WHAT HAVE I

 

What have I, that is mine.

What have I, that I fear losing it.

What have I, that I'd cherish it.

What have I, that makes me low.

What have I, that I can exercise authority on.

Nothing! Nothing at all.

For all I have is God's gift to me.

Even my very life belongs to Him.

Nothing belongs to me.

Anything that can happen to me cannot happen unless God gives the permission.

Then the question would Arise, why problems, why failure, why persecution etc.

God allows all these, to see if we really have faith in Him and trust Him in all circumstances.

No matter how little we Love Him, His Love for us will always remain the same.

Then what should I do?

I need to believe in God's promise that all things work together for good, He is still in control, He can do things impossible. I just need to surrender my life to Him and Live this Life totally for Him as His disciple.

DON'T QUIT

DON'T QUIT

In times of trials,

When life on Earth seems impossible,

Just trust God and he will make it possible

But please don't quit.

When you think you are useless,

Shut your mind, and listen with open ears,

God has a plan for each of our lives

Therefore, hang on, don't quit.

When you prepare for an exam

And know you haven't done well in the past

Work hard and then peacefully rest

Be bold, don't quit.

When you start a race

And accidentally fall

Listen to your inner voice call

"Get up, run, don't quit.

When people harass you

When friends betray you

Remember the Lord is always there for you

Turn to him, don't quit.

When evils in the world increase

When darkness surrounds

Remember you can be the light around

Be an example, don't quit.

"Therefore, whatever the circumstances may be just don't quit."

ENCOURAGEMENT

 ENCOURAGEMENT

Encouragement is a special quality

Which should never be measured by quantity.

Many can discourage people

And hit their heart like that of a strong rifle,

But great are those who encourage

Each person they meet along life’s mileage.

Encouragement lifts up a person

Whose hit rock bottom due to a reason.

It puts in him a hope in life

When he goes through death like strife.

It is the power to reinforce a smile

On a face from where tear drops trickle.

You can encourage through words, actions, deeds

But remember you can discourage through the same of these.

Therefore be careful and take heed,

Lest the unexpected befall, I plead.

Take the Lord Jesus Christ as an example

And follow his ways that are simple.

ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER AS IT IS THE GREATEST THING YOU CAN DO.

एहसास

 एहसास

इस सूनी सूनी जिंदगी में जो अंधेरे से भरी है।

खुदा तुम्हारे एहसास से मुझे रोशनी दिखती है।

और तुम्हारे साथ में, मैं अधूरी नहीं हूँ।

जब मैं दर्द में होती हूँ तब लगता है मुझे कोई नहीं समझेगा।

खुदा तुम्हारे एहसास से मुझे आशा की आवाज सुनाई देती है

और तुम्हारी आवाज़ से मुझे सुकून मिलता है।

कभी-कभी सब होते हुए भी लगता है कि जैसे मैं अकेली हूँ।

खुदा तुम्हारे एहसास से ही मैं जानी हूँ

कि एक पल भी मुझे तुमने अकेला नहीं छोड़ा।

जब जीवन का बोझ भारी लगता है जो मैं कभी उठा नहीं सकती।

खुदा तुम्हारे एहसास से मेरे मन में शांति आ जाती है क्योंकि मेरा बोझ तुम उठा लेते हो।

जो भी मुश्किल क्यों ना आयी हों।

जो भी खुशियां क्यों ना आयी हों।

जितने भी आंसू क्यों ना बहाए हों।

तुम साथ हमेशा मेरे हर वक़्त रहते हो।

बस तुम्हारे एहसास में जीने के लिए, तुम मुझे कुछ सिखाओ ना खुदा।

SORROW AND JOY

SORROW AND JOY

When your dreams are shattered

When your aspirations hit the ground

When it seems like darkness surrounds

There you feel the sorrow of your heart.

With a broken heart

Trying to mask your face with a smile

Nobody see's the pain you've gone through awhile

You try doing things as if nothing happened.

Tears roll down your gentle face

As sorrows try to overwhelm you

Seeking for someone to encourage you

Your Heart lies low within.

Have you felt no one understands you?
Your heart is burdened with so many emotions
You fail to comprehend the transformations
And pray for wisdom all the way.

I hear a voice saying something to me
"Cast all Your burdens onto me" it says 
I wonder who it is and why
"I'm your Loving Father and I care for you" says the voice.

Oh my heart begins to rejoice
For the comfort of my Father I heard
Where once the depressing thoughts lured
And now I'm set free by His grace.

He has turned my mourning into dancing
My sorrows to Joy He did convert.
Thank you Father for your immense love for me.

FORSAKEN

FORSAKEN

"Even if my Father and Mother abandon me, the Lord will hold me close" - Psalm 27:10

The pain of being forsaken

is something unbearable.

Many children have been forsaken

when parents think children are intolerable.

Nobody controls these children lives

except the little conscious in themselves.

Most of them ruin their lives

due to the deep agony and frustration.

Jesus was forsaken on the cross

for three hours by His Heavenly Father.

