Love Others and Be In Love with the Saviour

"We love because he first loved us. If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen” – 1John 4:19-20.

After a while, resumed blogging, and yes, when we write we should practice it…If we don’t we are far away from the kingdom of God. God has enlightened our souls with his steadfast love, and unfailing grace…His blessings are endless. Has he commanded something? Otherwise, what is the summary of all commandments? The two commandments, which gives you all power to follow the Ten Commandments.
Matthew 22:37 -38 says as follows -“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it, You shall love your neighbour as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets.”
This commandment was the commandment of love, Jesus, the son of God, sets this as the bases of law and prophets. Your deeds are ne’er forgotten. Jesus assures this in the verse of Matthew 6: 20... “But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal.”
How will you do this? Matthew 5: 46 says this, "For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?” The following verse, Matthew 5:47 says, "If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?”
Jesus calls us to do ‘More’ than others... 
Being an ardent follower, every Christian should walk this extra mile in his or her life, so that you are ‘More’ in the eyes of God…in the kingdom of God… And achieving this ‘More’ is not impossible. It is possible, when you decide to “Lessen” yourselves in front of the world.
Lessen yourselves, by loving your enemies…
Lessen yourselves, by greeting people, who backstabbed you…
Lessen yourselves, by adopting the strategies as in Matthew 5: 39 - 41 in your life… “But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. And if any man would go to law with thee, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. Whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two. Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you.”
These strategies appear a bit hard and heavy to your heart, to adopt in daily lives...The reason is One, we all are human beings... We cannot forgive whatever bad people has done...Two, we cannot forget the hurt and torture your heart suffered, and Third... your self esteem or your ego... will ne’er allow you to show the other cheek, to give your cloak, to help or be generous to those who backstabbed you, and lend to your enemy for his genuine needs...
What is the after effect?
You are ‘something’ in front of the world...But your feelings of ‘something’ is ‘nothing’ in front of God...And you are far away from the valley...the valley of love, valley of kindness, valley of endless grace, due to your ‘something’ ness...
What is the solution...? Or, I may ask it another way...How to be in the valley, how to be ‘More’ in the valley...?
Matthew 18: 2-4 says as follows, “And he called to him a little child, and set him in the midst of them, and said, "Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.” – So, when we are in the kingdom, we are in the valley.
Now, how to be more in the Valley...? The following verse gives you the answer, Matthew 18: 5 – “Whoever then humbles himself as this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.”
Yes, It is only through being humble as a child, only through being converted and become like children, you will love others, and be in love with the Saviour... “For anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar.”
To love others, especially our enemies, we need to be filled with the spirit of the Lord, The spirit of the Lord is nothing, but his love, Be filled with his love, “For he loved us first...through his crucifixion..
Let us pray, to Lord our God...
“Oh, Jesus, who got tortured and crucified for me, fill my heart with thy love, for me to love others, especially my enemies, and grace me to be in your valley forever.”
In love with Jesus and Mother, winding up till next post...Do pray for me!!

In Valley and In Love with the Saviour

“The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” Lam. 3:22-23

One day someone close to me told that she is going for a pilgrimage, as she does not find peace for quite some months. The other day I heard one of my friends saying that he is going for a stress buster session, as he face sleepless nights. Both were pretty happy in their lives, and in all streams of their lives…

Lost in this world! “Come; Have from my plate and from my glass.” - Jesus calls you… And the Son of Man, calls you to a feast where he serves his Body and Blood for he loves you more than his flesh. How many of us realize His love in this feast. How many of us find time to go for Holy Mass at least twice in a week?

You go after the world, for all the goodness that world offers, You try to find trust in others, kindness, and many more from humans…And you forget that the love of God ne’er ceases and his mercies are endless…

So what are we waiting for? You are in the Valley…but the purpose of being in Valley is complete only when you are in Love…In God’s Love...

