The Best Is Yet To Come

Yet again we have come to the end of a year. To me this year was a year of surprises. This was a year where we witnessed a lot of incidents that surprised us, like the election result for the race of American President, the step taken by the Indian Government to go cashless and propagate digital economy by announcing demonetization, and a slew of other incidents to name a few.

But this not what I want to share with my readers. I would like to bring your attention another issue. We all know that every businesses or company albeit big or small do a year ending auditing or at the end of their financial year assess their balance sheets to know if the firm was running in profit or loss. Likewise, I'd like to pose a question to all my beloved readers.

How was the past year for you? Was it a year of loss or one of profit?

One thing I'm sure about is that regardless of us recalling our profits or not we will definitely recall our losses. The things that we hoped for, prayed for but did not happen as we expected. But remember you cannot define them as your loss. You are really blessed beyond your imaginations. Never forget to thank God and love Him more when-when He does miracles in our life. Nowadays many of us lose a thankful heart and forget to be grateful for what we have because remember that the people we might think are the luckiest might be really struggling with something we might not know of. Trust me, everything that happens in our life is for a reason. We may not understand it now, but we will surely understand them on one day.

The Bible says, “Everything works together for good for those who love God”.

As humans, we might have a lot of questions when we go through struggles in our life. But the truth is we only see our present situations - our present struggles, our present frustrations and our present failures. We don’t know what tomorrow holds. We stay awake at nights by thinking how we will overcome this situation which makes us hopeless and scared to face our tomorrows. But this is where the Bible gives you hope.


In the book of Jeremiah 29:11(NIV) the Bible says,


“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

“When fear knocks, let our faith answer.”

God gives us tests in our life not to destroy us but to promote us. One of the funny facts is that many people have some knowledge about God but don’t have enough faith in Him. Remember if everything that human-made in this world has an expiry date then surely God has also set an expiry date for what you’re going through right now. For now, we may be a question to many people but believe and have faith in God, He will surely turn us into an answer to many.

Our loving God won’t let us down.

So rather than complaining about what we don’t have let us thank God for the things that we have. Remember many people who entered this year has not made it to the end of this year. God has kept us all safe for the past one year because He is faithful, even when we failed Him. So take a moment to thank God.

When trouble comes knocking down your door do not run from God, but run to Him. Surely He will deliver you from all your present troubles.


Thank You for spending your valuable time in reading my humble post.
I'm also taking this opportunity to thank all my readers for your endless love and support for the past few years.

Also wishing all my readers a very happy and prosperous new year in advance. :)

May God Keep You All Safe.

Stay Blessed.

God Bless You

One Solitary Life

Dr James Allan Francis wrote One Solitary Life during the early 1900s. This description of the life and impact of Jesus Christ has become one of the most quoted and beloved pieces of Christian literature since that time. So I would like to share here for my readers too.,

"*He was born in an obscure village, the child of a peasant woman.

*Until He was thirty, He worked in a carpenter shop and then for three years He was an itinerant preacher.

*He wrote no books.

*He held no office.

*He never owned a home.

*He was never in a big city. 

*He never travelled two hundred miles from the place He was born.

*He never did any of the things that usually accompany greatness.

*The authorities condemned His teachings.

*His friends deserted Him.

*One betrayed Him to His enemies for a paltry sum.

*One denied Him.

*He went through the mockery of a trial.

*He was nailed on a cross between two thieves.

*While He was dying, His executioners gambled for the only piece of property He owned on earth: His coat.

*When He was dead He was taken down and placed in a borrowed grave.

*Nineteen centuries have come and gone, yet today He is the crowning glory of the human race, the adored leader of hundreds of millions of the earth’s inhabitants.

*All the armies that ever marched and all the navies that were ever assembled and all the parliaments that ever sat and all the rulers that ever reigned—combined—have not affected the life of man upon this earth so profoundly as that One Solitary Life."

