JUST AS I AM

Hey it feels great writing something after a pretty long time!!Its not some positive thinking or some tip to make you feel good its just one of the most basic principle of bible given in the book of genesis.Genesis 32:27 says "then the man asked him what is your name? he answered i am Jacob".In this chapter we find Jacob wrestling with God and then God asks him one of the most profound question in all of the scripture and that was "what is your name?". God would have asked him many questions but he asked him this question because of a reason.Years before he had tricked his father Issac who was blind by telling him that he was Esau but now years's later he was standing before the ALL SEEING HEAVENLY FATHER and he said God you have got me it's me jacob!!!WHEN he acknowledged before God who he was God made something great out of him, likewise when we come before God just as we are without any makeup,showoff or artificial spirituality God will surely make something great out of us!!!God Bless

'Desiderata'-Desired Things

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Max Ehrmann, Desiderata
[Max Ehrmann (September 26, 1872 – September 9, 1945) was an American writer, poet, and attorney from Terre Haute, Indiana, widely known for his 1927 prose poem "Desiderata" (Latin: "things desired"). He often wrote on spiritual themes.]

power vision OR RATHER vision power!

An excerpt from George Barna's, 'The Power of Vision'

"All men dream; but not equally.
Those who dream by night
in the dusty recesses of their minds,
awake to find that it was vanity;

But the dreamers of the day are
dangerous men, that they may act their
dreams with open eyes to make it
possible."

Vision is seeing beyond what has already been accomplished in the past to what God desires for the future. As a leader, God's desire has to become my desire. Vision is seeing beyond the limitations and frustrations of the present and seeing what is possible with God. Vision is to have a clear God-given sense of direction and purpose, coupled with a commitment to complete the journey.

Vision is Spirit-initiated, not people motivated. Because it is implanted by God, God also imparts the faith to believe it can happen, and the power to see it through. Vision is to have the certainty that this is what God wants done. True vision, born of God, grips a person like a vice and will not let go until the job is done.

The purpose of vision is to create the future. The future is not something that just happens. It is a reality that is created by those strong enough to exert control over their environment. The future belongs to God and through Him to those who are driven to shape it. It is the power of God working through people led by visionaries that cause that image of the future to become reality.

Be Followers Of Christ

Praise the Lord YUWA

1 corinthians 11 : 19 -
For there must also be factions among you, in order that those who are approved may have become evident among you.

Here Apostle Paul addresses to the Church of Corinth about the things he needs the Church to understand. Here in this verse Paul says that in this world there are some people who hold up or teach of ( especially religious) or have an opinion which differs from the official opinion. These people belong to the murmurring group, who dissents and disagrees from the the larger group.
They are present in the group to bring differences among people inorder to judge and divide. So Paul clearly mentions that with these intentions in heart it is better we don`t be part of the Holy Supper.


Our God is a Forgiving and Merciful God, He loves us . Once we confess our sins before Him, He forgives us, all we need to do is to live in with OBEDIENCE to Him. We are no one to judge anyone, it is Our God who is Perfect in ALL IN ALL. So better we reconcile ourselves and come before in His Holy presence with an open and submissive heart . Once God forgives our sins, do remember not to walk in those dirty part of life again. He wants us to Imitate Him rather than imitating some other people of this world. For all Glory belongs to Our God alone. So better kneel before Our Good God in prayer and seek his presence rather than His presents.
Our God knows our inside out and He alone can fix our problems and find the best solutions . Believe and you shall see the GLORY OF GOD in your life.

God Bless Us All.

Amen

THE RIGHTEOUS ARE BOLD LIKE A LION

Praise the Lord
Well today i would like to copy paste a funny story which i read it somewhere and would like you also to read it...This story is about boldness ....... here it goes.....

An elderly lady was well-known for her faith and for her boldness in talking about it. She would stand on her front porch and shout, “Praise the Lord!” Next door to her lived an atheist who would get so angry at her proclamations he would shout, “There ain’t no Lord!!”

Hard times set in on the elderly lady and she prayed for God to send her some assistance. She stood on her porch and shouted, “Praise the Lord!! God, I need FOOD!! I am having a hard time. Please, Lord, send me some groceries!!”

The next morning, the lady went out on her porch and saw a large bag of groceries and shouted, “Praise the Lord!!” The neighbor jumped from behind a bush and said, “Ha Ha!! I told you there was no Lord. I bought those groceries. God didn’t.”

The lady started jumping up and down and clapping her hands and saying, “PRAISE THE LORD!!! He not only sent me groceries, but He made the devil pay for them!!”
