Main Prarthana karta hoon ki Woh Hamen Dekhega
Chote prayaas saamoohik rup se ek bada prabhaav daalte hain, kai vyaktigat cheejon ko badhaate hain jo ham Ishu Masih ke shishyon ke roop mein karte hain.
Phyllo aata aur pistachio se banee yah cookie ek dhanyevaad hai. Yeh Kadado parivaar dwara banaaya gaya tha, jo dashakon se Syria ke Damascus mein teen beikari ke maalik the. Jab yuddh aaya, to ek naakaabandee ne bhojan aur aapoorti ko shahar ke apne hisse tak pahunchane se rok diya. Kadados bhookhe rehne lage. Is niraashaajanak sthiti ke charam par, Latter-day Saint Charities aur Rahma Worldwide ke kuch bahut hee saahasee karmachaariyon ne chote bachchon ke liye doodh ke saath dainik garm bhojan parosana shuru kiya. Ek kathin samay ke baad, parivaar ne apna jiwan shuru kiya-saath hi saath unki beikaari bhi-ek baar fir ek nae desh mein.
Haal hee mein, Girjaghar kaaryaalayon mein kukeez ka ek dibba nimnalikhit sandesh ke saath pahuncha: “Do maheene se adhik samay se, ham Rahma-Antim-dinon ke Santon [dharmaarth] rasoee se bhojan praapt karane mein kaamayaab rahe. Iske bina ham [hai] bhukhe [dee] maut ke ghaat utaar denge. Kripya ise swikaar karen … dhanyevaad ke ek chhote se tokan ke roop mein meri dukaan se namuna. Main Sarvashaktimaan Parmeshwar se aapko aashirvaad dene ke liye kaheta hoon … aap jo kuch bhi karte hain.”1
Yeh kukee krtagyata ka prateek hai aur yaad rakhne ka ek tareeka hai. Yeh aap ke liye hai. Un sabhi ke liye jinhonne samaachaar par ek kahani dekhane ke baad prarthana ki, un sabhi ke liye jinhonne svechcha se sahayata ki ya maanaviye kosh mein dhan daan kiya; is par bharosa karte hai ki kuch achcha hoga, dhanyevaad.
Gareebon ki Dekhbhaal karne ki Divye Jimmedaari
Ishu Masih ka Girjaghar gareebon ki dekhbhaal karne ke liye divye aadesh ke adheen hai.2 Yah uddhaar aur utkarsh ke kaarye ke stambhon mein se ek hai.3 Alma ke dinon mein jo sach tha woh hamaare liye nishchit roop se sach hai: “Aur is prakar, apne nange, bhuke, pyaase, rogee ua jisko sewaa ki avashyaktaa ho usse kabhi bhi nirash nahi lotaayaa; aur unhonne apne hirday ko daan par nahi lagaaya isliye weh sabhi ke prati udaar he, chaahe bugha ho ya yuvaa, chaahe dastaa mein ho ya swantrat, chaahe purush ho ya mahilaa, chaahe girja ka sadasye ho ya nah ho, chaahe jarooratmando ke prati uske man mein aadar ho ya na ho.”4
Girjaghar is aarop ka kaei tarah se jawaab deta hai, jismen shaamil hain:
-
ministering ham Sahayak Sanstha (Relief Society), pristhud parishadon aur kakshaon ke maadhyam se karte hain .
-
upwaas aur upwaas daan ka upyog.
-
kalyaankaaree(welare) khet aur aise sthaan jahaan bhojan ko dirghakaaleen bhandaaran ke liye taeyaar kiya jaata hai.
-
swagat karein immigrants ke kendra.
-
jel mein sahaayata aur sahaayata pradaan karne waala kaaryekram.
-
Girjaghar ki humanitarian ki koshish;
-
aur JustServe app, jo swanswakon(volunteers) ko sewa ke avasron se milaata hai.
Yeh sabhi tarike hain, jo pristhud ke maadhyam se sangathit hain, jaha chote prayaas saamoohik rup se ek bada prabhaav daalte hain, kai vyaktigat cheejon ko badhaate hain jo ham Ishu Masih ke shishyon ke roop mein karte hain.
Puri Prithvi ke liye Prophets ke Paas Bhandaari(Stewarship)hai
Prophets ke paas puri prithvi ka prabhaar hai, na ki kewal Girjaghar ke sadasyon ke liye. Main apne khud hi anubhav se riport kar sakta hoon ki pratham adhyakshta ne vyaktigat roop se aur samarpit roop se yah prabhaar kaise liya. Jaise-jaise jarooraten badhti hain, First Presidency ne ham par ek mahatvapurn tarike se humanitarian outreach badhaane ka aarop lagaaya hai. Weh sabse bade rujhaanon aur sabse chote vivranon mein ruchi rakhte hain.
