For he says, “In a favorable time I listened to you, and in a day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
Forgiveness, kindness, communications of love, between acquaintances, friends and relatives cannot be left for another day, it may be too late.
Sometimes we, being carried away by the business of life, job and activities, do not have time to talk to close friends and relatives who we may have spent life with. We keep putting it off, with long absences. One day, suddenly, we get the news that the relative died giving no one time to say goodbye.
This situation is familiar to millions of people during covid and happens all the time around the world.
The net result is lifelong regrets and self blame.
Similar situations can happen in our relationship with Jesus and God and His Holy Spirit. God waits for our attention everyday, and every hour. But many of us, keep searching for a convenient time and place.
The learning is that that time and that place may never come. That time and place is NOW, whether to talk to our God, or to people who value us, and need our attention. Parents who long to see us and be loved and valued, as they loved us; Or people we need to show kindness to; or people we need to ask for forgiveness or forgive.
The time is now!
