Lessons from the Lift: Finding Peace, Perspective and Perseverance when you are stuck

I got stuck in a lift a few days ago. It was a one hour ordeal. It was not the best day of the week already, and as I entered the lift and realised it didn’t close properly nor could open, I had to face the reality – the reality of getting stuck in a lift for some time till help comes.

The thing about this incident is that it reminded me of some issues in my life I had been stuck in for ages, that I would rather not have been reminded of it. But a mini miracle happened that day, and rather than going down the usual spiral of negative thought patterns – this time – I managed to find some gems and life lessons through this harmless ordeal.

The Shadow Proves the Sunshine

In all our hearts, we search for light, we search for sunshine. Yet, we inherently find that there is darkness within us, some people call that sin, and its like a magnet. And that’s why God had to come down, so that sin can be atoned for. Light came down to darkness and for all who will choose light, there is that second chance, there is that hope, there is the sunshine and one day there will be no more shadow, or fear, or darkness, or depression, or death.
