Daily Bible Reflections - February 25,2013


BITTEN HAND
 
But yours, O Lord, our God, are compassion and forgiveness! Yet we rebelled against you. – Daniel 9:9
 
Celine was angry with her nephew, whom she helped raise. He spoke to her disrespectfully when she expressed her disappointment to him over something wrong he had done. Her nephew remained defiant even after she explained why she was displeased. The result: Celine stopped talking to her nephew, while the latter continued to be unmindful of his aunt’s feelings.
“Never bite the hand that feeds you,” Celine maintains.
I cannot blame Celine for her anger, more so because the nephew never apologized for his actions. But to harbor this anger for an extended period of time hardened Celine’s heart, and she became indifferent to her nephew.
Imagine if God were like this towards us. To have an indifferent God means to be stripped of all blessings, big and small. What a miserable life we would all be living! But praise God that He is a God of compassion and forgiveness, no matter how difficult we can be. It is His unconditional love that melts hardened hearts.
Celine admits she has a lot to learn about love and forgiveness. For now, it’s good enough that she is aware of it. God is surely at work. Nova Arias-Sevilla (nova.svp@gmail.com)
 
Reflection: Are you harboring ill feelings at the moment? Lift them up to God.
 
To love like You, to be forgiving like You, this I pray today, O God. Amen.
 
Blessed Sebastian of Aparicio, pray for us.
