Give Thanks To Him

   
   Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
   his love endures forever.  Let the redeemed of the LORD tell their story
   those he redeemed from the hand of the foe,
   those he gathered from the lands,
   from east and west, from north and south. - Psalm 107:1-3

Feeling thankful for what God has done in your life? I don't know about you, but me, I always give thanks to God whenever I remember all the good things he made in my life and the people around me. I am very glad that I met God and made personal relationship with Him, that He found me several years ago, that He made me what I am today. I simply thank God for being my Lord and Savior.

Ephesians 5:20 tells us, "At all times and for everything giving thanks in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God the Father."  At all times and for everything, it means to me that we must give thanks to God in every situation we have no matter how great nor worst the it is. One question we can consider asking ourselves is, How do we express our thanks to God? By words or by actions? Action speaks louder than voice they say.

Let the redeemed of the LORD tell their story, those he redeemed from the hand of the foe. - Psalms 107:2. I think one of the best ways we can express our thankfulness to God is by telling people our story. Not our personal story but the story of how God works in our life, how wonderful God is and how He saved us and that they can also have the same God in their life. By doing this I am sure we are also putting smile on God's face.

May you continue to have and develop a thankful heart toward God. A heart that will never fail to acknowledge God's goodness in every way. 


Psalm 107:31
Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind.

God loves us

"God loves us!"

He just really loves us and there is nothing we can do for Him to love us less or love us more. His Love for us is so massive that our mind would never be able to comprehend. So much love that He was so much willing to lay down His life for us. 1 John 3:16 says: "This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us..."

I am very happy to hear when people are saying they realize how wonderful God's love is. My friend told me that God never failed to show His mercy and love to those individuals who even do not acknowledge God, how much more to those who do!

Though our feelings come and go, God's love does not!

I pray that we would continue enjoy God's love, stay in His love. That we endure whatever tests or trials we encounter in our walk. And that we continue to love God, His creation and His people until we see Him face to face.

Back Again

Finally after more than two months I am able find time again to write this post. How I wish I was busy doing things for the church but it was job related issue. I really missed updating this blog, writing post about the faith we share, about the Christ we are living for, about the love that God has been showing us. I hope that I will still be able to write further. I really missed this. GOD BLESS EVERYONE!

Do Not Worry.

Coping with our challenging life situations depends not on our own wisdom or ingenuity. It depends on out willingness to release them to a loving and sufficient God, seeking His face to sustain us.

All of us like to feel that we have control. If you express anxiety or fear to your friend most of the time the response is, "Don't worry, it will work out all right." It means that everywhere we turn we are always told not to worry.

Don't worry because when you worry Bobby McFerrin says, "In your life expext some trouble. When you worry you make it double. Don't worry be happy."

What worries or concerns cause you to feel stress, anxiety or fear?

Forgiveness

Two months or so ago, one of my friends forwarded me a text message. It was a simple text message about a son who asks his father what forgiveness is. You might have received or read this message before and it goes something like this.

A little boy asked his father...

Boy: Father, what is forgiveness?

Then father smiled and looked straightly to his son's eyes.

Father: Son, it may not be the exact meaning of forgiveness that I can give. But I can say that forgiveness is like the fragrance given by the flowers when they are crushed.

Easter

This is the day when our saviour fulfilled his task. That was to save his people from the fire of hell. This was a great victory for all of us as God gave up his life to have us redeemed and shared the life with Him the way he intended it to be in the beginning. sad to say most people do not really understand the true meaning of this, it maybe because of ignorance but this is not a valid excuse. I pray that someday all of the people especially Christians would know and understand the message of christ's death, the message of love, the message of salvation, the message of reconcilliation, the message of being together again, of forgiveness, of acceptance, of peace, of victory and of harmony.

God Bless You, and may you continue to live in the presence of God, with God in your heart and in everything you do in life!

Relationship With God

Being a Christian is not about keeping rules ang regulations, doing rituals or even going to church every week, but it is about entering a relationship with the one, living and true God. And becoming a Christian is by entering that relationship.

God made us himself and He created us to know and live for Him.

The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else. From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. 'For in him we live and move and have our being.' As some of your own poets have said, 'We are his offspring.' - Acts 17:24-28
