Glimmer of hope - Poem


The book of Ruth starts with sorrow and grief.
It ends  with joy and glad tidings
It begins with losing loved ones
It ends with cuddling Obed with joy

It begins with Naomi feeling lonely
It ends with bringing the family together
It begins with losing all hope
It ends with a new beginning, a new hope.

You might be in a dead end now
But there is a turn round the corner
There is hope in trusting Jesus
In returning to Him, in resting in Him

Not just in this world
But also in His realm of things.
Abraham was childless for so long
Then he was blessed with Issac in his old age.

And many more as stars in heaven
Both in lineage and in faith
Job lost everything to begin with
But God gave him twice as much later

Israel out of their sin was exiled to Babylon
But from being scattered all over the world
They were brought back to a nation in 1948
Moreover all of us wait for the New Jerusalem

There is hope in the Lord
A hope that transcends all grief.
That this testing time would come to pass
That we would meet our loved ones ashore

That He has plans to prosper us not to harm
That He is coming back again to take us home
A hope to which we can cling to
Because He is good all the time.

      When typing full of spelling mistakes. So retyping...Sorry.

      Nice poem. Two days ago I was hearing a sermon of Bro. Rajkumar. He was saying we should never say life is hopless or situation is pathetic or horrible or there is no solution because in 1 Timothy Chp 1 Vs 1 says CHIRIST IS OUR HOPE...For God's children it's is the living assurance given to us by the living WOG

      Yes Christ is our hope. Well said vinoicha. Not that things would be alright for us. Not that I will be blessed. Christ is our hope. We don't need anything else.
      The Lord is my shepherd.
      I shall not want.

Support

If God is for us who can be against us? Rom:8:31 This is not like a match, where the home team gets the crowd support. And because of the massive crowd support, you are motivated to do your best. You therefore perform well and then you win. Crowd is for you.  But sometimes it will not work that way. That support may often backfire. You will be pressurized to perform well and then you crumble. When St. Paul says that, if God is for us who can be against us, that is not in that sense. He is with you in the game. The nearest similitude is like, the GOAT is playing for your team.  Even then you might lose the game. But not when God is on your side. You are sure to win. Because of many reasons. He is God. He loves you so much. He has plans to prosper you. Image credit:  https://www.instagram.com/p/DQOQNQdj3Xf/

The big picture

Rom:8:28 And we know that, God causes all things to work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. - And we know that. It is a surity. Not a hypothesis. Nor a proposal that needs to be proved. Not an idea that needs to be tested. It is a proven fact. My response is to just believe. - God causes. It is not a product of chance. It is God who works behind everything. The Eternal Supreme being. The Creator and Sustainer behind the Universe. The Almighty King of kings. Now works all things together for you. - All things to work together. Not few things. All things. Your life is in His hands. And no one can snatch you away. -  For good. For your ultimate good. The ultimate good is not something which you dream about. He is not a magic wand to make your wish come true. The ultimate good is your transformation into the Son's likeness . So anything that happens outside your plan, any wreck that you are involved in, will ultimatel...

Essential doctrines of Christianity

Rom:8:29-30 Foreknew-Predistined-Called-Justified-Glorified. Each of these words is a basic doctrine which needs to be studied. Foreknew - knew before hand. Even before we were born. Even before the foundations of the earth was laid. He knew me. Because He is my Creator. He is my Father. And loves me. Predestined- God's plan of choosing me happened even  before I existed. That doesn't negate my role in my salvation. But He chose me when I least deserved it. It was not you who chose me, but I chose you, Jesus says. Called - The calling was given to be reinstated by God. It was initiated by God. Not that I found Him. But He found me out  Justified - And because of the salvation offered to me, I stand justified. Just as if I never sinned. Washed clean by the blood of the spotless and blemishless love of Jesus. Glorified - The most perplexing and intriguing word. Not will be glorified. He has glorified. The reward of the glorified body we will get in eternity to come f...

Grace

I was found by those who did not seek me. I became manifest to those who did not ask for me. Rom:10:20 Isa:65:1 In Isaiah it says, I permitted myself to be found, I permitted myself to be found..... This is called grace. To us Gentiles, when we did not seek him. When we did not pursue Him. While we were rebellious and not destined to know Him. While we were slaves to many things.... Grace came along and chose us. Not that I deserved it. Not that I chose Him. Infact He came along when I rejected Him. He came along when I was not seeking Him. But He chose me, when I least deserved it. It was God's initiative. Image credit: https://www.instagram.com/p/C4iLAx1OSog/

Beloved

Rom:9:25 And her who was not beloved, beloved. Quoted from Hosea.  Hosea's wife was an adulteress and her children were illegitimate. Even after Hosea married her, in her promiscuity, she deserted him for others. But still Hosea genuinely and passionately  loves her and busy her back. We don't know whether Gomer realised and repented. But we continue to reject His love even after He considers us His beloved when we did not receive it and when we did not want it. I am the Lord's beloved is an emotional outcry to others who ridicule is, sillify us and those who hate us. Yes God is on my side. But what has changed in you because of this cry. How does it prompt you to act? To pursue His character. https://www.facebook.com/CentralOnTheSquare/photos/womenofthebiblewednesday-gomer-was-the-unfaithful-wife-of-hosea-the-prophet-the-/10158096443522157/

Safe in the arms of Jesus

For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. Rom:8:18 Whatever you go through today, dear one, is insignificant as compared to the glory that will be revealed later. V:25. If we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it. The hope of what we do not see, but are yet to see, the glory of it all, that which is kept as an inheritance for me, the eternal life. The weight of it. The magnanimity of it. The humungousness of it. As compared to that, your present day trouble is nothing. Be it health. Be it financial. Be it emotional. Be it any significant thing for you. It is insignificant for Him. Not that He will push it aside. God has it all in His hands. And He has a solution. He holds my present times and the eternity in His hands. Then just trust right?  Greater things are yet to come. These are all small things for your Father. Greater things He has done. Greate...

The love of Christ.

Who will separate us from the love of Christ. Rom:8:35. A self answering question. Nothing. Not tribulations. Not distress. Not persecution. Not famine. Not nakedness. Not peril. Not sword. Rom:8:38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers  nor height, nor depth nor any created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord Amen. God's love will never fail you. It will never leave you.  His love is always there. No matter wherever you are. But what if you deliberately choose to walk far away from His love? His love is still there. Like the Father of the prodigal son, He would be waiting. His love will not push you far away but hold you close to His bosom than ever before. His love will be there, but it is your choice to stay in it that determines whether you experience it. His love will not grow cold. But will you choose to receive i...
