MOTHER’S PURE LOVE
A little boy had to walk around two kilometers to his school, through the congested and bustling city.
His mother had arranged a servant to accompany the child – while going and coming back from school – to ensure the child’s safety.
For this the servant was paid 30 rupees a day.
But when the child reached Third Standard of school, he rebelled and told his mother: “I’ll walk myself to school!
And if you give me 10 rupees a day, I will be extra careful.
The rest of the money we can save and we all will be better off!”
After sometime of pleading and begging, the little boy finally got his way.
For the next three years, he walked himself – back and forth from school.
Years later, at a family party, the boy bragged about his independence and boasted to his family…
… about how he had taken care of himself as a little boy, travelling alone to school.
His mother, on hearing the story, laughed and said: “Did you really think you were alone?
Every morning when you left for school, I left with you. I walked behind you all the way.
Every evening when you got out of school, I was there. I set my eyes on you and protected you.
I always kept myself hidden; but I was there and I followed you all the way home.
I was always there for you, especially when you needed me!”
Similar is the case of God as well, in our spiritual walk…
…. We are never left alone
… We are always followed by the Lord!
There are moments when we think we can manage alone
There are other times when we feel there is none with me, in our journey
But the Lord always walks with us…!
He is our “God who accompanies us, in our journey of life!”
GOOD
