Rendezvous of the Almighty and man


Imagine yourself sweating it out in exerting every effort just to have a personal glimpse of one of the most powerful and influential persons named in the Forbes magazine.  You will be subjected to rigid background check. You have to make an appointment, which will give you a slim chance to meet this human deity.


I know of Someone more powerful who is always available, patiently waiting to talk with you with much eagerness than you can ever imagine. He is the Author of your life. Sometimes man thinks that the most fulfilling spectacular event in his life is to have a conversation with one of the top most powerful and influential people in this world. Little did he know that having participated in an accolade is nothing from having a conversation with God, the highest being.

In our wildest dream, we would sometimes aspire to personally meet some celebrity or dignitaries. What if you were invited by the greatest leader in the world? What if you will have a lunch together be it in the White House or a royal palace? And the event will be covered by the media and telecast. That would be a privilege, an honor, a milestone in your life.  But on your way, a street-child summons you inviting you to his dilapidated hut? What will you do?

God is restless until we rest in His bosom. Remember the parable of the lost sheep? God’s loving embrace enables us to feel the care and unconditional love that only He can offer. Our Christian life means the inseparable love of God and of our neighbors..

When God prompts us, there's no way we will not give in. We can always readily sacrifice the entire "Isaacs” of our life. There is nothing to lose, everything is a gain. What if He also wants us to be the new Zaccheus or transform us from Saul to Paul? Definitely, there will be a joy in heaven. Every angel will celebrate.

Why are many people ashamed to speak about the Most High, our Lord Jesus? The King of Kings. The Lord of Lords. The Author of our life. What if He will also be ashamed of us before His father? We can then become an outcast.  Let every day be, thus, an appointment, a rendezvous, with the Eternal Father.
