There was a car accident on my way home from work yesterday. I could see lights flashing from afar and silently mumbled to myself how I should had left the store earlier. As expected, the traffic turned into a crawl in less than a minute. An ambulance sped with the siren howling on the other side of the highway en route to our side to get to the scene. The clock in the car told me that I had been stuck on the highway for at least 10 minutes now. I was not happy and felt annoyed.

Finally the cars were moved to the side and the flow of cars resumed slowly. As I drove past the scene of the accident, a sense of guilt suddenly washed over me. This was a car accident! People could have died! Their souls might be lost forever! What if they did not know Christ?? I repented to the Lord then and there and prayed that those involved in the unfortunate event were safe. That they still have a chance to know God if they're not His Children already.

I was glad to see that the cars seemed to be in relatively good shape, and I sincerely hoped that the people were fine. May the Lord calms and comforts them, and embraces them with His love and mercy.
