Never did I think, never did I imagine but it did happen. The touch of Perpetual for my Life, letting a bozo like me to live every second, every minute of my life in felicity.
Many will say it was just a perjury, bosh. “But I tell this it was a gospel, Yes it was”. If only I could elapse back and flash everyone the moment.
17th May 2012, my summer vacation starts. I was like in exhilaration after a long gap of my Sainik mandate. Tiresome of everything I did thought I will spend my whole vacation in peace adhere to my bed, my mobile and all those internet fb stuffs. But hush…!! In vain as usual my mom was up to something this time too insisting me that I should take a fasting. There it goes again no option being a mummy’s child, without a word I started my fasting. It was around 10 kilometers from my home i.e., the prayer center. Belonging from a poor deprived family we do not own a car so, foot is the only option that I was made to choose.
Morning around 2am I was made to wake up from my deep sleep from the recommendation of my mom since the service starts around 5am. My first day over there was such an exhausting hex. I said mom. “My whole body is telling me sorry”. “No, never, not” said my mother. What more can I say aftermath. I’m continuing the fast. The second day, the perplex of my life. I cannot believe myself; I could not understand blood started bleeding out from both my legs that too with a shock at the same place (foot).
At this point today I look into these marks with a smile thanking God and showing people this miracle. The next day that is the 3rd day I was not even able to walk but my mom like a boor she sends me into the service. Walking almost 10km and that too half asleep I was like half dead when I reached the prayer center. The prayer over there almost goes on for hour and sometimes even more than that!! Being a teen of this new era I would bluntly say I too pray every day at least 10 times but in case of times not even a 5 minute in my single prayer. So taking that into play of the picture, I usually get into my dreamy world. On the 3rd day it happen the same. I was in full energy for about half hour but after that I got into it which I’ve mentioned above. My eyes were closed, but the words of prayer which was coming out from my mouth were just casual.
Then, the moment which gave me the stupefy of my life approached. Know what??? We can always hear someone’s footsteps when he or she will be approaching closer or nearer to us but no, no it was different at that very point of time because4 my eyes were closed half asleep enchanting prayers, I could feel someone’s presence over me as I was sitting I could feel something heavy above me. That guy with his magical presence brought his hand over my hand and gave me a slight touch.
The touch of perpetual for my life giving me the astound all over my body the very second he touched me. My body started shivering. I was unable to take control over myself. So I did opened my eyes then again a astound, an awestruck, an astonish, a shock, a surprise. The moment I opened my eyes I could hear the pastor and everyone present in the house saying ‘amen.’ When I look around I could not see him but I did knew he was there for me and will be always till the end. The pastor spoke the next moment, “let us pray again” that was the point I did fall unto my knees without caring how many was looking at me or what would others think. The only thing I knew was Jesus who has given me the touch of my life.
Never would I be able to forget nor is it going to be away from my life. When I was back to normal I was unable to believe. It was really so intricately close for me that it happened to me. But it did, I pinch myself getting a conformation whether it was real or a virtual one. But yes it was real. I seek the pastor after the service and the pastor said “yes it was the one”.
My dearest brothers and sisters, believe it or not but I tell you this, it happened to me. Yes it did!!! I do not know what I will be or what I would be like tomorrow but I now know this that I have someone letting me live every moment of my life facing every obstacles and challenges in life with a smile.
“IN SPITE OF ALL THE ADVERTISING AROUND ME, HOW CAN I REMIND MYSELF THAT LIFE IS REALLY ABOUT LIVING FOR GOD, NOT FOR ME”.
