Unfathomable Love

And the second (commandment) is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself." – Matthew 22 : 39

Patrick was in jail for the last 8 years. He has an 8-year-old daughter who writes letters to him to motivate him. She is too young and so, her letters too are small. "Daddy, I love you, and I will wait for you until you return.." Her letters are always too affectionate and straightforward.

Patrick has not been able to do anything for the daughter, but now he has decided that for her next birthday, he will save money to gift her something special.

Some days back, he came to know that a daughter of one friend is severely sick and the friend need some money for her treatment. Patrick knew that the amount that he had saved could be used for this treatment. He couldn’t sleep that night. “Why?” His heart was rebelling for something. He prayed that the Lord may heal the friend’s daughter, but why was he hesitant to pay for the money? At this moment, he remembered the verses which he had many times in life – “Love your neighbor as yourself." “How would you have expected from others if this diseased daughter was yours?” He followed the Lord’s way.

After a few days, he got parole and visited his daughter with a small gift. He explained his daughter all that he wished but couldn’t. The daughter’s eyes watered and seemed to have more affectionate than ever before.

How would the lord want to use me to take care of the World?