Haal hee mein, ham unke liye ek surakshaatmak medikal gaun lekar aae hain, jise Beehive Clothing pandemik ke dauraan aspataalon mein istemaal karne ke liye silate hain. Ek medikal ke roop mein, President Russell M. Nelson kee atyadhik ruchi thee. Weh ise sirf dekhna nahin chahata tha. Weh ise aajmaana chahata tha-kaph aur lambai aur jis tarah se yah peeth mein bandha tha, uski jaanch karen. Usne hamen baad mein apani aawaaj mein bhaavna ke saath kaha, “Jab aap apne kaam par logon se milte hain, to unke upvaas, unke daan aur Prabhu ke naam par unki sewa ke liye unhen dhanyevaad den.”
Humanitarian Suchna
President Nelson ke nirdesh par, main aapko bata raha hoon ki Ishu Masih ka Girjaghar Antim-dinon ke Santon ka kis prakaar tufaan, bhukamp, sharanaarthi visthaapan—aur yaha takki ek pandemic—ke prati pratikriya kar raha hai—Antim-dinon ke Santon aur kai logon ki daya aur kai doston ke liye dhanyevaad. Jabki 1,500 se adhik COVID-19 pariyojanaen(projects) nishchit roop se pichle 18 mahinon mein Girjaghar ki raahat ka sabse bada fokas theen, Girjaghar ne 933 praakrtik aapdaon aur 108 deshon mein sharanaarth(refugee)i sankaton ka bhi jawaab diya. Lekin aankade puri kahani nahin batate. Jo kiya ja raha hai uske chote se chote swaad ko spasht karne ke liye main chaar sankshipt udharan saajha karta hoon.
South African COVID ki Relief
Dakshin Africa, ke Welkom ki chaah-saal Dieke Mphuti ne varshon pahele apne maata-pita ko kho diya tha, jisse woh apne teen chote bhaai-bahanon ko dekhbhaal karne lagi thi. Paryaapt bhojan unki liye milna hamesha kathin tha, lekin COVID ise kam laagu karen aur sangarodh(quarantine) ne ise lagbhag asambhav bana diya. Weh aksar bhookhe rahete the, kewal padosiyon ki danshiltaa se mushkil se paryaapt bhojan kar pa rahe the.
August 2020 mein ek dhoop din, Dieke apne darvaaje par dastak se hairaan thi. Usne khola aur do ajnaabi ko dekha- ek Johannesburg mein area ofis kaaryaalay se ek Girja pratinidhi aur dusra Dakshin Africa Department ke Social Development ka ek adhikaari.
Jokhim vaale gharon mein bhojan pahunchane ke liye donon sangathanon ne milkar kaam kiya hai. Girja ke humanitarian fund se kharide gae cornmeal aur anye khaady stepal ke dher ko dekhte hue Dieke ko achaanak raahat ki ek badi bhaavna mehsoos ki. Isse unhen kai hafton tak apne parivaar ka bharan-poshan karne mein madad milegi jab tak ki unke liye sarkaari sahayeta paikej prabhaavi nahin ho jaata.
Dieke ki kahani aise hajaaron anubhavon mein se ek hai, jo aapke pavitr yogydaan ke liye COVID pandemic ke dauraan duniya bhar mein ho raha hain.
Afghan ki Relief Ramstein mein
Ham sabhi ne samaachaaron mein haal ki tasviren dekhi hain: Afghanistan se hajaaron logon ko nikaala ja raha hai. Kai apne antim gantavy ke liye jaari rakhne se pahele Qatar, United States ka, Germany, aur Spain mein havai addon ya anye asthaayi sthaanon par pahunche. Unki zaroorate tatkaal thi, aur Girjaghar ne aapurti aur volunteers ke saath pratikriya di. Germany mein Ramstein Air Base mein, Girjaghar ne diapers, baby fomula, bhojan aur jute ka bada daan diya.
Relief Society(Sahayak Sanstha) ki kuch bahanon ne dekha ki kai Afghan mahilaen apne sir ko dhakne ke liye apne patiyon ki kameejon ka upyog kar rahi theen kyunki Kabul havaai adde par unmaad mein unke paaramparik sir ko phaad diya gaya tha. Kisi bhi dhaarmik ya saanskrtik simaon ko paar karne wali dosti ke kaarye mein, Ramstein First Ward ki bahanen Afghan mahilaon ke liye paaramparik Muslim kapde silane ke liye ektrit hui. Bahan Bethani Halls ne kaha, “Hamne suna hai ki mahilaon ko prarthana vastron ki aavashyakta hoi hai, aur ham silai kar rahe hain taaki weh prarthana ke liye [aaraamadaayak] ho saken.”5
Haitian Bhookamp ki Relief
Yeh agla udhaaran dikhaata hai ki aapko achche ke liye saadhan banne ke liye ameer ya budha hona zaroori nahin hai. Ataara- varsh Marie “Djadjou” Jacques Haiti mein Cavaillon Branch se hain. Jab August mein uske shahar ke paas vinaashakaari bhookamp aaya, to uske parivaar ka ghar un hajaaron imaaraton mein se ek tha jo dhah gae. Apne ghar ko khone ki niraasha ki kalpana karna lagbhag asambhav hai. Lekin us niraasha ke aage jhukne ke bajae, Djadjou-avishvasniye roop se-baahar ki or mud gae.
