SLIDE DOWN OR SOAR UP

The boy was pale as a corpse, so people started saying, “He’s dead.”

But Jesus, taking his hand, raised him. The boy stood up.

Mark 9:26-27 (Holy Bible; The Message)

Others could talk ill of us and could even reject us and cut us off.

Though we would have been cut off, He can stick us back with Him, 

if our purpose (thought) and longing (thirst) are upon the GOD OF COMFORT.

Sliding down and Soaring up may become life, 

many a times, as like that happens in the Indian traditional board game 

Paampu Thaayam [snake (sins) and ladder (virtue) game –

 Haavu Eni Aata or Moksha Pata, a myth that decides humans fate].

But some times, after the fall, we crave for a way out to stand up.

Let us earnestly seek the help of Jesus, for whoever we may be and 

whatever our position may be, He can raise us back and set us free.
