Job 6; 24 “Cause me to understand wherein I have errored.”
In God’s ways is rest to the weary soul. Sometimes you need to walk or run to find the rest in Him.
On the eve of departure, my two little girls were cuddling up on my lap. It was daddy time for them! We were happily exchanging hugs and love when the thought occurred, that this was the first time in many days that I am spending my time with them like this. From trips to Andaman and Nilgiris and the local mission work and falling sick, I hadn’t made the time to spend with my wife and kids. As we spent this family time joyfully, I realized I was leaving the next day and I prayed that I might show more love and understand them better by being with them more often. Those moments are precious, and it is in those that you grow as a father and a husband, and your growth will influence those around you.
On board the flight to Ahmadabad and after that the long journey ahead to Banswara by van, so many things crowding my mind! Mostly taken care of, but still unable to get my thoughts from home to focus on the people God is sending me to. Prayer mixed with so many distractions and a slight concern for my recovering health.
We reached Ahmadabad, and as I sat in the van, joy and peace filled my heart. We were travelling and the journey ahead was long and hard with bumpy roads, but I felt at home instantly as if this was my life (I am supposed to live) and suddenly the comfortable life back home seemed dull and boring.
After nearly 7 hours of journey with a pit stop for a punctured tire in-between thru bumpy roads, we finally made it, but still fresh by his grace. Shepherd of my soul, lead me as you will. Three places to go tomorrow and two meetings to preach, Oh God, grant me Thy grace, that every moment I spend with them, I may impart life and truth of eternal significance, for I may never meet them again!
