Love and Care…
It quite amazing that love and care is fact becoming a strange word is our world today.
Families now abandon their own at the mercy of “whosoever cares”, parents leave their children to pursue earthly pleasures; nations care less about their citizens. Right now the heat is on for the survival of the fittest.
But the obvious things here are that we belong somewhere. None of us came from the blues. We have parents, families and a country that we call our own. What then went wrong?
The bitter truth is that we have left the most importance thing behind. Our children today are struggling to earn our love, which we have withheld from them for our own selfish purposes. God never permitted it to be so.
His love for us is undeserved. We did nothing to earn it; no good in us merit it. The holy Bible says: “God demonstrated His own love toward us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).
In all our relationship especially with our children we must genuinely show that same kind of love. We are called to treat our children and all people with love and respect. It helps to remember what we were when Christ died for us.
You may have missed it for a long time now, but no matter how prodigal you may have been all these years, Christ is calling you to follow Him, and His love will surely change you into a precious saint.
Pray that God will help you to show respect and love to others, always mindful of the fact that each of us is created in God’s image. When the light of God’s love shines through your life, it will bring praise and honour to Him.
