Bridge Over Troubled Waters

This  post is for a 100 word picture prompt in. Faith Fiction Friday -

 A walk through the woods brought me to a quaint bridge, with water running under it! The picturesque bridge reminded of the beautiful song ‘Bridge over troubled waters” by Simon & Garfunkel. Personally, I adore Elvis Presley’s version! Whatever!

  Coming back to the bridge, isn’t Christ the bridge who helps us cross over troubled waters? The troubled waters are the trials, temptations and turbulence of this life. Without a bridge we would be in the waters. He cares enough for us, to build a bridge when we need it the most! Christ is our bridge over troubled waters, the one to get  us past the tough times!

All In The Training

  Train!

    Recently I read a snippet from a newspaper :

 British hurdles world champion , Dai Greene, had to run across a train track while  a speeding  oncoming train was just 300 meters away, for a rail track death awareness campaign ! In the advert, even Greene, an agile athlete, struggles to cross the tracks safely, as rain, grease and other hazards hamper his progress. The message is loud and clear. When a trained, alert and swift  athlete strives to cross the track , how can untrained ordinary people hope to make it across the track?  A powerful message! 

   Like wise, only people who have trained themselves to submit their will to God,by praying faithfully and obeying  His commandments , can cross life’s hurdles however hazardous.

A Prayer:

“Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day.” Psalm 25:4-5.

Flying Away!

This 100 word post is in response to the picture prompt by Faith Fiction Friday.

We should always be ready for 'take off' to fly away to our eternal home!

While our home is in heaven, we have a responsibility here in this beautiful world God created for us.We have to live the life we were meant to live, within the parameters set by God.

He has commanded us,'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'Mathew 22:37-39

God has gifted us the ability to love,have compassion,show kindness ,be caring and to live in peace and harmony.Use them!

Above all,realise the power of prayer and forgiveness!

Remember Jesus had said, "I have given you an example, that as I have done, so should you do."(John 13:15)
