Dear Friends.. Greetings to you...
Sometimes our minds run back through the years and yearn for that better time and place—the “good old days.”
But for some, the past harbors only bitter memories. Deep in the
night, they ponder their own failures, disillusionment's, and fantasies,
and think of the cruel hand life has dealt them.
It’s better to remember the past as David did, by contemplating the
good that God has done, to “meditate on all [His] works; . . . muse on
the work of [His] hands” (Ps. 143:5). As we call to mind the
loving kindness of the Lord, we can see His blessings through the years.
These are the memories that foster the highest good. They evoke a deep
longing for more of God and more of His tender care. They transform the
past into a place of familiarity and fellowship with our Lord.
I heard a story about an elderly woman who would sit in silence for
hours in her rocking chair, hands folded in her lap, eyes gazing off
into the far distance. One day her daughter asked, “Mother, what do you
think about when you sit there so quietly?” Her mother replied softly
with a twinkle in her eye, “That’s just between Jesus and me.”
I pray that our memories and meditations would draw us into His presence.
Continue to pray for the unreached as we step towards the Cross...
