What God Wants from You

God is very kind and loving to those who trust and believe in Him. What does God want from you? Psalm 15 explores that very question:

Psalm 15 (King James Version)
  1. Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
  2. He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.
  3. He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.
  4. In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.
  5. He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.

God loves those who go to church to worship Him. He loves those who go to sacred places to praise Him. And God loves those who strive to do the right thing always.

So when you see a person who is good, smart, God-fearing and honest and who is one that everyone likes, then you must also strive to love and like that person. Don’t hate that person. We should not create stories on that person to hurt them. Don’t tell lies about the good person to hurt them. Remember you have to give count on the Day of Judgment.

God wants those who believe to do this:

  • Be faithful to Him.
  • Be kind to others without hurting them in any way.
  • Treat others with respect.
  • Visit and pray for those who are sick.
  • Loving is better than hatred.
  • Giving is better than taking.
  • Do all the good things you can do in God’s name but try not to hurt others and their feelings.

At the end you will receive according to your actions, whether good or bad. What you have done unto others you shall receive of yourself.

Finally, God wants us simply to be faithful to Him and to be good to others and ourselves. God wants us to be with Him, so we should prepare for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. We must strive for a place in His Eternal Kingdom, so that we may be with Him forever.

The Woman Who Raised Me

    Susee in Chilukuru, Andhra Pradesh (1981) I had the most pure, loving and beautiful mother. She was my best friend, my shining light, my first love, my baby girl and my hero. Mummy was filled with kindness, laughter, prayer and goodness. She was as fun-loving as she was solemn and wise. She gave everything to my family: kept us healthy, safe, confident and happy. I’ve always appreciated my mother for all these qualities and for so much more. But to lose her prematurely to devastating illnesses forced me into deeper reflection. I’m surprised that such a courageous and loving person ever existed and that she was my mother. She was selflessness and unconditional love personified. From the baby girl born in Narendrapuram to the woman she grew into: Mum always knew who she was. She was unwavering in her faith, lived as humbly as she did honourably and saw the best in everyone. Bullies may have tormented her but she never bowed down to them. She had the courage to face them, f...

Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind

John 9: 1-7 (1) As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. (2) His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" (3) "Neither this man nor his parents sinned," said Jesus, "but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life. (4) As long as it is day, we must do the work of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. (5) While I am in the world, I am the light of the world." (6) Having said this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man's eyes. (7) "Go," he told him, "wash in the Pool of Siloam" (this word means Sent). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing. (New International Version)
