God will answer your Cry .....

God will answer your cry...........

 

Once there was a man, who goes to the doctor due to some problem. He tells the doctor that, his wife is acting being deaf these days, i.e. no matter what this man says she is not replying to any of the things. The doctor says, "I do not have a treatment right now for this problem, I can suggest you something through which you can know her level of deafness then we can start treatment." The doctor says, go home and try calling your wife from 30 feet far and then go little closer and then call her again and go little further and repeat the same. Do this in order to know her level of deafness. The man says, "Ok doctor I will try this out" and left that place. The man goes home. He tells his wife, "Honey what's for dinner?" He does not get any reply. He goes little further and asks the same question. He does this ten times; he was almost near to her. Then for the 10th time she answers him saying, "How many times should I reply saying that today is the special dinner for you." Wow that's sounds so different, That means it was not his wife who was deaf but he himself.  Friends, it is same with Our God. We think that we ask him so many things in prayer many times and Lord is not answering us. But it is the other way around. He always listens to our cry and answers our prayer as our Lord is gracious and merciful but we never realize them. He may give answers to our prayers to us but in different ways. Because he says, my thoughts are not your thoughts and my ways are not your ways. "O people of Zion, who live in Jerusalem, you will weep no more. How gracious he will be when you cry for help! As soon as He hears, He will answer you." Isaiah 30:19

 

The Japanese SchoolBoy

The Japanese Schoolboy

Be strong with the Lord's mighty power (Ephesians 6:10, NLT).

Dear Friends,

A Japanese schoolboy once showed his courage in a way that puts many
of us to shame.

He went to a school in Nagasaki with about 150 other boys, and he was
the only Christian among them all. He brought his lunch to school, as
he lived at a distance. As he began to eat his lunch each day, he
dared to fold his hands to pray and ask a blessing on his food.

The lad had some enemies among the other boys, and they went to the
schoolmaster and accused him of "doing something in the way of magic."
The schoolmaster thereupon called the boy before the school and asked
him what he had been doing.

The little fellow spoke up bravely. He explained that he was a
Christian, and that he had been thanking God and asking Him to bless
the food.

To the boy's surprise, the schoolmaster burst into tears, and put his
head down on the desk. He then looked up.

"My boy," he exclaimed, "I too am a Christian; but I was afraid to
tell anyone. Now, with God's help, I will try to live as a Christian
ought to live."

The courage of that young man had brought conviction to the
schoolmaster, had provided him an example, and had given him a new
boldness.

Astronomers used Australia's largest optical telescope to map 100,000 galaxies that surround our own galaxy, the Milky Way. The 3-dimentional map covers 5 percent of the sky and allows us to see 4 billion light - year deep into space. The number of stars included defies our imagination, but not the knowledge of God. How many amazing to read, "He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by name. Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understand is infinite" (Psalm 147:4-5) Even more amazing, The psalmist's affirmation that God, Who is far greater than the universe He created, cares about our sorrows. Instead of being remote and aloof, He is close at hand with love mercy for His own. "He casts the wicked down to the ground" (Psalm 147:6). Jesus Christ, the creator of the galaxies, visited our planet to pay the penalty for our sin and open the way to friendship and fellowship with Him. Today He stands ready to bring healing and wholeness to our deeply wounded spirits. From naming stars to mending hearts, nothing is too hard for God.

One evening a man took a small candle from a box and began to climb a long winding stairway. "Where are we going?" asked the candle. "We're going up higher than a house to show the ships the way to the harbor." "But no ship in the harbor could ever see my light," the candle said. "It is so very small." "If your light is small," the man said "just keep on burning brightly and leave the rest to me." When they reached the top of the long stairs, they came to a large lamp. Then he took the little candle and lit the lamp. Soon the large polished mirrors behind the lamp sent beams of fight out across the miles of sea. We are God's candle. Our job is to keep on shining. The success of our work is in His hands. A tiny candle or match can start a forest fire. The little flame of your good example can actually change the lives of others without you knowing it. Be a light to them like the beacon light in the story which guided the ships to safe harbor.

 

Wait On The LORD

Wait On The LORD..........



Even in our modern age of conveniences, waiting is still a big part of life. When we think of waiting, what comes to mind? We might conjure up visions of an airport terminal, a doctor's waiting room, the line at the supermarket, or being stuck in rush hour traffic. The facts are, most of us are waiting for something most of the time: Maybe you are in your job situation that's really tough to endure and you are waiting and hoping that conditions will change for the better. Maybe you are without a job and waiting for news on an application. Maybe you are ill (or have a loved one who is) and waiting for your health to improve. Maybe you are on a diet and waiting for your weight to drop a few pounds. A single person may be waiting for Mr. or Miss Right. Or maybe you are waiting for your spouse or child to become interested in spiritual things. The simple fact is, in spite of our modern age and our dislike for waiting, life is full of waiting. And one of the most challenging exhortations of Scripture is "Wait." But waiting, despite our impatience and our dislike for it, is a vital element in life. Indeed, waiting has a number of benefits that we will discuss in this study. When we think of waiting on the Lord for everything, there are a number of important questions that need to be answered and understood in light of the principles and promises of Scripture. Why? Because without these answers, we become like a long-tailed cat scurrying around in a room full of rocking chairs. We become fidgety, fearful, frustrated, anxious, and even angry. However, because the Lord tells us to wait, and since it has some wonderful benefits, we need to know what it means to wait and how that is to be done. Psalm 27:14 Wait on the LORD; Be strong, and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the LORD..... I don't know what you may be going through at the moment, but whatever it is, the challenge of Scripture is to wait on the Lord because, unlike temporal man and the fleeting world in which we live, the sovereign Lord of the universe loves us with a steadfast love and personally cares for us like a father. Isaiah 40:31, But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.

