Here I am


Not everyone is expected to be a C. S. Lewis or an A. W. Tozer or a Billy Graham. But you are expected to go. To reach out. 
The question is directed to you. Whom shall I send? To that friend of yours whom you have seen as a loner, sitting in the corner of the classroom, always with a melancholic face. 
Whom shall I send? To that friend who struggles with cancer, who is apprehensive about his future and how his family would survive without him. 
Whom shall I send? To that young widow who wanted to start things beautifully and then life took an abrupt turn in her life for worse. Now not knowing how to go about. 
Whom shall I send? To those parents who helplessly see their child slipping away; may be an ailment. May be rebellion. 
I will go. 

Not all Christians are oratious. Not all Christians are David Livingstones and Hudson Taylors. But you can be the light in your brother's life. Directing him to the God who loves him. Pulling him out of the darkness. You are not expected to impact the world if you can't impact lives. 
If I am blind to my neighbour's needs and I run to change the world, there is hypocrisy written all over it. Would you help Or would you preach? Only one person is there to hear ( the one whom you help) vs a church overflowing with congregation. 

Time to ponder.

Enslaved

Rom:6:22 Enslaved to God. I want to be enslaved to God. I want to do things which please God. I want to come out of the slavery I'm stuck in. Where I am forced to do things which I hate to do. As a new creation, slave to righteousness I am made. I am free indeed, but slave to God. I want to be a man after God's own heart. I want to be a person doing the right things. Making the right choices. Seeing the right things. Hearing the right things. Filling my heart with the right things. I want to hate things which I once loved. I want to resist my old master and surrender to my rightful Lord. Reciprocate the Agape Love to me. Unconditional love that loves me without any tags. I want to be a man who thinks only about my God. Always. I want to, but I am unable to. I fall miserably again, yet again. Creating wounds and scars around me and in me. Scars that are difficult to heal. Still my selfishness I pursue. The old man forces me. Though I need not listen to his voice. And...

Son

Rom:8:14 For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God. We are His children. His very own. We are His beloved. The King of kings. We have the privilege to call Him Abba Father. Heirs of God. Co-heirs with Christ. Will not this Almighty Abba Father give you everything you need? Will not He protect you from every danger? Will not He provide for you and care for you? Then what precludes your absolute trust. Why don't you believe that you are standing on hard Rock? Solid Rock?  Yes you love Him, but do you trust Him?

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...

Bane lifted

Rom:8:12 So then brethren, we are under obligation not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. You are not destined to slavery. You are not destined to curse. You are out of all jinx. No obligation. V:11 He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. You need not struggle in any familial trait. All bane has been cancelled. On the cross. By the blood of the unblemished Lamb you have been washed clean. A new creation you are. Abundant life you are called for. Then why this struggle? It's fine. Keep submitting to the Holy Spirit in you. It's a process. Do not worry. Do not be angry. Do not be anxious. Do not fret. Do not fall into the trap you have been falling recurrently. The trap which subtlizes you. Life to the fullest is yours for the taking. In Jesus Christ. Image credit: https://in.pinterest.com/pin/452189618836552880/

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...

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/
