Reflecting on the readings of Wednesday 13th March 2024 on God’s faithfulness, love and compassion, the Parish Priest of Our Lady Queen of Peace Parish, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Rev Fr Sebastian Vincent charged the faithful to return God’s fidelity to them.He noted that some persons blame others when faced with some difficulties, while others feel that God has abandoned them even as he told them to take responsibilities for their actions instead.“God will always be there for you despite your unfaithfulness.”
The priest assured them. “This should give us something to hold on to. This should flash a ray of hope on us that we are not alone on the journey. Never feel forsaken, never feel lost or abandoned, no matter what we are going through. Yes, human beings can fail you, even your family members can fail you.
Friends will abandon you but God will always be there for you. There times you go through a difficult time, after everything you sit to look back, you ask, ‘How did I go through this? How did I make it?’ It goes to tell us that there is a Man behind the scene. You cannot explain completely because God took charge.
God was in control. If this be the case, the onus is on us to do things that will please God. The responsibility is on us to seek to do good at all times. Whatever you do, good or bad will ultimately speak for you on the last day.”
