I wrote this on the train on Wednesday night but I had no way to post it. I hope you enjoy and I will be posting something about my trip, with some pictures, once I can!
Today on the
train going home, I saw two clouds. One was a vibrant, bright, and rich orange
color, from the opposite sunset. Quite close to it was a dark, stormy, dreary
cloud. They both had these pieces, ends if you will, that almost touched. It
looked as if two fingers were reaching, stretching to touch. It reminded me of
that beautiful painting on the Sistine Chapel in Italy; perhaps you know about
what I’m speaking about. In this unforgettable painting on the ceiling, there
is one scene that, I consider the most cherished
and valued. God is extending His arm,
His fingers trying to seize ours. The man, however, is not so eager: his arm is
slightly up and reaching, but not as desperate; he doesn’t see it as precious,
what he could have.
I recalled from this simple illustration how the Lord
desires to have a relationship with us as His children and also, of how many
times we have neglected and ignored His pleas to become closer. The Lord
continues to reach out to us even if we ignore Him and His calling. May we become more sensitive to His calling
in our lives, and strive to accomplish what He desires us to.
See you soon!
