Did you travel by train before? I do personally believe that IT is the best means of travel, quite convenient and Fast (No long check-in processes), Reliable (delays are not that common), and comfortable (usually you have more leg space and walkways than in planes) and Yes...you do not need to choose "Chicken or Beef", there is a whole cafeteria if needed. However, what tops it all is the Scenery you get to enjoy while on a train ride, specially here in spain, we cross through God's amazing nature, from Green pastures, Farming lands, Mountains, valleys and Olive tree fields. I am usual passenger on the 6:45 am train, I can tell you nothing compensates this early wake up but filling my eyes and soul with these beautiful scenes enrobed in the background of a Golden shining sunrise, giving it a dreamy paradise look and feel..but suddenly, all this beauty just disappears, brutally cut and replaced by a total Loud and Black Darkness...We are going through a Tunnel!
That's the inconvenience about diving in these scenes, you do not know when the tunnel comes, you can't see it from the train windows, you are Just suddenly INTO it, surrounded and captured. What keeps my breath in place is that I know it lasts for few seconds or minutes, then we are out to the green pastures again!. Despite the Darkness I thank God for the Tunnel, It was needed anyhow to get us through this big mountain on our way...otherwise we would have crashed into it!
Our life on earth is a Train Ride! We live in The light and enjoy all its beauties, we look around and thank Him for the gifts He pours in our lives then suddenly, trial comes and all the green turns to black, we lose sight and sense of time not knowing when we'll see the light again. Our Lord Jesus did not promise a Green scene all the way, we are never told our lives will be free from tunnels, storms, hurt or disappointments but He told this graceful fact :

I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.] (John 16:33 AMP)
قد كلَّمتُكُمْ بهذا ليكونَ لكُمْ فيَّ سلامٌ. في العالَمِ سيكونُ لكُمْ ضيقٌ، ولكن ثِقوا: أنا قد غَلَبتُ العالَمَ» (16 يوحَنا:33
Dear God, Today I say a special prayer for all the souls going through war and violence, the souls seeking THE Light at the end of the tunnel, the souls that wonder where you are...and seek Your Peace within. For those I pray today so that they know You have Conquered the World, through you and your spirit they shall pass and they shall see green pastures again. In Jesus Name, AMEN!
Life is a Train ride...with tunnels on the way..just Keep His peace!
It is this trust in Him, driving the train that keeps my head above water when flood surrounds, when darkness of a tunnel shuts the light and when all around us seems losing the essence of Love.. when all the news are filled with blood, bombs and death. I know He has conquered it all and I would go back to green fields or to an even Far greater beauty beyond what one have ever seen, heard or imagined as the scriptures says.
