Christianity is a path of roses—the one with petals and thorns. Stories of petals often told and the thorns, in asterisks.
Scribbles and Confessions
The best of stories are often found in our secret prayer closet. The testimonies of when God said ‘yes’, the times when He said ‘no’ and, not to forget, the seasons of ‘wait’—every detail, a chapter of the book called ‘journey’. From having breakdowns and losing our way to searching for directions and pushing forward, here are real time narratives of what it means to be on a journey with Jesus.
P.S: We are still on this journey.
Going beyond worldly norms
Having understood the beatitudes better, I have come to realise that we need to have an eternal perspective to truly absorb all that is written in Matthew 5:1-12. When we set our eyes on what God wants of us, we see the pieces of the puzzle falling into place. All the wealth, position, prestige and achievements of this world will amount to nothing in heaven but what holds is our meekness, our pure hearts, and most of all, our dependence on God. Know that, without the cross, there wouldn’t have been a resurrection.
