Love can heal and fix everything

At the dining table, Mum was still talking to Rose, William and Daisy about who broke the glass. Looking at the orchids and the broken glass, Mum continued to show her patience and gentleness. With a pair of trusting eyes, she was putting her trust and faith onto her children.

“I was playing with my soldiers,” William said. “It wasn’t me,” he declared.

Rose, William and Mum looked at Fluffy. Surely a cat could not express itself by talking, it could only miaow, and purr. “Fluffy, you broke the glass!” Rose scolded fiercely.

Fluffy looked innocent and miaowed again. The room echoed with the miaow of Fluffy. Suddenly, Daisy said softly, “It wasn’t Fluffy. I broke the glass. I’m sorry, Mummy.” William and Rose were shocked. Except for Mum, she smiled and kissed Daisy.

“Mummy… aren’t you upset?” Daisy asked hesitantly. Mum patted Daisy’s shoulder and held her close. Then Mum said, “No, I’m actually very happy because you told the truth.” William and Rose knew how forgiving Mum was while Daisy understood how precious it was to tell the truth. They all smiled at one another warmly.

Message

Love always trusts. Love tells the truth.

Bible verse:

Lord God, you who are always merciful and tender-hearted, slow to anger, always loving, always loyal.(Psalm 86 : 15)

Action

Have you hid yourself in the corner after doing something bad? May you have the courage to say, “I’m sorry!” Forgiveness brings healing. Love one another as yourself.
