"do not let circumstances tell you about God's love"
during the service, a sister named stefanie mentioned this in her testimony. how true it is... it is easy to love God when times are sweet... when life's filled with honey... when everything seems to go your way... but when things and circumstances are against you... it becomes harder... much harder to love God.
Joy is based on God's goodness and Happiness is based on happenings... cliche yet true... rick warren mentioned in his book [the "20 millions sold worldwide" book], that life is a test, a trust and a temporary assignment...
a test to gauge the authenticity of our love for God...
a time to build our trust in God
a time to build our character through temporal assignments to determine our heavenly standing

so let us not treat circumstances as a determinant to God's love but let the very fact of the demise of His Son prove His Love.... God doesnt owe us a living... we do... in any case, He already have rooms for us in the heavenly realm and we are going to stay there forever... what more can we ask?
