Friend in need

As I was going through Job, I was grieved of how this man bore it all. Job had lost all in a matter of 5 - 10 minutes I guess. Yet he was silent, worshiping God in his grief.

From a King/Prince, he is now sitting besides a trash heap and scratching his sores. Had he been rich, he would have been attended by his children, servants, wife and doctors with a soothing oil. He remained silent for 7 days after he was striken by the disease, worshiping God in his grief.

His friends came to him. I like the phrase "made an appointment". It has been almost 2 years, I had been away from the Lord. I was in grief too, many a times I used to pray like Job, cursing the day I was born and longing to die. In these days I longed for the my dear friends Cyril and Jon. I used to ask, why did Cyril go away, had he been here, I could have cried out aloud on his shoulders. Had I communion with Jon, I would held his hands high in the air, and asked God for forgiveness.

Though I had been a wayward son, I always used to pray for you - Cyril and Jon. I prayed, that you may never leave the Lord like me and asked the Lord bless you with the richest of gift.

Cyril and Jon, if you are reading this brother, pray for me too.
