Published by I was a little scared t first but when they noticed this, one smiled a t me while the other said gently, “go on, your father is waiting for you”.
As I entered the throne room, the beauty of the place awed me. Then I saw him, sitting on a golden throne, beckoning on me to come over and sit on his laps. When I sat down he asked me, “child what is it that you have always wanted to ask me. I said him “what is it that surprises you most about we youths”. He smiled and said, “that they re always in a rush to grow u and have their way every time and when this leads to problems or heart breaks for them, they blame me or the devil for it”. I kept quite for some time, which was exactly the kind of person I was. But somehow he knew what I was thinking; because he looked at me and said, its okay child.
Then he said, “I know that they say experience is the best teacher but if the youths pass through an experience that they don’t survive, how will they now learn from that experience?
I know that being a youth could be so confusing especially with the temptations and pressures resent in the world today but is not n excuse to sin. The youths have to make up their minds never to compromise no matter the situation they find themselves in”.
We were both quite for sometime then, with tears rolling down his face he said, “How I wish the youths could always rely and trust in me instead of their friends, books or movies. Only then will I be able to guard them through the storms of life”.
Then he looked at me and said, “I’ve always loved them and no matter what mistakes they’ve made I’m always willing to forgive them, if only they can trust totally on me. The balm of Gilead is always ready to heal every broken hearted”.
Then, memories of the times I had compromised and sinned started passing through my time and I felt so bad. I couldn’t hold back the tears any more and so I broke down and cried. “I’m sorry lord” was all I could say. But gently he wiped my tears with the back of his palm and said to me, “Its okay child, don’t cry”.
When I got down from his laps, he said to me with tears still rolling down his face, “I love you child, tell the youths I love them too. But the have too make u their minds to consecrate their lives to me and rely totally on me. No matter what mistakes they’ve made I can make everything new. It’s not too late for them, the balm of Gilead is always ready to heal every broken heart”.