PEACE

PEACE

As we are nearing to the end of an another year I think it's time to reflect on its happenings. This year bore witness to one of the most tragic terrorist attacks that we have ever witnessed in Europe.  The ISIS attack in Paris was a shocker for people around the world. People are valuing animal life more than that of humans and the brutality is for all to see. Anyway may God change their evil hearts & evil desires. It’s blunt a truth that terrorist attacks becomes a common news in everyday media. Every one around the world lives in a fear of what might happen next. No one can guarantee a safety in this world now.

As someone said, “We know the value of a thing only when we have  lost it”. I think “PEACE” is something like that now. It has  become a dream or something increasingly impossible to achieve.

It is easy to quarrel and turn against each other, but it is not that easy to maintain “PEACE” and  LOVE with everyone. For maintaining “PEACE” we must need ‘PATIENCE’.

 

Before I talk about the topic I would like you to read the following story…

 

-

-

There once was a king who offered a prize to the artist who would paint the best picture of peace. Many artists tried. The king looked at all the pictures. But there were only two he really liked, and he had to choose between them.

One picture was of a calm lake. The lake was a perfect mirror for peaceful towering mountains all around it. Overhead was a blue sky with fluffy white clouds. All who saw this picture thought that it was a perfect picture of peace.

The other picture had mountains, too. But these were rugged and bare. Above was an angry sky, from which rain fell and in which lightning played. Down the side of the mountain tumbled a foaming waterfall. This did not look peaceful at all.

But when the king looked closely, he saw behind the waterfall a tiny bush growing in a crack in the rock. In the bush a mother bird had built her nest. There, in the midst of the rush of angry water, sat the mother bird on her nest – in perfect peace.

Which picture do you think won the prize?

The king chose the second picture.

Do you know why?

 

 

“Because,” explained the king, “peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. PEACE means ,one can be in the midst of all those things and still be calm in one's heart. That is the real meaning of PEACE.”

-

-

“PEACE” always begins with God.

It is not something that we can create ourselves.  If you can sleep at night peacefully,you are far more blessed than you think. Many  believe that PEACE can be bought if they gain a huge amount of money. But truth is, the only thing world cannot buy with the power of money is PEACE. So that is why I clearly mentioned above that PEACE begins with God.

Remaining in PEACE doesn’t mean that you are problem free. It means that when things around you doesn’t make sense,  you believe the best is yet to come & everything will work for your good.

 

According to the Bible, Jesus clearly said about “PEACE” in John 16:33..

“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

This is one of the greatest assurances  Christians have  got. This is what makes Christians stronger to face their challenge ahead, no matter what it will be.

So may God help you to find "PEACE" in Him.

REMEMBER THAT :-

“True peace is not the absence of war or trouble; it is the presence of God.”

EXPECTATIONS

EXPECTATIONS

It's a sad truth that when we take a look around, we find everyone busy with their own life. Nobody has time to take a break from their busy schedules & get to know others or what they are going through. Everyone's in a race to conquer more of this world before time runs out and focus only on their life & it's problems.
Before proceeding I would like you to read a beautiful story given below..

Once upon a time a very strong woodcutter asked a timber merchant for a job, and he got it. The pay was really good and so were the work conditions and for that reason, the woodcutter was determined to do his best.
His boss gave him an axe and showed him the area where he was to work and the first day, the woodcutter cut down 18 trees.
'Congratulations,' the boss said. 'Go on that way!'
Motivated by the boss's words, the woodcutter tried harder the next day, but he could only cut down 15 trees. The third day he tried even harder, but he could only cut down 10 trees. Day after day he was cutting less and less trees.
'I must be losing my strength,' the woodcutter thought. He went to the boss and apologised, saying that he could not understand what was going on.
'When was the last time you sharpened your axe?' the boss asked.'Sharpen! I had no time to sharpen my axe. I have been very busy trying to cut down trees . . . '

This is what actually happens in a relationship. It takes time to sharpen it. Many people believe that a life with their family is enough and that having a healthy relationship with friends or other relatives would amount to unnecessary complications in their busy life.

