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, pri...

The Fight of Faith

1Timothy 6:12 “Fight the good fight of faith”      This counsel to Timothy (also to us) by St. Paul’s made me think deep. If he had told him ‘keep the faith’ I would have not pondered much, but why did he tell him to ‘fight a good fight of faith?’ I know for a fact that it doesn’t just mean to remain faithful; there is some mystery about faith hidden in these words. The very word ‘fight’, as you know, doesn’t sound pleasant; it is opposite to peace and happiness. Then why are we asked to fight? Let’s discover      We know from the scripture that this is a fight of faith or faith’s fight. Okay wait, I thought faith was just believing that Jesus came and died for us? When I believe it already, why do I have to fight? Does holding on to faith require strenuous efforts? These questions are prone to occur. Let’s dig in        What are we to fight against? It is undoubtedly, Unbelief. Why is this so important? – Unbelief leads to a strin...

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. Immedia...
