An Imaginary Reflection Story


It is Kate who is writing this.

That was the darkest day, everything was black and blur. The darkness made the path invisible. Where will I go now? What will be my next move?


Ah! I am so confused, scared, and worried. It's as if I'm tightly tied up and I want to break free, but I can't as the rope is stronger than me.


It all began when I was fifteen when I formed a friendship with a guy who enticed me into a world of sin. I believed it to be genuine and a source of happiness. But I was wrong. Gradually and consistently, I was drawn into a cycle of sinful actions that are challenging to articulate.


Now I am 25, it took me 10 years to realize that I was trapped, and only when I was betrayed, rejected, and burdened. My tears are overflowing, and the pain is piercing.


It was noon, even though the sun was hot and shining outside, I felt surrounded by darkness.


Are there any prospects for my future? Questions arose in my mind. How will I face people? I feel ashamed. Is there anyone who can free me from this darkness and bring light into my life?


Turning my face towards the window, I slowly opened it. It's nearly 7 in the evening. The sun has set, and darkness is beginning to take over. I closed my eyes, tears falling onto my lips. But my ears remain open.


A gentle breeze brushed against my face, carrying a message with it. It was the sound of a loudspeaker from a nearby Church. The vibrations conveyed,


"For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm,therefore, and do not submit again to the yoke of slavery.

You were running well; who hindered you from obeying the truth?

For you were called to freedom.  Walk by the spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh."


These words resonated in my mind, echoing from every corner of my room.


It was hard to believe, but I could feel the rope slowly loosening. The sense of relief was palpable. I felt empowered and liberated.


The hands on the clock pointed to 9 A.M.

Despite the growing darkness outside, a spark ignited within me. Its intensity grew, illuminating my surroundings and captivating my eyes.


"I'm free, I'm free!" I exclaimed, reminiscing about the days of my youth when I walked in the light, faithfully obeying God. But when I succumbed to my desires of the flesh, I strayed from the path. I knelt down and prayed seeking guidance and discipline. For if we live by Spirit, let us also walk by Spirit.


This is Kate writing to you... Read Galatians 5.

      It is timely on my side. Today afternoon someone told me that he has never loved me and that I should not think of him having a relationship with him. I have been so hurt and disappointed but I know Jesus is near.

  That was a day when all of the family members were gathered for a particular event. The house is filled with people of all ages. The voices of each group overwhelmed the other group, and that of kids ranked high. No secret place was left without people. Though most of their conversations are in fact unproductive, they believed that they made their day. They had only a day left to disperse and so everyone wanted to enjoy it to the fullest. All of a sudden, they could recognize a disgusting smell somewhere inside the house. It seemed to be the smell of smoke. Something is burning, that if unnoticed could lead to danger. Rushing towards the direction of the smell, they not found an electric heater that remained on for hours and it started burning. Thankfully it was spotted sooner than it would hoist an effect. On a quick investigation, it was been revealed that someone forgot to switch it off and with heavy exposure to electricity the heater started to burn. Thus the word 'forgot

Pruning

  Gardening is an art. Little blooms or an inch of growth, small sprouts mean a lot to those who are fond of gardening. Indeed, the beauty of sparks of morning sunlight touching the soft velvet petals of the colourful flowers in the garden depicts the results of those little efforts laid by the gardener. It has often brightened my days. However, gardening entails more than just beauty; it involves the behind-the-scenes actions that contribute to such colourful blooms. It includes potting, watering, fertilizing, proper placing, and most importantly, pruning. The process of pruning is less noticed, but it plays a vital role in the growing of plants. Pruning is the action of removing certain weaker parts of plants that hinder growth by absorbing energy and wasting it. In other words, pruning stimulates faster growth. Often e-commerce sites come up with stunning stock clearance sale ads that catch customers' attention. The main ideology behind stock clearance sales is to clear old inve

Evening

When I was around 20 years old, I lived in a house on the second floor of the building. The building was on the corner where the streets intersect. This is a spot where various happenings can be captured by the eyes' lens. Let me picturize what was captured on the spot every evening. Evening, a perfect time to withdraw or return. There is a school near my house and when it is evening, the sound of the school bell makes the students dismiss, returning to their homes. Minutes later, employees from various workplaces return home. Evening, a perfect time to terminate. Whatever was initiated at the start of the day must be either fully or partially brought to an end. The systems are shut down marking the end of the day; machines are stopped and shutters are closed. Because it's evening. On the other side, the yellowish rays from the sun turn grey marking the dusk.  Evening, a perfect time to experience a semi-darkness, neither bright nor with the glow of artificial light. Vision bec
