YOUR WORD

Lost in the sweet serenity of Your voice alive in Your Word, I can’t get by one day not knowing what You have to say. And yearning to hear what you believe I seek deep revelation. A beautiful serenade or just mere conversation would do for that is what sustains a longing soul like mine. And often I wonder why I depend on unsound opinion when it is Your utterance that breathes life. Why do I look to dissuasion when You so Powerfully leave me in reverie with Your compassion & light. A warm embrace of divine inspiration conquers mortal affection and every deep concern of my heart I find endorsed in memoirs aroused by You..Even when futility sounds in human connection, Your word lifts my life force. Undyingly, I know Your word is radiance in this dark tunnel; an indispensable light unto my path.

JOURNEY TOWARDS THE PURPOSE

THERE IS ALWAYS MORE TO LIFE THAN THAT WHICH OUR EYES CAN SEE

THE JOURNEY IS NOT OF THE MOMENT
RATHER IT SPANS OVER MILLIONS OF MOMENTS
WE TEND TO LIMIT OUR 'PURPOSE' TO OUR UNDERSTANDING OF LIFE
WE FORGET THAT GOD, THE CREATOR OF LIFE, SEES OUR LIVES
IN THE MEASURE OF THE YEARS TO COME - NOT IN DAYS OR MONTHS!
IT IS EASY TO FORGET - INCREDIBLY EASY!
WHEN THE WAVES OF LIFE CRASH OVER US WITH SUCH TREMENDOUS FEROCITY
IT IS EASY TO LET GO OF THE 'BIGGER PICTURE'
BUT ALWAYS ASK GOD TO REMIND YOU (NOT THAT HE DOESN'T ANYWAY)
THAT THERE IS SOMETHING BIGGER THAN YOU AND ME
THAT WE ARE SO LIMITED IN OUR KNOWLEDGE OF LIFE
THAT WHAT WE SEE AND KNOW IS SIMPLY A FRACTION
OF SOMETHING THAT REALLY IS BIGGER, SO MUCH BIGGER
THAN WE CAN EVER COMPREHEND
IT IS HARD TO TRUST GOD WHEN THINGS AREN'T ROSY AND BRIGHT
IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT HE'S THERE GUARDING US, WATCHING OVER US
IT IS SO EASY TO GET SIDE-TRACKED BY WHAT WE THINK
IS OVERWHELMINGLY HUGE!
IT IS HARD TO HOLD ON TO HOPE WHEN YOU'RE SURROUNDED BY DARKNESS
BUT THE BEST PART IS THAT HE UNDERSTANDS HOW HARD IT IS
SO HE NEVER LETS GO OF YOU
THE JOURNEY THAT WE'RE ON - LET US TRY NOT TO CONFINE IT
TO THE SIMPLICITY OF OUR MINDS
LET US NOT LIMIT ITS SIGNIFICANCE ACCORDING TO
THE FOOLISHNESS OF OUR HUMAN WISDOM
LET US, RATHER, BELIEVE IN THE JOURNEY TOWARDS SOMETHING
GREATER THAN WHAT WE CAN IMAGINE
A JOURNEY TOWARDS HOPE, PEACE, JOY, STRENGTH, HEALING, LOVE
AND ABOVE ALL - GOD!
LET US ACCEPT AND HOLD ON TO THE FACT THAT OUR LIVES ARE PRICELESS
THIS LIFE OF OURS HAS A MEANING TO IT THAT IS SO DEEP
THAT THE SMALLEST REVELATION OF IT WOULD ENGULF US
IN ABSOLUTE AWE OF THE SUPERNATURAL
LET US UNDERSTAND OUR PURPOSE - WHICH, IN ONE WORD, IS GOD - AND BEGIN
THE JOURNEY TOWARDS THE PURPOSE

The realization that nothing is in my hands is overwhelming
The realization that everything is in God's hands is comforting.

A PROMISE FOR ISRAEL.

Prosperity After Turning to the LORD

.. when you.. return to the LORD your God and obey him with all your heart and with all your soul..then the LORD your God will restore and have compassion on you and gather you again from..[where] he scattered you. Even if you have been banished to the most distant land [sin] under the heavens, from there the LORD your God will gather you and bring you back.. The LORD your God will circumcise your hearts.. so that you may love him with all your heart and with all your soul, and live.  The LORD your God will put all these curses on your enemies who hate and persecute you. You will again obey the LORD and follow all his commands. Then the LORD your God will make you most prosperous in all the work of your hands .. The LORD will again delight in you and make you prosperous.. if you obey the LORD your God and keep his commands and decrees that are written in this Book of the Law and turn to the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

* dedicated to every Israel

"Dear friends, let us love one another for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love."

