God’s Unconditional Love

SINGAPORE: A 75-year-old grandmother has become Singapore's oldest living organ donor. Madam Chee Leng Yin donated one of her kidneys to save her seriously-ill daughter.


They say nothing is stronger than the bond between a mother and her daughter.

When Madam Chee found out that she could save her daughter's life by donating a kidney to her, she did not think twice.

She said: "It's my kidney, it's my daughter, who can stop me? Once I've decided, no one can stop
me."

46-year-old Shirley Lau suffered from end-stage kidney failure and needed a kidney transplant to lead a normal life. Even so, she had reservations about her mother's sacrifice.

She said: "The feeling is quite complicated because in a way I'm worried, but in a way it is a solution for me. They (the doctors) went through a lot of tests. So based on that fact, we were more assured."

Reading the story above, we might feel touched. We might feel that the mother is a very loving person who gives up everything, including the part of her body to her daughter. She has the kind of unconditional love. And talking about unconditional love, our God has proven more. He has even given His one and Only Son to this world. We can see unconditional love in this world such as the mother and daughter’s story above. But our God will always have His unconditional love that can’t be offered by this world. So, if you think that you’re not loved, seek Him. You’ll see that He loves you really really really unconditionally. (-fon-)

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life

--- John 3:16
