TOUCHED BY GOD’S LOVE

I just talked with our housekeeper about the children. She said, “The children usually don’t want to eat vegetables.” I agree with her. It reminds me also about my childhood. Between fish and vegetables, I chose fish. She continued, “We reject the best thing from our parents. They ask us to eat vegetables because it is good for our health.” Very wise advice. Our parents loved us so that they gave good advice to us. No one of them considers the bad things for their children. As a mother or father, they will give the best one. That is the proof of love from parents to children.
Today, we listen to how the Lord loves us. “God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son…” Touched by this expression, I stop for a moment. Put it in mind, remember how it can happen to me. The answer can help me is through the love of our parents. How our mother and father loved us that they gave the best advice for us. That Lord’ love has another consequence. We are invited not to keep that love, but to spread it to the others. Very interesting to reflect on this process. How we can share that love?
Perhaps this Easter season can help us. Just remember the new hope God gave us through the resurrection. We also need to find our way to build up our hope in our daily life. We are in a special time where we do many things from our house and the local community. How we can share that love with others? The others in our life are our brothers and sisters, our neighbour, friends and so on. Please share with them that love. Covered your happiness with the love of God so that your happiness has a meaning for the others. Give also your love when you give something to others during this time. Only by sharing our love, the love of God can reach many people. Have a nice day.
