Closet Before Closet After
This past week, I participated in service project to redecorate our Sunday School space. Last Sunday, my heart dropped at looking at the garbage full closet. How were we going to do this? Sunday School started in exactly one week. Would this transformation actually happen? Shoving my thoughts aside, I rolled up my sleeves, and joined the other volunteers. I guess all we could do is try.
Throughout the week, magically, the room began to take shape, thanks to the selfless service of two of our community members. I stood back and marveled how slowly but surely, the closet became empty, and the walls became refreshed with new paint. By the time Sunday rolled around, the room transformed into a beautiful new oasis for all of our Grades 6-8 students.
Krishna boldly declares in the Gita:
But those who always worship Me with exclusive devotion, meditating on My transcendental form — to them I carry what they lack, and I preserve what they have.
As I stood in our new space, my heart filled with gratitude and joy. I could feel the hand of Lord Krishna in our efforts. While we possessed no knowledge or plan as to how this project would take shape, somehow or the other Krishna reciprocated with us just as He promised in the Gita. He sent us the volunteers, the will power, and the patience to make the impossible possible. I need to remember God's promise more often.
