"Because I love you son." He says

Ryan was on the run of his life, he owed a huge sum of money to a certain loan shark. Just as he was at the verge of being beaten up for what he could not pay back, a man came out and stopped the angry group of men; asked for the amount Ryan owed, reached into his pocket, took out the exact sum of money and paid them. Confused, Ryan asked the man "Why?".

Calmly, he replied," Because i love you son." and walked away.

Another day came, Ryan was walking through a dark and cold valley; shivering and lost, he was about to give up when suddenly a figure of a man came with a torch. The torch was shining bright and the man came over to him, covered him with a coat, took him by his arm and led him out of the valley. The man then took him to a cottage, and got him a room. Just as he was about to leave, Ryan quickly called out to him and asked,"Why?".

And he heard a familiar voice replying, "Because i love you son." And the man walked away.

A few days after that, Ryan picked a fight in a bar, he broke a glass bottle over a man and killed him. Panic-striken, he heard sirens and knew the cops were coming to arrest him, it was too late to escape from the death penalty. Just as the cops were about to come into the bar, a strong hand pushed Ryan aside, grabbed the blood stained bottle from his hand. The cops came in, took hold of the man and dragged him away.

After coming to his senses, Ryan stood up and saw that the man being dragged away by the police officers was the very same man who paid for his debt and saved him from the valley. He then quickly ran after that man and asked,"Why are you doing all these for??"

The man replied,"Because i love you son."

Ryan shouted back, " What are you talking about? I never had a father or anyone in my life!"

The man replied with a smile,"I have always been with you my son, since the very day you were born, watching over you."

And as he was being dragged away, his wallet fell out from his pocket. Ryan picked it up and opened it. Pictures of the man watching over him from behind during his good times, and holding him up when he was in trouble since the very day Ryan was born, flashed before him. The siren sounded and the police car drove off.

Guess thats what love all about :)

1 Corinthians 13:4
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Cheers Brother !

8Love never fails.
