Blessing For Todayគំរូ

First Love 

Many years back, my father was deputed from his bank to Mumbai, India, to attend a training course. He could not find a proper place to pray alone during his spare time and so one of his friends offered him his office room. So my father used to pray there every Sunday from morning till evening, and his friend would take him back home in his car. On the way back, my father used to share his experiences of speaking with Jesus in that room. One such evening, that friend teased my father, “Next time, when Jesus comes to speak to you, ask Him what He thinks of me.” The next Sunday, my father fasted and prayed as usual. Jesus came and told him, “Son, I know what your friend said to you. When he came to this city for the first time, he was in poverty and had to spend every night on the platform. But every day, as he earnestly sought Me in prayer, I gradually lifted him up. Today, he is in a high position and finds no time to speak to Me. I grieve over him every day.” 

Yes, God loves to speak to you. He is the lover of your soul. In your busy schedule, don’t miss Jesus. He is the very source of your life. Let not your spirit grow dry. Drench it with His presence. Return to the days when you were saved and were jubilant about your salvation. Let your love for Him grow every day. Be filled with His love and diffuse its fragrance to others. 

Prayer

“Loving Father, I thank You for this day You have given me to analyse myself. I regret those days when I ignored Your loving presence. I am sorry that I depended on my own strength. Today, I choose to abide in You always and never to depart from You. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.” 

‘Your love for others will be at its best, only when your love for God is at first place’
