LOVE GOODNESS (07-19-10)

Micah 6:8
You have been told, O man, what is good, and what the LORD requires of you: Only to do the right and to love goodness, and to walk humbly with your God.
----------------------------------------------------------

Somebody took my bike away. I do not know how it happened. I looked for it all around, but it’s not there anymore. I went home crying. On the way home, the thought of being scolded and grounded by my father plays repeatedly on my mind.

Upon reaching the house, my father saw me crying and hugged me. He already had a hint of what happened. He just said, “I am glad that only the bike was lost and you returned back alive and safe”.

The thought of being loved brings into us great joy. That instance instilled in my mind one important thing – that material things are nothing; loving and caring for someone is everything.

The love of God is pure, unadulterated one. God loves us so much that he sent his only Son to become one of us and to save the human race. When Jesus died on the cross, He paid the ransom so we can be with Him again. In His resurrection, the promise of salvation was fulfilled. And He takes care of us now and forever and will not let the devil take us away again.

However, we sometimes forget this. When we experience death or loss, we always thought that He was the one who let these happened in our lives. We indulged more in sins and the devil has once again owned our heart and our soul. But, Jesus will not let this happen further. He showed us what is right and all we need is to follow Him and His Words

Jesus opened the way for us to have eternal life. Be not afraid and come to Him. Do the right things and love goodness.

Let us pray +

Almighty Father, I am lost and it is hard to face up to the wrong that is in my life. When I feel Your forgiveness, I feel clean and good inside. Help me feel this goodness and allow me to share it with others. Amen +

To the upright I will show the saving power of God.
