somethings you shouldn't give back

I was grumbling why i end up being rejected even though i don't mean any harm to these people. Thats when it crossed my mind that Jesus was always accused for things that were so-not-him but did he ever react? nope calm and peaceful, he spoke only when had to and that too wise.
Then i said thats because he knew who he was, he knew he was way above them all(just a perspective i came up with) but then again these words just answered 'then why don't you know who you are? you are a beloved child of God!'

Now those Jesus thoughts above, are like water in a desert to me.
Doesn't matter what and how people talk to you( even if you are being the sweetest you can.) there is no hierarchy among you and that person, both of you are humans created by God. None of us have the right to blame the other but yes at certain situations it is a necessary action, but we should deal with it in a wise manner, eliminate anger and pride from here. Instead be wise, think before you speak especially when you are angered. After all someday even we were culprits in some situation.

We go through many not-so-happy times in our life which put in negative perspectives in our mind but if you just go through with a right attitude, thats when you could be a blessing. and you realise then that every situation in your life was a process of shaping you to who you are supposed to be.
Once a friend advised me 'take everything wholeheartedly' and that did ease my mind in many situations.

shell break

I wanted a change, i was determined to get it soon...what i got was a revelation of Jesus life.

He was rightfully the king, but he was born in a less than normal place, placed in a manger. We don't read of him showing off who he was and what he did. He didn't strike those how were against him.

But how he lived...so simple, so loving and caring yet every action showed wisdom and authority.

We need to mature in these aspects, we need to accept that we can live like Jesus..yes we are sinners but at least trying our best to be like him would bring out the good in us. There was this book that caught my mind, 'In his steps' it was about how people in a church take up this oath on asking the question "What would Jesus  do?" before the actions they take, and how their lives change. It may not look like the best act from a normal persons view but its something that ends out to be a blessing genuinely for someone and you.

You want to know how to deal with some situations or react, why not think 'What would Jesus do?' Its an amazing thought and i tell you can change you and people around you.

Have read you read in the Gospel how the people dragged Jesus to a cliff to push him off, now what did Jesus do to deserve that..all he was doing was save them from their fate, he wanted them to change.
If Jesus went through such situations why shouldn't we?
By the way how did Jesus react did he burn them? Nope he just withdrew away from the crowd. When someone accuses you if its right accept it and learn how to do the right but if its false just let it be, i mean let them say what they want to, it doesn't change what you are. God will take care of it, depend on him, call him to help you know whats right. God is soo amazing, wonderful and his ways are what you would call beautiful and unthinkable, so lets live how he made us to live. Just break through that shell that never let the bad things out and kept echoing them back to you. Ask your creator and he'll give you the strength to break out of it, the broken shell pieces may scratch you as you come out but imagine you give up to those hurts but look at the big picture, once your done with the shell its brightness, a life so different from the suffocating shell, this new freedom gives you courage to move on. Let those little bruises be don't give up, it is your testimony of how you overcame the shell.

Whats above you..

In the Gospel of John you can see the wonderful humility of Jesus where he washes and wipes the legs of his disciples. I never quite understood  that event till i read it last time, thats when i read the lines after these verses that tells us to see others above us.

Now this 'see others above you' statement can be taken in different ways by people.One such harmful way is when we place ourselves too low, this way we loose our chances, some times get inferior and discouraged too.I feel what we really need to do is stay where you are, as in don't place yourselves below anyone but place them above you( i hope you get it). Its more like respecting every other human around you, that way your not forcing your self to be humble but you are by choice.

When your about to get in que or take a seat in a bus, what would you do if someone else wanted to do the same and you both acted together? Why don't you let go and let them go ahead, be the good guy. That doesn't mean you let go of what you want to do and let the others run over you but you'll know when its fine to just let go (In fact i think its best to let go as many times as possible but yea..)

Most of the time we don't want to let go because we want to show the others that we are better or that we can have it our way, now thats what i told 'let others be above you', you don't have to show them your better than them. Both of you were created by the same God, you have been gifted with your own individual uniqueness, maybe the other person doesn't realise but you do know so why be the spoilsport when you can be that nice person.
Jesus stays where he is, what i mean to say is he is God, he is supreme over everything yet he is humble..He sees all our troubles above everthing, he wants our happiness, he cares for us. He took our well being above his, He took the suffering we were supposed to go through on himself. He gave his life for us and he is our GOD. Where more do you want to search or learn humility from?

for Him

I can face the darkness and hurt
I know He he took the worst in there,
He took it on himself & saved me!!

