Love is all you need and all that you should ask for. The question is: “Have you gotten enough of it while growing up, or have you missed out on what it is you need and therefore, have been searching for it ?
Growing up as a kid, I longed for a nicer world and an environment that would please me. That’s all I’ve wanted as a child, for everyone who surrounded me, to be kind, nice and loving. Aside from that, I wished I had freedom from my parents to do the things a child cares about.
Years past. Everything I wished and dreamed of was all gone. Instead, at an early age I had my own family with growing children at age 20. I stopped wishing and dreaming for those things but faced the reality of life and focused as a wife, a mother and a college student all at the same time.
When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. 1 Corinthians 13:11.
Becoming an adult did not end my curiosity. My search went deeper and tougher, traversing life, for true love. Wishes and dreams would fill my mind. I desired for more: to finish the degree I started to become a teacher, start a career, and, to have a happy family. I got all those but happiness is one thing that no one could give but God- something I never had, and was unreachable to me as far away, as the heavens and stars.
Years passed on. I saw Jesus standing up to bridge that gap. The things I missed out on, He has thousands of ways to make those things up through God’s love. This is the reason for writing this book: to help our youths and young adults reach out to that ocean-deep love.
God’s love is a mystery because we are seeing it with our human eyes and understanding. Unless you look at it with His own mind and heart, it will remain incomprehensible and unknown.
Can we find the deep things of God?
“...sink the shaft deeper and deeper and discover a rich and precious lode… the unsearchable riches of Christ-- light, truth and life.” Ellen White
Hey Friends,
We are on a solemn journey to deeply seek the most beautiful thing that life could offer, called, "LOVE." This is not what the world has known it to be as an intense feeling and emotion but the deep truth of God's grace and mercy. So, know that it's not always a fun journey full of excitement, but an exploration of the Spirit.
Learn about the author and source of this one true love. What is its significance to us as entrusted stewards of the resources and the life He gifted us? Life is too precious to NOT use wisely and properly, So, now is the perfect time to be together in search of this ocean-deep love.
But wait! Take a look at these guidelines. The path is so narrow and so, don't weigh yourself down with extra luggage. It is important that you take care of your body and get enough "rest" during this process. Take note of this "rest" for it is where you will get proper instruction and preparation to give you a good start, to keep you going and sustain you through the end. Have a pencil and notebook with you, and of course, what's most valuable to you in this journey.
To make this journey possible, we made an interesting challenge for you: A Faith Trip.
Take heed of the instructions for a good preparation.
You are traveling to a 'paradise' (any place) where everything you see is beautiful and good.
