YOU ARE WORTHY(TAKEN FROM INTERNET)

A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?" Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you, but first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumple the dollar bill in his hand. He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air. "Well, what if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?" Still, the hands went up.

"My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But, no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value in God's eyes. To Him, dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless.

Thought: The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we are, but in WHOSE we are. Remember one thing: JESUS IS YOUR FATHER AND YOU ARE HIS CHILD. THAT ALONE MAKES YOU WORTHY AND NOT ANYTHING ELSE.

DO YOU CARRY YOUR UMBRELLA? (TAKEN FROM INTERNET)

As a drought continued for what seemed an eternity, a small community of farmers was in a quandary as to what to do. Rain was important to keep their crops healthy and sustain the town people’s way of life. 

As the problem became more acute, a local pastor called a prayer meeting to ask for rain. Many people arrived. The pastor greeted most of them as they filed in. As he walked to the front of the church to officially begin the meeting he noticed most people were chatting across the aisles and socializing with friends. When he reached the front his thoughts were on quieting the attendees and starting the meeting. 

His eyes scanned the crowd as he asked for quiet. He noticed an eleven year-old girl sitting quietly in the front row. Her face was beaming with excitement. Next to her, poised and ready for use, was a bright red umbrella. The little girl's beauty and innocence made the pastor smile as he realized how much faith she possessed. No one else in the congregation had brought an umbrella. 

All came to pray for rain, but the little girl had come expecting God to answer. We all have something to learn from this young girl.

FAITH IS ALL IT TAKES

There was a woman who had suffered terribly from severe bleeding for twelve years, even though she had been treated by many doctors. She had spent all her money, but instead of getting better she got worse all the time. On those days of desperation and agony, she had heard about Jesus.

One day as Jesus came to preach in her town, she came in the crowd behind Him, saying to herself, “If I just touch His clothes, I will get well.”

She touched the cloak and her bleeding stopped at once. (Mark 5:25-29)

She just laid her hands on the hem of Jesus’ cloak, but she was healed. Her little faith in Jesus was very strong. She ran through the crowd that was keeping her away from Jesus. She might have had a difficult time reaching there; she might have fallen and hurt herself even more. But in her heart, she believed that if she could just reach Jesus, if she could just be a hand reach away from Him, if she could just touch the cloak of Jesus, she would be healed.

Yes sometimes we don’t realize that maybe just a little or an inch of faith is all it takes. There are many among us who have been suffering from long term illnesses. Some with cancer, some with heart diseases, some with diseases which never stop, like those whose eyes keep tearing, some who have dry coughs, some who has knee pains almost every day, some who can’t stand for long.

 Have you consulted with the doctor who gives life; the doctor who died for you; the doctor who still waits for you to come to Him and to call to Him?  

Jesus is not only waiting for the physically sick but also for all those who are spiritually down.Those who can’t give his or her full trust in the Lord, those who think that God doesn’t really have a part in their life, many others who just walked away because they had many negative incidents in their life. Sometimes we feel if there was a God, He wouldn’t have let this happened. But everything that happens in your life is a plan of God; A plan to bring you more nearer to Him. 

My dear friend, you may be physically or spiritually sick today. You might have lost all the hopes on people and on yourself. Turn to Him, for He is waiting with his hands stretched out for you.

All Jesus wants us to have is a little faith in Him, and trust Him.  If that woman believed that Jesus was all it takes for her to get healed, why not you, why not every one of us??

Turn to God; for He is your salvation, He knows what you’re going through. He is always ready and willing to heal you, call to Him.

Just a little faith is all it takes.                                                                                 

LONGING TO HAVE YOU BACK IN MY ARMS-LETTER FROM JESUS

My Dear Child,

            You had not come into this world by accident. I had created you in your mother’s womb with a great purpose for you. You were fearfully and wonderfully made. I had covered you in your mother’s womb. I clothed you with skin and flesh and had fenced you with bones. In my book all your days were written, which in continuance were fashioned when as yet there were none of them. I carefully placed you inside my hands. It is my hand which brought you into this world out of your mother’s womb.

          From then on, I carried you at all times. I always looked at you with so much affection and loved you all through the years. You were safe in my arms. When there was a path of thorns, I lifted you onto my shoulders. It is I who walked on the path of thorns, not you. Even when I was hurt, I was happy that, you my child were safe.

            I loved to hear from you, your needs, desires and your feelings even though I know all about those before you speak them out. I provided you with all the good things from my storehouse in heaven. I loved you so much. Yet if you still feel and say that you need more love, I am ready to give myself once again on the cross for you. That is my love for you.

        But yet, desiring the worldly love, you left me alone. My heart was broken. With tears overflowing and longing to have you back, I stretched my arms and called you to return. My child, but you rejected my love again. Today at this moment, I am crying badly hurt not because you rejected me, but you have lost your peace and joy you had before. You are moving towards a dangerous path, lost in your desires without realizing that you are going to perish.

More than 2000 years before I came into this world and bore the pain of crucification, died and rose again for the condemned souls. Surely there can’t be any greater love than giving the life for someone. I shed every drop of my blood, tread the path of affliction and gave my life entirely only for you, my dear child. That’s my love for you. I love you really so much. Words can never describe my love I have on you.

            That is the reason why I decided to lay my life for you to save you. Don’t feel guilty because you moved away from me. My love for you has not reduced and it never ever will. Come back to my arms, my child. Even now if you still want me to prove my love for you, I am ready to come and die for you again. I can’t bear seeing you suffer without me. Return to me now, my dear child before it gets too late. I love you so much. I am waiting for you with wide open arms. I am not far away from you. I am just a word of prayer away. Longing to have you back in my arms and to hear from you.

With love words can’t express,

Your Ever Loving Dad,

JESUS CHRIST.

REMEMBER JESUS AS YOU CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS

This morning I read a story on the web of a woman who was out Christmas hopping with her two children. After many hours of looking at row after row of toys and everything else imaginable. And after hours of hearing both her children asking for everything they saw on those many shelves, she finally made it to the elevator with her two kids.

She was feeling what so many of us feel during the holiday season time of the year. Overwhelming pressure to go to every party, every housewarming, taste all the holiday food and treats, getting that perfect gift for every single person on our shopping list, making sure we don't forget anyone on our card list, and the pressure of making sure we respond to everyone who sent us a card. 

