You are not Destined to the Dustbin!

I was thinking of throwing this "strechy" piece of thread. But, then I ended up making a wrist band with some "accessories"(which again were destined to the dustbin ;) )..

Moral of the story: If you are thinking that you are hopeless and your life has no purpose. How about asking GOD to reveal HIS purpose to you and to start working in your life? HE will surely show you the right directions. 

And who knows you might end up being something really beautiful you never thought of !

Remember JESUS loves you! and You are not Destined to the Dustbin !

HE Came To Set the Captives Free

Isn’t it preposterous when someone calls you a “Slave” or “Captive”? We live in a free country. We have our rights as free citizens. Yes, of course, we are accountable to our higher authorities, but we are NOT their slaves. We are FREE!

Are you sure? Are we really free? Can we really say that? How many of us have a habit that has become a part of our life. Some of those habits may be really good but not all of them. How many of us have had a thought we start struggling with, only to find the more we fight it the more we seem to get caught up in it. Some thoughts or actions might seem nothing at first but they end up being addictive and sometimes, even shameful. And then for some it even ends up being a repetitive guilty pleasure (no matter how happy you are doing it, you always end up being guilty).

We have all sailed the “Guilt Boat” at some point or the other in our lives. It’s easy to get caught in such situations when it all seems innocent at first but it doesn’t take long before it all gets messed up. You find yourself struggling to get out but it always seems too late. It’s become so repetitive and addictive that now you think “you can’t live without it”.

Isn’t that captivity? Well I am not here to judge. All I want to tell to all those who can relate to whatever was said earlier, is that there is an ANSWER! How about trying to give the reigns of your boat into the hands of Someone who actually cares about your wellbeing and is as much desperate as you are (may be even more!) to help you get out of your situation. Come on, you have nothing to lose. Haven’t you tried everything? What’s the harm in giving GOD a chance?

How about asking GOD who promises to love you no matter what, to take control of your life? Ask HIM to teach you to love yourself and not hurt yourself. Ask HIM to help you have control over your thoughts and actions. JESUS is a loving friend. HE is never going to get frustrated if you fail trying. HE will always be standing right next to you to pick you up and dust you off when you fail. HE is not going to condemn you when you fail. You can always trust HIM. The more you let HIM control your life the more control you will have over your own life! Trust me, experience talks!

And the best part is your mind is actually in your control. But sadly not many of us realize it. When you ask for GOD’s help he doesn’t steal your reigns away but HE helps you to steer your boat in the right direction! Now, how cool is that!

I hope you will one day let your guards down and give GOD a chance. All the best for a captivity FREE life!  And remember “HE Came to Set the Captives Free”!

Promised Land

Exodus 13:21,22

By day the LORD went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night.

Neither the pillar of cloud by day not he pillar of fire by night left its place in front of the people.

       Be it a day where your path is visible or night where everything is uncertain and doubtful, GOD is going to bring you help in the right form. GOD knows your needs. HE knows the pillar of fire in the morning and a pillar of cloud in the night is what you want. GOD understands you. And HE knows what you need and at what time. HE provides you with shade in the morning and with warmth in the chilly nights. HE is a good Father who cares for HIS children and an ideal mother who knows the child's need even without asking.

       

      The pillar of cloud and the pillar of fire didn't just stay in one place. Instead they were moving, guiding the people towards the Promised Land. GOD doesn't want you to have a stagnate life. Yes, HE wants you to take rest and HE also wants you to learn when you wait patiently for the cloud to move. But this doesn't mean HE wants you to settle for anything less than the Promised Land.

      

      GOD didn't just send any pillar of cloud or fire to his children. GOD HIMSELF was the Pillar of Cloud and the Pillar of fire. When GOD says "I will never leave you nor forsake you" HE means it. HE never makes any promise HE cannot fulfill.

     

      My dear friends GOD wants to tell you, HIS beloved chosen ones, that HE knows what you need and that HE will provide for it much better than you would have expected. Don't be frustrated because none of HIS promises seems to be coming true. HE will lead you towards the land which HE promised you. And lastly, HE will not just tell you the directions but HE will also walk you through all the roads that lead towards the Promised Land.

JESUS loves you! 

PLEASING GOD ALONE

But JESUS did not commit Himself to them, for HE knew all men, and had no need that anyone should testify of man, for HE knew what was in man.  John 2:24, 25

The desire to please men, to hear them testify well of you is futile. It is a time consuming, worthless desire. Nothing you do can please men. They will always find something better and a reason to justify why u were not up to the mark. Pleasing GOD also isn’t easy but it’s at least not futile. The time spent in pleasing GOD is always worthwhile. He understands our weaknesses and considers our efforts. There is nothing we can do to say that it was the best GOD could have ever got. No, we can’t! But we can always find him treasure the smallest gift that we give HIM. That’s because he loves us. And he cares for us.

JESUS knew men. HE knew what was in man. And that’s why he did not want to please them. HE chose to please GOD instead by doing HIS will. HE did not mind if men did not approve his teaching or refused to believe in the miracles HE did. HIS focus was not to attract those who did not want HIM; instead HE came for the needy. The ones who needed HIM, HE came for them. And HE didn’t allow anything of this world to lead HIM astray from HIS purpose.

Time and again the Jews asked HIM for a sign (1 Cor. 1:22) and then rejected the evidence that HE provided. HIS resurrection was the greatest proof of HIS deity (Matt. 12:38-40), but the Jews did not understand what HE was talking about. They would destroy the temple by crucifying HIM, but HE would triumph over them in HIS resurrection.

Today, if men do not appreciate u for the efforts you take, if the hard work that you put into is unnoticed, if you feel that no one wants to testify well of you let me tell you that it was also the same case with JESUS. HE has been through it all. He understands you.

And moreover we do deserve to be treated like this because we are born of flesh and we are sinners. We deserve what we get but its GOD who chooses to give us what we don’t deserve. And that’s the best. Wait on HIM and toil to please HIM. I bet. It will be worthwhile.

You Were Slapped and Spit Upon

Barren Womb to Bear a Child

The Blind Could See, the Mute Could Speak and Crippled Ran

Why Is That I Feel So Hard To Believe In YOU.

Open Your Eyes!!!

Last night I sat alone

Behind the curtains in the dark

I turned on the player to drown the screams in my head

I yelled at the top of my lungs

Cried like I’ve never cried before

I knew I was alone

Totally mute to the world

I asked "are YOU alive? Do YOU still care??”

"Can YOU see me? I am forsaken forgotten ",

"Do YOU have any idea!!!??”

Then I heard a gentle voice like a breeze in my ears

"OPEN UR EYES"

And there I was in HIS arms!!

I was always in HIS arms ... I had just closed my eyes

U my friend GOD will never leave u even if the world does...

HE cared n still does n will continue to do so!!

You r never Alone!!!

Just OPEN UR EYES!!! N you’d see HIM right next to u!!!
