“You understand that if you want to be My instrument, you will have to respect the same freedom in those that I will place on your way. “
This sentence touches me this morning, because I understand more and more that we are really instruments in the hands of the Lord. For some, this may seem like a form of slavery, but for me it’s not at all the same thing. I like to think that this God whose unconditional love I discovered works for my well-being and waits for the right moment to place the person who will enlighten me on my path.
This morning, I borrowed my son’s car and I realized the poor condition of his tires and the danger he placed himself in while driving. When I returned, I “scolded” him and gave him the money to change his four tires.
Tonight, before going back home, a person who has been working at my home for many years and who had heard everything said: “Madam, do not forget to thank the Lord for allowing you to take your son’s car this morning, to be aware of the danger he was in and to have been able to do what was necessary to avoid the worst.” I was stunned because I had not thought about it […]. Reading the “Thought of the Day”, I doubly thanked this person. I realized that it was God who had put her on my way to give me this beautiful and pious advice.
I have joy in my heart for this teaching!
