Few days back I was waiting on a bus
stop for my college bus. Suddenly it started raining. I ran into a shed to
avoid getting drenched. Soon I saw the bus coming towards the stop and I ran so
fast to get into the bus. As I went near to the entrance, the driver applied
the brake and the entire water which was on the top poured through the outlet
which was near to the top of the bus entrance. I stood exactly below the outlet and the
driver asked me to move away quickly but it was too late and I could do
nothing.
So I got completely drenched and
entered into the bus. There were two ladies who had seated in the front of the
bus. In the beginning they showed sympathy on me for what had happened to me,
then one of the ladies criticized my mistake and told the driver that she would
have got escaped if she was there on my place and then they passed the news to
the third lady who entered the bus later.
No way had their reactions or words
brought any comfort to me nor did it change the situation of my life.
Many a times in our life when we go
through failures in our worldly and Spiritual life, some people look to us with
sympathy, some condemn us for our mistakes, some will boast about their own
strength and some will talk about our mistake with others and will make fun of us.
But no way will their words or deeds help us.
You might be broken in your heart as
someone around you is making fun of your failures. Everyone around you might be criticizing your mistake and they might have failed to comfort you or lift you.
Because of the behavior of those around you, today you might be living in
rejection and pain. Do not get discouraged.
Psalmist says in
Psalms 116:6-9, “The Lord preserves the simple; I was brought low and He saved
me. Return to your rest, O my soul, for the Lord has dealt bountifully with
you. For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet
from falling. I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living.”
People around you might reject you
but Jesus Christ will preserve and protect you. You might be brought low by
your own loved ones but Jesus Christ will save you. He will deal with the
situation of your life and He will deliver you from all evil. So don’t get
discouraged for you have a God who loves you than anyone else in this world.
In John 8:3-11 we read about a
incident in which a woman caught in adultery was brought by Pharisees and
Scribes to Jesus Christ. Pharisees and Scribes caught that woman in adultery.
It’s true that she had committed a mistake. People around her condemned her and
wanted her to be stoned to death. With all this thoughts they brought her to
Jesus Christ. Jesus asked someone who had no sin in his life to throw the stone
at her first. Till that moment, everyone around her behaved as if they are so
holy. No one came forward to throw a stone at her as their life was also filled
with sin. Those sinners went away but there stood Jesus Christ who has no sin
in His life.
He has the right to throw the stones
at her but He says to her that He will not condemn her. That is the love of
Jesus Christ upon everyone.
My dear young friends, people around
you might have surrounded you and they might throw stones of accusation, stones
of advice, and stones of wrong words at you to put your soul to death. There
were times you might have hated yourself and you might have felt that you
should throw a stone at yourself.
Do not hate yourself and do not look
to what other person does to you. Today run to the presence of Jesus Christ and
surrender the situations of life to Him. He will confront your enemies and He
will protect you. Also He will never condemn you. He will give you His grace to
you so that you will live a successful life.
Remember, only Jesus Christ can help
you and He alone can change the situations of your life for good. Trust in
Jesus Christ. He will raise you. God bless you.