Finally the elevator doors opened and there was already a crowd in the car. She pushed her way into the car and dragged her two kids in with her and all the bags of stuff. When the doors closed she couldn't take it anymore and stated, "Whoever started this whole Christmas thing should be found, strung up and shot." 

From the back of the car everyone heard a quiet calm voice respond, "Don't worry we already crucified Him." For the rest of the trip down the elevator it was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop. 

Don't forget this year to keep the One who started this whole Christmas thing in your every thought, deed, purchase, and word. If we all did it, just think of how different this whole world would be.

ONLY GOD KNOW HOW MUCH A PRAYER WEIGHS(INSPIRATIONAL FICTION TAKEN FROM INTERNET)

Louise Redden, a poorly dressed lady with a look of defeat on her face, walked into a grocery store. She approached the owner of the store in a most humble manner and asked if he would let her charge a few groceries. She softly explained that her husband was very ill and unable to work, they had seven children and they needed food. John Longhouse, the grocer, scoffed at her and requested that she leave his store.

Visualizing the family needs, she said: 'Please, sir! I will bring you the money just as soon as I can."

John told her he could not give her credit, as she did not have a charge account at his store.

Standing beside the counter was a customer who overheard the conversation between the two. The customer walked forward and told the grocerman that he would stand good for whatever she needed for her family.

The grocerman said in a very reluctant voice, "Do you have a grocery list?

Louise replied "Yes sir"

"O.K." he said, put your grocery list on the scales and whatever your grocery list weighs, I will give you that amount in groceries."

Louise, hesitated a moment with a bowed head, then she reached into her purse and took out a piece of paper and scribbled something on it. She then laid the piece of paper on the scale carefully with her head still bowed. The eyes of the grocerman and the customer showed amazement when the scales went down and stayed down.

The grocerman staring at the scales, turned slowly to the customer and said begrudgingly, "I can't believe it." The customer smiled and the grocerman started putting the groceries on the other side of the scales. The scale did not balance so he continued to put more and more groceries on them until the scales would hold no more. The grocerman stood there in utter disgust.

Finally, he grabbed the piece of paper from the scales and looked at it with greater amazement. It was not a grocery list; it was a prayer which said: "Dear Lord, you know my needs and I am leaving this in your hands."

The grocerman gave her the groceries that he had gathered and placed on the scales and stood in stunned silence. Louise thanked him and left the store. The customer handed a fifty-dollar bill to John as he said, "It was worth every penny of it."

It was sometime later that John Longhouse discovered the scales were broken; therefore, only God knows how much a prayer weighs.

YOU WILL BE A BLESSING

Being a young girl, she always dreamt about a beautiful family life. Time passed, this young girl grew up to become a fine lady. Her parents decided to give her hand in marriage. Proposals came and finally she got married. Her dream and thoughts about marriage were no longer just castles in the air.  Yes, she would live and find out!!

But life didn’t take a very favorable path in her marriage. Her marriage failed. She got married once again. This time too destiny took a wrong turn. She got married again and again. After her five marriages she no longer had faith in marriage. She just didn’t believe in the concept of a husband or in marriage anymore.

One day, as she was on her way to the well to fill a jar of water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink of water.” The woman answered, “You are a Jew, and I am a Samaritan- so how can you ask me for a drink?” 

Jesus answered, “If only you knew what God gives and who it is that is asking you for a drink, you would ask him, and he would give you life giving water.”

“Sir,” the woman said, “you haven’t got a bucket, and the well is deep. Where would you get that life giving water? It was our ancestor Jacob who gave us this well; he and his sons and his flocks all drank from it. You don’t claim to be greater than Jacob, do you?”

Jesus answered, “Whoever drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring which will provide him with life-giving water and give him eternal life.”

“Sir,” the woman said, “Give me that water! Then I will never be thirsty again, nor will I have to come here to draw water.”

“Go and call your husband,” Jesus told her, “and come back.”

“I haven’t got a husband,” she answered.  Jesus replied, “You are right when you say you haven’t got a husband. You have been married to five men, and the man you live with now is not really your husband. You have told me the truth.” (John 4)

Later in the chapter if we read, we can understand that Jesus revealed Himself to her and made her a blessing for an entire town.

Even though the lady was leading an immoral life, what made Jesus to reveal Himself to her and make her a blessing to many?

Later in the bible we see the woman saying, “I know that the Messiah will come and when he comes, he will tell us everything.” This little hope that she carried in her heart all through the years of her life saved her. Even though she leads a immoral life, she had a hope that one day Messiah will come. When He comes she hoped that He will teach her about everything and will save her. Jesus saw the hope in her heart and revealed Himself to her, had forgiven all her sins and saved her. Not only that, Jesus turned her as a blessing to many people of that particular town. 

Sometime life takes an arduous path.  When life gets so tough, the little spark of hope, that God will save or I know He will come one day, or He will save me from this someday is all that you need.  Jesus is watching over you every step of the day. He knew your hearts desire and hope. Bible says in Proverbs 23:18(Amplified Version) “For surely there is a latter end [a future and a reward], and your hope and expectation shall not be cut off”

My dear young friend, today you may be going through a tough path in your life. You may have little hope in your heart that Jesus will enter into your life and save you. Do not worry, my dear friend. Surely your hope will not be cut off. You may live a sinful life right now. But don’t get dejected. Jesus will save you from the clutches of sin and make you a blessing for His glory. Keep trusting in Jesus and you will be saved.

HAVE YOU HAD HONEYMOON WITH GOD?

I know a guy who was asked by God to come and stay alone in His presence for some days. With so much expectation in his heart, the young guy went to God’s presence in 21 days of fasting and prayer. As he was wondering why God inspired him to go for this much of days of staying alone and fasting, Holy Spirit to him very clearly saying:”My dear son, this days are given to you to have a closer relationship with God by knowing Him very intimately. These days to you are a honeymoon with God.” Hearing this, the guy felt so happy that he had a chance to have honeymoon with God.