It was because of the sins we committed

and He showed His true love like a brother.

His blood covered our sins

and renewed the relationship with God.

He rose again, lives and reigns

to show that He is God's Son.

- Always remember that everybody in this world may forsake you but Christ will not forsake you, for He knows the pain of it. Just trust in Him and He will be your best friend.

FRIEND

FRIEND

There stands one beside me

In every circumstance.

All my burdens, He sets free

And fills me with His peace.

There is one who loves me

No greater love than His

How can I flee?

This wonderful love to miss.

Me, a sinner, His friend,

For me His blood He shed

Resurrected so as to bind

Me, forever to be His own.

In every difficult situation,

He is there; needed help to supply,

To me and to every nation

His love - He will multiply.

The question He asks,

"Are you ready to be my friend?"

For your answer He waits

Say "Yes" for His love never ends.

JESUS IS THIS FRIEND. 

ONLY GOD CAN FILL YOUR VACUUM

DO YOU HAVE A VACUUM (EMPTINESS) IN YOUR HEART?

YOU DO LOT OF GOOD THINGS BUT STILL FEEL SOMETHING IS MISSING?

ONLY GOD CAN FILL THAT VACUUM

Genesis 1: 2,3
The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters. Then God said,"Let there be light", and there was light.

Isaiah 55:10,11
For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return there without watering the earth, and making it bear and sprout, and furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater; So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, without accomplishing what I desire and without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.

The Heart of Man
Mark 7: 14 - 23
After He called the crowd to Him again, He began saying to them,  "Listen to Me, all of you and understand: there is nothing outside the man which can defile him if it goes into him; but the things which proceed out of the man are what defile the man. if anyone has ears to hear let him hear."
When He had left the crowd and entered the house, His disciples questioned Him about the parable. And He said to them, "Are you so lacking in understanding also? Do you not understand that whatever goes into the man from outside cannot defile him, because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and is eliminated?" And He was saying "That which proceeds out of the man, that is what defiles the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, deeds of coveting and wickedness, as well as deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride and foolishness. all these evil things proceed from within and defile the man."

John 17: 3
This is eternal Life, that they may Know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

Acts 17:24-31
The God who made world and all things in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all people life and breath and all things; and He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us, for in Him we live and move and 'exist', as even some of your own poets have said, ' For we also are His children'.
Being then the children of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and thought of man.
Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance God is now declaring to men that all people everywhere should repent, because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead."

IT IS NOT A THING BUT A PERSON WHOM YOU NEED TO FILL THE VACUUM IN YOU, AND THAT PERSON IS JESUS CHRIST.

FEAR NOT

FEAR NOT

"Fear not for I am with thee: be not dismayed, for I am thy God. - Isaiah 41:10"

What are you afraid of ?

What do you fear the most:  

Darkness, death or being lost,

The future, exams and results ?

Do not fear anything.

That's impossible!

Believe God's word, it's possible;

Fear God and you need not fear anything.

But why is life filled with uncertainties?

My mind is filled with doubts and fear.

God's purpose, to you He will make it clear,

Trust God and depend on Him.

Why does God allow trials, difficulties and failure?

It makes me feel so miserable;

God allows it to make you strong and understandable,

For you to help others when they are in the same situation.

- Therefore whatever your fears, take it to the Lord in prayer and He will comfort you.

HOPE

HOPE

MATTHEW 12:21 - "AND HIS NAME WILL BE THE HOPE OF ALL THE WORLD."

Hope gets life going,

where life's seas are roaring.

It seems as if the end has come

but there is hope for a better life.

Dark clouds break forth and bring rain

to the dry earth which looks slain.

Hope breaks forth to a new life

which is needed for every downcast man.

Losing everything in life doesn't mean anything

but if you lose hope; you've lost everything.

Therefore never let go of this one thing

always cling on to hope.

'JESUS IS THE HOPE OF THE WORLD.'

WHY WORRY?

WHY WORRY

Everyday as you rise,

Something new to face,

Trials stand at the doorstep and cries,

"Come run this race."

Each step, walk with faith

Fears, do put it aside

For we have a God who careth

Who will protect against every high tide.

LOVE

LOVE

To love one is the greatest thing

as you can love even the simplest being.

It is a special ability

which can be used to liberty.

Love is God's wonderful gift

given to all men to lift

every person who is in trouble

and make him smile and bubble.

Love comes from within the heart

not from any other part.

Love is often misunderstood as like

but few know real love alike.

Physical beauty attracts people

but inward beauty is more lovable.

People spend hours beautifying themselves

but rarely beautify that inward person in their selves.

Physical beauty deceives a man

who foolishly receives a woman

not knowing her inward person

but accepting beauty as the only reason.

Perfect love drives away all fears 

and wipes away all tears.

Love brings peace and unity

when there is war and diversity.

True love binds a person with chords

which are stronger than metal rods,

They are difficult to be broken

as they have been deeply sunken.

Love can be expressed less in words

but more in actions and in deeds

As actions can be heard

louder than words indeed.