Sambhandi Press
Usne ek buzurg padosi ko sangharsh karte dekha aur uski dekhbhaal karne lagi. Usne dusron ko malaba(debris) hatane mein madad ki. Apni thakaawat ke bauvjood, woh Girjaghar ke anye sadasyon ke saath dusron ko bhojan aur hygiene kit vitrit karne ke liye shaamil hui. Djadjou ki kahani yuvaon aur yuva vyaskon dwara ki gai sewa ke kai shaktishaali udhaaron mein se ek hai kyunki weh Ishu Masih ke udhaaran ka paalan karne ka prayaas karte hain.
German Baadh ki Relief
Bhookamp se kuch hafte pahele, yuva vyaskon ka ek aur samooh Atlantic mein samaan sewa de raha tha. July mein pashchimi Europe mein aai baadh dashakon mein sabse bhishan thee.
Jab paani kam hua, to Germany ke nadi kinare ke jila Ahrweiler, mein ek dukaanadaar ne nuksaan ka jaayaja liya aur woh puri tarah se abhibhoot ho gaya. Yeh vinamr admi, ek dharmanishth Catholic, ne ek prarthana ki ki Parmeshwar uski madad karne ke liye kisi ko bheje. Agli subah, German Frankfurt Mission ke President Dan Hammon peele Helping Hands baniyaan pahene mishnariyon ke ek chote se baind ke saath sadak par pahunche. Paani dukaanadaar ki divaaron par 10 feet (3 m) tak pahunch gaya tha, jisse kichad ki gahari parat utar gai thee. Volunteers ne kchiad ko hata diya, kaali aur draeevol ko hata diya, aur hatane ke liye gali mein sab kuch dher kar diya. Khush dukaandaar ne unke saath ghanton kaam kiya, chakit rah gaya ki Prabhu ne Apne sewakon ke ek samooh ko uski prarthana ka jawaab dene ke liye bheja tha—aur 24 ghanton ke bheetar!6
“Khair, Main Prarthana Karta hoon ki Woh Hamaara Istemaal Karega”
Girjaghar ke humanitarian prayaason ke baare mein bolte hue, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland ne ek baar tippani ki thee: “Prarthanaon ka uttar diya jaata hai … adhikaansh samay … Parmeshwar dwara anye logon ka upyog kiya jaata hai. Khair, main prarthana karta hoon ki Woh hamara istemaal karega. Main prarthana karta hoon ki ham logon ki prarthanaon ka uttar banen.”7
Bhaaiyon aur bahanon, aapki ministry, daan, samay aur prem ke maadhyam se, aap bahut si prarthanaon ka uttar rahe hain. Aur abhi bhi bahut kuch karna baaki hai. Girjaghar ke baptisma praapt sadasyon ke roop mein, ham zarooratmand logon kei dekhbhaal karne ke liye anubandh ke adheen hain. Hamare vyaktigat prayaason ke liye zaroori nahin ki dhan ya dur ke sthaanon ki aavashyakta ho;8 unhen Pavitr Aatma ke maargadarshan aur Prabhu se kahene ke liye ek ichchuk hirday ki aavashyakta hai: “Main yaha hoon, mujhe bhejo.”9
Prabhu ka Swikaarye Varsh
Luke 4 mein likha hai ki Ishu Nazareth mein aaya, jaha Uska paalan-poshan hua tha, aur padhne ke liye aaraadhanaalay mein khada hua. Yeh Uski nashvar ministry ki shuruaat ke nikat tha, aur Usne Isaiah ki pustak ke ek ansh ko uddhrt kiya:
“Prabhu ka Aatma mujh par hai, kyunki us ne kangaalon ko susmaachaar sunaane ke liye mera abhishek kiya hai; us ne mujhe toote mannvaalon ko changa karne, bandhuon ko chudaane, aur andhon ko drshti praapt karne ka updesh dene, kuchle huon ko chudaane ke liye,
“Prabhu ke swikarye varsh ka prachaar karne ke liye. …
“… Aaj ke din aapke kaanon mein yah dharamshaastar purn hua hai.”10
Main gawahi deta hoon ki dharamshaastra hamare samay mein bhi pura ho raha hai. Main gawahi deta hoon ki Ishu Masih toote hue manon ko changa karne ke liye aaya hai. Uska susmaachaar andhon ki drshti fir se praapt karna hai. Unka Girjaghar bandi ko uddhaar ka prachaar karna hai, aur duniya bhar mein Unke shishye unhen mukt karne ka prayaas kar rahe hain jo chotil hain.
Main dohraate hue apne baat samaapt karta hoon jab Apostle Simon Peter se puche gae prashn ko dohraate hue apni baat samaapt karta hoon: “Kya tum mujhse prem karte ho?”11 Susmaachaar ka saar is baat mein nihit hai ki ham apne liye us prashn ka uttar kaise dete hain aur “[Uski] bhedon ko khilaate hain”12 Hamare Swami Ishu Masih ke liye badee shraddha aur prem ke saath, main ham mein se pratyek ko Uski shaanadaar ministry ka hissa banne ke liye aamantrit karta hoon, aur Main prarthana karta hoon ki Woh hamara istemaal karega. Ishu Masih ke pavitr naam se, amen.
