He bumped into the sliding door of the expansive house he occupied alone, sustaining a deep cut on the wrist and partly severing a vein. Somehow, he survived to continue with a life where no girl looked his way, despite his good education, job, car and dream apartment. His frantic investments in the few relationships he thought had potential, went unrewarded, while he had become the object of gossip among brethren in and outside the Church. He is now a husband and father of children.

??and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough now, O Lord, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.? ? 1 Kings 19: 4 (KJV)

Before tomorrow is always the night.
Let the Son shine in your heart daily.
