welcoming 2011 !!

New years eve alone at home with some personal time with God. I don't think its a bad way to start the year. So much up in the coming 365 days . Lot to go through . Good and Bad . Easy and Tough . All are up for the year. Probably too much to worry already on . But even in changing seasons its good to have my faith on an unchanging and everlasting God. Started the year with Psalm 71 and the song "Voice of Hope"

Two verses from the Psalm 71

1 In You, O LORD, I put my trust; 

Let me never be put to shame.

5 For You are my hope, O Lord God;

You are my trust from my youth 

And Below the Song :)

For all thats in store for me this New year i ask one thing ! Sufficiency from God. To carry on with what he gives, thru the good times and the bad times.to take them as he gives and lean onto his shoulders; if to weep, weeping only to wet his feet.

Growing stronger and walking closer, living this life back to a God who at the first place gave it :)

God Bless you mates . Have an amazingly awesome 2011 :) Wishing you all and myself a fun filled grace filled New Year

 

Wondering who you are?

You could have people, parents, friends, relatives just pouring out on how inept you are. They go ahead and benchmark you with others. They say how you havent reached thier expectations.

Are you gonna drink in all that sorrow ands say to yourself what they assume you are? Are we going to gauge ourselves with the failures and losses that we have had?

Let us be clear and draw a line on that its definately not our failures, weekness and inabilities that define us. And even more let us not dwell on how and what others define us on. If you ever want someone to define you then stop to pin your ears back only to God and to how he wants to define you.

We must realize that our clarity comes from our very inner self, and that if being Gods then we are being defined inward out. Cause we now trust in God's definition of us and that is the small seed that God has planted in you and he wants that to grow within you.

But again that is not going to sprout and grow into a tree in a day. It’s on how you water and nourish it and the growth will in due course come.If we sit and dwell on others expectation we are falling short of God's purpose in us.


And no matter how broken hurt or drowntrodden we are this capacity for growth, excellence and realization remains within us.

For this power comes from the fact that we were created in the image and likeness of God. And that is irrevocable and intamperable.

I and you need to start defining ourselves in a new perspective, one that stops summing ourselves by the opinion of the world and start seeing ourselves as God sees us.Cause we are precious. We are beautiful. We are his perfection

God wants us to be exceptional men and women, which progression starts when we stop summing ourselves with negativity and looking for aid from a creator.
And when we raise our hands for assistance, we will see God’s hand reaching out to us. Soon you will find all that neagtitvity you been feeding on is being washed by his aura of peace, love and warmth. All those become soon dying shadows in his radiating presence.

You are meant to be as awesome as you are. And none can take that away from you.Not even you.

God bless ya mate.

The Push

T he gentle Eagle coaxed her offspring to the edge of the nest. Her heart quivered with conflicting emotions as she felt their resistance to her persistent nudging,

The little ones didn't want to move to a territory unknown,they quite couldn't understand so as to why ? cause they to themselves where quite small and not ready for something big.and they knew all this was to something big and they feared.

She asked herself

"Why does the thrill of soaring have to begin with the fear of falling"

However this was an ageless questions that was still unanswered for her. None of the wiser eagles too had an answer to nullify what she felt for at that moment.

As in the tradition of the species her nest was located on the shelf of a sheer rock face. Below there was nothing but air to support the wings of her children.

Is it possible that this time it will work? Will they make it ? or will it be too late for her and to early for them she thought? fear was gripping her

Despite her fears the eagle knew it was time  her parental mission was all but complete, there remained one final mission 'THE PUSH'

The eagle drew courage from an innate wisdom

" that until her children discovered their wings , there was no purpose for their lives for until they learned how to soar they would fail to understand the privilege it was to have be born as an eagle "

The push was the greatest gift she had to offer
It was her supreme act of love
And so, one by one she pushed them ..

After all the Fear transformed into a TEAR.

 A tear of joy as she saw her children soaring high.

Mates ....  The push is sometimes what we need and even more it is sometimes what we need to give our dear ones.

it can be the greatest gift you ever give ..because it will change a life for ever

Filling in the empty spaces

 Probably the greatest synonym one can come up with CHRISTMAS is " Filling in the empty spaces". After all isn't that Christmas all about filling the empty spaces. A Saviour who came to fill in the empty space that separated Man from God. If it was so then our Xmas days and celebrations shouldn't be any different.
Filling in those spaces for your friends and family is the best thing you could do.

Every person would have an empty space. Something that they corner to or cave into when they feel sad or lost. Sometimes it could be, feeling of not being loved, a financial situation, a family problem, a loss, a health issue .. but if we can fill in those spaces it would do them a lot. True we cant change those situations but giving them hope, sharing and caring will mean a lot to them. Sometimes they wouldn't just share to you until you break that invisible barrier.And when you do a whole flood of emotions will hit you. You will find that noisy neighbour and cruel colleague is after all not how you had pictured it to be.

So cheer your mates. Wishing all a blessed Xmas and Amazing year ahead

A prayer unanswered ?

 I am not sure what outweighs a prayer. Is it the expectation and faith for the prayer to be answered or recognition of a father who does things and knows what is best for us? Sometimes we have so much expectation in prayer that at times an unanswered prayer tears us down. Is it because we really dont believe deep within that everything that happens does happen because God allows it ?

Would we need prayers to be answered even if it is not God's will? I still search within if i have prayed a prayer that way ? Was it wrong ?

When we pray we pray cause we need it to be answered. What do you do when it does not happen ? Question God  and throw ourself into a pit of doubt and neagitivity? Or try to take comfort in the fact that God allowed it to happen ? 


Sometimes its better to trust that to expect.

We prayed much, did all we could yet the outcome was not what one could hope for. Its hard to comfort and much truth is no man or woman can comfort a loss of someone so dear.

How things of future are going to be can not be said. But you can decide with whom the things of future must reside.

I pray that the comforthing presence and providence of God will strengthen each and every heart.

One can never really choose to hold on to what God has given.Sometimes life is short and when it winds down have you made that one chance count ? the chance to smile and make a difference ! the chance to forgive !

I would probably turn back to this entry just to remind myself of how important every second of our life is.We need to trust in God and take things as it comes to us not questioning the author but trusting in the perfector.

“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”

God bless