But now i hurt him,
i keep forgetting what he did for me.
and all i want tell Lord is i'm sorry,
Jesus i'm sorry.
you wiped the darkness from my loneliness,
you gave me light in the dungeon,
you held me when i was weak.

O Lord! O Lord! O Lord!
i know i'm not worthy
but i know you are me father
and i'll never ever let you go.

i'll let them crush my heart for you
i'll let them pierce me cause i love you
because you are my Mighty and Wonderful God!
your much more than everything for me.
i love you and trust you father!

Live the chance like its the only one

In Acts we see Paul was shifted among many leaders and places following his capture. Probably you have noticed Paul used all his hearings to tell some thing about God(if not all, most of them).
When ever i read those portions in Acts i just get amused at how the situation even through was meant to be a terror for him, was used by him. It was like a path to get the gospel there and it was.

Paul used every situation to spread the good news. He didn't let his helpless situation stop him, now thats what we need to do. Go on an 'i don't care, i just want the other humans saved!' spree.
Even as we take such a step we should be on our guard from the different emotions, discouragements and many other hurts but that doesn't mean we should avoid it too instead we need to face them with the knowledge of how to deal with them. That knowledge is not some big star that comes to only the lucky few but it comes as i experienced(still in process) from proper reading of Bible, discussing the Bible and daily life with friends who are growing in Christ daily and close relationship with the Holy Trinity.

We need to rise up as the Pauls and Peters of this generation. I pray God be with all of us as we move on.

When pain is pleasure

In Acts21 Paul's dedication and love for Jesus is shown. When i read it i was amazed by the boldness he and no hesitation at all. If you look back at Paul's life, its really wonderful how he changed by that event. It is written that after he was blinded he didn't eat for few days(till Ananias came and prayed).
I couldn't help but think what must have been going through him at that certain period of time, he would have been repenting or realising the truth. What ever happened whats good is he didn't let his past acts affect him, he just moved on the right way when it struck him.

Everyone goes through some situation or another where you just can't help but get worried and the sad part is all that happens is the worrying. Instead just pray or ask God 'can this burden be taken away  but  let your will happen, all i need is you by my side to help me through'. This way you won't be commanding God to take it away but asking if theres a way.

Another wonderful thing to do when your in trouble is to praise God for what ever he has given you, even your crazy situation. Trust me you can feel the peace even if those mountains start closing in.
Theres always a way out, for me its through God.

Its written in the Bible, the disciples praised God for the suffering they had to go through. Now thats what we the disciples need to do.

Face the battle & it will be fought.

A nice cozy home, the perfect job, a life where i get to do what i want and only people who please me around..this is my imaginary ideal life. Imagine if life was like this how everyone would be, you wouldn't be living life.
Every time i have some problem with somebody, i keep wishing if i was away from all the buggers and people who ruin things you want to do, i would be the happiest person. But thinking close to the topic i think this is life, were you need problems and obstacles and no its not my idea, i have been inspired from the Bible to live such a life. It helps you not give up in life. Living with people who don't have the view you have is difficult but  trying to not be the black sheep here is a good way to live.

Right now if anybody would ask me sincerely whats up, i just want to scream out, theres so much hurt packed in i just want to run away. I don't feel like i can face it but there was this vision that i read in a book, it came to my mind...'a ladder was joining the sky and earth and there are clouds blocking you sight after a certain level. people were climbing up and after they disappeared beyond the clouds they would just fall down and the crowd waiting to climb would scatter in panic.Now it was the narrators turn to climb, he was above the clouds and couldn't see anything but  still was determined too climb. As he kept moving he saw a tiny light ahead, it was getting brighter and bigger as he got closer. Then he remembered he was on a ladder and just observed what was around, the dark clouds freaked him and he was about to stumble but just thought of the  light and looked ahead and he was fine..lo'   What this vision tells us is to focus on God not your problem, we get problem as we get closer to God , he is preparing us for the purpose we are to accomplish here for him. Facing our daily problems is like going an army training camp before the war.

