Unmerited Favor
The first thing that caught my eyes was the evening sky and I thought how good it was to be alive. There is this beauty about the evening sky that makes me stand in awe of His creation or artwork.
Most of the time when I step out of the gate (of my student’s house), I know there’s unmerited grace and favor. I feel ‘served’. There’s favor I’ve never experienced before such as:
- Getting a lift to the MRT when the sky turns dark
- Food served when I’m not hungry
- A share of international eateries
- Chicken soup and prata for dinner when I rushed down
- Kilos of mangoes and a lift because the mangoes were heavy
- Books purchased for my reading pleasure
I am only a teacher and I’ve done nothing to deserve all these. But I gladly receive them because I know He is the Giver of all good things, and because I did pray for favor before Him and before Man. He does it in an overwhelming manner so that I know it is Him wooing me. Tell me how could I not give my heart to the One who’s ever good and faithful to me, who shows me His love through the people around me?
