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) Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour. 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. 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 mus...

Title: Resurrection The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you." So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them. "Greetings," he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me." (NIV)

When you are Suffering with Illness: What Thoughts Come to Mind?

The Miracle of Christ Healing the Blind by El Greco Over the past four months, I have been ill with different physical ailments. This is why I have not posted as often as I had intended to do on this blog. When I am ill, I always turn to God in prayer. And He always listens to my prayers, providing me with a great deal of help. For a few days during my suffering, I had such thoughts as these: “Why God? Why? Since my childhood days—when I’d known any knowledge of the world and of Heaven and God and Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, I was and still am very faithful to you. Why must there be so much suffering for me?” Then I opened the Bible, and the following verses came before my eyes: Book of John, Ch 9: 1-3 Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind 1As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2His 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 tha...

Night Watch

In The Garden

Image Courtesy: Indian Institute of Science Lyrics from my favorite song : In The Garden I come to the garden alone While the dew is still on the roses And the voice I hear, falling on my ear The Son of God discloses And He walks with me And He talks with me And He tells me I am His own And the joy we share as we tarry there None other has ever known He speaks and the sound of His voice Is so sweet the birds hush their singing And the melody that He gave to me Within my heart is ringing And He walks with me And He talks with me And He tells me I am His own And the joy we share as we tarry there None other has ever known I'd stay in the garden with Him 'Tho the night around me be falling But He bids me go; through the voice of woe His voice to me is calling And He walks with me And He talks with me And He tells me I am His own And the joy we share as we tarry there None other has ever known. --by Austin C. Miles and Robert Hebble, 1946 word, music ASCAP

Christian Quotes from C.S Lewis

Source: Allposters.com "The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us; just as the roof of a sunhouse does not attract the sun because it is bright, but becomes bright because the son shines on it." "Faith is the art of holding on to things your reason has once accepted in spite of your changing moods."-- C.S Lewis Source: ChristianQuotes.org

How Can You Create Authentic Power Within You?

First of all, it doesn’t happen right away. To align your personality with your soul does not happen right away…just because you want it to. It takes lots of time. Every time you set your mind to: create harmony, cooperate, and show and keep reverence for life—you begin the process. It works slowly, step by step. The more you align your personality with your soul, the more you naturally do what is in your heart. Doing this means, listening to your heart, this in turn means that you are more towards your way of spirituality. Then your life will have full meaning and happiness. It is in this way that you create authentic power. What is Authentic Power? It means unity of the spirit with your soul and personality. An authentically empowered person lives with love. Love is the intention of the soul. Love is power. Love heals everything. A good example of love is Jesus Christ. The Bible tells us that He loved the world so much that he died on the cross to save sinners. Spirituality is not of...

Season's Greetings

"Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you: he is Christ the Lord." Luke 2:11 "And there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch by night.

Lessons from Ecclesiastes: How to Be a Happy Human Being

Please read from the Bible: Ecclesiastes Ch.2: 10-11, 24-26; Ch.3: 11-15; and Ch.5: 18-20. God has made everything beautiful in its time. He also revealed to humans the notion of eternity. Thus, it is better for mankind to know that there is nothing better for us to strive for than to be happy and to do good while living on earth. Eat, drink and do good things with whatever God has blessed you with. That’s truly a gift from God. If God gives any man wealth and prosperity, it’s important for him to enjoy them and be thankful for them. God can keep a heart with gladness and peace, in much the same way that He can give a man riches. Thus, man has to learn how God gives to his people, and then follow God’s Kingdom of Grace and also share some of his God given gifts with the poor and needy. The more you give, the more you will be blessed. One thing is very clear in my heart: there is nothing so important and valuable in this world than to live your life happy and to share your love and kind...

When You Are Down

Read Psalms Chapter 6 "The Lord has heard the voice of my weeping." Psalms 6: 8 Come ye disconsolate, wherever ye languish - come to the mercy seat, fervently kneel, here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish, earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. “Remember: when things look down, try to look up."