My effort right now is to take everything that comes my way wholeheartedly and i hope to do that.

Let your judge be wise..don't judge

What can we get out of quenching our lust, worldly desires? more fuel for the burning pride and just temporary happiness or what ever that mean good feeling is.
Most of the humans or at least the people around me and yes myself have this really mean habit of judging people just like that. Now the thing is that what right do we have to do that, its more like a moving cat with a bell around its neck complaining about the noise made by the other cats.
This is exactly what we do..One of the things i detest is the hypocrite in me, which is one of reasons why i write here..so i try my best to be an example of what i write and it pokes me when i do otherwise.
The judge within you won't let you judge others and condemn  them when you yourself had seen that thorn in your life. I don't mean if a murder has been done you let murderer free from the actions of law, i'm talking about our daily scenes when make us gossip and hurt others.

We need to be examples in this world not of dominating power or accomplishment of selfish needs that took you to heights of luxury and boosted you pride, but of the greatness that comes out of simple values from your conscience and heart. Being the terrible humans we are, we definitely deserve to be struck by lightning( some word or action of ours deserves wrath) but the loving and merciful God, our creator never wants to see us hurt, then how do you think it would be to him when we hurt each other by our acts.

All of us want to be loved, it is a genuine and true desire from your heart even if you don't know. So just keep radiating and know that you are always being showered with the grace and love to do it the way you were created to. It never hurts to be a blessing, even though it does you will enjoy it..theres a joy that lifts you in those hard moments and thats the power of the grace  poured on you.
Just ask for it and its yours, its that simple with our God, you don't need a ritual or some difficult way to get to him. You will go through difficulties  when you start getting close to the Almighty Lord but that a preparing ground for you and every situation you face you can overcome. No matter whats happening around you all you nee to do is just stand in front of the mountain and he'll move it for you. Thats the amazing grace that guards us.

The Need than want

On a mission to tame my immaturity i have come across the sins i am committing daily.The best or worst(i dunno what really) part is that it makes me shameful when i reflect on my sad acts. I have been realising what i need to understand to keep myself at peace. My mind is not stable most of the time, i'm in a search for stability but this stability i need isn't what the world knows but its the simple truth. Believing that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.

When i'm down what i want is somebody who cares with me and thats not possible at most circumstances.
What i always fail to see here is the one help i need thats the Holy Spirit now i'm blind to this fact most of the time when i need him and yet don;t know hes there. Now this situation where i know deep inside hes there for me but my mind can't seem to swallow whole this truth, i did a tiny observation and realised that my lack of communication/prayer with God is why my mind can't go ahead with what i know deep in.

Prayer is not a ritual, shouldn't be done out of compulsion but its a simple talk or a personal conversation with the one who understands you really well. I like to picture my praying as the surrender of a restless child who just never learns till he falls. But once you realise what made you feel empty you never want to let go of that beautiful comforter. When we ignore the Holy Spirit its like when you got some new books you put the dictionary you got first that helped you to read and understand in the bottom most shelf because you feel like a scholar and gradually piled more books and stuff on it but later when you need it, you need to take off all the you piled on it and lo its there.
Thats what happens, dust covers the spirit within which is willing but our worldly flesh just doesn't realise and when we do realise, it needs one or more brushings to get hold of what is your dear need.

Deaf to negative

There are always times when all i want to do is change people around me, i have been sick of all this complaining  around...only if i could just yell at them and get things my way! and stay happy forever!!

That is what my immature mind concludes always but i do know otherwise too, a way which is peaceful, might hurt us initially but the joy that comes from this withstanding is amazing. when that joy hits you you know that was what was missing in your life.

There is a stage in life when everything seems so meaningless and your very existence is questioned by you.
Now this phase i would say is a natural chance to find the real you, the person you where made to be.
Sadly not always does it come out to you the way it was meant to but worldly fog keeps us from the true vision.

What we need to know is don't get influenced by the world around you. Its the dark stuff thats influencing the ages in disguise. It does hurt when people judge you by the standards of the world but what is it to us we do what that peace in our mind gives us, not deliberately hurting anyone and just what meant to be good for humankind.

