A silent wish

-
My silent wish is for people who have waited long enough for their prayers to be answered. To know that their wait was worth it.

I want those who have prayed to know that they did not pray in vain. I want very much for unhappy people to be happy.

And sleep after a long time, knowing that God hasn't gone anywhere.

Sometimes you have to leave it to the Great Outer Force to come in and work it out for you. And with all that God has at His disposal, waiting at His command to help, He can help and do it for you in a minute.

Direct your prayer, however small and sincere, to God. Have a blind heart with blind faith and you will, you will, open your eyes to more happiness than you can see.

God's love saves the best for those who go through the worst. I want to see them happy. Because, then it validates my belief in the beauty of the world and the beauty of the one who created it.

I may have this absolute child-like belief but I do believe that there is a better world than the one we are living. I do believe that in time people like us will find that beauty, peace and perfection we are looking for.

I am not ready to accept that, the one who I pray to, is a powerless object suspended in the sky. It's taken me my life just believing, and with God's grace, I will believe till the end.

Don't count the years and your tears. Somebody with the softest heart is keeping an account. When you are right, you are on the right side of God. After this, is there anything left?

Generosity

-
Ever met a stingy person? Not in terms of gift giving or spending, but people who are stingy with affection, or stingy with acknowledging the good in someone else? Chances are, we don't like such a person. Chances are, we are that person (Maybe, not to everyone but to someone). I have been thinking about how one of my main triggers for the past year has been ingratitude. Like when you do things for someone, but they either blow it off or don't value it. When they find things to complain about and never have a good word to say.  When we are around generous people, it lifts us up. They raise us to be better versions of ourselves. I recently read a quote which stuck with me, "If you don't like what you are reaping, consider what you are sowing" . If we don't invest in something, whether a person, a task or a relationship, it dies a natural death. That is just the way it is. Generous people don't rely on the reciprocity of their actions to be generous. In most

The paradox of Forgiveness

-
  “We see life as unfair and ourselves as its victims. We focus on the offenses others have done against us. And we fail to realize all these offenses pale in comparison to our own offenses against God, who not only forgives us, but both requires and enables us to forgive others and move forward free from the past. We should forgive as God forgave us, not once but many times.” This is the heart of God's forgiveness message. I wonder sometimes, what this means for victims. For people who are at the receiving end of others' sins. People dealing with years of trauma, abuse, neglect or betrayal. We all sin and fall short in many different ways, but forgiveness is more complex than that. The offenses that are done against us are wrong, simply because they are like our own offenses — wrong because they are done against God. To imply that our pain is not real or valid because we ourselves have done wrong, would be to negate the entire human race and the wrongs we inflict on each other

Homeward bound

       There is this tree at the intersection of McCaslin and Washington. Every home around it was reduced to rubble from the Marshall fire. Yet, this tree. It is lit up with the Christmas décor placed on it before the fire.           At first, I found it haunting. But now, this tree with the little string of lights on it, is beautiful to me. There is this saying that the smallest of lights shine brightest in the darkness.            During these uncertain times, when we feel depleted and exhausted - maybe we somehow find in us these little lights. It reminds us that there is hope even through dark times - God is with us, with ALL of us, in ALL things.            If we believe that God's hand is only in the good things - what would we tell ourselves if things were to go truly bad? How would we remind ourselves of God's provision or God's love and protection? He is either present in ALL things or He is present in nothing.           This year feels like an extension of the p
