SAVED FOREVER

This quote struck me like a thousand mega volt lightning. A pigeon is often seen sitting on statues, pecking at it, making the entire place dirty, and the poor statue can do nothing about it.  How many times in life, like the pigeon do we knowingly or unknowingly hurt other people, who cannot stand up for themselves? How many times are we hurt by others and just stand helplessly, or nonchalantly like a statue? Being statues with beating hearts when everything comes crashing down in life is an easy choice we make. However to follow Christ's example let us become people who although have been hurt by 'pigeons' in the past are stepping forward to clean off the dirt on the statues. The next time we see others being hurt by pigeons let us step in to shoo away those pigeons. But be aware as to not personify into those annoying pigeons ourselves.  Only Jesus can make us wholly clean so let us trust Him to heal our internal pain. No matter what people label us, or ridicule us, we n...

          A lonely grey cloud was seen roaming around the sky. The sky was radiant and blue. The grey cloud looked around in wonder as it was his first day in the sky. He was so tiny and small. He went to the sun but the sun spewed angry rays as soon as the cloud got close. The cloud flew as fast as he could and hid away.  Next the cloud went to the white clouds but as soon as he came close they just made fun of his dark color. They said you don't belong in the deep blue sky, and the tiny grey cloud felt so disheartened. It was his first day and he really was looking forward to make new friends. He was angry because he was made fun of and he puffed up.  As the day drew to a close, he was so sad that no one wanted to be his friend and he started crying. Big drops of tears fell and he cried his heart out. The stars woke up and saw the tiny cloud crying, they called him, he looked up and saw that they were pointing to the earth. He wiped his teary ey...

The future we look forward to, Is like a fog, We may take the right rue, Or we may end up in a bog.  Life is like a mist,  Everything ahead may seem uncertain,  But it can change in a twist,  Like light streaming in through a curtain.  But even the thickest mist, Of doubt, hopelessness and grief, Can be pierced through, By the light of God's promises. At every crossroad of life we may feel like we are engulfed in a mist, just wishing and hoping that the decisions we took were right and if we should move forward or wait for the mist to clear. Asking Jesus to guide your decisions in life is a great way to clear that mist. Our God is leaning over to hear from you and be the beacon of hope in your life. Align the decisions of your life in accordance with His Word(the Bible) and see the mist disappear before your very eyes.  Credit- 'A rumour of sunshine' is a phrase taken from the novel Book Thief by Markus Zusak, which was the inspiration behind this blog post...
