Blessing For Todayគំរូ

Joy Of Salvation 

I had many ungodly friends before I was saved. Every day, my parents used to pray for me and would send me off joyfully to college after advising me. But I never bothered to obey them and was walking in the path of evil along with my friends. Fear used to grip me when I came home in the evenings. I used to wonder, “If my parents come to know that I am whiling away my time in the fleeting pleasures of this world without attending college or writing exams, what will happen to me?” These thoughts would terrify me. Every day passed by in this manner. At last, my parents came to know of my bad habits and evil ways. A storm broke out at home. But very soon the Lord led me into salvation. Thereafter, I dedicated my life to the Lord. There was a great joy in me. My parents too rejoiced with me. They became my very close friends. 

In the Bible, we read the story of the prodigal son. When he came to his senses, he realized the love of his father and eagerly returned home. He told his father, “I have sinned against heaven and in your sight. I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Please forgive me.” At once, his father had compassion on him and accepted him. Praise God today for the eternal joy of salvation that you are enjoying. Make note to pray for your unsaved friends. Renew this joy by pondering over it. 

Prayer

“Loving Father, I thank You for coming after me and saving me. Thank You for bringing me into Your fold. I belong to Your covenant and its promises. I will proclaim Your name and glorify it. Lord, draw my friends, family and relatives to You with Your everlasting love. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.” 

‘You are redeemed to be salt and light in the world’
