Today's devotion: Jude 1:22-23
"snatch others from the fire and save them; .." ~ Jude 1:23a
It's Fathers' Day again. It may be very significant to some families, and not to some other families. Many children will feel alert to buy some gift for their fathers: maybe it's because of the guilt of taking the fathers for granted all this while, thus on this day it's a good time to tighten up the loosened bonds before; or some are being really close with their fathers, and they can't wait to put more smile on their fathers' faces on this day by sending them their favorite gifts.
If you are finding a gift for your father who has not accepted Christ today, why not consider the gift of love that God has prepared?
If your father is now sick on the bed, don't cry. Pray for his salvation besides God's healing upon him. Because nothing is more precious than a reunion in Heaven someday. As Jude put it, snatch them from the fire and save them.
If your father is now doing very well in his career and he has been so great a righteous man. But if he hasn't received his salvation, pray for that besides the continual success in all that he does.
If your father is one of those who persecute you for your faith, don't have to fight back but pray for his salvation. God puts you in that family so that you may help Him plant the seeds of salvation in your father's heart. Do our part, and God will make the seeds grow.
Nothing is more valuable than having our whole family reunite in Heaven like how we always do during new year celebrations on earth. And God plans everything well, including placing you in where you are. Some people that God puts around us in our circle of life may only hear the goodnews of salvation through you and you alone throughout their lives. People reject, people persecute. But you will never know how great God can use you to plant the important seeds of salvation in some people's hearts, by the willingness and love you have in reaching out to others.
God bless and Happy Fathers' Day.. It's time to send the greatest gift if life to your beloved father.. ^^
