“and in the wilderness where you saw how the Lord your God carried you, as a man
carries his son, in all the way that you went until you came to this place.” –
Deuteronomy 1:31
Yesterday I met an old
lady whom I knew for quite a few years. When I joined my workplace years back I
saw her for the first time. She was a constructional worker and she used to
work in the adjacent floor of my room. I had never spoken much to her but yet
we share smiles whenever we cross each other. For the past few years I could
not see her much.
After a long time I
had met her yesterday and she was so happy to see me. We spoke for few minutes
and she shared her life story with me. She told that she came to that
particular city 23 years ago with two little children.
She had a great fear
that how she will raise her children in that new city. Though she was anxious,
she surrendered her future in God’s hands. She got a little income but yet her
faith upon God was so big. God blessed her richly and she said that her two
children studied well and got married now.
One of the children
was working in the organization where I work. She said that only because of God’s
grace she could live in that city for 23years and could raise her children to a
good level though she was an ordinary constructional worker. I have attended both
of her children’s marriage and I know God has blessed her family richly.
My dear young friends,
you might be anxious about your future. You might feel like that there is no
one around you to help you. As you struggle financially you might think that it
is impossible to live in this world. Do not worry. Your Heavenly Father Jesus
Christ will carry you as a father carries his son. He will carry you in His
arms. You will not struggle anymore. You will be comforted and blessed. God
will never leave you nor forsake you.
