PRAISE THE LORD IN THE HIGHEST!!
IT was a usual July first evening and I was unusually studying.My Uncle and Aunt had come for a long stay.Then retired Uncle got up with the idea of an afternoon walk.Since i was doing my home work ,I declined the offer of joining him..But later my Little Brother pops up with the request of going along with Uncle.This comes when he had already left for the walk.Reluctantly I oblige to take him.
The backdrop of the incident is back in 2003.A time when my locality was wilderness.One had to walk few metres to find a house.I start my Lil journey.After turning the junction I unusually noticed a bike rider passing in the opposite direction and after few minutes we catch up with Uncle.. After handing over my Brother to him I return.
On my way back ,I had to pass by a narrow lonely pathway.When I reached there i see the bike guy waiting with his bike turned.He asked me in Malayalam "Do you know Lakshmi's house?".During the conversation he holds my hand casually.Now what will an eight year old know about her scattered neighbourhood ? My answer was a thoughtful No.After my reply I try to free my fragile hands onto which he had intensified his grab.The next few seconds is followed by tug of war on my right hand.
I feel my voice stuck in my throat.The inability to shout(which I knew would turn worthless0 crushes my spirit.THEN then ...when all the lights of hope seeming to be turned off I feel the HANDS OF GOD.
It was just few seconds(definitely turning my life upside down) I felt an invisible STRONG hand breaking the man's tight grab.With the new experience of the evil world and the blissful first touch of God, the adrenaline gush helps me to reach home.
The renewal of my strength in my Lord, not only gave birth to mine and my family's faith but haunted me with the fear of abduction for the next two years.The years were definitely difficult where the outside life i loved became my greatest aversion .But love of God yet again healed my wounds ,helping me to surpass fear with courage from God face the most lethal challenges.
Hope the light of the world becomes the spark of all of your lives. God Bless.
