The Awesome Lender

I quote the Amplified Bible for 2 Corinthians – Ch. 5: Vs. 1 – 6.  This reading taught me of this wonderful lender – that I call my Savior.

We all call Jesus by so many names – Deliverer, Redeemer and Savior to name a few.  I would add this to my name list for HIM – “Awesome Lender”.  The Chapter talks about the reassurance of Our God, assuring us that even if everything on Earth is lost, we have a heavenly abode that is permanent and eternal.  It talks about how we are unhappy since we want to be living in our Heavenly abode and about the human desire to want more from above.  

Now here comes the fun part, God above has already thought about this desire that humans have -  the desire to want more, without loosing what we already have.  God, the book says, has already provided for that – Yes, HE has already made a provision for that and to assure us about HIS mighty plans, HE has also given the HOLY SPIRIT as a surety.  

We all do believe that whatever we have is from HIM, and we are in no way responsible for what we have.  Well if you don’t, the today may be the right day to start thinking and accepting this fact.  God has given us all that we ever wanted and much more.  In addition to that, God has given us this promise of a beautiful place, set for all of us at the end of our time here on earth.  To assure us further, he has given us a surety in the form of the HOLY SPIRIT.  

Let’s put this into perspective for the regular people that we all interact with.  Here we have this guy, say a money lender who you go to for help in times of a cash crunch.  Now, how many money lenders have you seen who give you the money and also give you a surety for repayment? Well, that’s where our GOD is an AWESOME GOD.  Not only has he given us more than what we could ever imagine, he also continues to bless us promising us of a wonderful place in Heaven and gives us a surety for the same.  All that he wants from you and me today is the undying faith and worship – a small token of gratitude for HIS innumerable blessings.

Let us pray:

Lord our loving Heavenly Father, we ask thee to help us increase in our faith,In looking beyond earthly pleasures and looking beyond at the life that Awaits us by your side – At our heavenly abode – Oh what an awesome lender art THOU!!
