There are reasons for bad things to happen in our life. the story is about a boy who had lost his mother at a really young age ,but was given a second chance . will he be able to prove God wrong !!
It was 5 Am when I woke up with the same nightmare as always . I was always the kind of boy who begins the day with the voice of God and a chapter from the Bible .
I lived alone renting a apartment . My mum left the world at my early age because of my dad's torture and I lived with the guilt not being able to save her.
I ate my breakfast and still had time to go to school ,so I read the Bible and prayed to God to give me another chance ..... a chance where I can go back in time and change the past. I always pray to God about this matter , sometimes I can even hear his majestic voice. as always I finished praying and opened my eyes ...but to my surprise I saw a man sitting right in front of me . His face as bright as his clothes , I was about to attack him when he said " my boy , don't you recognise me ??" that was when I realised that his voice was so much familiar to me than a any other voice .so out of curiosity I asked him " sir ,who are you ??" to which he answered that he was " God " . at first I was reluctant to believe him but the more I was saw him the more familiar I felt about him .
without wasting the opportunity I asked God " what is the reason for your arrival today God ???".
the answer which he gave me was so shocking that I almost wanted to faint right there . " do you blame me for your mother's death ,my boy ??" . I was quite hesitant to answer but somewhere deep in my heart I already knew the answer , so I gently nodded my head in a yes.
After thinking for a while God said " my boy ,I've decided one thing ... I am going to give you a second chance . I am going to bring you back in time so that you can save your mother from your father. "
The next thing I knew I was in my 11 year old body. My mother right next me hugging me to sleep . I couldn't help but cry out aloud , hearing my crying my mother woke up worried and asked " what happened John did you hurt yourself ??" . I hugged her tight and again went back to sleep because if exaution .
The next day was the same day in which my mother died . I was a martial arts student so I prepared myself for what was coming next . The same way my father came in with a stick in his hand and was about to beat my mother when I grab it before it hit her . my father was quite surprised , he was about to hit me when I gave strong uppercut right in his face. my mother and my father's mistress were bewildered because of my strength . I Beat my father up till he fainted and grabbed my mother's hands and left the house.
we rented a small house and lived there happily for a while ( or that's what I thought ) . after a few days I started noticing few differences in my mother's face .... a certain kind of emptiness. she talked happily to me when I was around , at first I couldn't differentiate anything but later found that she was going through depression because of my father . My mother loved my father a lot but when he said about bringing a mistress home she did not like it so she refused , so my father whipped and beat her up till her body had a huge mark in her back. A few days past and the same continued she kept on taking medicines for depression but this time she stopped talking to me her ,face showed clear signs if tiredness .
when I asked God about it he said " John I don't know whether you noticed it not but your mother as lost her will to live . she is living like a dead person now . That was when I observed my mother's face more closely and found the truth. again not knowing what to do I asked God what to do , to which he replied " John , sometimes letting the person go is the best way of you showing your love towards them . let her go , she was living happily in heaven than earth . everything happens for a reason and I know what is best for you . I take decisions sometimes which people think as cruel to save the other from another danger " . with this God went to heaven and I woke up.
I thought it was a dream but then noticed the cross pendent that mother wore in her coffin. " it was all real !! maybe letting mum go without her going through that much mental pain was God's best decision for Mom " I said out aloud.
authors point of view *
from then on John lived his life without any burden in his heart. he threw away all the insecurities and guilt he buried deep in his heart.
sometimes God let's bad things happen in our life for a reason . sometimes it might be to protect others and sometimes it might be to protect us. so don't complain to God for anything he knows what is best for us.
believe in your God with all your strength ,might and power and he will lift you up.
THANK YOU.
