As the plane took its flight higher the city slowly diminished into dots and rivers and oceans into lines and curves like a death fossil. The plane took its climax dive above the rain into the thick still clouds surrounded by endless hues of grey, white and blue clouds.
I enjoy this moment of calmness and serenity “for as high as the heavens are above the earth so great is his love for those who fear him: as far as east is from the west, as far has he removed our transgressions from us. Psalms 103:11-12” of all the dots on earth as seen from above humans are the least yet heaven does not miss to hear the cry of the dots, there is nothing on earth that heaven cannot heal.
It is the voice of love that reaches Heaven, it is the LOVE that makes God work. Today this beautiful place Earth is deprived of love. It is like an orphan, an unwanted abused child thirsty for love, embrace and healing. It is none other than YOU and ME.
We hate our leaders, we are in love with power and domination, and we have made a child to forget how to cry. When was the last time when YOU and ME have loved and cried from our gut? We have never valued peace until we have lost our brothers in cold blood; we have never bothered about the impact of war, deceit and violence until we have experienced one.
If only we could have prayed from our gut out of sheer love for peace, today we all would have been a healthy smiling child. We are concern too much about us who at the end of the day will die empty handed just to turn into dust. Take a moment to pause and think ‘Do I have LOVE from my Gut?’