This reminds me of a story:

A farmer and a shepherd were walking through a village. Farmer carried a sack full of grains. And the Shepherd was with a herd of sheep. In course of their journey, they had to cross a river of considerable depth. Both were fine to cross it by themselves but with the sack full of grains and herd of sheep it was difficult to manage.

The farmer adopted an easy way, where he sold some quantity of grains to someone and reduced the weight of the sack. The shepherd helped each of the sheep, from the strong to feeble and managed to cross the river without losing any one. Our Savior is like this good shepherd.

His unfailing love and faithfulness guarantees that even if you are lost, lost in this world, he will search for ways to bring you closer to Him. Unlike the farmer, who sold grains and adopted an easy strategy to cross the river, Our Savior climbed the Calvery, and suffered until death… And in fact he bought our souls through crucifixion, through his Holy Blood…

For his mercies are endless, and He is faithful.

So what are we supposed to give in return? How will we pay him back?

As Romans 8: 37 – 39 says: “…For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

And Matthew 22:37-38says as follows: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.” – This is the first and great commandment”

In Love, In Jesus Christ, Let us recite this small prayer, “Love you Jesus, for you are my savior, Love you Jesus for you are my companion, Love you more than anything, for you stay in my heart.”

To be in Valley of Love till Resurrection

“O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before You.” Psalms 88.1

If the last post was a sketch of various instances where Jesus prayed throughout His life, this is a message from God on the significance of persistence in prayer in our lives.

There are several instances in the Holy Bible that shows the significance of prayer. The parable in Luke 18:1-8is a glorious depiction… Luke 18:1 says “And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart.”

Yes He, Jesus, spoke to the crowd through a parable as He used to, during His preaches in the Earthly Ministry…about the need to pray always and the need of a persistent prayer life.

Luke 18: 2-6 He said, "In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected man. And there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, 'Give me justice against my adversary.' For a while he refused, but afterward he said to himself, Though I neither fear God nor respect man, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will give her justice, so that she will not beat me down by her continual coming.'" And the Lord said, "Hear what the unrighteous judge says.”

Here the question is who is my adversary? What are the different adversities that I face in my life? Since, when I am praying to God for a solution? Why is God not answering my prayers?

Jesus says that we are the elected people in the verses that continue.

Luke 18: 7-“And will not God give justice to his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them? I tell you, he will give justice to them speedily.”

Who are the elected people? Does it mean that only Christians are the elected?

James 1.5 says “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.”

Yes, the elected are the ones who seek His wisdom; His wisdom is the Holy Spirit, which was there in its abundance in this universe, from its creation. His wisdom is the Holy Spirit that gave Abraham, the courage to believe in God, and wait till old age for the birth of Issac through Sarah. His wisdom is the willingness to select David as the King of Israel, even though he was tiny and small amongst his brothers. His wisdom is the abundance of intelligence that he showered to King Solomon. His wisdom is the humbleness of the Virgin Mary to accept and believe the good news shared by Angel Gabriel.

Ezra 8:21says as follows: “Then I proclaimed a fast there at the river of Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek from Him the right way for us and our little ones and all our possessions.”

The elected are the people who fast and pray, so that we may humble ourselves before almighty and repent for the sins; so that we may seek the right way from God.

The elected are the people who forgive fellow beings… Matthew 5:44 says “I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you.”

The elected are the people who sing and praise Lord irrespective of the sufferings they face in life. James 5:13 says: “Is any among you suffering? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing praise.”

The elected are the people who pray for the soul and health of themselves and others. And it says in James 5:16: Pray for one another, that you may be healed.”

The elected are the people who pray constantly without anxiety, and offer thanks to Lord. Philipp 4: 6-7 says, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

This reminds me of the night of Jesus’s agony, the night before the crucifixion. Jesus asked his disciples, “Then he returned and found the three disciples asleep. He said to Peter, Simon, are you asleep? Weren't you able to stay awake for even one hour?”

The elected are the people who shares Jesus’s agony and find delight and His presence in the crucifixions that they face in daily life.

Jesus ends the parable with a question, Luke 18:8 “…Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?"

