I love because YOU first loved me

In my 30 years of existence God has been so good to me. He always protects and guide me in my life journey. Every people He place in my life are manifestations of his unconditional love to me.
Yes, all...the good and the bad! Because all of them plays an important role in my whole being. They made me stronger and courageous woman that I am of today. Some people that I considered special in my heart may left me but still I am thankful because I know that God allow it to happened because all along they were just a part of my past to teach me a lesson. The most important thing are those genuine people that are with me through thick and thin. I have a loving and supportive family and friends.
Also, God is good that He answered most of my prayers. As what Mathew 7:7 says "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." Indeed, this is very true. I asked Him to help me strengthen my faith and He does... He is using other people to help me fullfill this and until now I am in the process of knowing Him more.
Considering that I am far from my home land because I'm working as a Nurse overseas, He never fails to assure me that I am filled with His Grace and guided by His Holy Ghost. Even though that I am in a country that is full of restrictions to practice my faith, still I am glad that by His Grace I am able to worship and glorify Him. That I can silently pray in my room and play worship songs to honor Him. Oh! how great is my God...
Everything that I have are from Him. My job,my profession, my cool workmates, my kind Employer, our nice patients and all the things that I have learned here were just once prayers. I am still a work in progress in my faith and for being a Christ-like.. but God is so faithful to me in my prayers. For now, I will continue to ask Him for the things that I am hoping to accomplish and to have.. I will patiently wait, because if my will is inline of His will to me all things will be possible to happen.
Also, I want to share this song I wrote that I entitled "My love story with You, Jesus" I'm hoping and praying that in the near future I can put a melody on this... all glory belongs to our God and savior Jesus Christ...
My Love Story with YOU, Jesus

I
I always remember the first time I long for YOU
Deep inside my heart I knew there’s a missing piece
But this feeling didn't last long,
Coz YOU responded quickly to my call
And open YOUR door

II
From then on YOU never leave me
YOU’VE even carry me in my darkest days
I can feel YOUR presence wherever I am
YOU reminds me always of YOUR great love
Through unexpected circumstances and people around

(Chorus)
I love because YOU first loved me
The love I never felt to anyone or anything
In spite of my unworthiness YOU loved me unconditionally
YOU showed me how valuable I am
And that I am YOUR Princess and YOU are my King

III
Knowing YOU more is a great privilege
YOU died on the the cross to pay my wage
This sacrifice I cannot repay
Because of YOUR love you’ve been slay

IV
This is my love story with YOU my King
That I will treasure for the rest of my life
The only thing that I can give YOU now,
Is to serve and worship YOU with all my heart

(Bridge)
Forever I will love YOU and this is so true
I am excited to journey this life with YOU
And this love story will continue through eternity
I love YOU my Savior, my LORD, my King JESUS

God bless;Nurse Jen
