"And whenever the people who had evil spirits in them saw him, they would fall down before him and scream,
You are the Son of God!" - Mark - Chapter 3: Verse 11
Depressed, Desperate, Desolate!!
This is how many people feel, after a day long's busy and tight schedule. Surrounded by friends, praises, reached the set and unset goals, bought the gadgets as per the updated wish list, added trendy clothes to the wardrobe... Yet why?
What makes a human so unsatisfied!! So uncomfortable about what he is? So disgusting about what he has?
One day, I was talking to one of my old friends. He said about the latest in his wish list.... It was a seven series car…While leaving he told me... ''I am really unhappy about what I am, Not feeling good for so many months'' - I smiled at him.
Life is not the way you need to be, you are not the way you want to be... Wheresoever’s I go, whatever I do, whatsoever I achieve, something is missing, I mean it is not full...It is empty, half empty...half done...half accomplished..
Otherwise achieved everything, got the love of your life, got a well paid and reputed job, got an unexpected hike, but you are sleepless, not enjoying even when you have everything that surrounds you!
Have you ever heard of a Valley...Valley of Love!!
Have you ever experienced how a valley is like...?
You are so busy....No time for something or anything, and at the end you are unhappy.
The reason is just that you don't see the half full side...but you notice that it is half empty...
Sometimes you are full, but even then you miss something..!! And you are not happy...Happiness is a word best described when you are full to the extremes. When you don't find the extremes you are depressed. Even when I write this I tend to think about the half empty stuffs in my life... Why is it so?
We all are possessive.
Possessive about the possessions in the form of achievements, love, children, parents, friends, wish lists, wardrobes etc...
Many a times possessions give you pleasure, And this is when you achieve it, when things goes as per your plan...What is missing then?
Many a times these possessions don't go well, very well or not at all 'well' in the way you want!! Then you are depressed, desolate, and moreover desperate.
So what!!
Everything is fine, but am not fine…because the valley is unreachable, as the possessions hold you back or delays your journey towards it.
But once when you find things does not go your way, you turn to GOD!! For a catalytic influence, for the reaction to happen faster than usual.
Where was this catalyst in the beginning, when you started the journey, or where you missed him during your journey, or why didn't you start the journey with him?
Those were the times you were overwhelmed by the 'I' factor, you were excited and set over expectations for the possessions.
And you forgot to realize the Son of God!!
You never realized there is a valley… a valley of love, valley of kindness, valley of endless grace!!
Valley is a home, the soul of yours that seeks god’s will in anything and everything you do!
Valley is a state of mind, where you accept the things the way it is and rejoice in god as 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 say,“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.’
Valley is an art of living to where you release your possessions, detach yourself from the ‘I’ Factor, and show the readiness to have from Jesus’s desk.
Valley is never a comfort zone, with no pains and gains
Valley never says you to be not ambitious, not to create or add anything to your wish list.
Valley never says you not to be not eager about love, life, children and so on…
Rather Valley is a realization of - You as the son or daughter of Jesus Christ, who is the son of GOD… and you are not supposed to ‘have’ evil spirits in you, but have ‘HOLY SPIRIT’ in you.