Treat people around you the way you want to be treated by them...but still always keep in mind not everyone might react well, some might never thank you, hurt your feelings but we don't know whats in their mind something must be hurting them( from past or just something) so just be good no matter what.
Let giving be your policy no matter what. Its always been like that from the true heroes whether its life or something simple but yes be wise before you jump.

We ought to remember that all our changes come from the one who never changes.

sheep in humans

Been awhile since i have been noticing the sheep in me..sheep is not mentioned here as the calmness or anything like that but the irresponsible, absentminded and yes ignorant person that i am.

Now i don't mean to insult the animal sheep but we are referred to as sheep looked after by the shepherd.

It never struck me until i had read elsewhere that  the sheep and us humans connect in certain character like we always end up in some trouble, helpless and all that happened because of our acts.

Now i mastered in the sheepishness that of reacting without thinking, i call it me reflex reaction on behalf of which most my hurts and dark sides grew. I react to a situation without reflecting why, who and when.

This went on repeating for days till i decided 'thats it, i gotta get out!' 

What motivates me to change from my unwanted actions is always Jesus my best friend, HES always amazed me and yes

i know i'm that silly sheep always but he loves me no matter what and the best part is hes not dumping you if you don't change now but gives you time and teaches you through the process and even better you never know till you reach a point and you just realised that you don't make it an issue when someone complains about you or hurts you. And eventually all my credit goes to the Holy Spirit for always being my guide.

We need a shepherd to guide and care for us and exactly what we have all have is him, just realise it.

Amazingly wonderful flame

Many the population rejected and hurt

but not a care to the proud winners,

they proud of what, their selfish ambitions

they ground for more, jealous and addictions;

But the hurt and rejected have hope,

a candle awaits oxygen in their darkness,

only just breath the li'l  they can

and the flame will brighten the inside 

and no blame will claim the outside.

But the proud have hope too,

drench the pride with humility

as a bride to humanity,

the day will come ring the world

and eternally sing the peace.

  

What more do we need when we have the acceptance of our creator. Hes the only that loves us the way we are, he doesn't care about our weakness and never complains about our acts and ways.

Hes truly remarkable to love this huge sinner that i am. I deserve none of his blessings yet he showers them on me. I lay my life for him and glorify his name for every second in my life from when i was born till now and its goes on and on. His glory is brighter than the sun, the only beam that makes me want to live everyday. Amazing God, adore him loads!!

Trust why?

Aren't all the fights and quarrels always related to trust? Why is it so hard to trust people?

What usually happens is you end up trusting people you shouldn't have or you don't trust those you need to.

Its a sad shame to mankind how our foolishness, well not that word then i would say we have fixed in our minds what is ultimate which this blind world  thinks is the ultimate for us being here or they don't have a reason  at all. What people think they gain from their worldly acts is an illusion which lasts really temporary.

From the beginning humans kept breaking the trust of God, but we do have people mentioned in the book who always cherished God above their lives and i say their lives would be the most meaningful and beautiful lives lived including Jesus Christ. I never find words to talk about Jesus, hes truly wonderful and amazing. The gospel of John i feel shows deeply about Jesus in another perspective making it my favorite gospel. All the gospels talk about Jesus life on earth in different perspectives and all lead you to the same conclusion and wonder on how beautiful God is, what hes done for us is truly something to be boasted around the world and i pray the trumpets be blown. If anybody needs our trust i say God needs it, its amazing when you just trust him no matter what.  

ITS COMING..

'RAPTURE!'...have you heard of it? If not its one of the signs that the judgement day is close. Its gonna be the blessed moment for those awaiting it but yes its in the Bible that if two are there one will be taken up but i'm not sure what that really tlls.

From the few months ago i have been reading and hearing that the time is nearing..we don't know when and where, it'll be anytime.
PEOPLE!! just find out the truth you don't want to be mourning for the rest of your being, heaven & hell is no joke! You are living and you were created..know who who he is..if he created you he did with a purpose and he definitley created you out of love..what your going through is a test, its preparing you to be that wiseman!