1 John 4:7-8, NIV

Word of encouragement - Joshua 1

All your life, no one will be able to hold out against you. In the same way I was with Moses, I'll be with you. I won't give up on you; I won't leave you. Strength! Courage! You are going to lead this people... Give it everything you have, heart and soul. Make sure you carry out The Revelation that Moses commanded you, every bit of it. Don't get off track, either left or right, so as to make sure you get to where you're going. And don't for a minute let this Book of The Revelation be out of mind. Ponder and meditate on it day and night, making sure you practice everything written in it. Then you'll get where you're going; then you'll succeed. Haven't I commanded you? Strength! Courage! Don't be timid; don't get discouraged. God, your God, is with you every step you take." - The Message

Thank You

Thank You for Your unconditional love & for each new mercy..Thank you for never giving up on me or on the world..Actually thank you for never giving up at all.. For there is none like You..A God who still delights in those who once turned away. None in the universe who bestows a 1000 second chances...Your compassion is as if you were never  wronged at all even though it is You who we blame first when all has gone wrong. 

You have only loved me and been my life.. You have only restored me & been by my side..You've always encouraged & inspired, carried me through it all.. You carry us all..telling each one of us you love us..loving us..longing to take us from strength to strength.. 

And it breaks my heart to live in the mystery of who truely loves you as you love us..We are unworthy of your love..yet we are loved beyond reason..but You who is all deserving, to YOU no justice is done.. but today as You have unfailingly said to me always ..I say to you with all my heart.. Lord.. I love you.. I believe in you..Thank you for being so strong..for doing it all.. 

Sometimes I wonder if you're alright even though You are God.. I wonder if You ever want to pull the plug on the world or if You ever feel the blues. I wonder how lonely it gets for a God who has to stand by His Word for better or for worse...I wonder how You feel when no one sees the unseen things You do..the unseen beautiful things you do..to make us smile..to fight our battles..to see us reign.. 

Often misunderstood by your own children..you long to fulfill our dreams and desires..you try so hard to take us to where our hearts want to go, but along the way we fall for traps in dreams' clothing..wondering why everything is falling apart..screaming out S.O.S to save us from our own delusions..

So thank you for being such a Champion.. a Winner..a Warrior..a Friend..a Father.. for being so brave..for being our God..for You are life itself and we are nothing without You

.....

A Christian is one who leads by honest example - not false humility or people pleasing actions. A true Christian is one who embraces themselves the way God created them to be. They are a class of people who believe in a purpose and who stand for what God says is right. They are not the ones to be swayed by the world's standards of 'cool' or the church's standards of 'holiness' but rather looks to Christ as their example. They are strong confident individuals who are unafraid to love, unafraid of condemnation because they know that they belong to the Creator of the entire Universe. They are people who stand up for those who God would, they're bold to fight against that what is not right in GOD'S eyes in the way He has asked us to. They are those who are strong, courageous, bold, unafraid and at the same time loving, compassionate, forgiving, embracing, understanding. They are the people who understand that in their weakness God alone gives them strength. They are the people who strive to follow God's heart. They are the people who dream and hold on to their God-given passions to help change the world. They are beautiful people who reach out to people with God's love. They are people who love to love. They are people who are focused on the glorification of God and His undying and ever faithful love. They are the everyday believers we see around us. They are those people who love God and rely on Him entirely and strive to be called His own. And the most beautiful part is that we can be these people and our Spirit calls us to be the light in this world. It calls us to be a source of hope and love to a world that is starving and is hungry for acceptance and affection. Let us step forward in Christ. Let us share the love that we have so undeservingly inherited; love that has made us worthy to be called His children. Remember that God IS love. I ask you all to simply reflect God. Reflect His perfect and pure justice and above all His heart. If you wanna save people and bring them to Christ, i don't think there's a better strategy than love. When Christ showed it didn't it grab your heart and your attention?

?

Do You hear me when, in my brokenness, i cry?
Do You hear me when I scream?
Do You see my heart bleed with each blood thirsty word?
Do You feel my body grow cold with each memory?
Do You see the endless tears each night?
Do You see the distorted and wretched person that I see
when I look into the mirror?
Do You see the agonizing pain underneath my facade?
Do You feel the torment i go through with each shuddering breath?
If You do, will You hold me close?
Will You wipe away my tears?
Will You quieten my fears?
Will You fill my drained heart with renewed love?
Will You heal my shattered hopes and dreams?
Will You help me live?

In You

It is in Your presence
that I find indescribable peace
It is in Your Name
that I find the strength to go on
It is in Your strength
that I find everlasting joy
It is in Your face
that I find the grace to accept
It is in Your promises
that I find the hope for a better tomorrow
It is in Your arms
that I find perfect love

- verse -

If we die with Him
We will also live with Him
If we endure
We will also reign with Him
If we disown Him
He will also disown us
If we are faithless
He will remain faithful
For He cannot disown Himself

- 2 Timothy 2 : 11 - 13

LIGHT OF HIS LOVE

People hurt us and then we suddenly loose our passion for God. We loose sight of Him because we taught we once saw Him in those very people. But it is at these times that we can prove our faithfulness to God. Through these moments of testing do we see our true selves and realize whether we ever put our trust in God or in man. And if only we could press forward to show him how much we care, we’d prove that our love for him was always true.. True because we are still in the race, running for Him, in the light of His love..