And the question is to all of us. Are you ready to be faithful, till the Son of God offers you resurrection, Resurrection in His Season and His Time?

Last but not the least, the elected are the five wise virgins, who took oil in their vessels with their lamps. So, when the bridegroom arrives, they went with him and entered the Kingdom of God, for the grant wedding feast; and the oil is nothing but faith and preparedness and the lamp is your soul.

Seek His wisdom, fast and pray for you and the world, forgive your enemies, sing and praise in every circumstance, be thankful for the blessings, find delight and His presence in all the sufferings. Moreover be faithful, for Psalms 56: 8 assure “You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book.”

For He will answer in His Time and His Season!!

Winding up in Jesus Christ, till the next three posts for the month of July J

In Converastion and In Union with Father!

"He withdrew himself into the wilderness to pray..."Luke 5:17

One day, I was talking to my Dad about some of the problems. I also discussed about the prayers and offerings that I used to do. The list went like this. I attend Holy Mass every Sunday; if possible I go to church and attend mass on week days. I don’t miss novena to Mother Mary, I pray rosary, and I often give a part of my salary for heavenly deeds. There are people around me who don’t do all these, but live happy lives. Why always my life is filled with problems... Why all those who doesn’t pray, all those who appeared good to me, and back stabbed me has a fun filled life...Even if I pray or not, the situation doesn’t change. If God doesn’t need me, even I don’t need him...”He consoled me, and suggested me to ask the same questions to God....because this is something that I have to talk to God Himself and sort out. After he kept the phone, I asked these series of questions to my sweet Jesus.

As I took the Holy Bible, after sharing my agonies to Jesus, it was Luke 3:21 that read as follows; “Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened.” It was when he started his earthly ministry he prayed, baptized from John, the Baptist and moreover filled with Holy Spirit.

I became a bit curious to know the instances where Jesus prayed, and as I went through the Holy Bible, Mark 1:35 says as follows “Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.” And this was when everyone including his disciples was looking for him that he went to a solitary place. He then decided to go to Galilee, preach in their synagogues and drive out demons.

The previous night that Jesus chose his disciples, "And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God." Choosing disciples was a significant part in His earthly ministry, and Jesus decides to choose those twelve, after a night long prayer with Heavenly father.

Another instance goes as follows: Matthew 14: 12- 13 “John’s disciples came and took his body and buried it. Then they went and told Jesus. When Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place.” – Yes, our Lord prayed when he heard about the death of John, the Baptist, for he was in agony, as every human being; for he was even sure that His purpose in earth is soon to be served.

Jesus expresses gratitude to heavenly father, when the 70 disciples, whom he commissioned, returned with a joyful message, after preaching in the places he planned to visit. Luke 10:21 says it as follows - "I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight."

Another instance where Jesus prayed was during the resurrection of Lazarus. “So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me.” – John 11:41. So, what was Jesus doing till the fourth day of his friend Lazarus’s death... Yes, he was praying. Praying to God, for he is going to do a miracle that he has not yet done. Praying to God, for many to believe in Him, as many among the Jews didn’t believe him as the Son of God. John 11: 45 say, Therefore many of the Jews who had come to visit Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, believed in him.

His prayer life continues even during last supper, and in previous hours of death. Matthew 26: 39, Jesus’s pray at Gethsemane “O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.” Following hours of agony, when he reached Calvery, he prayed for those who made him suffer until death: Luke 23: 34 - Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”

In his last hour of death, he cries to Heavenly father in agony, Matthew 27: 46 says it as follows: “And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?”

Shortly after this, as John 19:30 says, "It is finished. Father, into thy hand I commend my spirit" – Yes, Jesus died after commending his spirit to Heavenly father.

So, what does prayer mean? Is it a ritual that has to be followed by just offering novena, rosary, attending mass and so on...? Not at all... It is a way of life...It is a way to be in the Valley of Love, Valley of kindness, and Valley of endless grace.

Why, And How?

