GOOD MEMORIES by Robert Soto
I Thessalonians 3:6 "But Timothy has just now come to us from you and has brought good news about your faith and love. He has told us that you always have pleasant memories of us and that you long to see us, just as we also long to see you."
Memories are a gift from God the Creator. They help us reflect on the things that have happened in times past. Memories teach us a lesson and remind us of how God the Creator has blessed us in spite of all that has happened. Memories are like a written record in our hearts and minds that God the Creator is still alive and working in our lives. Sometimes memories might be sad because they remind us of a time when we hurt; other times they might make us smile because they remind us of happy times. But regardless of the good times and regardless of the bad times, if we stop and reflect carefully on them we will always see God the Creator at work in our lives.
Paul was given some good memories of a people who stayed true to the instructions of God the Creator. He wrote, "...Timothy...has brought good news about your faith and love. He has told us that you always have pleasant memories of us and that you long to see us, just as we also long to see you." So while Paul could not go to them, his heart brought good memories of times past when he spent some time with them. But in return they received the good memories that were given to them by Paul's life as he affected their lives. Memories, whether good or bad, will always bring the knowledge that God is working in your life and in the lives of others. I think I will stop now and reflect on some good memories. You never know, I might write about them tomorrow.
