God did not come to the world as Christ for the sake of one nation alone, but for all the nations across the globe.
When I think about the relationship between parents and their children, it reminds me of how God interacts with us humans. Just like loving parents that will often make sacrifices, be it their time or money, to ensure the well-being and protection of their children. They dedicate their lives to helping their children experience the great love of God. Even when children make mistakes and go astray, parents never cease to love them because they are their own flesh and blood. As humans, we understand that love surpasses any words or material possessions we can offer our children, and that is why we continue to love them unconditionally.
Here at our community, we have a few individuals who don't have a permanent place to call home. One of them is a man who appears to be around 30 years old. At first, he would completely ignore us whenever we tried to have a conversation. But one day, he finally gave us his name, so let's call him John. Yesterday, as we were taking a walk at the beach in the late afternoon, we spotted John once again sitting on the promenade. Dennis decided to approach him and asked John his surname, which John gave. Dennis then asked how he was doing, to which John simply replied, ‘good.’ Dennis also asked him if he needed anything, but John said he didn't.
As Dennis got up to leave, he placed his hand on John's shoulder, looked him in the eyes, and said, ‘John, we love you.’ It struck me how powerful it is for one human being to express love and care for another, especially someone who is a stranger and have nothing to call his own. This really got me thinking about how much God must love us! Who created us, came as Saviour for all, and are always with us...even if we do not acknowledge that.
Let’s always remember that showing love and kindness can have a huge impact on someone’s life, even if they may seem down and out, unfamiliar to us. So let’s keep spreading that friendly and loving attitude, knowing that our words and actions can make the world a different place.
God holds the peoples of this earth close to His heart, showering all with love.
My purpose, as another human is to assist people in discovering and embracing the grace that God offers. I want to help them live in the abundance of that grace, both in the present moment and for all eternity.
And that is why I pray for the people of Palestine and Israel, Russia and Ukraine….that we all will live in peace, love and harmony with each other as a family equally created by God ❤️❤️
