Surprise!

Couple brothers and sisters in the Big Visitation was surprised when they knew that I walked to church from my Scarborough home this morning. Frankly, I believe most of them are capable to do it. Just that they don't know they are able to do it, or they never thought to test where their limit is.

I always ask myself this question. If I were one of the survivors in a catastrophe, would I go back to the place where I escaped from and rescue others who are dying. I really wonder if my love will compel me to do something sacrificially, regardless of whether my loved ones were one of them. I just can't be so sure. That's why I am so admired to see some of the actions of those volunteers in China who offered their help to those whom they might not know. It is no longer a safe place. They should have left the city / village as soon as possible. But they didn't.

Sometimes we ourselves could be surprised by our actions when we happen to be in that situation. The only explanation to that unnatural response is the love God implanted in us.

Tomorrow will be the last day to collect the special donation. But by no means it is the last opportunity that we can give. There are so many various channels around us.

Love stretches our limits to the next level.
