WAITING TO RETURN HOME

Bible in a year – Jeremiah 31:15-40; Jeremiah 32: 1-25; 2 Thessalonians 3; Proverbs 25:1-10

“Thus says the Lord: Restrain your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears, for your work shall be rewarded, says the Lord; and (your children) shall return from the enemy’s land.”
Jeremiah 31: 16 (The Everyday Life Bible)

Kathy Buckley is known as America’s first deaf comedian. But she is more than just that. Born  RH negative, she had spinal meningitis as a toddler which led to a hearing loss that could not be diagnosed till she was in grade school. As a teen, she was run over by a lifeguard jeep while sunbathing on the beach which kept her bedridden for five years. She was also molested by her father as a child. After reaching adulthood, she survived cancer twice. Her stand-up routines are hilarious and incredibly poignant at the same time as she intersperses her experiences with inspirational lessons on how to respect, love and honor the life one has been given. She believes in the power of forgiveness and urges others to make good use of the life one is given instead of comparing it with the lives of others. She declares that the Holy Spirit can enable us to do anything! Today, she has not only received many awards in entertainment but is also a loud voice for the deaf community. Her story would have been different if she had chosen to let the various challenges in life defeat her. Certainly, it was her belief in God that kept her going. There are many lessons to be learned from her. No matter what life keeps throwing at her, she resists the temptation to give in to despair. This doesn’t mean that her sufferings were light, just that God gave her the resilience to get through them with His grace. I am sure that at some point of time in her life, she realized there was a purpose behind her sufferings. The disabled community is now benefiting from her experience even as the rest of the world is slowly learning how to deal with disability. The Karen people have seen many sufferings too, often silently and unknown to the rest of the world. Torn from their homes, you press on with life. We can only encourage you to remain in God’s grace as you wait in hope for the day your children may return home.

Reflection

How has waiting for God’s purpose in your life helped you grow as a believer? What should be your heart’s posture in the face of relentless persecution? How can you reflect Our Father’s character in the face of trials?

Prayer

O Lord our Father, help me go through the troubles of today with a light heart. Give me the grace and fortitude to face life’s challenges and fill me with hope for a new day. Amen.
