Rainbow of Promise!

                                     It’s been a long time that I attended my mother church. I've decided that the Christmas season is the best time to attend the mass and experience happiness within me. While through the mass, the Father was delivering his message. He was talking about “Noah’s ark”. As a child, I thought that Noah built the ark the same way I used to make paper boats. What always fascinated me about Noah’s story was the dove which came back with an olive branch. It was an indication that the earth is dry and fertile enough for human living and cultivation. In fact, this dove was like a weather reporter for Noah and his people in the ark. The dove has remained my favorite bird since then. But today, am listening to something new. A weather forecaster—a rainbow. After the flood subsides and Noah leads the way to earth for a new beginning, Lord God repents for what he has done to the man kind and as a covenant between Him and the people, He creates a rainbow as a sign that never would there be any massive human disaster on the Earth. The rainbow is a sign of promise that God has given to the human kind. The rainbow has been placed between the clouds so that God can remember His covenant with His people.

                                     Life is exactly like a rainbow. We experience sorrows and pain and this is quite   enough to   devastate our confidence. At times, it seems that the pain is never ending. You feel the pinch every second and that limits peace in life. You feel that amid of a busy crowd, you are the only one who are at a stand point. Everyone seem to be running after their dreams while you are lost and drowned in our misery. The time you invested, the memories attached to it, the pain you took every moment to take a step towards what you loved might be futile and that is like a stab on already wounded heart. And when its time for you to take a next step towards another journey, you are all hurt, down and low on confidence. You might tend to lose even your self-esteem. You are skeptical about every decision you take and every inch you move. You look at every direction for a possible guidance and you tend to be more confused. But remember – “Too many cooks spoil the broth”.

                                    Never forget the fact that every cloud has a silver lining and I call it a rainbow. A rainbow of promise that if you can clear the moist off your eyes, all you will see is the a bright rainbow. A rainbow of Promise- promise of good things, hope and joy. I accept the fact that when you are upset and sulking in your own cave, you might not be able to just walk up to the window and open the door for the sunlight at night. You need to wait for the dawn. The dawn to break the darkness and fill your room with the sunlight. Sometimes, the wait might seem too longer. However, there is a season for every activity under the heaven. Lord led the Israelites through the red sea, deep forests for years. But when He gave them, He gave them Manna and a land of milk and honey.  All you need is a stable heart and confident mind that only you know what is best for you. Trust your instincts and take the step forward. Never let the pain in your mind blind the view of hope and your dreams….
