If we love someone, we are hoping they will love us back. Or else we felt sad about our love that bears barely nothing. But God is different. He gives you unconditional love. He creates us, yes He is. And somehow, we would hate the drawing we painted, the model we did or the cooking we made.
AND God never.
He loves us the way we are, especially more when we love Him back. He is like a Father awaited His son to go home and even served the son with food and dressed the son with new clothes. This is why He is holding back His wrath even tough His children are pushing Him hard, they killed, they raped, they worshiped the other side. And terribly, they started to twist the fact, cover the truth and make reason for themselves. They even want to be God. But they never noticed, they end up in fire when they thought they reign victory in this ugly world.
We are being created according to the image of God. Well, we are like gloves, they are created in the shape of hand so that our hand can fit into the glove and at the same time, God wants to dwell inside us.Or we are like containers. And He wants to fill us. And more importantly, He wants to transform us, if only we say 'yes' to the Father as He gives us choice. Don't feel that yourself is ugly. I bet that no pottery would complaint to the potter when they are created.
My physics lecturer loves to say, "You are the most stupid person in the world." Some may not just know God yet, so we have the duty to share with them, after all, do not boast that you helped to save, as for a person to turn to God, it's not about you, it's about God's miracle work. One man may just had met thousands of people trying to share gospel with him, but with a stone heart, he may still not take it. I never dare to say people stupid, but as what I feel, those who love God and turn away really make sense of my lecturer's favourite quote as they denied their own Father and the reason of their existence especially when they know all the things behind it. As to brothers and sisters, we help out each other and we pray for each other to keep our faith.

1st Corinthians
13:4 Love is patient and is kind; love doesn't envy. Love doesn't brag, is not proud,
13:5 doesn't behave itself inappropriately, doesn't seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil;
13:6 doesn't rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
13:7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
13:8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are various languages, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with.
chinese version:
- 我若能說萬人的方言,並天使的話語,卻沒有愛,我就成了鳴的鑼,響的鈸一般。
- 我若有先知講道之能,也明白各樣的奧祕,各樣的知識,而且有全備的信,叫我能夠移山,卻沒有愛,我就算不得什麼。
- 我若將所有的賙濟窮人,又捨己身叫人焚燒,卻沒有愛,仍然於我無益。
- 愛是恆久忍耐,又有恩慈;愛是不嫉妒;愛是不自誇,不張狂,
- 不做害羞的事,不求自己的益處,不輕易發怒,不計算人的惡,
- 不喜歡不義,只喜歡真理;
- 凡事包容,凡事相信,凡事盼望,凡事忍耐。
- 愛是永不止息。先知講道之能終必歸於無有;說方言之能終必停止;知識也終必歸於無有。
- 我們現在所知道的有限,先知所講的也有限,
- 等那完全的來到,這有限的必歸於無有了。
- 我作孩子的時候,話語像孩子,心思像孩子,意念像孩子,既成了人,就把孩子的事丟棄了。
- 我們如今彷彿對著鏡子觀看,糢糊不清(原文作:如同猜謎);到那時就要面對面了。我如今所知道的有限,到那時就全知道,如同主知道我一樣。
- 如今常存的有信,有望,有愛這三樣,其中最大的是愛。
amen.