Seek his will, when you start something new, seek his will to decide about anything and everything, leave to him as you know that it is He who knows your purpose on earth. Be thankful to God in each and every circumstance. Pray even for your enemies continuously as they are also God’s children, and he came to save their souls also from the fear of hell. Pray to almighty even in the last hour of your death.

So, what is prayer for a Christian?

It is the way of life, where your soul unites with the soul of God. It is a continuous conversation that you should have with your heavenly father, and the Holy Mass, Holy Rosary and all other prayers you offer should be ingredients of the conversation.

Let us pray the magnificent prayer, as in Luke 11: 1- 4 “And he said unto them, when ye pray, say,

“Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.” “

Resurrection in His Season and His Time!

"And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" - Matthew 27:46

It was the previous night, the day before crucifixion that Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, who came to save humanity, prayed to our heavenly Father in the place called Gethsemane after the last supper.

Matthew 26: 38 -39 describes it as follows: "Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt."

Why even after praying in Gethsemane, our God, Jesus Christ suffered until death...? The trail of sufferings right from the palace of Pontius Pilate, crowning, the route to Calvery, arrogance from the soldiers, and finally the cross. Our God who came to save world from the sins was neither born in a palace, nor died in an amicable way. He died in the cross, and cross was the symbol of sheer disgrace those days.

Is there any reason, for which he suffered so badly, until death?

Is there a reason that he had to suffer so badly?

Now the question is to each one of us. Many a times in our life, we feel that even God has forsaken us. And many a times we had complained to God that why everything goes wrong ?

The answer for these agonies is just another question.

Do you believe in Resurrection?

A resurrection after all the crucifixions... When Jesus Christ, our God was crucified it was for a reason. And the reason was nothing but to save humanity from the fear of hell. Eventually the reason was revealed through his resurrection and ascension to heaven after serving His purpose on earth.

Is there a resurrection in our lives too?

God's wisdom stand far ahead of ours. As Ecclessiastes 3:1 says: "To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.

When is this season? Why there is a time for every purpose? The reason is there in the following verse of the same chapter. Ecclessiastes 3:11 says "He hath made everything beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end."

It is true that when things don’t happen in the way that you think, you become depressed. You may feel your GOD has forsaken you. You might face situations where you don’t find enough care from your parents, love from your partner, care from your siblings, not getting the required recognition at your work place, your finances going wrong, and everything that you thought that are there with you, or that belongs to you, or that will happen might not turn the way you want.

Be patient... Wait for His season. Wait for His time. Forget the world. Focus on God... Let almighty be your light as He is the source of infinite wisdom. And don’t forget this word of God, in Philippians 4:19 – “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

On your life's journey let Faith be nourishment, virtuous deeds be a shelter, wisdom be the light by day and right mindfulness be the protection by night... Be faithful to GOD and believe in Him, continue being generous, pray continuously for Infinite Wisdom, be patient with a right and true mind.

And it is worthy being patient, it is worthy praying continuously, it is worthy being faithful and to believe in GOD for you are ‘Waiting for a Resurrection in His Season, In His Time.”

In this month of June, let us pray to St. Anthony

“St. Anthony, God has helped me abundantly through your prayer and has strengthened me in my need. I thank God and I thank you. Accept this prayer and my serious resolve which I now renew, to live always in the love of Jesus and of my neighbour. Continue to shield me by your protection and pray to God for the final grace of one day entering the kingdom of heaven to sing with you the everlasting mercies of God. Amen.”

Fish: Egg = Snake: Scorpion - Heaven # Earth = Hell

"Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?” – Luke 11: 11-12

Fish: Egg = Snake: Scorpion - Heaven # Earth = Hell

Often in our lives, we are disheartened because many of our prayers go unanswered. We complain to GOD on many a things did not happen as you wish.

Luke 11:9 – 10 says “So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.” This is Jesus’s assurance for our prayers

Why then, your prayers are unanswered?

