When the world
seems hopelessly torn apart by hate, wars, self –centered behavior by all
around us, that is the time mankind needs our Lord most of all. For our Lord represents the opposite of those
things. We do not cry out for help when
seas are calm. It is when the storm is
upon us that we cry out. If you have our
Lord in your life when the storm hits, you take the waves in a calmer more
confident manner. You lay your fears at
the foot of the Lord for him to dispense with.
You are never alone when you have Jesus in your life. You may forget his spiritual presence when you glide across silk smooth seas, but he is there even then. It is a little misleading when we say, …when you have the Lord in your life...for he is always there. You need merely to have faith and pray to him. Make it complicated as so many have endeavored to do, but that is not necessary. He doesn’t make you jump through hoops and crawl on your hands and knees to him. A person gets on their knees owing to our Lord’s pure love and complete goodness. It is an involuntary reaction to his overpowering presence of love and goodness. If you can love, how much more can God love. If you can be good, how much more can God be good. So much so that he gave us His only son, Jesus Christ, to die on that cross to forgive us our sins. Surely, we can but give him a little of our abundant love and goodness in return. This is the first day of the rest of eternity as Christians.
Remember, when one conquers the world with love, there are no losers, only winners.
