Raindrops
A Collection of Deep Reflections
by SOFATU CELESTINE
Raindrops! A Collection of Deep Reflections is a work borne out of great suffering, confusion and seasons of extreme sadness, but thank God, my story does not end in defeat.
Within this book lies reflections, thoughts, and ideas which were penned from a Christian perspective spanning a period of approximately 10 years. Many times, we feel like we are all alone in this world, we feel like the whole world is crashing right under our feet, like the troubles in our lives will not just go away despite many prayers, positive thinking, and confession, etc. In fact, it feels like God has forgotten us or deleted us from His book. This was how I felt for the most portion of this book, but again, Thank God we are not forgotten and He causes the sun to shine and makes us smile again after the season of tears.
These reflections are meant to stir, remind and motivate us to understand the storms will not last forever; the darkness and suffering, even if not in this life, they will certainly come to an end. We serve a God who sees and pulls us through any kind of darkness we may be experiencing.
This book is categorized into four major themes, which are very familiar to all human beings and we can all relate to, such as Pain, Hope, God, and Life. Pain seems to be the dominant theme, but it is not to keep you in that prison, it is to show that you too can come out and be victorious. You can smile again and lift up your head as you become a light and source of inspiration to others in your life.
Please join me in this journey of pain, uncertainty, Victory, Triumph, and Hope, I can assure you that you will be inspired, encouraged and strengthened knowing that you are not alone and that you have a God who rides through the storms with you each and every day with the promise and hope of bringing you to your safe Haven.
