You Are Not!!

You are No Mistake..

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 2:10)

You are Not Forgotten..

See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands;
Your walls are continually before Me. (Isaiah 49:16)

You are Not Small..

I will make you a great nation;
I will bless you, And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing. (Genesis 12:2)

And You will Never be a Failure..

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.(Isaiah 41:10)

The Lord Shall Repay

Romans 12: (19-21) Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. On the contrary:
“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
 If he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.”
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. - Amen!!

How Much Longer??

There is a dark place that we all love to corner ourselves into,
NO! We do not want to step outside of that world..
YES!! we are terrified that we will get hurt again..
GOOD It is!! rather we say, to stay inside that HOLE..

Lingering somewhere in our hearts though, is just one question,
How much longer??!! How much longer the pain, the suffering??

It is the same question, we need to ask ourselves,
How much longer, are you and I going to hold ourselves captive?
How much longer, are we going to be prisoners in our own thoughts?
How much longer, are we going to put ourselves through this??

Thus Says The Lord,
(Psalm 50:15) "Then call on me when you are in trouble, and I will rescue you, and you will give me glory."
(Matthew 11:28) "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."

There's just one condition though,

(James 1:6) "But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt".

Amen!!

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!!