Have you ever thought about when a relationship becomes 

complicated or struggles??

The answer is.. EXPECTATION.


When our expectation fails we become disappointed & lose ourselves over that particular relationship by not giving it the importance it needs. So when we are in relationships EXPECTATION won't bring any happiness but SPENDING TIME & UNDERSTANDING one another does.

So don't try to rush things that needs TIME to grow & Don't ever expect anything from your loved ones. Coz once if they don't treat you the way you expect them to, you will be hurt and disappointment will take over you.

ATTITUDE

Attitude

It is always easy to give up on life when its struggles weigh down on us. To not give up on life is the real challenge that we face. In order to survive we must have a stubborn mindset of not giving up easily. If anyone told you that there is a life free of problems, it's really a lie.

Before explaining today's topic read the beautiful story given below -

There was a man taking a morning walk at the beach. He saw that along with the morning tide came hundreds of starfish and when the tide receded, they were left behind and with the morning sun rays, they would die. The tide was fresh and the starfish were alive. The man took a few steps, picked one and threw it into the water. He did that repeatedly. Right behind him there was another person who couldn’t understand what this man was doing. He caught up with him and asked, “What are you doing? There are hundreds of starfish. How many can you help? What difference does it make?”
This man did not reply, took two more steps, picked up another one, threw it into the water, and said, “It makes a difference to this one.”Whatever difference are we making? Big or small, it does not matter. If everyone made a small difference, we’d end up with a big difference, wouldn’t we?

In the Bible every character who was chosen & were called out by God had faced many struggles. But all of them remain faithful to God in all walks of their life, that lead them to achieve greater heights. And in all the only surety is that problems, trials, troubles, and the testing of your Faith can either strengthen your resolve or wear you down - it all depends on your attitude.

If you see your problem as stepping - stones to something greater, then you can move ahead with anticipation for what you will become-a person of strong character who can handle any obstacle. God promises that suffering can help you grow if you let him work in you. Struggles and pressures will try to drag you down all through your life. But remember that a life with God will always be a successful one.
Thank You so much for spending your valuable time reading this humble post. Hope it was a blessing.

God Bless You smile emoticon

PARENTS

In this post I would like to share with you a serious social issue that is plaguing our society. It is about the increasing number of OLD AGE HOMES.

Now a days many old age homes are being built in our locality. We all know the reasons behind this. Before I share my opinion on this issue I would like you to read a story which I can't keep from sharing .

A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it every day. He climbed to the treetop,ate the apples, and took a nap under the shadow. He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.Time went by, the little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree every day.
One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked said.
“Come and play with me”, the tree asked the boy.
Boy: “I am no longer a kid, I do not play around trees anymore” the boy replied. “I want toys. I need money to buy them.”
Tree: “Sorry, but I do not have money, but you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money.
”The boy was so excited. He grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy never came back after he picked the apples. The tree was sad. One day, the boy who now turned into a man returned and the tree was excited.“Come and play with me” the tree said.
“I do not have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help me?”
“Sorry, but I do not have any house. But you can chop off my branches to build your house.” So the man cut all the branches of the tree and left happily.The tree was glad to see him happy but the man never came back since then. The tree was again lonely and sad. One hot summer day, the man returned and the tree was delighted.
“Come and play with me!” the tree said.
“I am getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?” said the man.
“Use my trunk to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy.”So the man cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time. Finally, the man returned after many years.“Sorry, my boy. But I do not have anything for you anymore. No more apples for you”, the tree said.
“No problem, I do not have any teeth to bite” the man replied.
Tree : “No more trunk for you to climb on.”
“I am too old for that now” the mansaid.
“I really cannot give you anything, the only thing left is my dying roots,” the tree said with tears.
“I do not need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years,” the man replied.
“Good! Old tree roots are the best place to lean on and rest, come sit down with me and rest.” The man sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears.

