i'm currently reading max lucado's no wonder they call Him the Saviour.it's a book that i started 2 years ago when singee gave it to me for christmas,which i havent completed.
there was one chapter that struck me very hard.
during these few wks here,i've been kinda missing home very badly especially all the people that i love so much back home.
but then when i read this chapter,it struck me that,that's exactly what Jesus did.He left people here on earth.leaving was loving.
i'm gonna paraphrase cos i don't have the book with me.

what kind of God would give you family but ask you to say goodbye to them?
what kind of God would give you friends but put you thru' the agony of saying goodbye to them?

a God who knows that e deepest love is built not on passion n romance but on a common mission n sacrifice.

a God who did it Himself.

a God who knows that saying goodbye is in actual fact saying 'i'll see you tmw' because of eternity.


the Bible is full of goodbyes.it's such a common word for Christians.especially people who are called by God.missionaries.everyone.

so when i said goodbye to people back home,it's cos i love u guys so much.
especially you.

leaving was loving.
