Ever wonder why the world is so empty of compassion, ever wonder why people are reduced to numbers in a computer, ever wonder why people live hollow lives devoid of peace?
God is the only who can truly answer those probing questions and over the years his tried over and over to give humankind the answer. Here is one among all his attempts - - - Ask Yahweh for rain in autumn and at the time of the spring rains. Yahweh is the one to make the storm clouds. He will give them showers of rain to each, grass in his field. Since the domestic idols have talked nonsense, and the diviners have seen false signs, and dreams have purveyed delusions, affording empty comfort, that is why they have strayed like sheep, in distress for want of a shepherd.
{Zechariah 10:1 - 10:2 NJB}
We live in a world filled with multiplicity of gods each seeking to obtain a portion of our lives, each leading us into the empty abyss of hell. Yet in the midst of all the gods an empty cross and an empty tomb stand as living symbols of a better life, of a better world presented to us by a God who cares for us not himself.
JOY is not the absence of despair nor is
… HOPE the absence of doubt nor is
…… LOVE the absence of compassion nor is
……… PEACE the absence of conflict but each is a living resource from the presence of Jesus Christ!
Who-so-ever has arms let them reach for Jesus…He’s waiting!