My dear young friends, as we know, honeymoon is a precious period between a groom and his bride to know each other and to get closer.In Ephesians5:22-33 as Paul talks about husbands and wives, he co-relate Jesus Christ and the Church. If we read I Corinthians 3:17 we can understand that we are God’s temple. That means we are the bride and Jesus Christ is the groom. Being the bride of Jesus, have you ever had honeymoon with Him?

If not my dear young friends, stay alone in His presence, get to know His heart and get closer to Him so that you shall be a blessing for many and you will shine for His glory. As you walk in the Christian faith, do what God expects you to do. To know God’s expectations, go and stay closer to Him. Have a honeymoon with God and know God more. May God bless you richly through His abundant Grace.

BOOK REVIEW-4 WHERE HAVE YOU GONE GOD-JENNIFER REES LARCOMBE (By Ms. Dolly)

Every Christian goes through a period at some time in their life when their relationship with God becomes dull or painful. For some, it happens at times of great success; others find that difficulties with health, relationships or career cause them to feel that God has abandoned them. Many cannot find an appropriate reason for their state.

 “When we believe God answers prayer miraculously, it makes tragedies of life harder to accept,” says Jennifer, who describes her own experience of chronic illness in her bestselling book, Beyond Healing. Before writing, ‘Where Have You Gone, God?’ She contacted over a thousand people who, at some time in their Christian lives, felt far from God. Their experience, and the wisdom of Christians down the ages, combines to make a book of comfort and hope. ‘There are no easy answers. Spiritual deserts are terrible, but they pass and through them, our love for God is so often strengthened enormously’.

Sometimes we feel so hard to continue on, when we feel so distant from God, we doubt, we question, but do we do the same thing when the sun doesn’t shine??? As you read the book, you will understand that God does everything for a purpose and by every step He draws you more closer to Him. You will agree with Naomi as she says,

I believe in the sun, even when it’s not shining

I believe in love even when I cannot feel it

I believe in God even when He is silent.

BOOK REVIEW-3 WEAK PEOPLE MIGHTY GOD-Terry Virgo (By Ms. Dolly)

Everyone has their own limitations, no one is perfect, but to some this is so much they can take. People around always overlook, or you yourself say that you are not clever or bright and virtually have no qualifications. But there is god news: In this book, “Weak People Mighty God” Terry Virgo tells that God is not interested in people who are talented or strong, but God looks for people who are weak and uses them by His power. If you feel like you’re a fool, take heart, for the Lord says,

 “God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty;”

                                                                                                                        I Corinthians 1:27

Terry Virgo leads a ministry called New Frontiers International, a ministry dedicated to building up the lives of Christian men and woman in many lands. In this book he chooses three people from the bible and shows how God can use us in our weakness. David, Elijah and Jonah were three ordinary people. They did not set out to be heroes of the faith. Nor were they always ready to let God move in their lives. But He did, and as a result they were transformed.

If you are conscious of your own limitations, your fallibility, you have a choice. You can give up and resign yourself to a lifetime of ineffectiveness- or you can learn from people like David, Elijah and Jonah, who discovered that it is the weak in whom God chooses to display his strength and reveal his glory.

This book is an invitation to respond to the grace of a God who will never fail you or forsake you.

WILL YOU INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD?

Seek God's counsel in everything you do so that you can inherit the eternal life given by God

TRY JESUS FOR HE LOVES YOU

God's Love is far more greater than the love of any human. Try Jesus and You will be Blessed

WORDS OF YOUR MOUTH (TAKEN FROM INTERNET)

I saw him in the church building for the first time on Wednesday. He was in his mid-70's, with thinning silver hair and a neat brown suit. Many times in the past I had invited him to come. Several other Christian friends had talked to him about the Lord and had tried to share the good news with him.

He was a well-respected, honest man with so many characteristics a Christian should have, but he had never put on Christ, nor entered the doors of the church. "Have you ever been to a church service in your life?" I had asked him a few years ago. We had just finished a pleasant day of visiting and talking.

He hesitated. Then with a bitter smile he told me of his childhood experience some fifty years ago. He was one of many children in a large impoverished family. His parents had struggled to provide food, with little left for housing and clothing. When he was about ten, some neighbors invited him to worship with them. The Sunday school class had been very exciting! He had never heard such songs and stories before! He had never heard anyone read from the Bible! 

After class was over, the teacher took him aside and said, "Son, please don't come again dressed as you are now. We want to look our best when we come into God's house."

He stood in his ragged, unpatched overalls. Then looking at his dirty bare feet, he answered softly, "No, ma'am, I won't ever." "And I never did," he said, abruptly ending our conversation. 

There must have been other factors to have hardened him so, but this experience formed a significant part of the bitterness in his heart. I'm sure that Sunday school teacher meant well. But did she really understand the love of Christ? Had she studied and accepted the teachings found in the second chapter of James?

What if she had put her arms around the dirty, ragged little boy and said, "Son, I am so glad you are here, and I hope you will come every chance you get to hear more about Jesus."

I reflected on the awesome responsibility a teacher or pastor or a parent has to welcome little ones in His name. How far reaching her influence was! I prayed that I might be ever open to the tenderness of a child's heart, and that I might never fail to see beyond the appearance and behavior of a child to the eternal possibilities within. 

Yes, I saw him in the church house for the first time on Wednesday. As I looked at that immaculately dressed old gentleman lying in his casket, I thought of the little boy of long ago. I could almost hear him say, "No, ma'am, I won't ever." And I wept.

DON'T CRY, MY CHILD

Once in a small town of Nain, there lived a beautiful young girl who had been engaged to a handsome guy. The girl started to live everyday with dreams in her eyes about her future, wanting to explore the true meaning of love, care, and affection, waiting eagerly to spend about the rest of her life with her love, counting the number of days for her marriage. At last the most awaiting day came, which she will never forget in her life. She got married to the guy whom she started to love so much. Her marriage life was great. Everything she wished and desired for has been satisfied by her husband. Nothing she lacked. She lived a very peaceful, joyful life with him, which everyone would envy to have. Such a blessed life she had. Her dreams and hopes became very true and real when she held her boy baby in her hands. Her life was more than she dreamt and asked for. She thought that there will be no more tears and sufferings. That her life will be very smooth, pleasant and will go in the way she desired. She thought that there will be no need for her to worry about anything and her future is firm and secured.

