As i sat at the mall i couldn't help to wonder about the countless souls that walk this place. Malls are a great for people watching and one of my favorite things to do. there are just so many type of people running around ; i wonder about their lives , their identity , and if they know about the love that Jesus has for them. i cant help to wonder about salvation and about hell and heaven and lost souls. It suddenly become a little hard not to feel a little convicted... these are my sisters and brothers, they are 2 are the children of God and call him father. Sometimes i forget that Jesus is father to more than this broken child (me), He is father to all of us. He was the father of Moses and Jacob as much he is the father to all these people i see walking by me - He is a father to all whom he has created and to all who will call him father.
The simple understanding that we belong to one big family should compel us to have compassion towards one another. The homeless man in the corner of the street is not a stranger but a brother, these people in the mall are my brothers and sister, they are family. We don't learn to love strangers, we simply need to learn how to love our family better. Jesus is the father and as His children we have come to understand the best love of all , this same love should be the love we share with one another. this makes me think of the sorrow that this may cause to Jesus as he looks down and see his family broken,separated, fighting wars against one another , judging and hating one another.
This family one day will be united and we will stand before Dad and sing with our brother and sisters. That is our hope, it is our joy, but Gods kingdom is now and our family must get together now. We have something that unites us and it is Jesus the loving father.
