Recognizing His voice

SUMMARY: The author observes a stray dog that looks sad and dejected until his master arrives and caresses him, causing the dog to come alive with joy. The author compares this to how we can feel lost and downcast until we experience the love and caress of our Lord, who knows us and loves us unconditionally. The author encourages the reader to wait on God and praise Him, who is our salvation and God.

A few days ago, while waiting for the bus, I began to observe a stray dog that remains almost always in that place. He walked from one side to the other, he looked, as we say in Cuba, "burned out." This is synonymous with sick, sad, abandoned, in short, it was the image of desolation. A while passed and suddenly his attitude changed completely, he raised his ears, raised his head and his tail began to move vigorously, I was astonished, since I could not find the cause of this, but it did not take long for the mystery to be revealed to me because advancing towards him, a man stroked his head and patted him on the back. The animal that previously showed a deplorable state, now seemed full of vigor leaping and barking with joy. His master had arrived!