            But from nowhere came the shock of her life. Her husband passed away all of a sudden, leaving her and their only child all alone to suffer. She felt like all her dreams have been shattered. She didn’t find any reason for her survival. The days which were once sweet to her became bitter and sorrowful. The death of her beloved, took all her joy, happiness and cheer along with it just leaving her with emptiness, loneliness and hopelessness, sucking the entire life out of her. When she was about to end her life thinking that there is no meaning for her to still go on, she heard the cry of her child. That broke her heart and the moment she saw her child’s face, she was reminded of her good old days she spent with her husband. So she decided to live for her only child and started to relive her memories, patiently watching and enjoying the different stages of life her child goes through. Her heart leapt with joy and pride on seeing her kid standing in front of her as a young fine gentleman.

            All of a sudden when everything was going well and fine, she got the greatest blow in her life which left her paralysed. Her only son for whom she has held her breadth thus far has died. Nobody was able to comfort her because greater was her grief. She couldn’t understand why all this has to happen to her. She was crying her life out when the crowd from the town carried the dead body of her son. Till now she was just living for the sake of her son. Through her tears, she saw his happiness. But the very hope for her living has been shattered in front of her eyes. She thought that there is no use for her to press on, to hope that things will reverse and her life will become alright once again like it used to be. She was broken hearted and thought that her life has come to an end. It is then something happened which changed the entire meaning of her life. It is at this time, Jesus of Nazareth met her. That made the difference in her monotonous, painful life. When Jesus saw her, He was moved with compassion and His heart went out for her. He said “Don’t cry”. He touched the coffin and brought the young man back to life and gave him to his mother.

            When Jesus says “Don’t cry”, He is not simply saying in order to comfort us like others do but rather He walks right into the situation which makes us to cry, which pains our heart and will change it upside down just for us to be happy. People may just give empty promises telling “don’t cry, I am with you” but God alone experiences what we go through by walking along with us. The world can only feel pity on our situations but it is God who will change the entire scenario which is troubling us, in favor for us. Similarly my friend you may be going through a hopeless situation thinking that there is no reason for you to press on in life. Do not lose heart. There is a God for you. He is Jesus Christ. He will interfere with your hopeless situations. He will walk right into the situation and will turn your sorrow into gladness. You will surely live.

NOT HOME YET (TAKEN FROM INTERNET)

An old missionary couple had been working in Africa for years and was returning to New York to retire. They had no pension; their health was broken; they were defeated, discouraged, and afraid. They discovered they were booked on the same ship as President Teddy Roosevelt, who was returning from one of his big-game hunting expeditions. No one paid any attention to them. They watched the fanfare that accompanied the President's entourage, with passengers trying to catch a glimpse of the great man. As the ship moved across the ocean, the old missionary said to his wife, "Something is wrong.Why should we have given our lives in faithful service for God in Africa all these many years and have no one care a thing about us? Here this man comes back from a hunting trip and everybody makes much over him, but nobody gives two hoots about us." 

"Dear, you shouldn't feel that way," his wife said. "I can't help it; it doesn't seem right." When the ship docked in New York, a band was waiting to greet the President. The mayor and other dignitaries were there. The papers were full of the President's arrival. No one noticed this missionary couple. They slipped off the ship and found a cheap flat on the East Side, hoping the next day to see what they could do to make a living in the city. That night the man's spirit broke. He said to his wife, "I can't take this; God is not treating us fairly." 

His wife replied, "Why don't you go in the bedroom and tell that to the Lord?"A short time later he came out from the bedroom, but now his face was completely different. His wife asked, "Dear, what happened?""The Lord settled it with me," he said. "I told him how bitter I was that the President should receive this tremendous homecoming, when no one met us as we returned home. And when I finished, it seemed as though the Lord put his hand on my shoulder and simply said, 'But you're not home yet!"

GOD WILL HEAR YOUR CRY

This time I would like to share with you my precious readers a true story that took place awhile ago. Once there lived a pious' person named Ethan who had a very good status in his community. He was claimed to be a God fearing person by everyone who knew him. He actively participated in all the spiritual activities of his church. One day Ethan heard the news that one of the most powerful evangelists is visiting the plains nearby his place. Ethan somehow wanted to bring him to his place and make him pray for his people and get his blessings. So, Ethan put tremendous efforts in bringing the speaker to his place. When the evangelist came to the village Ethan made him stay in his newly bought house. Though the house was newly bought it had horrible cracks on the walls making it seem worthless and quite dangerous to live in, because of the fear of walls falling apart. So he requested the evangelist to pray for that house that's ruined badly without any cause. That night the evangelist prayed for that house and GOD revealed him the reason behind the mishap; and this is the story behind the house:“The house was originally owned by a Christian family consisting of a man, his wife and their little baby. In an unfortunate road accident the lady lost her husband. The man had borrowed some money from Ethan for which he was paying him back the interest. Now after the demise of the husband, the lady was abandoned and didn't have any resources to payback to Ethan. So, Ethan suggested the lady to hand him over the house and that he'd pay her some money after settling their debt. The fact was that Ethan had an eye on that very house since it was newly built, spacious and a gorgeous one too.

The lady cried to Ethan that it was their only shelter and they would have no other place to rest their heads if he had taken their house. She pleaded him to have mercy on them since they were in a hopeless situation and had no one to help. But Ethan had no mercy on them. He took the house and gave them back a very little amount of money in return, which was an injustice against the poor helpless lady and her baby.

When this afflicted lady was dragged to the streets, she looked back at the house, with  tears rolling down her eyes and holding her baby in one hand she cried to Lord saying ' Isn't there anyone to do justice? Not even a single soul would stand for my cause? Lord will you not hear me!'. The voice of that helpless widow reached the realms of heaven and Lord's wrath poured on that house." Lord then told the evangelist to tell Ethan that he has to pay back that widow ten fold and to treat her justly.

