Recently I took Jacob, my 4 year old, and Bella, my 2 year old, to get the flu shot. We arrived at Kaiser in San Dimas and found a long line and took our place at the end. Jacob has received the flu shot a few times now and had a hunch about what was going to happen. He asked me, "Am I going to get a shot?" I tried to ignore him, but he persisted. Finally, I answered him, "We'll see."

A few weeks ago I went to Seattle, Washington on business. I left on a Wednesday and when I arrived it was the evening. My husband Gustavo had his group with Pastor John that night and called me when he got home. He asked me if I had my Bible because he wanted me to read the text of the new message starting on Sunday that was from Joshua. I told him that I didn’t have my Bible, but I knew that every hotel room has a Bible. So, I decided to start reading before I went to sleep. I took out the Bible from the drawer and opened it to Joshua. Even though the Bible looked like it had never been opened, it seemed thicker towards the New Testament. I then opened the Bible to Ezekiel 45–46 and there in the middle was a bunch of cash. I thought it was strange. I told my husband what I found, and he could not believe it. I counted it up and found that there was $220. As I counted, I wondered who it belonged to and if I should turn it in to the hotel. I knew the areas of Seattle and Bellevue had plenty of money, and this hotel was in the middle of those areas. I figured whoever left this wanted to show that God does exist, and I was the right person to find it since I would know what to do with it. As I thought about it, I realized that it belonged to God, and that the only way to return it was to pass it along to somehow who really needed it.

Our God is more concerned with justice for his children than he is for his own peace and quiet.

Like the kids, God's instructions for life are pretty straightforward. The kids were asked to wait and they would receive another marshmallow. Simply put, God's instructions for me are to love Him and love others (Luke 10:27). Simple enough, right? Wrong!

If the way I love my kids is the way God loves me, than I am in trouble. My love is finite, imperfect, and not always in control of my actions. But God's love is not that way.
