A fresh comeback after some time. I wonder how it has encouraged or spurred the world at large...

To start off, i have a thought- How does each of us so different in thoughts, perception and behaviour can live together? Isn't it just simply amazing that though we may rub against each other, and even can't stand a moment with another at times, we all need one another.

I was reading an article and it talked about the prisoners in the Eastern State prison. It was magnificent, castle-like in exterior and about 300 prisons took on this prison as a model to strive towards. It might have been a marvel of its time, but look within, it tells a different story. It wasn't the physical punishment that was the torture...it was the absolute isolation. It was perpetual darkness for these inhibitants, where only the walls could hear their echoes and cries. For those that were held in there for life, what agony could there be greater than to face darkness all alone?

It reminded me of how we are made for relationships, such that life is indeed one we can rejoice and be ever grateful for.

We have a God who is with us, He is Emmanuel. And He walks among us. Though we may be drowning, while trying to walk on water, Jesus comes forward and reaches out his hand to us.
