way of life and the society where they grow up is likewise. And they eventually get married. Because they don’t understand what a happy marriage is like, they would have dilemma when their marriage is in trouble.
This happens over and over again. There would be so many vents they give to their problems. Some vent it on drugs, sexual promiscuity that leads them to severe illness, and even sexual abuse; just like what we hear on news recently. Many of them are Christians! Then, what should we do since all of us have our own problems?
The point is how much love supplies that we posses. We share the love as much as we have. Does the supply is sufficient for the family only; is the supply able to overcome only our own crisis? Or, is the supply able to meet others’ need and be shared with them?
Because our God is compassionate, He will give us limitless love supply. It has to be handed over to people surround us so they can feel it. The love that has changed us will change people surround us, as well, because it comes from God.
How much love supply that we posses depends on how much capacity we can accommodate. God gives limitless love, but if the ‘pipeline’ cannot convey due to blocking, then its flow stream will be obstructed; and it will be difficult to share the little love with others. But when the ‘pipeline’ works well, the love will flow so abundantly that other people can reach for it.
