Found: Freedom from an injustice
One Friday afternoon, I received a message that my son and a classmate had been apprehended by members of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) and Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA). The classmate had been found in possession of a prohibited drug, and my son had been arrested with him even though he was innocent of any wrongdoing.
I was so shocked I could hardly breathe. The Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act in our country is taken very seriously, and unfortunately enforcement is not always just. I wondered how my son would live after what happened.
Then I recalled one of my favorite Bible passages: “Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord” (Exodus 14:13). I felt this was a message from our divine Father-Mother, God, telling me to be mentally still and trust Him. At that moment, deep inside me, I felt assured and confident that God is in charge of His entire creation, and that all in God’s kingdom is well.
