God's protection - What happens when we lose God’s protection


God’s protection
(2101132156-2210,2201131933-1952)

God’s protection
already surrounds us
our whole life.
God’s protection
holds things in order after all.
God’s protection
gives a feeling of comfort
in the midst of a cold
and unmerciful world.
God’s protection
gives love to everyone
no matter how good or bad
he may be.
God’s protection
is incomprehensible.
By now we have taken it
for granted
and expect it all the time.
But this world is ruled
by the destroyer.
We can clearly feel
his misdeeds as well.
However it often happens
that when he acts out
we blame God for it,
and say that we cannot
believe in him.
But just imagine
a world without God’s protection
from the constant evil
and overwhelming attacks
of the destroyer!
Without God
the extent of the destruction
would not have a limit
or an end.
Without God
there would be
no recuperation or healing.
Without God
there  would be a lack
of love, joy, peace,
grace, and mercy
in every aspect.
Without God
not even the evil person
would have good moments.
There will come a time
when God withdraws
his protection
from this earth.
Only then will all people
who wanted to live
without God
get what they had asked for
and feel the full dimension
of the extent of the destruction.
Be thankful for God’s protection.
Be thankful that today
God is still merciful
towards the godless person.


Theme:   What happens when we lose God’s protection

But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.  (Luke 6:35-36 NIV translation)
