RISE

A few days back one of my dearest friend walked out unscathed and uninjured from his wrecked car. His car had been smashed and completely toppled over by a reckless cabby. As he looks back, he still cannot but help say that it was all a miracle. He feels that the debris of his car gives proof of the fact that only the supernatural grace of God could have saved him. He was fine (though shocked) and infact handled all the after-work of towing away the car, settling insurance, dealing with the police (and also his concerned family!) in such a controlled and calm way. In a lighter vein he says he was downright efficient! He also recalls that strangers flocked in to help him and to straighten up the car. He says that they were like angels! Yes, today as we both reflect we know in our hearts that this whole incident has a message. No doubt once again we are in awe of God and his plans for our lives. He has certainly got a purpose in granting us time and again the miracle of NEW LIFE! He has placed us again and again in front of our eyes the fact that life is beautiful and cannot be wasted. We may have had wreckages and accidents (pains, betrayals, failures, let-downs, criticsms and hardships) but we can rise again. We can walk out of the wreckage. We can be downright efficient. We can be sure that all will be taken care of. We can rest assured we are not alone in it. God sends angels on the way to help and guide us. Let us be encouraged and rise up and walk once again in the name of Jesus. Let us once again live, love and long for the Kingdom of God. Amen