This is a story we all can relate to. The tree is like our parents. When we were young, we loved to spend our time with our Mom and Dad. When we grew up, we left them only coming back when we need something or when we are in trouble. No matter what happened, parents will always be there and give everything they can to make us happy. They always give the best of their life to their children. You may think the boy is cruel to the tree, but this is how most of us treat our parents.

We take them for granted; we don’t appreciate all they do for us, until it’s too late.

Treat your parents with love and care…. Enjoy each moment with them. For you will know their value, when you see their empty chair.

If you're not paying much attention & sparing time to spend with your parents , your children who look up to you will follow ditto. 

We will understand the love our parents had for us only when we become parents.

Thank You for spending your valuable time in reading this humble article.

The Real Meaning Of Christmas

The Real Meaning Of Christmas

By God's Grace, we are coming to the end of another year. Surely each and every one of us have experienced many new moments of life be it good or bad, this past one year. Regardless, everyone is now looking forward to getting ready for a happy Christmas Season. Every child around the world is waiting for Christmas Day with excitement and expectation. Much of the reason behind this excitement can be attributed to none other than the Christmas present. When they think about Christmas, the first picture that comes to their mind is about the Christmas Present, followed by Santa Clause or family gatherings and awesome food.

Is this all that there is to Christmas?



Is this the real meaning of Christmas?????

No. Never. It is far beyond that. Christmas is all about Jesus Christ who came to this world as a human to show the love of God for this lost world. At the end, He showed the Love of God at the Cross bearing all our sins. When we were lost and rejected, His love came & found us, which is everlasting.
The Bible tells, "For God So Loved the world that He gave His one and only son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."(John 3:16)

When we celebrate Christmas, are we focusing only on our happiness?

Just look around at your surroundings. You can find men, women and children who are starving without the basic human need of a single meal a day or a roof above their heads. They are humans like us whose circumstances forced them to face their predicament. Then why can’t we feed them for a moment? If we fail to do so, it shows our selfishness. Remember Jesus was born not for a particular society or people, but for the whole humanity. So more than self-happiness let’s make this Christmas be special for someone who is expecting a caring hand from each one of us. Let them Praise God through each one of us. Just think about the smile of a child when he gets what he need. This is the real meaning of Christmas. A heart that loves and cares for others. 



May this Christmas become a turning point in your life.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. 

Let’s make this Christmas more bright. Thank You for spending your valuable time for reading this..



God Bless You. :)

HELPING MENTALITY

Do you have a helping mentality towards people??
                     OR
Are you a selfish person concentrating only on your achievements??

Before you answer the question kindly read the story given below.. Personally this story touched me. Hope it speaks to you too..

At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves children with learning disabilities, the father of one of the students delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by all who attended.

After extolling the school and its dedicated staff, he offered a question:

'When not interfered with by outside influences, everything nature does, is done with perfection.

Yet my son, Shay, cannot learn things as other children do. He cannot understand things as other children do.

Where is the natural order of things in my son?'

The audience was stilled by the query.

The father continued. 'I believe that when a child like Shay, who was mentally and physically disabled comes into the world, an opportunity to realize true human nature presents itself, and it comes in the way other people treat that child.'

Then he told the following story:

Shay and I had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball. Shay asked, 'Do you think they'll let me play?' I knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but as a father I also understood that if my son were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence to be accepted by others in spite of his handicaps.

I approached one of the boys on the field and asked (not expecting much) if Shay could play. The boy looked around for guidance and said, 'We're losing by six runs and the game is in the eighth inning. I guess he can be on our team and we'll try to put him in to bat in the ninth inning.'

Shay struggled over to the team's bench and, with a broad smile, put on a team shirt. I watched with a small tear in my eye and warmth in my heart. The boys saw my joy at my son being accepted.

