The Narrow Door!!

Luke 13:24 .. Jesus said "make every effort to enter through the narrow door...."         As a Sunday-school going young kid, I always imagined when a person died, he would go up to God and then God would show him two paths: a wide path and a narrow path, LITERALLY !! Like an actual wide road and a narrow road is placed in front of him and he has to make a choice,there and then! The wide path would lead to hell and the narrow road would lead to heaven .        The wide road was a Tar road, widespread and smooth and shiny, was very easy to walk on, looked very strong, good-looking, a concrete with no cracks ; a textbook "Pakka" road in hindi. ‎While the narrow path looked very parched and muddy and dusty with all cracks, and had red soil....a " Kaccha " road(I imagined my native place roads : my 'then' Kerala roads. ..("then" because now it's all Tarred ). A not-at-all smooth road with tiny stones and pebbles lying around and s

God IS IN CONTROL!

Your Creator, The Creator of All is in control ! He holds the entire Earth and everything in it;  every being in it, everything seen and unseen; He holds the Earth and sustains the Heavens! He positions The Sun and The Moon in the sky! Galaxies and Planets were formed at his command! The Stars twinkle at his nod! He directs the wind the path it should take today and   assigns every season. He controls the weather. He tells the water of the sea where to stop and the land where to start from! He commands and things form . He commands things to be, to just BE!        Many times,we tend to forget that we look up to a God, who is ‘THE GOD’. I think because inspite of he being ‘The God’, 'The Maker of Everything' , he is also many other things to us; a Friend , a Father ,a Companion ,always a Comfortor, filled with love and He is love, Compassionate towards all, slow to become angry,is very considerate, is very patient with us, forgives us, blesses us, unders

Jonah,a Natural being-just like us!

                 The Bible is a Supernatural book with natural circumstances!   i.e.the bible is all about stories of normal everyday problems happening to ordinary people like you and me with some   supernatural encounters and experiences like supernatural healings   or supernatural events like a donkey talking (Numbers   22:21-35) or the sun-standing still upon Gibeon (Joshua10: 12-14) or water turning into blood in Egypt(Exodus7:19-24) or the parting of the Red Sea(Exodus 14:21-29) or Sarah giving birth to Issac at 90(Genesis 21:1-8) or Daniel in lion's den(Daniel 6) and many many more.It is a very relatable book because the author of it is God  (2 Timothy 3:16) who came down and became a man,Jesus! Therefore ' Natural ' situations mixed with ' Supernatural ' events!            So we come across stories of many who make mistakes and then regret making them and repent but then repeat, sometimes unknowingly but most of the times knowing completely it’s a m

IT FELT LIKE DEATH!

  I recently happen to come across the testimony of  Joni Eareckson Tada who had a diving accident at 17 which left her quadriplegic and on a wheelchair. After 43 years in a wheelchair,paralysed from shoulders down; keeping her faith intact; being an instrument for advancing God’s kingdom and speaking and writing about God’s faithfulness in her life, even with all her disabilities;  suddenly at age 60 s he discovered that she had Breast cancer !!        When the doctor informed her that her tumor is malignant, she described; IT  JUST FELT LIKE DEATH!   ( https://www.christianpost.com/news/joni-eareckson-tada-not-shaken-by-breast-cancer.html ),   I ,personally could relate to her feeling because I had been through a somewhat similar situation. When I was suddenly diagnosed with brain tumor   at 20  and then it recurred again after 3 years ,resulting in complete loss of balance;  I was like... it's okay ...it happens. Jesus said you will face problems and troubles in life
