An opportunity came knocking, we struck our lucky fortune,
with wide arms to embrace us “The Promised Land”. It was a month ago when we
saw new faces and met new people. A group of youngsters energetic and
enthusiastic came alive for the ‘Greater Glory of God’ and for the nourishment
of the people of God, to relive the Exodus experience of 3500 B.C., of the
chosen people by Yahweh himself.
Working towards this common goal, the community of Divyadaan
along with some chosen lay people began the journey of a month to the Promised
Land, right from day one to the auspicious day. Describing for you here some of
the moments of the making of “The Promised Land”. Very often, when we speak
about the making of something, we always get glimpses of scenes, but here it proffers
another angle. Many lives touched by
each other, dependent on each other and on God, could bring about a ‘simply
amazing’ performance. We the main cast speaking about our journey on this road
say, ‘Wonderful’ day and night, pushing ourselves beyond the limits and
thinking out of the box made us discover the hidden talents in each other. This
was a family that worked together, bringing up each member when s/he had
fallen, raising each other from level to the pinnacle of our abilities, by
building a strong relationship that was the driving force which made us bear
any discouragement, depression, remarks and comments of people.
“Nothing will ever be the same”
Who could say that these simple people, that these young lives
would emerge victorious at the end. The impact that one made on another, formed
a strong bonding among us that no force can break. Physically separated by
distance but always united by chains of love and fraternal bonding.
“Nothing will ever be the same”
Moving away from each other after a month brought tears to
our eyes. The joy of being successful fills the emptiness left behind.
“Nothing will ever be the same”
None of us is as strong as all of us. Life comes back on
track, but the memories we carry, the moments we remember will always be
cherished, a new experience, a new world. Life without friends is like a garden
without flowers. At the times when we feel down and alone, let’s remember the
time we said ‘I can rise’ with all of you, ‘I can’ with all of you, ‘I will’
with all of you. Let’s bring each other to the Promised Land. We will surely
miss each other, another beautiful chapter added to our lives, a chapter filled
with words of life changing experiences. Each one out there on the stage was a
product of many hands, minds, experiences and mostly many hearts put together.
We will always remember, we may be separated by distance but united by love,
strength and courage.
“Nothing will ever be the same”
Whoever knew we would meet, whoever knew we would gel well,
whoever knew that we would rise, grateful that “Nothing will ever be the same.”
History will remember the promised land and history is
created by us. Let us be united and guide each other, at moments when we fall,
let us rise together and give glory to God because “Nothing will ever be the
same.”
Whatever I was on stage was due to the main cast that held my
hands and made me see the hidden superstar within me, that touched my heart
so much and made me weep.
“A simple group became a family
Simple lives became
the driving force
All made one together
we stand
To show God’s great
love.”
“Nothing will ever be the same”
Our play might have been a ripple in eternity, a flash inside our minds, yet it only takes a
moment to change the future…
“Nothing will ever be the same”
Thank You, God Bless You All!!!