In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay's team scored a few runs but was still behind by three.

In the top of the ninth inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the right field. Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously ecstatic just to be in the game and on the field, grinning from ear to ear as I waved to him from the stands.

In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shay's team scored again.

Now, with two outs and the bases loaded, the potential winning run was on base and Shay was scheduled to be next at bat.

At this juncture, do they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game?

Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was all but impossible because Shay didn't even know how to hold the bat properly, much less connect with the ball.

However, as Shay stepped up to the

plate, the pitcher, recognizing that the other team was putting winning aside for this moment in Shay's life, moved in a few steps to lob the ball in softly so Shay could at least make contact.

The first pitch came and Shay swung clumsily and missed.

The pitcher again took a few steps forward to toss the ball softly towards Shay.

As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.

The game would now be over.

The pitcher picked up the soft grounder and could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman.

Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game.

Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the first baseman's head, out of reach of all team mates.

Everyone from the stands and both teams started yelling, 'Shay, run to first!

Run to first!'

Never in his life had Shay ever run that far, but he made it to first base.

He scampered down the baseline, wide-eyed and startled.

Everyone yelled, 'Run to second, run to second!'

Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second, gleaming and struggling to make it to the base.

B y the time Shay rounded towards second base, the right fielder had the ball . the smallest guy on their team who now had his first chance to be the hero for his team.

He could have thrown the ball to the second-baseman for the tag, but he understood the pitcher's intentions so he, too, intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third-baseman's head.

Shay ran toward third base deliriously as the runners ahead of him circled the bases toward home.
All were screaming, 'Shay, Shay, Shay, all the Way Shay'

Shay reached third base because the opposing shortstop ran to help him by turning him in the direction of third base, and shouted, 'Run to third!

Shay, run to third!'

As Shay rounded third, the boys from both teams, and the spectators, were on their feet screaming, 'Shay, run home! Run home!'

Shay ran to home, stepped on the plate, and was cheered as the hero who hit the grand slam and won the game for his team

'That day', said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face, 'the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world'.

Shay didn't make it to another summer. He died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making me so happy, and coming home and seeing his Mother tearfully embrace her little hero of the day!

We all have thousands of opportunities every single day to help realize the 'natural order of things.'

Do we pass along a little spark of love and humanity or do we pass up those opportunities and leave the world a little bit colder in the process?? 

THE CHOICE IS YOURS..

Thanks for spending your.valuable time for reading. Be a blessing to many.

God Bless You :)

PRAYER

Are you get bored of praying??
Or asking yourself - is PRAYER an important thing??

Do you actually know what PRAYER means??

Anyway it's a truth that we all pray at some circumstances of our life.

From my point of view, prayer is keeping a relationship with GOD - your creator. 

Having a daily prayer relationship with God is like having a daily  relationship with our parents. If worldly parents cares for us... What about God - our creator??
The style of Prayer differ when situations changes. Mostly we only pray to God in our failures, disappointments & so on. But we failed to pray in our achievements, joyful moments, forgetting to thank God.

PRAYER MUST BE OUR DAILY ROUTINE.
PRAYER REALLY WORKS.

Don't pray only for yourself. But pray for others. When you pray for others God will bless you along with them.


Just watch little kids to see how they pray. If we notice, we can find that how sincerely they're praying to God. Feel Like someone is near to them listening with ears wide open. But when we watch an adult, we can find that he is praying very fast trying to stop the prayer as soon as possible.

PLEASE NEVER DO THAT. 

When life gets harder and larger– so must your prayer life!!

Pray to God to give wisdom & strength to face each days struggles & to overcome them. Before you do anything pray to  God in order to know his Will & to get his guidelines.

SEEK GOD FIRST, NOT AT LAST.

When at night you cannot sleep, talk to the Shepherd, God.  And stop counting sheep.

