  I recently happen to come across the testimony of  Joni Eareckson Tada,  an American Christian Evangelist  minister,  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;  ministering to people worldwide from her wheelchair, starting organisations to accelerate Christian ministry in the disability community,  suddenly at age of 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...

     Matthew 8:23-27,Luke 8:22-25,Mark 4:35-41 t eaches us many things but the two main things that I underlined and re-underlined  were; a) Jesus was with the disciples, in the boat, when the storm hit! And b) Jesus was asleep!                 I remember one of the young kids in my church had send a forwarded message to my sister,many years back, when our family was going through some unexpected and sudden storms stating; ‘Having   Jesus IN YOUR BOAT   does not mean your boat wont go through   storms, it simply means your boat WILL   NOT sink’!                 True! Jesus was with the disciples, in the boat , but still the boat went through a storm! Their boat tossed and tumbled   in the raging waves. The disciples,though the bible doesn’t mention a number ,we know atleast four out of twelve were fishermen. So i...

John 11:5, 6-"   Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.   SO  when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days  .."   The word that caught my attention in this verse was   "SO".... SO when he heard about Lazarus he stayed back for 2 more days!! Why did Jesus do that? Why didn't Jesus run to them? Why did  he choose to stay back ? Why didn't he act immediately?     I mean h e could have easily healed Lazarus on time and could have spared the sorrow and pain that Martha and Mary went through, only just if he had not delayed, just if he had been there on time!  But he chose to stay back!   Also he didn't even have to go there,he could have just commanded. WHY would he do that? If he loved them very much, why would he stay back and not come to their rescue,especially when they needed him the most. Even Martha is seen here asking Jesus in  John 11:21 - “Lord,” Martha said to Jesus...
