The Sun Rises in Bangladesh


 It was the biggest sun I've seen!
My camera couldn't capture the sight as we were moving very fast so I used my friend's more advanced camera and though it worked well, still it's nearer and clearer to behold with my naked eye.



 It looked like a red fire ball above the misty green field.
The country's banner then made more sense to me.



Verses came flooding to my mind as I behold such magnificent and powerful thing that could scorch the whole earth!



Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed,
 for His compassions never fail.
They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
Lamentations 3:22 (NIV)



 Because of tender o f God's tender mercy, 
the morning light from heaven is about to break upon us, 
to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, 
and to guide us to the path of peace.
Luke 1:78-79 (NLT)



As we drove fast at dawn from Dinajpur down to Khulna for 12 hours,
the sun traveled with us to the extreme side.

For as high as the heavens are above the earth, 
so great is his love for those who fear him;
 as far as the east is from the west, 
so far has he removed our transgressions from us. 
Psalm 103: 11-12 (NIV)

So, now when I wake up in the morning, I'm reminded that the sun also rises in Bangladesh, 
even more beautifully.

Before I go, allow me thank you for your tolerance with my English as (I am sure you have figured this at this moment ,), English is not my number one tongue so I am using Google Translate to figure out what to enter what I actually wish to say.