So, are you in a hopeless situation as that of the poor widow? Do you think your cry for help is unheard? Are you thinking that your thoughts are unvoiced? And that God is stone-hearted and He is not listening to your prayers??? Are you weary searching for explanations to all mishaps in your life?
Let me tell you wonderful people, that God is so concerned about you. He loves you so much that He is very much sensitive to your voice. He hears each and every word from your mouth; even the unspoken thoughts He knows. The scripture tells us that 'Those who hope in the lord will renew their strength like eagles'. The lord tells us today in Jeremiah 29:12-13 "When you call upon me and pray to me, I will hear you. And when you seek me with all your heart, you will find me."

JUST CALL UPON GOD'S NAME (TAKEN FROM INTERNET)

The boy walked along the ocean shore . . . trying not to stray.
He looked up to his father saying, "Dad, I want to play."

His father looked upon him, with love showing in his eyes.
"Do what you want to, my son . . . but do not leave my side."

"I would never leave you Daddy, I love you way too much."
But the boy took a step away, out of his father's range of touch.

He walked through the surf, the waves tickling one toe.
"If I take one more step in . . ." he thought, "Father will never know."

His father called out to him, "Son, to me remain true!"
The boy thought with glee . . . "At the moment I don't need you!"

His father felt a sadness, but he held his tongue.
Sometimes lessons need to be learned . . . even when so young.

The boy stepped out a little further . . . the water covering his waist.
His father spoke with urgency . . . his father spoke with haste.

"My son, come back to me," he said, "The day is almost done!"
"Not yet, Dad," the boy yelled, "I'm having too much fun!"

But the boy did not have his father's insight so he could not yet tell,
The tide was coming in fast . . . there would be no time to yell.

"Father!" he tried to scream, as the water covered his head.
"I need you now, Daddy!" was what the boy had said.

And in a single instant his father was by his side.
"I thought you left me, Daddy . . . I thought you went to hide."

The father looked upon his son . . . a tear streaming down his cheek.
The boy looked upon his father . . . and cried the sobs of the meek.

"I would never leave you son . . . for I love you just the same."
"I was only waiting . . . for you to call upon my name."

TRUST IN GOD ALONE

I wish to share with you one of my personal experiences, a small incident perhaps it possessed greater dimensions to ponder. I am the last son of my family, I have an elder brother who is working in a firm and my eldest brother is well settled in his career, got married and he has a smart little kid named Sam. I used to play with Sam during my free time; I somehow picked up a trait of pulling Sam’s toys playfully and thereby leaving him very much annoyed. He’d try ceaselessly, to reach my hands and regain his playthings, but eventually he’d grow tired and give up. It is so obvious that he can’t reach up to my height or fight back to regain his stuff from me, because I am bigger than him, taller than him and in every way am far ahead.

During the middle of August I had to leave town on duty. During my absence Sam came out with a smart idea, he started moving closer with my elder brother who had better frame than me. So, as time passed by Sam became very close to my elder brother and my brother loved him back. After I returned from my training camp, I started to play with Sam as usual... but this time when I pulled out things from his hands, his help came from my elder brother who was strong enough to regain the things from my hands and give it to Sam. From there on Sam wasn’t annoyed by me anymore, he totally sought for help from my brother and was happy in being able to conquer everything he desired through my brother. No more was Sam relying on his own strength; rather he loved my brother, trusted him and so my elder brother took care of all the things for Sam.

Like the elder brother from the incident above, God wants to help everyone. It only happens when we forget who we are, what we are capable of, and trust the LORD with all our heart. When we no longer think of ourselves but take GOD as our only refuge, GOD will surely accomplish all things for us. He will lift us up and perform miracles, when we humble ourselves and exercise the fullest faith on His Name. His word tells us in Isaiah 49:23 “I am the LORD; those who hope in me will not be disappointed.” Also Bible tells us in Jeremiah 17:5-7 “Thus says the LORD: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart departs from the LORD. For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, And shall not see when good comes, But shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, In a salt land which is not inhabited. Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, and whose hope is the LORD. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought,Nor will cease from yielding fruit.”

So, let us all trust in our Almighty GOD and glorify his name through our lives on Earth. Do not put your trust in your self nor on any human for they will surely fail you. Put your trust in Jesus for He never fails you. Whatever situation you may go through, He will carry you in His hands.

GOD IS MINDFUL ON YOU

One year back in the month of March, one evening, around 6pm, my mom calls and informs me that she has breast cancer. Being at my work place, I was totally broken down at the news because I couldn’t be with her.

In the following days, the doctors decided to do the surgery in order to remove the cancer infected breast. I and my father and brothers were also present on the day of the surgery.  My mom was lying down in the surgery gown, smiling at all of us, speaking to us normally as if nothing has happened.

The time came, around 10am, they took her into surgery. My father was so tensed throughout the whole time; he was pacing in front of the Operation room. Me and my brothers sat down and were praying every moment of the time. Waiting with anxiety, not knowing whether my mom will be fine or not. With all the fear in heart, we waited. 

Four hours passed and the surgery had still not finished. After two hours or so they bring in my mom back to the ward. I looked at her frail face; she had gone in with a smile, now she looked all fragile and feeble. She was lying there with a tube inserted into her right chest connected to little white box, and blood was dripping continuously into the box. The nurse told us that she was given an anesthetic, and that she would gain her consciousness only after some time.

My Dad and my brothers decided to go out to get something to eat. I stayed back in the hospital room with my mother. I sat down looking at the blood dripping into the box, and praying that she would be just fine. After sometime my mom barely opened her eyes, and she managed to call me near her. I went close to her with so much of fear thinking what she would ask. She looked at me and asked,”Son, did you eat anything?” and she went back to unconscious state.  Later after sometime, she again woke up, and asked us, “My dear children, did you eat anything?”

Laying there in the hospital bed, with her blood constantly dripping from the tube, she was so concerned about her children well-being than her own well-being. 

Lord has promised in Isaiah 49:15, “Can a woman forget her nursing child, and not have compassion on the son of her womb?  Surely they may forget, yet I will not forget you.”  

If my mother lying down in such a state thought about her children well being, than her own pain, whenever she gained her conscious, you can imagine how much the Lord loves you. Jesus Christ demonstrated His love upon you on the cross. Even though He had gone through so much pain and agony, He thought about your own well being. Even today He thinks of you only. Because He loves you so much. Sometimes even if our dear ones love fails, His love will always be there.

“My dear child, I love you so much and I will not forget you”, says the Lord.