"We have to pray with our eyes on God, not on the difficulties." ~ Oswald Chambers

REMEMBER THIS - God always answers our prayers, but sometimes the answer is No.God most definitely listens to prayers, answers prayers, and moves in response to prayers.

Thanks for spending your valuable time for reading.

Hope you enjoyed reading.

Share it.

May God help you to lead a victorious PRAYER life

God Bless You :)

FAITH

FAITH
A Beautiful Message Explaining Life completely True.. Couldn't stop myself from sharing it with all of you...

Arthur Ashe, The Legendary Wimbledon Player was dying of AIDS which he had contracted from Infected Blood which he had received during a Heart Surgery in 1983..!
He received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed:
"Why did God have to select you for such a bad disease??"
To this Arthur Ashe replied:
50 Million children started playing Tennis,
5 Million learnt to play Tennis,
5,00,000 learnt Professional Tennis,
50,000 came to Circuit,
5,000 reached Grandslam,
50 reached Wimbledon,
4 to the Semifinals,
2 to the Finals &
When I was Holding the Cup in my Hands, I never asked God "Why Me?" So now in Pain how can I ask God "Why Me?"
Happiness keeps you Sweet!!
Trials keeps you Strong!!
Sorrows keep you Human!!
Failure keeps you Humble!!
Success keeps you Glowing!!
But only,
Faith keeps you Going!!
So have Hope in Heart & Faith in God, & never think "Why Me..?"

Our faith is tested not at the peak of our happy moments but in the valley of our disappointments. Faith in God helps us to see the joyful moments coming ahead even in our deepest sorrows.

Remember - Little trials without God will break you. Big trials with God will make you.

May you always find strength in God's love and faithfulness.
Thank you for spending your valuable time in reading this. Hope it has touched you in someway.

EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON

Everything Happens for a reason

There are many happenings in one's life that don't make any sense. We may end up asking God why He allows this? Why am I the only one going through this ordeal?
We may get depressed on the  see the peace and happiness that we don't have in people around us. And ask ourselves Why is this happening to me alone??

Read the story given below which is similar to our life..
There was a little boy who lived in a village, his mother used to embroider a great deal. He  would sit at her knee and look up from the floor and ask what she was doing. She informed  him that she was embroidering. The boy told her that it looked like a mess from where he was. As from the underside, He watched her work within the boundaries of the little round hoop that she held in her hand, He complained to her that it sure looked messy from where he sat.
She would smile at him, look down and gently say, “My son, you go about your playing for a while, and when I am finished with my embroidering, I will put you on my knee and let you see it from my side.”
He would wonder why she was using some dark threads along with the bright ones and why they seemed so jumbled from his view. A few minutes would pass and then the boy would hear Mother’s voice say, “Son, come and sit on my knee.” This He did, only to be surprised and thrilled to see a beautiful flower or a sunset. He could not believe it because from underneath it looked so messy. Then Mother would say to him, “My son, from underneath it did look messy and jumbled, but you did not realise that there was a pre-drawn plan on the top. It was a design. I was only following it. Now look at it from my side and you will see what I was doing.”

Many times through the years we have looked up to our Heavenly Father and said, “Father, what are You doing?” He has answered, “I am embroidering your life. ” We say, “But it looks like a mess to me. It seems so jumbled. The threads seem so dark. Why can’t they all be bright?”
The Father seems to tell us, “‘My child, you go about your business of doing My business, and one day I will bring you to Heaven and put you on My knee and you will see the plan from My side."
The truth is that We only always see the other side of our hopeless situation. But God knows the beginning and end. He is just trying to teach us that He is the only person who can be trusted in this world. It is a fact that there is always a situation in our lives where even our close friends may not help us. Even then God works for us.

Always Remember - When everyone rejects us God elects us. In order to show that, You are God's Masterpiece.

