RECONCILIATION
Part II
How wonderful it is, how pleasant,
for God’s people to live together in harmony………that is where the Lord has
promised His blessings – life that never ends.
(Psalms 133)
Click here for the earlier part.
When you
accept God, you will be bestowed with the grace to accept yourself and your
partner. The relationship given by God should not be broken.
But, aren't there numerous broken chords that ought to be tied?
You may be a son or daughter not accepted by
your father or mother or it could be that you would not have accepted
them.
It is
time to seal the cracks that you have with your parents as it has erected an invisible
wall between God and you. Unless you strive to correct it, you will observe a
downfall in your life, resulting in you being a unsuccessful individual.
Remember God
does not want to see His beloved children like this.
The more arrogant, stubborn and delay in
correcting yourself, your actions will result in many people’s tears which will
reach to the Lord, who cannot close His eyes to injustice.
By the arrival
of other generation, events turn out to be more serious.
That is
why is it more vital to clear the issues as early as possible and be free from
misery.
God is very thorough with the correction of
His children; and therefore He chose and sends prophets among the people to
deliver His message.
There are
also instances when God uses our little children as His tools to correct and reveal
His teachings and will for us.
When you
observe that your child reacts to your advice adversely, instead of punishing
and reprimanding them, turn to the Lord and ask forgiveness for your wrongdoing.
Be humble and eager to correct yourself.
The Holy
Bible says, “The children are a gift from the Lord, they are a real blessing. The
sons a man has when he is young are like arrows in a soldier’s hand.” (Psalms
127:3-4)
Some parents tend to be too casual when their
little ones get mischievous; forgetting that if they are not corrected at the
proper time, may turn out to be serious offenders in the future.
Every moment God is watching such parents and
warning them.
It is time to bring changes in your behavior
towards God and your child.
Break the walls that were build up because of
you and your attitude, as the wicked world with its fast, foolish growth is
awaiting to swallow your next generation for the reason that if you are the
cause for it, it is truly terrible for you.
Check and reconcile with all the relationships
so as to bring up your child with God’s blessings. Accept Lord Jesus as your Spiritual
Teacher, learn about Him and as parents spend time together with God, because
Lord Jesus says, “I tell you more : whenever two of you on earth agree about
anything you pray for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven.” (Matt 18:19)
You have been trying this for many years, but in
vain. Why?
Take a look back again, there could be much many
more walls put up by you against your blessings.
Don’t think Sister is being too harsh with you. Never! dear ones. I am a lady who sacrificed
her family for the sake of the Gospel as per the Will of God to win families.
It is my responsibility to help you with true
spiritual knowledge, so that families may be saved. By spreading the knowledge
we would be able to help save each other, successfully defeating the cunning
enemy. It is only for your peaceful future and for the salvation of your soul
from the cruel foe fighting against out Heavenly Father, who is so full of pure
love.
If you have ears, listen!
Let’s take a walk down the memory lane to the
early days of your life. Engraved in your thoughts will be your home a dwelling
of your family— be it poor, middle
class, or rich, orthodox consisting of grandparents, parents, siblings, other
relatives etc. surrounded by good neighbors, teachers, friends, and other well
wishers etc;
Where are they now? How are they doing? Are you
in good terms with them ? Do you visit, help or console them often? Are they in
good health or bedridden? Or are you bed ridden? Could be that some are leading
a lifeless and meaningless life? Are they visiting you? Do you invite them or
they keep inviting you? Deep in your heart are you cheerful when they reflect
in your memory?
Where is the good Samaritan who helped you to progress
in your life by bringing up your child? There are other few who emptied
themselves by helping you and your siblings etc;
These are the few among the numerous questions God
your Creator is raising over you!
God wants us to renew every relationship for the
welfare of our descendants.
How can you forget the old home where you were born
and lived with your siblings in limitations? In the absence of your parents,
how you overcame the fear of the heavy thunderstorm by tightly holding your
sibling. The meals she/ he fed you when in hunger, sat, cried and consoled you
when sick in bed, the roads traveled without caring the distance, be it to
school, church etc; games you played together; learning the initial lessons of
sharing and caring for each other; the movies you watched together, etc;
If possible, put a pause to your busy life to
recollect and reconcile with them to make a complete family tree to introduce
them to your children, inviting them to take a dip in the blessings that God
has showered over you.
Our Good Loving Father desires a unity like the Holy
Trinity i.e. the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. A tri-chord will not break easily.
So reconcile with yourself, parents, siblings, children etc and then soon God
will bless you and your dream home.
Certainly it is not easy to reconcile and patch
up the differences because evil has pierced through it. But the Lord Jesus who
is the same yesterday, today and forever can penetrate into our past and remove
the obstacles. Certain incidents may be fresh and cancerous.
You may deny all this, saying that you have
nothing against them.
But analyze for yourself, if you are peace when alone?
Is your soul safe in God’s hands? Are you content when you offer prayer and
sacrifices? Are you able to present peace to your partner and children? Are you
truly guilt free?
The Lord is giving an opportunity to recollect
and repent truly for having forgetting them when life was greener on your side.
Let us make use of this opportunity to discard
any miscommunication and reach out to our siblings and relatives, forgetting what
so ever may be the reason we drifted apart.
The
greatest gift we can give each other is the ‘gift of prayer’.
The
Holy Bible instructs us: “First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers,
requests and thanksgivings be offered to God for all people.” (1Timothy 2:1)
The
Lord is always looking for someone who will to pray. As their names or any
memory comes before you simply lift them to the Lord in prayer. Ask Him to help
them and release His Power and Love on their behalf.
Talk
to the Lord as you would to your dad.
“Father,
I pray, please meet their needs, as Your heart desire be done.”
The
best way to begin reconnecting is by lifting them in Prayer to the Father.
“You
are the God who works miracles; You showed your might among the nations.”
(Psalms 77:14)
Lord, grant me your blessing and let your
light adorn and shine on my family tree.
With Love filled Blessings,
Your Sister in Christ
