Favour

You are doing no one but YOURSELF the favour by changing your ways.

Jeremiah(26:13) Now therefore mend your ways and your deeds, and obey the voice of the LORD your God, and the LORD will relent of the disaster that he has pronounced against you...Amen!!

He is Faithful!

It is the hand of the Lord that opened the Red sea,
Do not be terrified looking at those 'Waves' around you..

The Staff of the Lord will take you through.
May you stay focused on the path and keep marching..

Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it..(Philippians 1:6)

Peace

Dear brothers and sisters, As you begin your day today, I want to talk to you about 'Robin Williams', if you do a little google about him, you will get to see a lot of messages and obituaries from his friends, fans, all of which would speak about how great an inspiration he was, what a great human being he was, his charity work etc., you won't be able to find one negative thing about him. Even when you try and recollect his face, you only would see an ever smiling face. A man who made us happy.

A couple of days ago, I came across this article from an air hostess, sharing her experiences with him over the years, she goes on to tell, how good a person he was in spite of his 'celebrity' status. And how he always made her feel special, during the flight. Last night, I stumbled upon yet another article, where an event organizer or someone of that sort, talks about his encounter with him. All these celebrities, when they sign up for an act / movie / show, they give the organizers, I guess they call it a 'Rider' list,  which would basically contain everything, every little bit of things the artist would need during the production, it kind of would tell what kind of 'person' he / she is going by the requirements sort to speak. Now Mr.Williams' list, I guess would always (have) say that the studio / organizers would have to hire a certain number of 'homeless' people to work in that particular project. That was also one of his ways of touching lives in addition to other philanthropy works of his..

Now,  we are looking at a man who had everything, and he did everything he could for people around him, yet he could not find his peace, he died a lonely death, they say 'suicide' it was.

We too are 'Robin Williams' in some way, we try and inspire people when we can, we try to keep everyone around us happy, we do charity in our own small ways, we try and make a difference in this world with our little deeds.

We need to understand that all of this would only give us 'SATISFACTION'.. The real 'PEACE' can come only through Christ

(John 14:27) Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

May we examine our hearts this morning, beyond all our 'satisfactions' May we find HIM. May we find 'Peace'.

What good it is to gain the whole world, but loose ones soul? (Matt 16:26)

Good Morning and God Bless!!

Believe

(John 3:16) For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever 'BELIEVES' in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
My dear bothers and sisters, The promise is very clear 'whoever' 'BELIEVES'. To believe is to put all your trust in him. To walk, even when you don't see any 'light at the end of the tunnel'.
May we all learn to 'walk in faith' and 'walk the faith'...Amen!!

Make Time

The 'In-Between' Time...

The in-between time, waiting... for your transportation to arrive, to pick your child up from school, for the coffee pot to boil, for the office email to download...You have a lot of 'In-between' time at hand out of your BUSY day. Those 'In-between' times can become the time between you and your creator. May you find time for him....Amen!

Judge NOT!

God does not need your help in judging anyone. May Thy focus be on HIM and Him alone..Amen!!

Be Cheerful

The Lord wants for us all to have a cheerful spirit.

For our 'Daily Work Load' cannot be heavier than his cross..

Neither 'The Betrayals' are going to put us face to face with Death..

He Died so that you and I can LIVE..

He ROSE so that you and I may never Fall..

Amen!!

Call Unto Him

If the Lord could create the whole wide world and was able to put everything in it in just seven days, How difficult can it be for him to get you and me from the current situation we are in? (Psalms 50:15) Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I shall rescue you, and you will honor Me." (Jeremiah 29:11) For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Amen!!

The Appointment

Your rest of day would most definitely be 'DISAPPOINTING' if you don't make the first 'APPOINTMENT' for the day with him...Amen!! May your day start with the Lord, For He Says, (Jeremiah 33:3) "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know". (Isaiah 42:16) "I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them".

Love

If you keep 'JUDGING' people, you would never find time to 'LOVE' them..Amen! (1 Corinthians 13) "4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails".

His Love

May his unfailing love help get us through all our failures, And May his hope of peace help put us at ease..Amen! Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed," says the LORD, who has compassion on you. (Isaiah 54:10)

Guilt

It is the GUILT and not GOD that would stop you from experiencing his Grace... Amen!!

The Ugly Duckling

'Ugly Ducklings' that we all are, It's just a matter of time that we are going to realize what a Beautiful Swan the Lord was going to turn us into... It reminds me of the song "He's still working on me, To make me what I ought to be..." Praise God!! Amen!!

A New Beginning

He pulled you and me from the deepest of the trenches, We may have wandered away Today,We may have forgotten our calling, But He's the 'Same' God Yesterday, Today & Forever (Hebrews 13:8)... Do not loose hope, For He says, "For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland." (Isaiah 43:19) He will make something new today - Amen!!

The Help Desk

The God we worship does not sit at the 'Escalation Desk' He sits right at the 'FRONT' desk, waiting to hear every cry of yours.. (Jeremiah 33:3) ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’ He is not the last resort,Always keep him as your only Resort! (Revelation 1:8) “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord,“who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” - Amen!!

The Door

The doors to our hearts opens (only) from the inside. We have been hoarding the place with all our fears, anxieties, worries, hopelessness and what not, that the doors are now jammed with all the dump. Unless we clear it all out, The Lord cannot come in. It's about time we cleaned the place up, Grab your Prayer Mops now...Amen!! (Revelation 3:20) "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me."

Keep Marching!

When you feel 'pushed around', Do not feel dejected.. It's just may be the Lord is giving you a 'KICK-start' you might need to inherit his blessing. Keep moving..Keep marching.. Amen!

The Hope

Our hopes and dreams about the future may be limited to our thoughts, But The Lord is going to establish you and me as a great nation through limitless possible ways!..Amen!! (Proverbs 3:5)"Trust in the Lord with all your heart" (Jeremiah 29:11)"For I know what I have planned for you,’ says the Lord. ‘I have plans to prosper you, not to harm you. I have plans to give you a future filled with hope". (Genesis 12:2)"I will make you a great nation;I will bless you,And make your name great;And you shall be a blessing"...Amen!!

The Way

You could either stop and ask for directions or keep doing the roundabouts at every ‘Traffic Circle’.. What’s going to be your choice today? (Matthew 21:22) “And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.” Tell you what though, this “Traffic sergeant” is never going to be wrong!! – Amen!!!

The Lost Sheep

When trouble crumbles you down, Remember,he stretched out his hands some two thousand years ago, called you by your name.. (Isaiah 43:1) "O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine" He's patiently waiting for you and me, his arms still outstretched! May we turn to his voice today..(John 10:3) "and the sheep recognize his voice and come to him" May we find rest in him this day..Amen!!
