In His Time

 Yesterday I happened to send a Bible verse, which I found on Youtube post, to my sister and that's the reason I'm writing this post today.

This is what happened: 

    My sister was unable to sleep last night and so she got up to pray. She sat on her bed and started talking with Jesus. She told him how she felt about certain things in life; things Jesus had promised to give her a breakthrough, and how she felt when nothing of that sort was happening. After a few moments, she felt like praying for a friend who was facing troubles in marital life and was at the end of the rope; totally shattered not able to pray. This burdened her a lot and she looked at Jesus and said, "In all my life, at some point in time, at least for once I would've obeyed You and walked according to how You had directed me. For the sake of that act of obedience please grant me an answer for this prayer" She felt the Lord smile at her child-like request and God put an answer in her heart. She sensed Jesus saying in her spirit  "Whatever you have been praying for your friend, I have heard it and I will fulfill your request in this month" joyfully thanking the Lord she lay down. The strange voices in her head told her that it was all her imagination and God never spoke anything, feeling let down by the voice inside her head she opened her WhatsApp that night after her prayer.

    Earlier that day I came across a Bible verse, which was a promise verse for this month given by a channel I follow on Youtube and wanted to send it to my sister so I saved it. It slipped my mind to send it to her. I had some work that day which kept me up till 1a.m. and suddenly I realized that I hadn't sent her the verse. I sent her the verse, a few moments before she checked her Whatsapp.


    This verse jostled her. This was very similar to the words that Jesus put in her heart and now God was confirming to her that it was truly He who spoke with her. 

    Now if I had sent it to her right off when I saw the post, it wouldn't have had this impact. God had planned this earlier because He knew doubts would arise in her mind and held me up till 1a.m. to send this to her at the right moment.

    This might be a very simple incident but what blows my mind is God's timing. If He can put so much effort and attention to help the verse reach her at the right time and speak to her through it, imagine how marvelous it would be if only we wait for all things to unfurl in His time. How much more focused would He be to help us receive the right thing at the right time. Only when things happen in His time will it give us perfect happiness, joy and it will surely leave us in awe and wonder at the work of His hands.

Whatever you are going through, hold on. He makes all things beautiful in His time :)

What Hope do we have in Christ?

Image
     "If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men" (1Cor15:19) But Christ has risen indeed from the dead and we have hope not only for this life but for eternal life. "We have hope not only for this life but for eternal life" I hear some saying, "make merry for we live once and die". Now my dear friend, if that was the truth I would definitely join with you to live my life as I please and enjoy it to the fullest without paying heed to God (since my life ends when I die). But the truth is different, there is an eternal life waiting for us, that is what the Bible tells me, and I believe that it is the truth. Since I know there's an eternal life , tell me which is wise choice to make; soil my soul in this world and lose eternal life or to carefully guard it clinging on to Christ and win eternal life?  This life that we are living; with all its troubles, sickness and sorrows, is just a passing cloud which cannot stan

Lovingly Wounded by God

 Lovingly Wounded by God Little did I know the value of pain, disappointments, setbacks, and trouble. Who can ever imagine a loving God allowing all of this in the lives of His dear ones? I spent most of my life pulling a long face at God, not to mention complaining, when faced with disappointments and pain. What troubled me was the discord between being faithful to God and suffering.  The hidden pain Honestly, like most of you, I stepped into the God frame thinking everything is going to turn around for good being around God. As I dug the scripture, that is the first lesson I had to unlearn. The Bible is full of promises of suffering. It doesn't leave you confused about why you need to suffer pain and trouble. I am going to talk you through the things I unlearned and had to relearn to maintain a Godly peace in the wretched world. CAUGHT IN THE COBWEB Yeah, we are all caught in the cobweb of this disastrous world. The world dumps its dreams, ambition, success, development, pride, p

A Journal Entry

July 28,2018.      Yesterday while returning from college something happened which radiated light to some grey areas in my mind.    Munching samosas my friend and I were waiting at the railway station. After having eaten it we were engaged in a conversation while I had this sudden urge looking at a plethora of biscuits displayed in the nearby shop, to get one. When I told this to my friend she gave me a disagreeing look because she knew me as a person who does not buy everything I see. Reminding her that I had already got a packet of wafers inside my bag but still want to get those biscuits, I strode to the shop and bought them. It was an impulsive act I should say. Sitting on the stone bench I was gazing aimlessly while something caught the corner of my eye. I saw a man unkempt and shabbily dressed rummaging the trash bin . I turned to take a clear picture of what he was doing and found that he kept moving from one bin to another searching for food. Immediately I looked at my bisc
