Christ Encounter

REFLECTION



On my discernment in life were I constantly encounter Christ presence is every time I give a recollection to a certain high school student in different school. On that experience I used to choose the topic of God’s love, even though student knows about it but for deepening of their personal realization to the love of God, and for them to acknowledge the love of God with in.
Through this topic I explained to them the expression of the love of God in contrast to the love of man, the love of God is with out limit, and seeks no return hence forth the love of man has its own limits indeed it seek something in return, even man sometimes not faithful to his personal love to God but still God’s love manifested to man for his personal salvation.
Through our parents presence we share also the love of God, through them we feel the love of God as we are loved by our parents; it is a dual relationship by God through our parents, and in respond through our personal prayer and faith to God.
But sometimes man ignore the love of God we tend to follow our own conscience and do the unnecessary wrong values, indeed we hurt others, we make others as a material thing which we did not feel with them the essence of the love of God, we sometimes hurt others by our thoughts, words and action.
However, as I continue the recollection I asked the student during the activity time with three-guided questions. What instances in your life journey you experience the love of God? What is your concrete respond to the love of God? Are you still happy being love by God?
As we start the sharing student started to cry, because there are times in their life journey they did not feel the love of God, as they experience death in their family member, as they experience the death of they father, mother, and other member in their family. They thought there is no God at all, they though no heaven, no angels, because if there is, why it allow it to happen.
Others also shared with their life journey they experience with in the family for they did not feel the love of their parents for they have experience favoritism among the children sometimes their parents would ignore their own needs. Others share their life journey for being a broken family, the infidelity of their father.
While listening to the student it is then personally I encounter the presence of Christ which I could also relate to them my personal life journey. Through listening to them I know God hears all the pain that they have, hears all the anger that they have to their parents, Gods love is constant even we person are not constant with our love to God.
