During these past months, there have been a lot to reflect on while in “man-made” quarantine. Hence, from where I sit, I am relieved that rejection is not the end of anyone’s life. More so because I believe that God is always present and we can turn to God for comfort and peace.

A few years ago, I read a story about a man named Albert Peace. Albert was in love with someone he had always wanted, and who promised to return the love. Sound familiar? Well, they planned to get married and then he discovered he was going blind. The love of his life, that he loved and hoped to share his life with, walked out on him. Yes! She could not stand the thought of living her life with a man whom she knew she might have to take care of for the rest of her life.

I share this piece of the story to encourage each of us that though our hearts could be broken, our dreams shattered, we can hold onto our faith in Jesus Christ and have hope in something new and greater than any person, place or thing can offer. So, my dear sisters and brothers, in the midst of tragedy, trials and tribulations, loss of loved ones, stay focus and return to the greatest love; the one that is lasting and the one you can never lose. Most of all, remember the one who will never reject nor forsake us. And during those dark valleys’ times, read or pray the words of a famous hymn penned by Albert Peace.

“O Love that wilt not let me go,

I rest my weary soul in thee;

I give thee back the life I owe,
That in thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.”
As we pray, let us turn our sorrows over to God, knowing and believing that joy comes in the morning; a promise of making something more beautiful out of our individual lives and our life together as the faithful community of Fisk Memorial United Methodist Church in Natick Massachusetts.

Therefore, as the servant-leader I stand to affirm the promises of God, to encourage with empowerment that we can walk through all valleys and meet all challenges because God is with us. We do not walk alone but we walk together.
