A Day in Mathura

Persecutions in North India have been gathering steam. In the midst, some of our brothers were affected while in a meeting in Mathura and were imprisoned and case filed. After over four months of imprisonment, they were bailed out. However, their belongings confiscated were not bailed out as these required another lengthy legal procedures. For these, there is a need for guarantor. 

To be one of the guarantors for one of the brothers, I was approached. I also readily agreed. Therefore, for this purpose, along with another guarantor and the brother concerned, we travelled to Mathura. 

It was a new experience for me to drive the car the Lord blessed me with, from Gurugram all the way to Mathura and back, picking and dropping our brothers in Delhi. This was an opportune time for a day's blending in the car. Meanwhile, I got to drive on the Jamuna Expressway at 100+ kmph, the permitted speed on this highway.

Yet, to our disappointment, our documents were not accepted by the court staffs with the excuse that our documents were based outside Mathura which needed a lengthy process of verification and that our original vehicle RCs were all smart cards which have no provision for marking as used, unlike the paper RC. After a long and hectic travel, our documents were returned back. It felt like our day was wasted, but the Lord gave us new experiences in standing one with and for the brothers. Though the legal purpose for which we came to Mathura was unfulfilled, the spiritual purpose of fellowshipping and blending with our fellow brothers were fulfilled. Praise the Lord!

Thank the Lord, all things indeed worked together for good.
