“Yet even now? Declared the Lord, return to me with all your heart…rend your hearts and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious, merciful, slow to anger, abounding in steadfast love (Joel 2:12-14).”
This reminded me of the scene at the crucifixion of Jesus,
Where the soldiers divided the garments of Jesus
Among themselves in a selfish way
Rather, we are called
To break the hearts of stone and return to the Lord
Just like the Prodigal Son
Who returned to the father
After realizing his mistake
Like the seagull
At times,
Circumstances may cause us to fall into difficult
And emotionally driven situations
But Jesus is always there
To help us out,
He does not forsake us
Just like the seagull
Who only asked for food
And not a change of color
This picture is similar to a story
I read in the week
About a mynah that was stuck in a glue trap
And a wildlife group had to get rid
Of the glue stuck on its whole body
This is not possible
Without the human race
As through our mistakes or intervention,
God is merciful
And he loves all things,
Even a seagull is of value
To him.
Praise God!

Poor sea gull! It fell into a pot of curry, did it not? I would like to have the pictures posted for the readers, if possible. It would bring out the beauty of your thoughts better.
Well, I got the picture. . . it speaks volumes, as I always say.