THE BIRD CAGE-AUTHOR UNKNOWN

There once was a man named George Thomas, a pastor in a small New England town. One Easter Sunday morning he came to the Church carrying a rusty, bent, old bird cage, and set it by the pulpit. Several eyebrows were raised and, as if in response, Pastor Thomas began to speak.

"I was walking through town yesterday when I saw a young boy coming toward me, swinging this bird cage. On the bottom of the cage were three little wild birds, shivering with cold and fright. I stopped the lad and asked, "What you got there son?"

"Just some old birds," came the reply.

"What are you gonna do with them?" I asked.

"Take 'em home and have fun with 'em. I'm gonna tease 'em and pull out their feathers to make 'em fight. I'm gonna have a real good time."

"But you'll get tired of those birds sooner or later. What will you do then?"

"Oh, I got some cats. They like birds. I'll take 'em to them."

The pastor was silent for a moment. "How much do you want for those birds, son?"

"Huh??!!! Why, you don't want them birds, mister. They're just plain old field birds. They don't sing - they ain't even pretty!"

"How much?"

The boy sized up the pastor as if he were crazy and said, "$10?".

The pastor reached in his pocket and took out a ten dollar bill. He placed it in the boy's hand. In a flash, the boy was gone.

The pastor picked up the cage and gently carried it to the end of the alley where there was a tree and a grassy spot. Setting the cage down, he opened the door, and by softly tapping the bars persuaded the birds out, setting them free.

Well, that explained the empty bird cage on the pulpit, and then the pastor began to tell this story.

One day Satan and Jesus were having a conversation. Satan had just come from the Garden of Eden, and he was gloating and boasting.

"Yes, sir, I just caught the world full of people down there. Set me a trap, used bait I knew they couldn't resist. Got 'em all!"

"What are you going to do with them?" Jesus asked.

"Oh, I'm gonna have fun! I'm gonna teach them how to marry and divorce each other. How to hate and abuse each other. How to drink and smoke and curse. How to invent guns and bombs and kill each other. I'm really gonna have fun!"

"And what will you do when you get done with them?", Jesus asked.

"Oh, I'll kill 'em."

"How much do you want for them?"

"Oh, you don't want those people. They ain't no good. Why, you take them and they'll just hate you. They'll spit on you, curse you and kill you!! You don't want those people!!"

"How much?"

Satan looked at Jesus and sneered, "All your tears, and all your blood." Jesus paid the price.

The pastor picked up the cage he opened the door and he walked from the pulpit.

SURELY I WILL COME BACK, MY CHILD

Once there was a father, who loved sailing. He lived with his son, Jeremy in a small cottage close to the sea. One day he decides to go sailing and he asks his son, “Son, would you like to accompany me this time?” Jeremy was so excited that his father was taking him sailing and he agreed to go with him.

The next day they set out to sail across the sea. Jeremy had always wanted to go with his father sailing, and he was enjoying every moment of his time with his father. Suddenly, a storm hits, and his father loses control of the boat. Jeremy started helping his father to keep the boat upright, but all in vain. The boat was filled with water and it started to sink, the storm was too strong, the boat got destroyed. Jeremy and his father got hold of a wood piece each and they began floating in the sea. The father looked up to see the nearest coast which was a little far off. He turned to Jeremy and said, “Son, hold on tight, I will swim to the nearest coast and get help. Till then, please do not leave the piece of wood. Surely I will not leave you alone and I will come back to you.” The father swam a little away from his son, to the coast, he turned back and shouted,“Son, Surely I will come back to you.” Jeremy looked at his father and waved his hands. The father a little more to the coast and again he turned and shouted, “Son!! Do not be scared I will surely come back to you”

The father finally reached the coast and informed the coastguards about what happened. They said that the sun is down now, and that they would start the search early in the morning.

Early, next day, the coastguards and the father set sail to find Jeremy.

And there was Jeremy still holding on to the piece of wood. The coast guards helped him into the boat, and asked him, “How did you know that help would come, son?” He turns to the coast guards and says, “My Father assured me he would return, and I believed in him”.

In John 14:18, “I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you” says the Lord. My dear young friends, even today you may go through the path of loneliness. You may feel as if you are all alone in this world. You may be filled with agony and pain. Today God says to you, My dear child, I will not leave you comfortless and I will come to you. God is there for you, my friend. He will come to you and bless you. Do not be discouraged, for God loves you a lot. Surely God will come to you and bless you. Keep your trust in Jesus for He will not fail you nor forsake you.

If little Jeremy had that much faith in his father, then why not we in the Father above??

WHAT WOULD JESUS WRITE ABOUT YOU

He was just another person, who just led his life normal monotonous life. One day, as Jesus was walking on the streets of Galilee, He saw this man and said, “Follow me”. He left everything and followed Jesus with the crowd. Jesus saw the crowd and He went up the hill to preach, as He called out His disciples, He wished he would be called too, and yes, his name was among the twelve. He started following Jesus, and saw that He was the ‘Son of God’. He witnessed many miracles, and listened to the parables. He wanted to follow Jesus completely, but he wasn’t ready to change. He still continued with his daily habits.
The Pharisees and the high priests were waiting to condemn Jesus, and they knew that this disciple would be of help to them. One evening they met him, and offered him thirty silver coins, and asked him to betray his Master. Being a gluttonous person, he decides to take the thirty silver coins over his Master.
Jesus was betrayed and later condemned to death. The disciple finally learned that Jesus had been condemned; he repented and took back the thirty silver coins to the chief priests and elders. “I have sinned by betraying an innocent man to death”, He said. “What do we care about that?” they answered. “That is your business!” He threw the coins down in the temple and left; then he went off and hanged himself.
Now you all know who I am talking about, yes, it is Judas Iscariot!
Many days after His death, Bible was written. If you read the Bible, you might come across the naming of all the disciples.
In Mathew 10.1-4; “Jesus called his twelve disciples together and gave them authority to drive out evil spirits and to heal every disease and every sickness. These are the names of the twelve apostles; first, Simon (called Peter) and his brother Andrew; James and his brother John, the sons of Zebedee; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew, the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Patriot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus.”
In Mark 3.13-19; “…and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus.”
In Luke 6. 12-16;”….and Judas Iscariot, who became the traitor.
All the disciples are given a good introduction while Judas is described as the one who betrayed Jesus and the traitor. Judas last action of betraying Jesus is what made him earn this description even in the Bible.
Let’s reflect on our life, are we like Judas, a church goer only on Sundays, a person who just dusts the Bible everyday, someone who calls on to Jesus only during times of trouble, and someone who would give away Jesus, for the pleasures of the world. Then think, how is it written about you in the book of life??