So my dear friends, ask God to give strength to face any hopeless situation & wait patiently for God's time. When situations don't make any sense just remember God is up to something to teach you. Everything happens for a reason. You may not understand it now, but God does, and that is all that matters. .

FORGIVENESS

FORGIVENESS

What will you do if a person keeps irritating you even when after you warn him??
                       OR
Will you forgive someone who spreads rumours/gossips  about you??

I know these are very hard situations to withold your anger from them. Before sharing my view Kindly read the following story...

Two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face.

The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand: TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE.

They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him. After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone: TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE.

The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, “After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone, why?” The other friend replied “When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where the winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it.”

Moral of this story -
LEARN TO WRITE YOUR Sorrows IN THE SAND AND TO CARVE YOUR BLESSINGNS IN STONE.

Sometimes we forgive people
who don't deserve forgiveness Only because we still want them in our life. This what exactly God did towards us. He is always slow to anger.

My dear friend, we should be quick to listen and slow to speak or to get angry. Forgiveness plays a very important role in family relationships.

The Bible clearly says,
"Put up with each other, and forgive anyone who does you wrong, just as Christ has forgiven you." - Colossians 3:13.

So let us pray to God to have a forgiving heart. Then only God will showers his blessings upon us.

Thanks for spending your valuable time for reading. Stay Blessed. Keep sharing.

God Bless You :)

FRIENDSHIP

WHO IS A FRIEND?

Who is a friend? We all have acquaintances, faces we recognize ; people we greet by name. Casual friendships happen through continued contact. And close friendships are developed through sharing of interests and spending time together in mutually inclusive activities.

But Intimate friendships are what everyone desires & needs. These are friends that stay with us no matter what. They listen to us & are genuinely interested in what is best for us. A truly good friend will openly correct you. But that's okay because they are interested in our well-being.

Everyone wants the kind of friend that will be there for them no matter what. Who are your friends? Are they just acquaintances, or are they intimate friends?

Sometimes even our friends may let us down, but there is one that is surely gonna be there for us no matter what - God wants to be your friend. When you accept His Friendship you will never be disappointed. God wants us to have good friends, and to be good friends to others. The relationship with God is the best relationship you can ever have. Our friendships should be based on genuine love, care & concern for the other person. A friend is not someone who is with you because of your popularity or wealth. True friends will love you in spite of who you are. This is the kind of friend all of us should have who will both laugh & cry with you, and be there for you in all situations.

A true friend sees the first tear, catches the second, and stops the third. Choose your friends wisely and prayerfully, because a true friend is a friend for life!

Try to fix the broken friendships. Even if you have let someone down, It's not too late to make amends. Ask God to help you have the courage to apologize & try to fix things. He is the best friend you could have, and he can teach you how to be a good friend too!

Remember - If we hold a grudge against someone, the door to God will be closed. It will be absolutely closed, with no way to him. Only if we forgive others will we be forgiven.

SUCCESS OF FAMILY RELATIONSHIP

The family is the most important social structure of any society. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a perfect family. There are, however, principles that, if followed, Will help each family to be all that God intended it to be.

1. LOVE -
If we truly love our family, we would be willing to lay down our lives so that they might live. The true test, however, is if we lay down our rights and demands on others in everyday situations of life. Love is proven not just by words we say, but also by our actions.

2. RESPECT -
Family members must show respect for each other, even when there is disagreement on a particular matter. This is where healthy communication plays an important role.

3. COMMITMENT - 
No matter what happens, commitment is necessary for a family to survive. Many voices in contemporary society that tell us if a marriage is not working, just get out. But this is not the solution. Help can be found through prayer, studying God's Word, and the wise counsel of those who love God.

4. FORGIVENESS -
Unresolved conflicts Will often be reflected later in the relationship you have with your family. Ask forgiveness of those you have offended, and forgive those who have offended you, no matter how deeply you have been hurt. Freedom comes when we learn to forgive others in the same way that God has forgiven us.

Remember - A Family who prays together stays together forever.
