SELFLESS LOVE

Selfless Love

‘Out of the mouth of infants and nursing babies you have prepared praise’?” Matthew 21:15-16

Alandra who was eight, quite intelligent for her age refused to have her breakfast one day. Her Mom was worried and asked her for the reason. Alandra said she would eat if her wish would be fulfilled. Her mom though she would ask for some gift and gave her a promise. Alandra said that she want to have her hair shaved off. Mom was not able to accept that because Alandra had a beautiful hair. Since she had promised to fulfill her wish she accepted and Alandra’s head was clean-shaved. Next day mom went to drop Alendra at school. Alandra walked towards her classroom with a boy alighted from a car with his head shaved. Alendra‘s mom thought maybe, that was the in-stuff. Just then a lady got out of the car and said “Madam, your daughter Alendra is great indeed!” “That boy who is walking along with your daughter is my son Anderson. He is suffering from leukemia.” She paused to muffle her sobs. “Anderson could not attend school for the whole of the last month. He lost all his hair due to the side effects of the chemotherapy. He refused to come back to school fearing the unintentional but cruel teasing of the schoolmates. Alendra visited him last week and promised him that she would take care of the teasing issue. But, I never imagined she would sacrifice her lovely hair for the sake of my son! Madam, you and your husband are blessed to have such a noble soul as your daughter.”

Alendra’s mother was moved to tears and thought that her little Angel had taught her how selfless real love is!”

Out of the mouth of babes and infants, you have established strength because of your foes, to still the enemy and the avenger. Psalms 8:2

And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. “Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea. Matthew