We aren't living to satisfy a religion or people around us, we have a purpose and it was written when our creator ever thought of us the first time!
I have never had love for people other than in family and friends but now as i'm knowing my God i realise
he made us all, we are his children and his heart beats for us. Even the fact that we worry about everything in our lives hurts him because if we knew him why would we worry..hes our father, would he just forsake us? never! he cares and loves us always..he knows what we go through and how much we can withstand and he knows..
Now Jesus came to earth lived and went through all that suffering for you and me, if you read the Bible and sincerely, you'll see he had gone through so much mentally and physically..He could have just struck all those against him with lightning..but he was so amazing he forgave and but now look most of the world haven't heard or if they have they refuse to believe. Now we know he did go through pain that a human goes through and he chose to do it for us, now we can't tell God 'listen your God and you have never gone through any pain ! you have no idea what i'm going through!' but the truth is that he knows every bit of what your going through and hes right there next to you, all you need to do is realise that.. All you need to do is face the battle and God will fight it for you!
Now just imagine you made something with care and spending your time and even though you know its not everlasting when it gets damaged you are sad..then imagine God he made us with all the love and care to be his children and made us to live eternally in heaven worshiping him, won't he be devastated when many of us will end up in the ever burning lake of fire!


He wishes us all, every single soul to be saved and in heaven enjoying his eternal riches! we are not late but know the turth!

Uniquely Similar

Its so amazing to know we have someone who never changes even though we do, who never judges us and gives us all the love we can get, this unconditional love we get gives peace even if everything is crumbling and hurting you.
Most people have the misconception that only some are unique or say special..but the truth is all of us are. In fact i think all the humans were meant to be special as in being special was meant to be a normal thing..but yes we fell and are always deceived unless we realise, experience the truth.

Everybody just wants to be understood, what hurts us most is when someone reacts the way we never expected or the way we wouldn't have. Now we need to be careful how we react, people are watching you even though it might just be some random passerby, why if your making a difference, let it be a good one.
People naturally are supposed to be attracted to good behaviour but yes these days its money, cloths and blah.

So people even have ended up with the understanding that live the way the world is changing but i say there should be a joyful change. Not just happy but something that gives inner joy to all with out considering who, what and where. These are not my teaching but what i have read and learnt from the wonderful people around me..and that did teach me people around you can make you change just by their actions and words.

tiny lamp in the shadows

Look at the people around you..there is goodness in everyone, just some may be shadowed with their troubles and issues.
What we can do to bring a tiny spark in them which can lead to brightness is a smile, the way you look at them, respond to them or doing something nice and simple for them. It brightens their day as well as yours.

I have noticed ever since i have been working on my patience and 'don't bother if people think you are silly because your sweet' attitude... i'm living life, i mean maybe not but i am a li'l happy deep inside somewhere..thats what i would want people to do when i'm blue.

And all this certainly gives you a special feeling..spreading Gods love!
All of us are dearly special to our creator...and we are used to make a difference in many lives, we may never know though so don't ever miss your chance to do something good.

simple understanding can bring happiness around (even if you won't know)

Patience is one thing most of us find hard to deal with...theres nothing much when we think about it but experience it and then you get to know why its a cool fruit.
Some times people just get impatient not really because they are but just the surroundings and something makes them just go blow out.

Now this patience is a skill that everybody can possess and it develops with practice through experience..and if you were that ' i can't stand it person' you'll be happy that you changed and amazed how you did. But it does take prayers too, a small one at least..you get it when your desperate!

In this present age of  'Fix yourself on the goal no matter what!' patience is seen as a weakness but that only what people think..its definitely worth for the peace you experience. With your impatient behaviour it can hold you blind to the problems around you and what you could have done to help.
you may not know what an other person is going through so its best to be patient whether your the boss, the employee, a person crossing the road or at a restaurant.

Looking back at what i was and the changes, i'm amaze by what God can make out of a mere person.
i have been changed by what i failed to see most of my life...God's amazing LOVE.
Most of us can't seem to understand it but the truth is just let go and it captures you like an eagle.

we just don't get it some times..right? we feel that our sins can't be cleansed but wasn't all that Jesus had to go through enough?!!! Yes open up, understand what he did for us...hes so full of love and care and everything nice...he suffered for us and we complain about the so called big problems we go through...i say we ought to check out Jesus life and realise he went through all we went through and even more. He is our refuge and understanding God..He is our everything. The gospels carefully tell about Jesus journey in life..understand it and know. God bless.
