The Note

(It’s fiction... but the message could be real.)

He woke up early in the morning. He prepared a cup of coffee and went back to his room. While opening the window, he saw an old book. He scanned the pages and noticed a piece of paper. He read the hand-written note:

Allow me to join your journey today,

I’ll give you hope and show you the way.

Leave your worries and sorrows behind;

I’ll take the drive seat and keep you in mind.

~God.

What a great note to begin the day. It feels good to be reminded amid daily worries. He smiled and got himself ready. He has conquered a lot of troubles in the past and with faith in his heart, he will  continue a great journey.

Then he uttered a prayer from Psalms: 

Psalm 119:133

Not Home Yet

Being a morning person, I am cheerful and lively during the day. With  enthusiasm  I could easily accomplish  many tasks.  However at night,  I would sometimes end up tired. There’s an unexplained sense of dissatisfaction. Though I  may have exerted my best effort, it feels like something is missing. 

One night as I scan the pages of my journal I saw the message by Rick Warren, a well-known American pastor. It says:  “this world is not your home..”

...the fact that earth is not our ultimate home explains why as Christians we experience difficulty, sorrow and rejection in this world...

So true...

some of our dreams are unfulfilled, 

some of our prayers remain  unanswered, 

some circumstances seem unfair.

Maybe because we’re not  home yet. 

For we are created for something good, something better.