Jesus Christ, when his disciples where in a dilemma on how to pray, taught a beautiful prayer. And we recite this prayer during the Holy Mass and daily prayers. This prayer is an integral part of all Christians’ life.

Luke 11: 1- 4 “And he said unto them, when ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.”

How should we pray then? Are we supposed to insist God on things to happen in your way?

The Word of God says to pray for His kingdom to come, His will to be done, as in heaven. So, heaven works as per His plan. And he wants us, as God’s children to pray the same way, for our journey should also end nowhere else, but in Heaven. When we seek for His will on earth, we bring His Kingdom, the ‘Heaven’ to Earth.

Heaven to Earth!! How can this transition happen?

A child is so tempted to touch fire because of its glittery, shiny appearance. But he never knows that it will burn and hurt his skin. But, when his mother sees this she makes sure to keep the child away from fire.

Our Heavenly Father also acts the same way. We ask him for many things. We are so much into this world and we keep on asking. But He is just concerned about our soul. So, sometimes when we ask we don’t receive. We knock and we don’t find the door opened! Because He knows, and He is the only ONE who knows that what is good for you, and what is not. If he finds that granting all your wishes, answering all your prayers will end-up in you forgetting His ways, he will not grant it. For he knows that whatever appeared as ‘Fish’ for you is not FISH but snake, and it may harm you, your SOUL. For, He knows that you asked for ‘Egg’ but the EGG may later turn to a SCORPION. And this will harm you, your SOUL in the long run.

And He will lose you in His Valley of Love, for it is not His will that you seek for, for you are not willing to have from His Desk.

So what is Heaven? It is the union of the Holy Trinity - our Heavenly Father, His Son Jesus Christ who is our Saviour, and His soul the Holy Spirit.

When Jesus ascended into heaven, after crucifixion and resurrection he send us a promise. And the promise was none, but the Holy Spirit.

So what are supposed to ask for?

Just ask for His spirit, the HOLY SPIRIT, as it is the promise of GOD. And He Himself says,” How much more will your Father in Heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”

Valley of Love

Some of them hath he sanctified and sat near himself - Sirach 33: 12

Desert versus Dessert

Given above are two different words with different meanings... But the words sound almost same.

What is a Desert?

An area or a landscape where the presence of people, plants and animals are less due to scarcity of resources and terrible weather.

So, what is a Dessert?

A sweet, delicious dish served that completes and give perfection to the meal.

Most of us are in the deserts of our life. And, we find different ways to make it a dessert, to give it perfection. The steps towards completion turn and end in wrong places.

Mark 8: 36 say, “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul.”

There are different ways by which a man loses his soul...

Desire towards money, desire towards love, desire towards belongings, house, property, desire to become famous, desire to please people and desires about your future, children and many more!

"What is wrong with desires? I am a human being... Come on, I am not born to be a fool and live in this world, with no targets and ambitions..."

The Word of GOD ne'er says you to be unambitious or make a fool of yourself. The way you achieve goals and fulfill your desires matter! The attitude you have towards your possessions matter too!

"Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, "How hard it is for the rich to enter the Kingdom of God!"... Mark 10: 23.

And Christ says this in continuation of answering the questions of a rich man. And this rich man obeyed all Ten Commandments, but was unwilling to share his possessions to the poor and needy.

So, where are we lacking?

What makes our life a Desert?

Man's life turns into a desert, when he loses his soul... Yep, the 'S' factor is The 'Soul' of mine that is far away from GOD! And we are in the desert...Our ‘Souls' are far from God due to our sins...

Sins that are against the Ten Commandments!

Sins that are done to satisfy over desires!

Sins that are done due to unwillingness to share his share of GOD's prosperity in the form of money, time and other possessions!

Moreover, Sins in the form of selfishness and pride!

Did you know this?

God is possessive about all of us. And, when he finds that your materialistic attitude leads your soul away from the valley of his abundant love, he ne'er sits idle.

He finds different ways to make you remember him... And these can be a financial crunch, failure in relationship, lose of beloved, problems at work, unexpected health issues... So, why are these for?

