A beautiful message for all of us….

A young lady sat in a bus. At the next stop a loud and grumpy old lady came and sat by her. She squeezed into the seat and bumped her with her numerous bags.

The person sitting on the other side of the young lady got upset, asked her why she did not speak up and say something.

The young lady responded with a smile, deserves to be written in golden letters

“It is not necessary to be rude or argue over something so insignificant, the journey together is so short. I get off at the next stop.”

Jesus teaches us in Mathew 5:39

“But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.”

We need to  realise that our time here is short and that to darken it with quarrels, futile arguments, un forgiveness, discontentment and a fault finding attitude would be a waste of time and energy.

Sometime our differences are over riches , the fame & pride it tags along.

The Bible says about a rich man who is planning his future business growth

Luke 12:19-20

“And I’ll sit back and say to myself, “My friend, you have enough stored away for years to come. Now take it easy! Eat, drink, and be merry!”

But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?”

If you are unable to enjoy and share your riches of what use is it? Life is unpredictably short!!

Did someone break your heart. betray, bully, cheat or humiliate you?

Luke 11:4

Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.'”

We need forgiveness from God for our sins and also need to forgive those who offend us remember the journey is very short.

No one knows the duration of this journey. No one knows when their stop will come, but this is sure our journey together is very short.

Let us cherish friends and family. Let us be respectful, kind and forgiving to each other. Let us be filled with gratitude and gladness.

If I have ever hurt you, I ask for your forgiveness. If you have ever hurt me, you already have my forgiveness.

Remember , *Our Journey Together is very Short!*
