THE ROOM FOR SUCCESS

DISCLAIMER : I only own the quote and the story and NOT the cover image used .I have edited it for representation purpose only.

“Obscurity isn’t the dead end of the road, it’s an indication of room for success.”

Steve was quite excited about his new bicycle, which his dad was going to gift him after his school semester.

The semester got over and steve along with his family was ready to go on vacations at his father's farmhouse.Steve got his bag packed and loaded it in the car.As soon as they reached there ,steve's dad surprised steve with a gift.And the gift was, of course, the bicycle that steve desired.The next day early in the morning steve and his dad went out for a walk.Steve insisted on taking his cycle too.Now this was the first time ever steve got to be here at his father's farmhouse.It was located on the outskirts of the city.Steve wasn't familiar with the roads in this area.He got onto his cycle and went for a ride.After travelling some distance he stopped.There before him was a straight long road covered with fog. (But he could not see it because of the mist) Steve couldn't see anything.He got disappointed and told his dad,"Dad look! the road has come to an end.I can't ride anymore.

His dad knew this place since his childhood.He did not get disappointed but instead bent down and brushed his hands on steve's hair.He said "No my child, this isn't the dead end.It's just obscurity that prevents you from moving forward.He added

"If it was the dead end of the road,there would be no space or room for anything.But as you can see there is fog filled in the space so obviously, there is some room for it to settle down.So the covered fog isn't the dead end but an indication of room for success.In this case, it's an indication that there is room for you to go ahead and drive"

Often we are introduced to the obscurity in some part of our life.We may be living our life and suddenly this fog of uncertainty settles on your path and we think this is the dead end because we can not see anything that's ahead.

"We prefer to rest in the assurance of today than stepping in the

uncertainty of tomorrow."

Sometimes we settle for what we have even though knowing GOD has something great in store for us.We don't step in the uncertainty of tomorrow because we aren't able to see anything ahead.But as

 Psalm 119:105 says

"Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path."

and when you carry a lamp with you while walking in the dark,it illuminates only a small area.A small area, because GOD wants you to take one step at a time.You may not see ahead what GOD has planned for you but certainly, his word will guide you step by step in the uncertainty of the future.And for that you need to meditate on his word by living in a relation with him,serving him by not only going to church but prioritising him.If you honour GOD, he will honour You.

This Christmas as we celebrate the birth of Jesus whom God the Father had sent for us ,let us repent .Anyone can come to him,yes I mean anyone !He won't abandon you because he LOVES YOU.

STAY BLESSED!
