Reflection - 49

As we are at the threshold of this new day, let us offer our body, heart and mind to our lord Jesus Christ. It is wonderful to recount the stories of countless and choiceless blessing that we have been receving the last  21, 22 or more years. Do anybody think why we have such blessing? We have got good parents , better education and good family atmosphere. Among thousands, God selected us for his work and calls us to be with him. Do we have some pecularities?  No, nothing, we have nothing other than sins and debts. Why there is God again shower his blessings and grace to us? There is only one answer- LAMENTATION 3:22-24, “ The steadfast love of God never ceases. His mercies never comes to an end, they are new at every morning.”

Dear friends Jesus welcomes you all to feel his new and fresh love in this fresh morning and let us go back to your past experience. Sometimes I am inspired by him as his brother, sometimes I am nurtured by him as his son, else I am loved by him as his friend and Isiah express this beautifully in verses that often speaks deeply to the people. “I have called you by name. you are mine, you are precious and honoured and ‘I love you.”’ For the God we feel close to is not a powerful God, such a God is one we tremble before in fear. Neither a creator nor a wise, but we do find ourselves getting close to a God who has made himself weak and vulnerable.

  I am sure that you are leading a life of hypocrite’s. For being an epitomize of Christ or for loving Christ you have to sacrifice something that you owned. Because the speciality of  God’s love is self-sacrificing, self-giving, self-effacing.

Dear friends in this meditation we should take an oath that each one of us will discover the fences and the limitations which restricted me from my God and scrap those discovered unwanted things. We are called to centre our lives of God in responsible services and fulfilment of our duties. We are to be dedicated and commited to our task here on earth as if we are selected by him.

Remember the famous words of ancient  philosopher  Pythagoras: We are the chattel of our God. We should have a strong conviction that we are the belongings of the Almighty. So reflect and think Is my relationship with God in a state of harmony?  Am my faithful to my God?