DO YOU HAVE THE BURDEN?

There was a guy who went with his church people for a trip to Kolkata. One fine evening, all the adults went out leaving all their kids under the care of that particular guy since he was the older one of the lot. Suddenly a girl named Hannah who was in 2nd standard was found missing. He searched everywhere for her and found her catching the bars of the gate and with eyes filled with tears. It was the festival time for people in Kolkata and there was a procession of statues of Kali and people were dancing in front of the statues. The particular guy thought she was missing her parents and crying. So he consoled her saying that her parents will come soon and she had no need to worry. But she didn’t stop crying. He asked the reason for her crying. She pointed her little hand towards the people who are walking in the procession and said “Anna, who will go and tell about Jesus to them”.
My dear young people, do you have the burden for the lost souls? If not you, then who will go and share the Gospel of Christ among the idol worshipers? Be filled with the burden of God and proclaim the Gospel of Christ to the people whom you meet in your life.

WHERE ARE YOU?

GENESIS 3: 9 Then the LORD God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?”

God created Adam and put him to live in a garden which was carefully and specially created by God for him. God wants him to live happily in a very peaceful and happy environment. But one day God found that its not good for Adam to be alone. God wanted to create a help meet for him. So He created Eve from Adam’s rib and brought her to Him. God loved Adam so much that He created everything for his own happiness and joy. If you read clearly the beginning chapters of Genesis, we can find that God never took much care in creating other things compared to the creation of Adam. The only reason is, He wants Adam to live in a peaceful environment with utmost joy. God wants Adam’s life to be filled with much blessings.

But one day, Adam give himself to the words of Eve who have sinned hearing the words of the serpent. Adam immediately understood that he was sinned and hide himself from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden. At that moment, he hears a loving tender voice calling his name and the voice asked: “Adam, where are you?”. Its not the voice that was filled with authority and anger but a voice of love. God’s love is in such a way that He longs for Adam.

Even today, my dear young friend, God’s love is searching for you. You might have sinned against God and now you might have hiding yourself from the presence of God. You may think that God will forget you soon as you have committed sin against Him. No my dear friend, He will never forget you. God’s loving voice is calling out you today: “Where are you?”. God’s heart is longing for you. He loves you so much that you can never understand His love. He wants to see you in His presence. Don’t hide yourselves from God’s presence. It does not bothers God that you have sinned. What bothering God is that you are not seen in His presence. Even if you have sinned, come to My presence, says Holy Spirit. When you come to my presence, I will forgive all of your sins through My blood and fill you with My power that you will shine for My glory says Jesus Christ, your Loving Dad.

My dear young friend, God is calling you only. You might have done a hardcore sin against Him. You might feel that He will not forgive you and you were not deserved to be His child. That’s not true my dear friend. God wants to see His child (that’s you) back in His presence. He can never bear you suffering from sin losing all your peace. He want you to be happy always by being…..WITH HIM. Come to Jesus for He loves you lot, even now.

YOU WILL RECEIVE GOD'S BLESSINGS

When you be in the place where God wants you to be, you will get wonderful blessings. Let us see some of the blessings that you will get when you are in the place where God wants you to be.

1. YOU WILL GET GOD’S ABUNDANT BLESSINGS
“ Now the LORD had said to Abram, Get you out of your country, and from your kindred, and from your father’s hourse, to a land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great, and you shall be a blessing. And I will bless them that bless you, and curse him that curseth you and in you shall all families of the earth be blessed. So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken to him……” - Genesis 12:1-4
Abraham received God’s blessing only when he left the place which God wants him to leave and also only when he went to the place where God wants him to go. It is very important that you have to be in God’s will if you want to receive God’s blessing abundantly.

2. YOU WILL GET TO MEET GOD
“Then said Jesus to them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee and there shall they see me.” - Matthew 28:10
“Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. And when they saw Him…..” - Matthew 28:16,17
Disciples saw Jesus because they were in the place where God wants them to be. If on that particular day some disciples had gone to Gethsemane or the transfiguration mountain they would have never had a chance to see Jesus. If you want to see God or meet Him, you have to be in the place where God wants you to be. Obeying God is more important than anything.

3. YOU WILL GET GOD’S PROPHECIES FULFILLED
“Being warned by God in a dream Joseph came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth…...that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.” - Matthew 2:22,23
There was a young guy to whom God has promised many blessing through His mighty prophets. That particular guy thought that he can live according to his own ways to get the prophecy fulfilled. But God wants him to be holy and in His path. Finally as he lived a life away from God, he lost all the God’s promises. Even today he is struggling hard to come up in life but all is efforts are going in vain. If you want God’s prophecies to be fulfilled in your life, you have to be in God’s will.

4. YOU WILL GET GOD’S PROTECTION
“But he (Necho) sent ambassadors to him (Josiah), saying, what have I to do with you, you king of Judah? I come not against you this day, but against the house wherewith I have war: for God commanded me to make haste: for bear you from meddling with God, who is with me, that he may not destroy you.” - II Chronicles 35:21
Josiah was the king of Judah who loved God with all his heart. On a fateful day he leave the place where God wants him to be and face king Necho who was going according to God’s will. Josiah never understand that God’s protection will be in his life only when he resides in God’s place. Josiah went against the will of God and was killed. Many a times sin enters into our life easily because we leave God’s presence and get into the danger zone of the enemy. If you want God’s protection to be upon your life, you have to be in the place where God wants you to be.

