Psalms 66:20
Blessed
be God who refused me not my prayer or his kindness!
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
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 (lost the
business, lost our house), we ignore Him completely. We always thought that He was the one who let
these happened in our lives. But instead
of being “freed” from Him, we suffer more miseries. We suffer more setbacks. We indulged more in sins and the devil has
once again owned our heart and our soul.
Jesus will not let this happen
further. He is there over and over again
for us, loving us and trying to get us back again into His loving presence. He will never lose you again, for you are
more important to Him than anything else.
Jesus opened the way for us to have eternal life. Be not afraid and come to Him. He is our joy forever.
Let us pray +
Almighty Father, I am lost and it is hard
to face up to the wrong that is in my life.
Help me feel this goodness, and strengthen me to forgive those who have
wronged me. Amen +
Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.
