Bliss or Doom

I've always stood still

Alone in my train of thoughts

thinking who I was what I will be

I love to escape reality

I hate myself sometimes

because i didn't know who I exactly is

or what did my Maker make of me

Today we watched a video of Joel, in US, how his life had been radically flipped the wrong side

An innocent family outing begins with the exciting drive and then the tragedy;

before any bliss was built among the family, doom dawned

The car was swallowed in flames

the fire licks at the little Joel

charring his entire body

His ears were burnt and gone

His skin was 80% severely scalded

Nobody believed he was ever going to live beyond that minute

but with the prayers of the nation

the cries of the family

and the doctor's help

little Joel grew up to be like any ordinary kid

just without fingers toes ears hair and smooth skin

His life was as usual as any other people's

He excelled in sports and got married

and he never hated the truck driver who pushed the start button of this accident

He testified in court

and spoke directly to him

the man who hurt and changed his life, for the better or worst, forever

the man who caused him to live in oblivion to his own natural looks

what it feels like to have fingers

the man took everything away from Joel

but Joel said : "they can take my fingers, and my toes away. But they can never take my person, the one who is living inside me. Nobody can take it."

He knew the extraordinary plans God has for him

and he never gave up trusting in what God has prepared for him this life

whether people perceived it as a bliss or doom

to Joel, it might just be a bliss realising who he really is without the appearance factor

and bliss or doom are you perceiving for yourself?

sometimes we just fail to look at the big picture

but only remain gazing at the very little at-the-edge-of-the-frame portion where a little spot of mistake is

how ignorant we are of His great love

and power to change even history or halt time

anything for us He would do

since the day He willed to die for us



sweetheart, Daddy loves you
