God is LOVE

In my opinion, going extra miles mean taking risk in doing something extra; it can be for anybody or someone who you loved dearly. In addition, going extra miles is a sacrificial act and most of the people are doing it for few reasons like doing it for love, for responsibility and also because of one's professionalism, determination or passion in whatever they are doing.

Like in the movie 'Patch Adam'; his girlfriend -Patch Adam's girlfriend- was killed by a mentally illness man. She told Patch Adam that this man was a little bit not well but Patch Adam told her that they need to help those who are in need. So, one night, this man called up for help but Patch Adam was not around and ended up his girlfriend went over to see what she can do to help that man. But sadly, she was killed by him. She went extra miles, thought of helping that man but ended up being killed. She sacrificed herself for the purpose of helping people.

There are lots of unspoken heroes in the world who go extra miles for others. I am truly proud of them. Going extra miles is not a simple act; it requires lots of courage and sacrifice.

There is a sonographer in one of the hospital in Ipoh who had save a patient's life because she had taken the effort to go extra miles. One day, she was scanning this patient who diagnosed with pancreatic tumor. Pancreatic tumor has no sign and symptoms until it turn into stage four and it will be too late to cure by then. This patient didn't know that she had pancreatic tumor; she just came to the hospital to do some routine medical check-up. The sonographer patiently scanning the patient; she swapped around the patient's body with the probe and carefully searching for any abnormality. Because of her professionalism in her job and her determination, she found some growth somewhere in between the patient's pancreas and spleen. Then, the radiologist reported the ultrasound and requested for CT scan for further evaluation of that growth. And through the CT scan, the radiologist confirmed that there was a tumor on the patient's pancreas. The radiologist said that the patient was really lucky that the pancreatic tumor was diagnosed earlier. Yup, this patient indeed is really blessed because God had sent someone who are willing to take the trouble to go extra miles for her and save her life.

Jesus, He is the Son of God, King of kings and Lord of lords; also went extra miles for all of us. He carried the cross for us, He was mocked, He was rejected and He was crucified for us. God sent Jesus to die for us on the cross for one simple reason; because He loves us very much! What make God take the extra miles to send His one and only son to die for us on the cross? What make Jesus to take extra miles by being rejected, being mocked and die for us on the cross? All these are done because of His Awesome Love for us! This love is known as AGAPE! Hallelujah! I can never, never pay back what Jesus had done for me by loving me unconditionally and die for my sins on the cross. "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends - John 15:13"

God bless! =)
