This is one of the unusual days when I woke up from sleep and started writing what I felt God is telling me. As yesterday’s passage was also very relevant and then it came as answer to my prayers and I am thankful for the way God spoke to me. And it was so comforting that the Creator of Heavens and Earth, The King of kings, LORD spoke to me and it is humbling to see that He calls us son.
Who am I? I was reminded of the words of David where he says in Psalms 8:
“3When I consider your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place,
4 what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
human beings that you care for them?
5 You have made them a little lower than the angels
and crowned them with glory and honor.
6 You made them rulers over the works of your hands;
you put everything under their feet:
7 all flocks and herds,
and the animals of the wild,
8 the birds in the sky,
and the fish in the sea,
all that swim the paths of the seas.
9 Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
Interesting read because think of it! Here is someone who created all things the Creator of heavens and earth what if He decides that He will create everything again from scratch and He can create better creature than us, He is Omnipotent, we don't doubt this right! But still He is mindful of us. Shouldnt we be really thankful towards His mercy and grace that He loves us and He is good and not wiping us out from the face of the earth. And on other hand we the rebellious people how do we respond to His love by saying who is God? What do He think of Himself? How can we call him good if there is so much of evil?
But have we done the homework, who is evil have we asked ourselves? As it is said in hindi “Apne girban mein jhak-ke dekho”?(Have you introspected in your own life). Are you spotless, without sin, have you not done any wrong till day? Peep in properly and you will find the worst darkness in your own heart. And your brokenness is smelling everywhere and so is of others. Why are we dragging God in all this. And may I suggest if there is no God we will never know what Good is and there will be no Absolute. It is because of God we are able to see good and bad. All goodness is nothing but His character and evil everywhere is nothing but corruption of that good. If anyone is guilty and responsible for it, that is you and me.
And yet inspite of it God loves us. He is patient and thats why He became Man and dwelt among us. He loves us, truly not just by words but He demonstrated it throughout the history. And He said “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” John 15:13. What more He can give. He said “ For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 and Further In John 3:18-21 “Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. 19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.”
For this is the message we Christians long to spread. There is no other story to be told. There is no other news but the Gospel. His-story is the main story and rest follows.
