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!

My Omnipresent God

It was Sunday morning as I paced up through the corridor of my house ,holding my guitar and trying to keep my untied shoe lace from getting tangled. "How come I got up late! Why did I consent the nap to have my time." As I walked through the road, I started pondering on my behaviour. I mean how could I...its not about today...but from past few Sundays am allowing my sleep to have extra time and I end up being late at the church! Its my responsibility to lead the choir! When the pastor preaches the sermon ,I get distracted and start wandering in my thoughts and I don't even bother to shift my attention back! I resent this behaviour of mine! " I came from the church not as happy and satisfied as I would come back when I started knowing God deeply! I was going through a lot..i don't know what was wrong with me ! Was I missing someone? Huh... I started worrying when a drop of tear filled my eyes . And the fact is I did not know why was I crying. I ended up ...

THE TREE HOUSE

                                  He makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he causes me to stand on the heights.       Psalm 18:33                         “John was standing dormant staring at the cemetery where his vital fragment of life lied buried deep inside the ground. Just then a raindrop dripped across his cheeks and his consciousness startled” It was yet another sunny day as days were approaching the end of the month, and john was keen to know about the puzzle game that his beloved father would bring. John was a fun loving and mischievous, yet an obedient son of his father. John would await for days to take a leap and jump to the end of the month so as to get a new puzzle game from his dad. He loved the puzzle game immensely. He loved to put the fragments of the puzzle together so as to see what would...

A peek through the window

God has made everything fit beautifully in its appropriate time. Ecclesiastes 3:11 It had been 2 years since Reena had met her mom.It was never easy for her to stay so distant from her. She had her college,part time job in the city. She used to travel once every year to meet her mom. But she missed the previous year as she had to prepare for her competitive exams. Life was a huge toil on her! Since her father's death ,her mother and she had been desolated by their relatives. But by the Grace of God they managed to survive in this self centered world. Reena was not satisfied with Life. She used to think that life should be all about happiness! She wished her dad could be alive . Our family must have lived to our fullest was her thinking. So she boarded the train in the evening. By the time she got herself comfortable it was night.She was sitting beside a window. She could see the ground green grass blending with the moons greyish shade.As the train moved ,so did the scenery outside...
