Came Back With A Bang

Hi Searchwarp friends! I really missed you all. Do you know I didn’t write articles for more than a year for SW. It’s not only for SW but I haven’t written any article for anything, anybody except my own publication CANDLES , as I had to write for it to run. Will you call me a writer in anyway? Lol… It’s up to you friends.
It was really difficult to keep a balance between my professional life with the life I always long for. My profession always demands to keep the accounts perfectly, to keep it regularly, prepare this statement, prepare that statement and so on. And after doing all these I feel tired, bored and stressed out to do anything else in life. I did strain my physical body too, along with my mental and spiritual being.
At last a time came when my PCV & Hb in the blood became really very high (which is a defense mechanism of my body to keep me oxygenated as I have cardiac problem) to stop me literally from work. I had to take several days of leaves from my office and rest at home.
I wanted to work, but my God had different plans for me. He wanted me to REST. He had reasons behind giving me REST. So I had to REST. But friends, you won’t believe that I got benefitted in so many ways when I was and am in REST which I am going to share with you all today.
Firstly, I was benefitted physically for which I took rest in the first place. I hope my PCV & Hb would have gone down (I haven’t checked recently). I was re-claimed to take REST as and when required and not to strain much.
Secondly, I read & studied my Bible many times, which was and is very necessary. God gave me so many insightful thoughts which is necessary for my life and for others too when I share or teach. And I am revived and refreshed.
Thirdly, I prayed for different needs, different people, friends, relatives, family and for many other things.
Fourthly, I wrote articles. Yes! Articles, Which I had stopped for almost over a year. I wrote 6 new articles in total and completed 1 unfinished article. I wrote 3 articles for Triond, 2 for World Wide Bible Studies and this one for my favourite SW. Now, I am working on 2 more articles for Triond and the part-II of my previous article on SW and many more bible studies for WWBS.
Fifth which is the last benefit but not the least; I learned to be more content with what I have and what God has given me. I learned to be accustomed with my symptoms yet not to be scared but have faith on the same God who has been carrying me through in every situation. I went to teach on ‘Marriage & Family’ in one of the training programmes far away from my home. I taught there for 5 hours at a stretch with an hour of interval for lunch in between. He was so faithful to take care of me there also. I remembered Psalm 136 in regard to His faithfulness and love, “His love endures forever.”
So Friends! At last, I came back with a bang.