These are never punishments, but His ways of sanctification! Sanctifying you, as He is the Saviour who came to regain the lost souls!!

These are His ways of gaining you, when you forget him and goes for the materialistic, not so lasting gains!

He wants you and he makes your life a ‘Dessert’ - out of the desert!

And He attracts you towards the Valley, the Valley of Love, Valley of kindness, Valley of endless grace! The Valley where your soul unites with His, and leads by His spirit, the HOLY SPIRIT!

In this month of May, let us pray to Virgin Mary to sanctify us and save our souls from the fear of hell.

“Hail Mary, full of grace Lord is with you blessed are you among woman and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary Mother of God, pray for us, sinners, now and at the hour of our death, Amen.”

Valley of Love:

"And whenever the people who had evil spirits in them saw him, they would fall down before him and scream,

You are the Son of God!" - Mark - Chapter 3: Verse 11

Depressed, Desperate, Desolate!!

This is how many people feel, after a day long's busy and tight schedule. Surrounded by friends, praises, reached the set and unset goals, bought the gadgets as per the updated wish list, added trendy clothes to the wardrobe... Yet why?

Are we all happy? Happy at heart...!!

What makes a human so unsatisfied!! So uncomfortable about what he is? So disgusting about what he has?

One day, I was talking to one of my old friends. He said about the latest in his wish list.... It was a seven series car…While leaving he told me... ''I am really unhappy about what I am, Not feeling good for so many months'' - I smiled at him.

Life is not the way you need to be, you are not the way you want to be... Wheresoever’s I go, whatever I do, whatsoever I achieve, something is missing, I mean it is not full...It is empty, half empty...half done...half accomplished..

Otherwise achieved everything, got the love of your life, got a well paid and reputed job, got an unexpected hike, but you are sleepless, not enjoying even when you have everything that surrounds you!

Have you ever heard of a Valley...Valley of Love!!

Have you ever experienced how a valley is like...?

You are so busy....No time for something or anything, and at the end you are unhappy.

The reason is just that you don't see the half full side...but you notice that it is half empty...

Sometimes you are full, but even then you miss something..!! And you are not happy...Happiness is a word best described when you are full to the extremes. When you don't find the extremes you are depressed. Even when I write this I tend to think about the half empty stuffs in my life... Why is it so?

We all are possessive.

Possessive about the possessions in the form of achievements, love, children, parents, friends, wish lists, wardrobes etc...

Many a times possessions give you pleasure, And this is when you achieve it, when things goes as per your plan...What is missing then?

Many a times these possessions don't go well, very well or not at all 'well' in the way you want!! Then you are depressed, desolate, and moreover desperate.

So what!!

Everything is fine, but am not fine…because the valley is unreachable, as the possessions hold you back or delays your journey towards it.

But once when you find things does not go your way, you turn to GOD!! For a catalytic influence, for the reaction to happen faster than usual.

Where was this catalyst in the beginning, when you started the journey, or where you missed him during your journey, or why didn't you start the journey with him?

Those were the times you were overwhelmed by the 'I' factor, you were excited and set over expectations for the possessions.

And you forgot to realize the Son of God!!

You never realized there is a valley… a valley of love, valley of kindness, valley of endless grace!!

Valley is a home, the soul of yours that seeks god’s will in anything and everything you do!

Valley is a state of mind, where you accept the things the way it is and rejoice in god as 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 say,“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.’

Valley is an art of living to where you release your possessions, detach yourself from the ‘I’ Factor, and show the readiness to have from Jesus’s desk.

Valley is never a comfort zone, with no pains and gains

Valley never says you to be not ambitious, not to create or add anything to your wish list.

Valley never says you not to be not eager about love, life, children and so on…

Rather Valley is a realization of - You as the son or daughter of Jesus Christ, who is the son of GOD… and you are not supposed to ‘have’ evil spirits in you, but have ‘HOLY SPIRIT’ in you.
