What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
One day I found myself crying in a corner then a man appeared from no where. He was a giant but opened up a room for a tiny me. Not enough but it was more than enough.
He sat me down, and he also sat down. I looked down, I looked up, then I looked at him. I didn’t know but I heard a voice saying trust him.
I opened up, speak, cry out then I faced down again. I said “Sorry about that, I know I can be weird and stuff” *drying up the tears on my face*
He laughed or should I say smiled at me brightly. It was like he had no issues, it was like all was perfectly fine. He then said “No it’s okay to cry, don’t feel bad about it”
I don’t really remember some of the stuff he was saying, I just remember seeing him holding a paper and a pen he then drew two lines on that paper the other one was going up and down(zigzag) vertically and the other one just went straight.
He then asked “do you see these lines?” I was like “yeah” so interested into what he was about to say about the lines, so I gave all of my attention to him. Quietly and patiently waiting to listen.
He said life is a ventilator machine. Life is like that breathing machine. I just looked at him. He continued and said the first line that’s going up and down shows that there’s what? “Life” I answered, and the straight one shows there’s no life right? I said “yes”
“Okay now let’s talk about the line going up and down”, I was like okay, as I waited to listen to more. Then he said “what did David said singing the songs of Psalms. On Psalm 23? he said though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. He said the line going up and down those are the valleys. It shows that there’s life in you you are alive”
And while walking through the valleys fear no evil for it is said he is with you.
“Just don’t give up and don’t stop praying”
I thank you Bishop
