“The Lord is good to all, And His tender mercies are over all His works." - Psalm 145:9
Today as I was getting
ready to go to my workplace my little daughter was playing in the hall. She was
nearly 15 months old and I went near to her and asked for a kiss. She didn’t give
one and went away as if she didn’t hear my request. Few minutes passed and she
was on her own world playing.
Finally as I was about
to leave, I took my bag and called my daughter and told her bye. She looked at
me from the place where she was standing and then she came near to me calling
daddy. As I knelt near to her she just came forward and gave me a kiss and then
moved away to play. I had never expected that and her love touched my heart so
deeply that I could not take my mind out of it. To be frank, I felt like crying
at that moment when she remembered what I asked for and did that in a wonderful
way.
She is a perfect
blessing in my life given by God to me through which I am loving my life and
having a desire to live.
From my young days I
faced few problems which affected my mind mentally. I always had a great fear,
depression and anxiety in my mind. I struggled physically, spiritually and
mentally. During those days I lost the desire to live in this world. There was
a particular church in the town where I live and I used to go to that church
several days to pray asking God to take my life.
Though God gave me
good parents, brothers and friends, I could not take my mind out of that
depression. God knows what I was going through and He told me that I have to
marry according to His will so that His peace will overflow in my life. He gave
me His grace to find a wife according to His will and He blessed my marriage
life.
When my wife got
pregnant, God gave so many promises. Every one of my loved ones who were around
me heard those promises and thought that I will get a baby boy. Everyone
believed that strongly. They were the ones who were praying for me day and
night. They were not against a baby girl but yet they believed in such a way.
But God knew what my
greatest desire in this world was. He knew that I longed for a baby girl. He granted
my wish and I got my daughter. That day no one knew how happy I was. Jesus
Christ filled me with joy and laughter. From that day on whenever I see her, I
had fallen in love with her so deeply and madly.
There were times I
face tough situations and when I reach home and see her face, God’s peace fills
my heart through her smile and behaviour. I know God’s purpose in my life that
I have to do great things for Him. And she is a perfect gift from God which He
gave to make me strong in this world. Whenever she repeatedly calls me daddy I
get a strong desire to live in this world. Indeed she is God’s perfect gift and
I thank God for giving her in my life trusting that I will take good care of
her.
Bible says that God is
good to all and His tender mercies are all over His works. I know my daughter
is the work of God’s hands and through her I understood the greatness of God’s
tender mercies. Once I had thought that I will never have happiness in my life
but today God has blessed me in all aspects. He will do that to you.
My dear young friends,
I was not at all worthy to live in this world for I did so many things against
God but yet He made me to live in this world. He will do much more greater
things in your life. Jesus Christ will do good to you. His mercies will be upon
you and He will never forsake you. He has greater things in store for you. Do
not hate your life for anything. He will do good and will fill you with joy and
laughter.
