Its late in the night,a strange craving sets in, I need to eat coffee flavoured cake, and I tell my husband loving as he is, he sheepishly looks at the time and disposes it. After a while I forget all about it, but God dint...next day we have a prayer meeting at our house and someone brings a yummy big coffee cake.....as I bite a slice of it I knew who has arranged this..and I feel overwhelmed and teary,blushing deeply. How can He? so big and mighty take care of every little need of mine?
But he does it, again and again.... I heard so many similar stories where he fulfils our needs by his abundance.
19 And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.Philippians 4:29
From a saint like mother Teresa who'se needs were nobler,to feed and clothe the poor, to a lowly sinner like me, whose needs is rather self contained to have a piece of cake, he works mysteriously in providing for us.
I noticed this attention and care frequently after I fell in love with him in school. But it was an on off relationship I had with God....sometimes it was at its peak,with all my devotion fixed in him enjoying the intoxication of the holy spirit, sometimes I was rude and aloof,refusing to spend time with him since I had so much else to do. but he has been a faithful God...in my happiness and in my sorrows he had been there for me.He takes care of the tiniest details of my life.
17 The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing." Zephaniah 3:17
We live with such unsatisfied longing for love, to love and be loved . That big need for love can never be satisfied by another human being, imperfect as we are created.Only the perfect love can quench us.
He is a caring God, observant of our needs, and grating it speedily.He jealously persues our hearts to fall in love with him and belong to him alone and no other.He schemes to make us fall in love with him....we go through rough times, we go through pain and heart breaks because he wants us to find true, lasting, fulfilling , real love in him.The love in the world is so hallow and imperfect and lacking, because that is how man was made.
"but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears."1 Cor 13:10

Wouldn't we all like to be loved this way...the choice is obvious...the choice is ours to make.God has already made up his mind.
To fall in love with God is the greatest romance; to seek Him the greatest adventure; to find Him, the greatest achievement. ~ Augustine of Hippo
