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.
