Why ?

We read in newspapers everyday about bomb blasts,earthquakes, floods and terrorism.Recently we read about Big Bang experiment,and people are living with fear and uncertainity.In Orissa , churches are burnt, many innocent people are driven into forests, many have lost their houses and belongings.Many are hungry,hiding for their lives.Why all these things?We are nearing the end of this world. End time happenings must warn us to prepare ourselves for eternity.The Lord is coming again to reward His people and punish others.Let us be prepared to meet Him.

You reap what you sow.

The proverb warns us to be careful in our words and deeds.Some think that their words are not so important, but I tell you they are the most important.God says that we should not take revenge on anybody who does any harm to us, He will look after His children.This is my experience in many occasions.Sometimes, people may hurt us with their words.Keeping quiet at that time is very difficult to ordinary people.But God"s children know that nothing happens to them without His permission.So they have peace of mind.They see with their own eyes how God takes revenge for them.That doesn"t mean that we are cursing them. If they do it intentionally ,God will not allow His children to suffer from it.So be relaxed and see how God works .

True to God?

Many of us are not really true to God. He wants us to be true in our hearts.Most of us are not so.We are not true to God or man.He wants us to speak from our hearts. But we pretend to be loving and kind-hearted in our words but our actions are different. We read the Bible, pray to God,go to church and even going for gospel work.When we have to be true in our relationships, we are not able to do so. Let us examine our behaviour,and change it too with His help.Then only we are true to Him and make Him happy.

God"s Kingdom.

When Jesus Christ was living in this world,He said that first we must seek the kingdom of God,and every thing will be added unto us.God"s kingdom is not mere material prosperity. Many rich people are not enjoying peace in their lives. To have real peace, we must read the Word of God every day, we must pray for His guidance,in every walk of life.Without God, our life will be a chaos.God"s kingdom is not eating and drinking alone.It is more than that. It gives real meaning to life.Let us live a meaningful life and build God"s kingdom.

Old age.

Many people feel unwanted in their family, just because they are old.If you are a sensible person, it is not so. Recently, I was reading a book about getting old.The author rightly puts it this way.Making oneself freely available to others will prove to be exciting sources of joy.The old people should think that they are strong enough to guide younger ones.They must be young in spirit.They can help if they feel healthy. Some old people suffer from imaginary sickness.Young people must understand the old people and try to respect them.

Just a minute please,

Hello,my dear married women, I would like to say a few words to you.If you are hurt , try to correct yourself. Do you really love your mother _in_law as you love your own mother? Just try to do so and then you will realise what a lot of blessing you missed because of not loving her .When she is sick, you just sit near her and listen to her complaints.This will make her love you more and bless you more.Some of you may murmur that you are doing all things for her,but she needs only your care and affection. And nothing more than that.Will you try to do so please ?

Forgive and forget.

The title is easy to understand but very hard to practise. When Jesus lived in this world, He practised what He preached. We call ourselves His followers,but are we like Him? Definitely we are not.When we come across situations which affect our self respect,we must remember our saviour who is our role model.Just think about how He tolerated all tortures, all insults,and all humiliation.When we compare our situations with His, we will forgive,and also forget .What we have to do is, we must sit calmly, and analyse the things.We are God's children and we must be different in our reactions. Then we will find no reason to get angry with anyone who insulted us.God will take revenge of the people who disturbed us. I used to think of my favourite verse,"Let me be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind."You may also try this.
