QUOTES ON TOP

“I want something really worthwhile to live for. I want to invest this one life of mine as wisely as possible, in the place that yields the richest profits to the world and me…wherever it is, I want it to be God’s choice for me and not my own… Christ said, “He that would find his life shall lose it” and proved the truth of this divine paradox at Calvary. I want Him to lead me and His Holy Spirit to fill me.” – Betty Stam

WILL YOU BE REALLY SUCCESSFUL?


Dear Friend,
                Everyone’s life moves with an aspiration to gain something. In your life too, yesterday you had an ambition. Today you are working or moving towards your goal and tomorrow you may achieve your goal. Is it really the end of your life? Does achieving your goal make you a successful person? Once achieving your dream, you may feel like you have lost nothing. Is that really meant that you have not lost anything? Let’s discuss that.
                As you began growing in your life, you always had a desire to achieve something. Later that desire became your aim. As a part of your aim, today you may feel happy that you got admission in a job assuring course in a reputed institution. To you studies and entertainment became a part of your life. You watch movies, play games, chat with your friends and study at the last. Somehow you will get your degree. Then you will think that you achieved your longing. Will it be an end of your desire? No, not at all.
                Once you finish your studies, you will get a desire to be placed in a MNC. When you achieve that too, you won’t be satisfied. You then look for a girl whose appearance was like an angel and you start loving her and one day you will marry her. Does it going to be the end? No.
                Then you long for children and after that you work too hard for promotion after promotions. One day you will find yourself as one of the elite personality in the society. Wow! This is what you worked and longed for. You enjoyed life with movies, friends, other gender people, family and colleagues. Finally you succeeded in getting your desire. Your society calls you as a great successful person.
                You feel like you never missed anything in your life. You feel like you have not lost anything in your life. Even today as a young person you feel the same. Really have you not missed anything? Really have you not lost anything? No, my dear friend.
                At the end of your enjoyment and achievement you will find that you lost yourself and you missed God. You may accept this or not, but this is the truth. Without God, you will never be successful.
God, the almighty says like this:
“ For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” Matthew 16:26
“For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself.......” Luke 9:25
                My dear friend, even if you gain the whole world and its pleasures but lose your soul, you will be called as a loser by God, the one who created you. Because you think that God does not exist, will really never put an end to the reality of the existence of God? God exist, my dear friend. He is real. You need God more than He needs you.
                The only way to gain your soul is to receive God in your life. Only when you gain yourself in God, you will get eternal life. Only when you get the eternal life, you will be a successful person.
                What you achieve in this world, counts nothing compared to what you are going to get after you die. If you don’t have God with you when you live, then you will miss eternal life when you die and you will lose you.
                The only way to gain yourself and to have God with you always is to believe in Jesus Christ and get saved through Him. Jesus Christ is the son of God who died for the redemption of sinners and resurrected after three days. This is the greatest truth in the universe. Jesus Christ has become sin for you in the cross. He died for your sins so that you will be saved from the punishment of your sin.
Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:21
“For He has made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made righteousness of God in Him.”
Why Jesus Christ become sin for you in the cross? Lets imagine that you have a precious friend whom you love lots and lots. Unfortunately your friend commits a murder. As his crime was about to be proved, you has a great desire to save him. You will face only two options. One you have to run to the judge and tell him that you want to die for your friend instead of him. Even if you do this, no one is going to accept. So the final option to save your friend is you have to become a criminal instead of him accepting that you only did the crime.
                This is what Jesus Christ has done in the cross. To save you from judgement and punishment, He became sin on the cross for you. He shed His blood and gave His life only for you. He was resurrected and even today He is alive.
                My dear friend, if you want to gain yourself, you have to come to Jesus Christ. He alone can give you eternal life. He is ready to forgive your sins and accept you as you are. He will never cast away anyone who comes to Him. He will surely accept you as His own child as He has done to me. Jesus loves you lot. Will you come to Jesus today and accept Him as your personal saviour?

“Don’t love yourself and Don’t miss God”. God wants to see you in Heaven. Me too.
