The Candle And The Bird – by Nicolae Geantă

We, christians, preach that God’s presence is like the
light. And this is true. Where is He, the dark is missing. But I like that Boreham
says that the presence of God is like a bird.”Unlike the candle which
cannot give light when it is extinguished” says the english writer,
“bird which is driven away, sings its song on a different bough.”

The History of Church shows us that whenever God is cast out
from a place, He sang His holy trills to another one! The Jerusalem did not
received Him anymore, but He sang again in Rome and Athene.

The catholics have never received Him back, but He sang with
Luther in Germany! The lutherans was not excited about Him anymore, but He sang
with the Moravians of Zizerdorf. Then with the Methodists of Wesley, with the
Baptists of Spurgeon, with “brothers” from Plymouth, with the
Pentecostals from Azusa… The Americans and the Europeans from our days did cast
off Christ from family, schools, from church. But He went to sing in South
America, in Africa, India and China. Lord, do not go from Romania too!

However the secularists, gay and lesbians, the hedonists or
heedless people would endeavor to extinguish the Golgotha Song, they will never
succeed. The Bird of Heaven will move to other branches to croon His song.

Don’t you want to be among those who sing His song? Among
those who keep the candle burning?