If you are in the place where God wants you to be:
You will receive God’s abundant blessings
You will see and meet God
God’s prophecy will be fulfilled in your life
God’s protection will be upon you all through your life.
If you are in God’s will:
No disease will overpower you
No sins will overpower you
No problems will overpower you
No man will overpower you
No demonic spirit will overpower you

GOD WILL NOT CAST YOU AWAY

My dear beloved friend who is reading this , you might be in an inexplicable situation right now. You would have left God and moved to a distance far from Him, you would have grieved God’s heart a lot because of your sinful life, your life would have been a toggle-game between standing and falling in Spiritual life and above all, you might be in a state where you hate yourself for whatever you have done; Jesus Christ, who died for you and resurrected from His earthly grave, is telling you this today: “Take courage, My dear child, I WILL NOT CAST YOU AWAY”. Even today, God loves you as you are. God’s love is an unchanging and everlasting love. Today Jesus Christ says to you: “My dear child, I love you with an everlasting love; therefore with loving kindness I will draw you to me.”

From the Bible if we see certain examples, we can understand the love of God. John 9:34 “They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.”

Pharisees and Jews judged a blind man as a sinner and they cast him out. But what did Jesus do?

Jesus heard what had happened,
Jesus found that man,
Jesus talked with Him and
Jesus revealed Himself to him.

In John 8:3-11, Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery and they wanted to cast her away and stone her to death. Even though Jesus Christ knew she was a sinner, what did He do?

Jesus did not cast her away,
Jesus saved her from the accusers and
Jesus never condemned her.

In Luke 7:37-50. A Pharisee says to himself in his heart that the woman, who washed Jesus feet with her tears, wiped them with her hair, kissed His feet and anointed them with ointment was a sinner. What did Jesus, who knew the entire life history of the woman, do?

Jesus testified her love before the accuser and
Jesus forgave all her sins.

My dear beloved, you might have been cast out by humans, you might have been surrounded by the accusers who put you down for your sins and who want to stone you to death. People might have stopped talking to you and you might have been hated by your very own loved ones. But trouble not, for Jesus loves you. He will never condemn you. He will save you from your accusers. He will talk to you and He will reveal Himself to you even when you have been cast out by the whole world. Yes my dear child, Jesus will never cast you away.

DO BETTER NOW MY CHILD (Paraphrase by Ryan Clodfelter of Kathleen Wheeler)

He came to my desk with a quivering lip
The lesson was done
Have you a new sheet for me dear teacher?
I’ve spoiled this one

I took his sheet all soiled and blotted
Gave him a new one all unspotted
And into his tired heart I cried
Do better now my child

Praise to Jesus Christ

I went to the throne with a trembling heart
The day was done
Have you a new day for me dear Master
I’ve spoiled this one

He took my day all soiled and blotted
Gave me a new one all unspotted
And into my tired heart He cried
Do better now my child

IT IS NOT WRITTEN

Many a times in our life, we feel so bad about our past sins even though we have already confessed those to God and left those sins. Devil brings guilty feelings to destroy the peace that was given by God once when He washes us through His blood. Devil tries to put us down by constantly making us to remember the past sins. He never allows us to grow in Christ bringing those guilty feelings. You may also be wondering whether really God has forgiven all your sins. My dear young people, God says to you today “Your sin is not written in my book”

Kathryn Kuhlman, one of the servants of Powerful God did God’s ministry with a mighty gift that so many people got blessed through her ministry. But one day she fell in love with a person who is already married, by disobeying God’s will. Once she got married with him, she lost all her inner peace which was provided by God. Nearly two years gone and one day God spoke to her that she should return back to Him. She obeyed God’s voice, left him and came back to God. Again God used her more mightily than before. Many wonders and healings began to happen through her ministry and people were greatly blessed. But yet often, devil brought some guilty feelings inside her heart about her past. She worried a lot about this.

One day, God spoke to her and asked, “My dear daughter, do you really think that I have forgiven your sins?” She replied to God as yes. God continued saying, “My dear daughter, not only I have forgiven your sins. But I also forgot your sins. In my book of rememberance it is not written that you have done a sin against me. Why are you remembering the things which I have forgotten?” After hearing this from God, a divine peace filled her heart and she continued doing God’s ministry with clear mind and peaceful heart.

My dear young people, don’t think about your past. God has not only forgiven your sins, He has also forgotten it. Jesus Christ has washed your sins with His blood. Your sins were not written in the book of rememberance. So wipe away your tears and be filled with God’s peace. God will bless you and use you mightily for His glory. Remember, It is not written….. In His book.

GOD's INEXPLICABLE LOVE

Once I was in God's arms
Safe and sound, healthy and wealthy.

In His bosom, I found rest and peace
In His lap, I found comfort and joy.

One day I decided to stand on my will
Got down from His lap even though He stopped.

First time stood on my own feet
Felt so proud without knowing I am insecure.

God was in tears pleading with me to return
I stepped forward having ignored His pleading.

Thought I made a best decision
Lost in my worldly desires far away from my savior.

Never realized I was in enemies zone
Until I got a hit on my head.

Bleeding profusely, on the journey to death
Friends had vanished no one to rescue.

Alas! I saw dimly a tearful face
This looked at me with much pain and love.

He carefully washed my wounds
With much care lifted me from the ground.

When I regained my conscious
I felt I was back in the secure zone.

I looked up as I lay on a lap
Oh I found the face which had helped me.

A face which shows love and care
Where from comfort and joy flows.

It was the face of  My Savior Jesus Christ!
Looking at me with the assurance of forgiveness.

Oh what a love my savior has!
A love which is inexplicable.

LOVE FAILURE?

Once upon a time in my life some people whom I loved a lot, rejected my love and went away from my life. I was filled with so much pain that I could not able to bear their separation and the failure of my love. One day as I was walking on the road to a Christian assembly, I was thinking myself that how Jesus can understand the love failure without experiencing it. Then very soon, Jesus spoke in my heart saying “I can understand your pain because I know the pain of love failure when you started loving the world. My dear son, your love upon the world started with the love failure of mine upon you only. I know the pain of yours because I have experienced it”. When Jesus told me this, I really broke down and understood His love.

My dear young friends, when God’s people start loving the world or the things of the world, they have to know that their love starts with a love failure. They fail God’s love and starts loving the world. So it starts with the love failure with God. Even you may be in a situation where a girl or boy dejected your love and went away. Don’t worry. Return back to God’s love which you have failed once. He will comfort you and not leave you for Jesus knows the pain of love failure.
