Train Station

It's been awhile, bt then again, it hasn't been......

There was once a Boy, he took a train to a beautiful white train station. He wore a very nice white suit that his Father recently gave him. He was supposed to meet someone. He waited and waited and waited and waited. Then a shady stranger came to him and asked him,"Where are your parents? You shouldn't wait here all alone you know." The Boy replied,"My parents aren't here, I'm waiting for someone." Then the stranger offered him some candy, with 1 condition, to follow him where he goes next. With the naiveness of the little Boy, he took the candy, and followed the stranger onto a train.
When he stepped down of the train, he reached a very dirty, smelly, ugly, etc(all the bad things you can think off) train station. Then, he tripped and fell, and Mud just splattered all over his white suit. But then, instead off feeling disgusted, he felt happy.
And from that day forth, he stayed in that dirty train station. He became a 'pengemis', he did what 'pengemis' did, he followed what other fellow 'pengemis' did. And then one day, another boy, stepped off the train in a nice colourful suit. It was the most Beautiful suit he had ever seen. And the boy saw him and went to him. He said,"Where have you been? Father has been looking for you!" Blurred, the Boy, asked him, who is "Father?" The boy left silently.
Then ever since that day, the Boy kept thinking of this 'Father'. "Who is he?"he asked himself. Then a voice in his heart said,"He is your Father." Then he remembered, all the things he did with his Father, everytime he fell down, his Father was always there to pick him up, whenever he dirtied his clothes, his Father gave him new clean ones, when he did something wrong, his Father was always there to correct him.
Then one day, he made himself step back into the train. He took the train up the track and reached the beautiful white train station. But when he got there he did not see his Father, his heart broke and he took the train back down the track. He repeated this, everyday. Days passed, months passed, years passed.
Then one day, when he took the train back up the track. He stepped out the train. He looked around, and did not see his Father, he called out, "Father! Father! Are you here!?!" There was no reply.... Then with his grief stricken heart, he made his way back onto the train. Then as he was about to step onto the train. A man hugged him from behind and said,"My son you are finally back into my arms once again." Tears rolled down the Boy's face, and he cried out,"O Father, where were you all these years?" And the man replied,"Oh, my Son, I've always been there, I knew it was you, but I've been waiting all these years to finally hear you say FATHER! FATHER!" Then the Boy asked,"Can you prove to me that I'm your Son?" The man replied,"Everytime you fell down, I was always there to pick you up, whenever you dirtied your clothes, I gave you new clean ones, and when you did something wrong, I was always there to correct you." Then the boy turned around and hugged his Father and said,"Oh Father, I missed you." His Father then gave him brand new clothes, white as snow, clean as nothing you have ever seen before. Then, with tears rolling down each of their faces, they went back Home.

It's been awhile since I've posted anything like this.
As every story has it's purpose, so does this one.
The Boy in this story, is like us, child-like, naive to this world.
The Father in this story, symbolises God.
The Shady Stranger in this story symbolises the Devil.
The Beautiful White Train Station symbolises God's presence.
The Dirty Ugly Train Staion, symbolises the temptations of this world.
The Mud symbolises Sin.
'Pengemis' symbolises those who don't follow God's will and fall into sin.
The Other Boy is your Heart, where it tells you to go back to God.

Have you ever been in this situation, where you are tempted, and you give in to this temptation, you stray away from God, you stray away from His Love, His Presence. And then one day when you realised what you've done wrong, but everytime you try to go back to Him, you don't feel Him there, and you go back to your sins. God has always been there, it's just that you don't realise it, he's just waiting for you to just call out to Him.

If you are in Sin, look back at what you did, and what God did to forgive you. He sent Jesus to die on the cross, lived to die, the Son of God.

It takes us nothing to sin, but it cost'd God Everything....

It takes 2 steps back from sin to move 1 step closer to God,
