I need instant results!!!

Recently, someone I know, was commenting on how he's been going to the gym for a couple of weeks to lose weight, and how its hardly made a dent in his weighing scale readings, I mean the guy is trying all he can , trying to eat right and avoid certain foods , working out regularly , doing all the right things possible and still not seeing the ' expected' results, so he is indeed frustrated, and is now even thinking of throwing in the towel and going back to his old ways, frustration reigns and its just human nature , from his point of view he is correct , if pain does not result in gain , then whats the point ? I NEED TO SEE RESULTS , AND THAT TOO ,WITHOUT MUCH OR NO DELAY !!!

We live in an ' instant result' world , I mean look around you at the grocery store, hundreds of ' instant products' , go to a pharmacy and you see a lot of ' instant weight loss' , and 'instant energy' products , its all intended to seduce our brain with the ' instant result ' punchline and we love it, I mean who likes to wait ? patience is not in vogue .

The above can be compared to our Christian life, we need certain prayers to be answered by God, and we do all the good and right things , we pray constantly, go to Church fellowships, fast twice a week , get rid off bad habits etc and do all that, but still there is no answer from God, absolutely nothing , no results, then the negative thinking creeps in " Am I being heard ? " , " Maybe Im not good enough " , " Im cursed, and God just will not listen " , "Look at Mariamma next door, hardly prays or goes to Church, but she won the lottery, how unfair is that? " , so on and so forth, until one fine day the towel is thrown into the ring and we give up and go back to the old ways , why? because no instant result is seen.

Friends , The negative thoughts mentioned above are the weapons of Satan , do not give in to it, its just a cheap trick , we are sons and daughters of the Living God and we just dont fall for cheap stuff , those thoughts are just wrong, Our God is a God who listens to the prayers of His children, all the promises of the Bible are true , we just have to live in faith, I know its easy to say this , but it is true, Faith is seeing without believing and prayers will be answered, there is no doubt about it, its just that God answers prayers in His time , not ours, so lets not wait for ' instant results' that have been programmed in our brain, but rather wait for God's results, they are the best and it WILL happen. Prayers have always been answered , so walk in faith, be confident and hold your head high, no matter what others may say , you belong to God and Never Never give up on God. Wake up every morning and say " I have the favor of Jesus with me ' and it will be a great day ! "

God Bless.

A best friend indeed !

I am back for the blog, yeah , and its been a while

Recently I was thinking to myself , who can qualify to be ones best friend(s) ? parents ? spouses ? old classmates? collegues ? who can you approach when you are faced with a truly depressing or sad situation, I mean, people in all their goodness say " I understand" or " Iv been through this " or even " Iv travelled the same road, and know exactly where you are coming from " , but do they ????
Iv said the same things too, to other people and I really meant it , but did I actually know what the other person was going through?? the truth is ' maybe' I thought I did, but ' no' is the right answer.
We come back to the question : who can be your best friend ? who can really understand what you are going through , who can see the actual depth of your sadness, the true burden of your heart? or even better "Who can read Your mind? " , the answer, my friend, is NOT blowin' in the wind, its in the Bible and the name is Jesus Christ, He is the best friend to all , can read Your mind, and see you inside out , " Come to me , all those who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest " words from the Son of God who came to Earth and took a humanly form, suffered humiliation, endured much pain , let down and disowned by friends, and ultimately had to die the most horrible suffocating death - death by hanging on the Cross , suffered every bit, so that He could be the ultimate sacrifice for our sins, just think about it, who would do it ? and He died a human death with every bit of suffering , for You and Me. Today, I have hope , I know I have a God who is also my true best friend , can anything beat that ?

The intention here is not to judge anyones capacity to be your friend, dont get me wrong ,people do make really great friends and Iv seen true friendships that have lasted for years and years, But my point is that human friendship has limitations because its man and not God, so make Jesus Christ your best friend today, and He truly listens.

God Bless You.

Spring !!!!

Its spring, and its still grey, there is no grass, no leaves on trees yet, the wind is still chilly, lumps of hard snow still on the sidewalks, people are still in sweaters and long coats, the convertibles are still not running the road yet, BUT, officially its Spring , and thats all that matters , it does wonders to you , the very thought.

Thank you Lord, for the Spring that 'springs' up after every winter , Trust in Jesus and He will give you a spring after every winter that you face in your life. isnt it just great! .

To all that are depressed,lonely,sad,facing a wall...., be of good cheer, commit your life to Jesus and see the difference, it really works, believe me.

You came from Heaven to the Earth to show the way,..... from the Earth to the Cross my debt to pay,.... From the Cross to the grave,.... from the grave to the sky...... Lord I lift your name on high !!!

A message of love

.... for all non Christians, Atheists and Agnostics , try Jesus Christ and you will see the power and grace of the living God , Christianity is not about religion, church denominations, baptisms or anything complicated , Jesus wants you to come as you are , its a simple start - invite Jesus to be your personal saviour and friend, and he will truly change your life, dont expect fireworks , thunder, gushing winds or anything dramatic , He simply works on your heart, slowly but surely with His grace, gentle, as we are all precious to Him. Try it and you will feel the grace and power that comes from the Living God, who sent his own Son to Earth to suffer and die for us so that we may be saved , and He is alive.

I was saved by his amazing grace , I still do have the usual problems and issues that are a part of every human life, there is no escape from that, Jesus never promised a smooth trouble free life , but, I know I have Jesus who gives me the wisdom and strength to overcome the daily issues that I face like fear,tension,insecurity, worldly thoughts and other human traits , but I have faith, out of faith comes trust and out of trust comes strength.

I have heard amazing testimonies of many who have come to Christ from other religions, cults ,other so called Christian deniminations , and I am simply amazed , they have all faced impossible situations with hopelessness ,dejection was a part of their everyday life , idols never answered their prayers , but somehow they found out about Jesus, they believed and accepted Him and He opened new ways for them and answered their prayers, remember He is the God of impossible situations, there is nothing that is not possible for Jesus.

Lord, I can sing of your love forever.

God is Great and greatly to be Praised !!!!!!

God is truly great , Jesus is my comfortor, my deliverer, my rock of salvation, my hiding place in times of trouble, my strength in whom I will trust , my counsellor , my provider, Jehovah Jirah, The lion of Judah.

Your love is amazing my Lord !!! What is man that you care for him , you love him because you are the only true and living God and in your infinite love and grace you care for him , You love me and You call me by name O Lord , You have known me even when I was in my mother's womb , You sent Your Son , Jesus to suffer immensly and die on the cross for me so that I have a chance for salvation and forgiveness of sins. Lord, I worship You and Prasie You with all my heart and soul.

It is my desire to honor You,.. Lord with all my heart I worship You,.. with all I have within me , I give you prasie,.. Lord all that I adore, is in you,.. Lord I give you my heart, give you my soul,.. I live for you alone,.. every breath that I take ,.. every moment Im awake,.. Lord have your way in me.
