As I switched on the TV on 26th Jan 2012 at 8:30am after the flag hoisting in our layout, the electronic media was reporting breaking news. The breaking news was really a heart breaking news. A small child of 2 years old undergone an inhuman, brutal handling. The electronic media reported the critical condition that baby is going through ! Every electronic media was prorogating this news on this child has been undergoing. Really sad to hear. Anyone with heart or even any animal will not torture the child like this. Baby doent know what is love, is having its head smashed against wall, Human bites across the body and fractures ! Imagine the trauma the kid may be going through, cant express ! What are we into ? Does we have any values inherited ?
It was an habit, that every morning I used to attend the service at the church during my childhood & teenage days. The reasons might be my house was close proximate to church and other might be the immense faith in God by Parents & Grand Parents. Every day there was clear message delivered by the priest / pastor. As a child, I could not understand much and moreover neither I tried to understand since this was routine. When I was a teenager, I used to argue against many of the things based on the presumptions and the behavior of the elders with whom I used to sit , chat and play.
I can recollect an message from the old testament I heard many a times during the preaching’s & in word of God, the Lord says “ If your real mother forsake you, I will not”. During my adolance stage and teenage, I really doubted on the above sentence. I would categorically argue how come , our own mother forsaking her own child. Is it really possible ? Will not the child cry and mothers heart gets melted down and shower her love ? These questions in my mind got unanswered and I didn’t try much to understand. In most of the movies I used to watch, it was family story and in the story the mothers would love the child like anything ! that was my impression.
I make it to watch Aradana TV from 9:30 to 10:00pm , although there whole day telecast on it,. Actually 8 to 8:30pm was the prayer time with my parents. It brings memories of family prayer – dad sitting and praying in the bed room, and we rest brothers and mummy sit in front of the alter and do our prayer.
As the program continued Dr. Paul Dinakaran said to the gathering taking a quote from the old testament “ If your real mother forsake you, Lord will not”. And shared the part of his testimony, where in a women aborted her child. He made the picture clear – A child in the mother’s womb – still not seen the world is murdered.
Suddenly few of these thoughts came to my mind – What if God did the same ? God start killing the children’s – Then what would be the reaction of mothers ?
I deep in my heart I could feel “ Yes – There is unconditional love & Care showered by God “ maybe we could not understand. I can recollect an incident where in mummy along with the neighbors ran to watch a baby girl, left in the footsteps of the school nearby. A huge gathering and gossips about the poor baby. A poor family went, picked the baby and wrapped it in clothes before anyone could reach. The sad thing is that “Influential” from the nearby locality filed a complaint stating the back ground and took the baby with them so that they can up bring with good social environment. The point of matter is a baby girl was blessed with “care & Love” where her own mother forsaked.
We have mothers keeping the child so young as 3 months old in a crush, where in someone takes care ! Does the care taker provide the same love and affection as of the mother to the kid ? is it not forsaking the baby ??
We have become more selfish, we want to earn – so what ??
Bottom-line
Whatever may be Gods love is unconditional, and blessed are those children who could actually feel the parents love and care.
However are we return the same love and sacrifice our parents made to us, when they are old ? is the point to reflect and act upon !
