Why do men only realise we truly need when we finally lost everything? It's a sad fact of the world. When men are down in the drain, looking pitiful and sad, who will be there to comfort?Who will be there to wipe away the tears?
Look at people who live in war torn country or famine stricken places. Sometimes, what they need is not money. They need to know that there is hope for tomorrow. There is hope for their loved ones. Money doesn't always bring hope. Love does.
I've noticed certain pattern among the people whom I'm in contact with. We all live too comfortably and don't know what is true suffering. How is it like to live in a bleak circumstances where hope literally flew out of window. If one need to lose everything in order to know how much one is loved by Jesus, I would say praise God. Only then one will gain everything. Why learn the lesson the hard way when chances are given to learn it when life is still smooth sailing and peaceful.
I saw a blind man lining up in front of church entrance. He looked fragile and pitiful. The corner of my eyes caught his humble self. Why he come to church? He is blind and has to queue every week. By the way, he is not young nor he is in his fourties. I would say he is in his sixties. I didn't see his family anywhere. Maybe he is blind since birth, maybe accident rob his eyesights, maybe something else. I don't know. Why he come every week?Because he knows that he is loved deeply by his Saviour. There is hope for tomorrow despite being blind. He came to listen to men and women of God conveying the message that he needs most - that he has a Saviour that understand what he is going through and a Saviour that loves him despite his circumstances.
Time is running out. Jesus loves everyone in the world including you and me. Why not open our heart to hear what He wants to tell us. No harm done.
