Time

For those of us who cannot FIND time for God, Remember, The Devil walks around like a roaring lion (1 Peter 5:8), and if the Lord would take his eyes of you, even for a second, he would devour everything you have worked for, your entire life, including your life!
May we search our lives and May we make time for our MAKER..Amen!!

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!

Be On Guard

Leaders, Those of you appointed to lead the flock, Choose your words wisely and act with caution. Remember it is the Lord, who has made it come to pass. Even if one sheep goes astray because of your deeds, you are accountable for the blood..

(Jeremiah 23:1) "Woe to the shepherds who are destroying and scattering the sheep of my pasture!" declares the LORD.

He Can...He ALONE Can...

God wants us to know 'HE CAN'.. He wants us to believe that 'HE ALONE CAN'...

We have people in our lives that are Angry, Sour, Bitter, Manipulative, lying, Stealing, Adulterers and what not...The Lord is willing to take them all in, ARE WE?? He has a place for them all in his kingdom, DO WE??

We ourselves have all been one or many of these 'persons', at some or many occasions in our lives. We still continue to be so at times, yet we seek for his forgiveness and mercy. May we also learn to be forgiving and accepting to those that are struggling with these areas in life.

We can make a whole lot of list and many more of such things to HATE someone, During such times remember, He had only one reason to die for you and me on the cross. LOVE.

May you and I learn to Love and NOT JUDGE each other..
May you and I learn to forgive and NOT FORGET each other..

It is not going to be easy, God never promised it was going to be easy, Remember "small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it" (Matthew 7:14). However 'We can do all things with CHRIST who strengthens us'

May you and I find our hope and peace in HIM.
May you and I give up on ourselves and be dependent on HIM.

May you and I believe HE CAN and HE ALONE CAN...Amen!!
