SAVED FOREVER

They say that words spoken have the power to bring back even the dead to life. But in a time such as the one we are living in words are written much more frequently than they are spoken. And they still have the same impact. The words that hurt us or the ones we are bothered about nowadays are the ones written about us. The old saying the pen is mightier than the sword has never had greater relevance in the history of mankind than it does now. Look at your most recent text or post on social media, just think for a second if you've hurt someone by that, it may have been for fun, but your tone or intonation isn't heard when you've written something. Tiny things like that can turn into explosions of misunderstanding.  We see a doctor's report and it clearly shows us that we hardly have a few months more to live, but I tell you backspace that sentence on your life in Jesus' name. People may say that you will never be good enough; social media might tell you that you aren...

It was dark and deep, It was wet and cold, Darkness was all I knew, Till something pushed me through. The light was dull, But it was still brighter, Than the days spent, In utter darkness. Slowly, very gradually, Did I move up, But once I saw the blazing light, I wanted to get back down. I couldn't even if I tried, I was young and tender, But as days turned to months, I grew stronger, yearning for the light.

A small seed when planted in the soil, takes a while for the shoot to surface but in that time, it is undecided whether it needs to grow. We too like the seeds get comfortable in our dark spots of life. When life pushes us into the next phase, we are undecided, but when the darkness becomes too dreary we walk towards th...

          We the superior species of the planet always have this sort of tipping pride that we know what we are doing and where we are heading, and we don’t need anyone’s advice or help. But the truth we hardly admit to ourselves is that we are clueless about our purpose, or why we are doing, what we are doing. Admitting the truth is hard, as it chips off a portion of our ego that we strive hard to hold onto. God has put us into a world full of a diversity of people to help us in our great journey of life. He knows we can’t do anything on our own, even though we don’t usually see that part of ourselves unless we are sick or hurting. Each person on planet Earth is born with a purpose and is part of God’s greater plan. People tell us to create our own niche, draw out a unique path for our life, become successful and so on. But who takes the decisions in our life, is it us, is it our parents or our peers? Or do we form the majority of people who take all the deci...
