“...the
generation of the upright will be blessed.” – Psalms 112:2
“But showing mercy to thousands, to those who love me, and
keep my commandments." - Exodus 20:6
I have a very old
grandmother who is related to me through my mother. She is nearly 75 years old.
My mother loves her a lot and takes good care of my grandmother. It’s natural
that my mom loves her mom. From our childhood, more than the way we loved our
grandfather and the parents of my father, we love our grandmother a lot. We
were closely attached to her and even today we speak to her a lot about
different matters, issues and problems.
The surprising thing
that I found is the 7 year old son of my eldest brother loves my grandmother a
lot than we do. Whenever she needs water he will run through the kitchen and
fill her water bottle with water and bring it back to her. There were times
when my grandmother says that she will die soon; he used to say that she will
live for more years.
At times my
grandmother goes to my elder brother’s house to stay there for some days, he
misses her a lot and always tell her to come back to their home soon. More than
he loves his own grandmother (my mom), he loves my grandmother.
My mother always says
that my grandmother is so lucky to have the love of the generation solely
because of the blessing of her father. My grandmother’s father lived an upright
life and he loved Jesus so much. Daily early morning he used to go to a church
nearby and at those times my grandmother was married.
Whenever he crosses
her house, he used to call her and bless her saying, “My dear daughter, you
will not lack anything and you will have a blessed life.” It seems that he used
to do this for several years. Jesus Christ heard his prayers and blessings, and
He is blessing my grandmother today.
My grandmother’s life
is full of miracles. She was married to a person from another religion and she
started to worship idols. Within few years of marriage she gave birth to 10
children out of which 5 died. This made her body so weak and everyone thought
that she will not survive. During those times her father prayer a lot and
through his prayers God gave her strength and life.
When we were young, I once
remember that my grandmother’s health was so bad. My grandfather died when I
was so young and everyone thought that my grandmother will die. With so much
prayer, my mother brought her to our home and took care of her so nicely and to
this day she is the one who is taking care of her mother.
As my grandmother
remembered all those prayers her father and her daughter made, she gave her
life to Jesus Christ and took baptism. Now when we face any problems and
troubles, she used to call us and say that Jesus Christ will take care of
everything and she is praying for us. Indeed she is a great support to our
family.
Her father lived an
upright life before God and Jesus Christ heard his prayers and blessed his
daughter and even to this day He is taking care of my grandmother in a
miraculous way.
My dear young friends,
God hears the prayers of upright people. He loves those who fears Him and
blesses their generations. Even today if you fear and love Jesus Christ, you
will be blessed and also your sons and daughter will be blessed. You might go
away from this life one day but the Eternal God will take care of your sons,
daughters and their generations. He will protect them and bless them richly.
Surrender your life to
Jesus Christ and dedicate yourself to live an upright holy life before the
sight of the Lord. Jesus Christ will reward you eternally. God bless you.
