Be SmaRT And NeVeR GiVe Up!

 Mathew 13:24-30, 36-43
This parable, about the good seed and the weeds is quite straight-forward and self-explanatory for us to understand! Also Jesus himself is seen later, in verses 36-43,explaining the parable .
 No matter how many times I might have read or studied a particular passage,but everytime I seem to understand something new,something different and most of the time its completely apt to my ‘at-that-particular-time’ situation.  I am pretty sure, this is the experience of most of us! Power of The Word!!
Couple of things that made me think when I was reading this parable were a) v25 “…But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed ….”
True..very true!! The enemy usually comes while we are sleeping, i.e when we are least alert! He chooses a time when we are tired and worn out i.e when our prayers and praises become weak.  In life,when nothing seems to be happening, no prayers seems being answered, no situation or circumstance seems to be changing;as if God had forgotten about our existence on planet earth.! And hence, tempting us to reason why, to doubt his capability, to waver from our faith and sometimes to just give up and leave him ! That is why the bible has verses like To be vigilant, be alert,be on your guard, (1 Peter 5:8 ,1 Corinthians 16:13 and many more! )

Also we have to “be careful” and keep in check even our daily dealings i.e. our speech ,our conduct, our attitude and our treatment towards things,towards people,this too can open a door for the devil to walk in!
The 2nd thing I have always wondered was why is god  letting the evil be! Like in my case, when I was recovering ,I knew I shouldn’t ask “why” so I just re-framed it to “what if”. Instead  of  “why did this happen to me?” , I was like “what if God...the bad people like the murderers, rapists or terrorists,people who commit heinous crimes, have brain tumor?” As if god wanted my opinion to run the world. But V29-30 gives us a clearer picture, he is just waiting till the harvest,till the end "and" there will definitely be an end to evil, to people who do evil, to the enemy, by everlasting fire! Let us just be smart and never give up but keep pressing on because one day,in God’s chosen time, everything will make sense!

                 Seeing your empty chair ,me turning around but not finding you sipping coffee in your lungi or not seeing you listen to songs and sermons on youtube, you not reading your Physics books..this all seems very unreal to me! I cannot  accept  this reality where you are no more, Where i can’t  see you or hear you or talk to you or hug you  everyday.  Its almost a month since I have heard you call me Blessy!             Turning 31 today, without you,your physical presence,without you placing your hand on my head and praying @12 midnight,like every year ...... And thinking that it's going to be like this from now on is breaking me!             Over the past 10 yrs,i have many dates  fixed in my head, 11th May 2009, when I was suddenly diagnosed with a rare brain tumor, 25th May  ...

It's The Attitude!!

-
           Today in the morning while listening to Dr. Charles Stanley share from the passage of The Prodigal Son (Luke 15: 11-31),  He commented on how quick we all usually are to study   about the younger brother who left home and went away to a far-away country with his portion and lived in Sin. But we tend to overlook the older brother who didn’t leave home, who was with the father the whole time; who faithfully served his father. And yet this very older brother, was filled with unforgiveness,   bitterness, jealousy, self-righteousness, was disrespectful as soon as he felt he was betrayed or wronged. His attitude steered towards bitterness at the drop of an unpleasant circumstance. (luke 15:28-30)   That’s very true!             We usually sit and study and analyze the younger lost son’s actions and maybe, sometimes , compare ourselves with him. But what if we are like the ot...

Our Ultimate Goal!!

               2 Corinthians 4:15-18  15  All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God. 16  Therefore we do not lose heart.  Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed    Day by day.   17  For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.   18  So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen,  Since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal  This is one of my go-to verses when I am feeling low and exhausted or anxious or stressful or worthless or hopeless because it instantly makes me feel just the opposite of all those words. Though The Bible as a whole, has the ability to change you, your feelings, your emotions and give you peace because it is filled with hope and promi...
