Horror = Shock = Realisation of Grace

Yesterday as I walked back home and was about to enter my galli, I got the biggest horrifying shock of my life. I heard a puppy crying near a drain. Thinking that it has fallen into the drain I thought to take a look and bring it out on the ground lest it should drown. Beside the drain are a cluster of trees and beside the trees there is a small kirana (general) shop.

As I looked into the drain I did not find any puppy inside it but rather I found about 4 new born puppies cuddled together, whimpering, to keep themselves warm in the rain. Right next to the puppies sat the mother eating something. A closer look told me that she was eating one of her new born babes. I tried to shoo the mother away but instead of running away she decided to pounce up on me. Thankfully the shop owner saw it in time and threw stones at her, warned me to get back home.

After returning home, I saw my own dog. Somehow I couldn't bring myself to pat her and pamper her last night. What I saw on the street prejudiced me against dogs and I ended up telling my dog that her species disgusts me. At that very moment a small voice in my ear, a small but firm voice, asked me if a dog's act of Nature can disgust me so much then how much should each sinful act of mine disgust my God.

I shunned my dog for what another dog had done but God never foresook or shunned me even for the horrifying sins I myself commit.

This incident was a good reminder of God's abundant grace and protection in my life and I'm forever thankful for it. He loves me just as I am. The Lord Is My Shepherd
