Do you know the Sent one?
Do you know if he can save me?
My name is Melody and this is my story.
I am one of the very many persons who don’t believe in the accuracy of the common ideology: ‘There’s more to life than the physical’. I lived a normal life but I lost to the normality of life when I was shown my spiritual state.
I found myself in an empty space, bare and lacking any sign of life, full of nothing, hollow and void. There were no trees, no sun, no flowers, no bright clouds, no sign of hope. The sight of this voidness could choke me to death so I walked in search of life. I walked in the dark. Every step made me trip but I kept on walking. It felt like I was walking in circles but I couldn’t stop.
I reached my crossroads when I got to a river bank. The other side of the river was nothing compared to the situation of things on the side that I walked on. It was filled with the sound of life: vegetations, sunlight, fruits, beautiful flowers, pulsing with the rhythm of life, buzzing with the sound of nature
I wanted to get to the other side but couldn’t find anything to help me to do that. I fell to the ground and cried my lungs out. My tears felt dry and at a point, the flow stopped. My face was filled with stains of dried sadness. I remained on the ground, brooding on my misfortune.
I heard a child’s voice and raised my head. The little thing was standing on the bank of the other side of the river. She said, “If you must come over, you need to die first.”
Death was the last thing on my mind. I can’t die here. I can’t die like this.
She interrupted my thoughts and said again, “If you must keep your life, you must lose it”.
I opened my eyes to the painting hung on the wall in my room and realized I had been dreaming.
This was my life before I found life in God. Like me, there are so many souls out there who want a new life but don’t know how to get it. I know you’ve set goals for the new year.
Don’t forget to add this to your list.
“He was sent to save the lost ones and you’ve been sent to show the world who the Sent one is.”
Don’t fail in your duty this time.
