God's Love in Little Packages

From a ray of sunshine

that wakes me up in the morning

To the sweet aroma of coffee

Roasting in mother's kitchen

Bacon and eggs for my breakfast

And the scent of lavender

On my neatly ironed clothes

From the clear, blue sky

to the warm, gentle breeze

A charming traffic policeman

Helps me to cross the street

From the shoes on my feet

To the smiles of all the people that I meet

In all these things, there is

A touch of God's love in little packages

"No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God lives in us, and his love is made perfect in us." (1 John 4:12)

A mother nurses her child

A young boy picking daisies in the wild

Grandma tends to her garden

And the old man kisses his wife

A couple falling in love

A young woman offering herself to God

In all these things, there is

A touch of God's love in little packages.

Tunnels & Bridges

Life is like a journey through tunnels and bridges. There are times when the days are so dark. They become almost like the night. You could not see what lies ahead of you. It is a deep, dark tunnel. It can make you forget that there is light at the end.

Trials are like bridges that you need to cross in order to get to your destination. They are like the exams that you need to pass. In school, you go through several exams before graduation. And each exam becomes more difficult that its previous.

But you can always hope to see the light at the end of the tunnel if you just continue the journey. You can make it to graduation if you only persevere in studying for your exams. You can be happy and successful in life if you only have faith and believe - in God in your self.

"Continue in your faith, established and firm, not moved from the hope held out in the gospel." (Colossians 1:23 - NIV)