Out Put Of Anger …………

Out Put Of Anger …………

 

In November 1996 Sports Illustrated reported a bizarre story of competitiveness gone too far. According to the magazine, in a New Mexico high school football game between Albuquerque Academy and St. Pius X on October 12, 1996, several of the Academy players found themselves with strange cuts, slashes, and scratches on their arms and hands. One boy was bleeding freely from three cuts that later required ten stitches to close. Another boy told his coaches, "It feels like they've got razor blades out there." Well, almost. Referee Steve Fuller inspected the equipment of the opposing team. What he found on the helmet of the offensive center were two chin-strap buckles sharpened to a razor's edge. In the investigation that followed, the offending player's father, a pediatric dentist, admitted to milling the buckles. He had been angered in the previous game by what he thought was excessive head-slapping against his son by opposing linemen. This was his solution. Sports Illustrated reported, "Several observers describe the father, who was working on the sideline chain gang during the Albuquerque Academy-St. Pius game, as a hothead. He was so vocal in his criticism of the officiating during St. Pius's game against Capital High on Sept. 28 that he was asked to leave the sideline crew." Hatred and anger-they're as ugly and violent as those razor-sharp buckles. Friends, Word of God says to love one another even though they hurt and hate you. It is Gods commandment to love your neighbors as yourself. He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him. 1 John 2:10

Ice cream is good for the soul..........

Ice cream is good for the soul..........

 

Last week I heard a story or a conversation between the father and his six years old child. Six-year-old son asked if he could say grace. As we bowed our heads he said, "God is good. God is great. Thank you for the food, and I would even thank you more if mom gets us ice cream for dessert.  And Liberty and justice for all!  Amen!" Along with the laughter from the other customers nearby I heard a woman remark, "That's what's wrong with this country. Kids today don't even know how to pray. Asking God for ice-cream! Why, I never!" Hearing this, his son burst into tears and asked his father, "Did I do it wrong? Is God mad at me?" He held him and assured him that he had done a terrific job and God was certainly not mad at him, an elderly gentle man approached the table. He winked at that boy and said, "I happen to know that God thought that was a great prayer."  "Really?" my son asked "Cross my heart." Then in theatrical whisper he added (indicating the woman whose remark had started this whole thing), "Too bad she never asks God for  ice cream.  A little ice cream is good for the soul sometimes." Naturally, I bought my kid's ice cream at the end of the meal. That bay stared at her for a moment and then did something that the father will remember the rest of his life. He picked up his sundae and without a word walked over and placed it in front of the woman. With a big smile he told her, Here, this is for you. Ice cream is good for the soul sometimes and my soul is good already." 

Having faith great enough to move mountains………

Having faith great enough to move mountains…………

 

Many years ago there lived a very old man. Before his house stood two tall mountains that kept out the sunlight. He was not happy about this and so he sat down with his sons and all made a solemn promise that they would hack back away those two mountains. A neighbor saw them go out with their hoes and shook his head. "How stupid can you get?" he screamed. "It's absolutely impossible for you to carry away those mighty mountains." The old man only smiled and said: "Well, when I die, my sons will carry on the work. And when they die, my grandsons will continue it. Yes, the mountains are high but they won't get any higher. But our strength can still grow. With every shovel full of earth that we carry away, we come closer to our goal." "It is better to do something than just sit around and complain that those mountains keep out the sunlight." With complete conviction the old man kept right on digging. God saw it and was moved to send two angles to earth. They lifted the two mountains onto their shoulders, and carried them off. In his letter to the Corinthians, Saint Paul talks about having faith great enough to move mountains. [1 Corinthians 13:2].

You will see great things in your life………….

You will see great things in your life………….

 

God has entrusted every person with a measure of gifts, talents, and abilities, He's watching to see what we will do with them. If you are faithful with what God has given you, He will multiply your gifts and increase them in many ways you never dreamt. It's not about how much you have; it is about using what you have. Don't allow excuses to cause you to bury what you have been given. God is not moved by our excuses. He is moved by our faith. So make the decision to wake up every day and look for ways to use what God has placed in your hands. Believe in yourself and believe that God is working on your behalf. It may not happen tomorrow, or next week, but if you will stay in faith, you will grow and increase. Sometimes opportunities come our way and we think, I can't do that, or that's impossible. We make so many excuses that we eventually start living those excuses as if they were the truth and we never even attempt to explore other possibilities. Have you ever heard yourself say, "I can't do that; I am not that talented; I don't have the finances?" If you have, you might need to check for a DO NOT ENTER sign in your own thinking! Keep God's promises in the forefront of your thinking. Have the attitude "I'm going to focus my efforts on being the right kind of person so when God opens that door, I will be ready. Keep a positive perspective on the things that God has given you. Write God's promises in your heart and you will see great things in your life

Steps to Happiness..........

Steps to Happiness…………

Everybody Knows: You can't be all things to all people. You can't do all things at once. You can't do all things equally well. You can't do all things better than everyone else. Your humanity is showing just like everyone else's. So: You have to find out who you are, and be that. You have to decide what comes first, and do that. You have to discover your strengths, and use them.
You have to learn not to compete with others, because no one else is in the contest of *being you*. Then: You will have learned to accept your own uniqueness. You will have learned to set priorities and make decisions. You will have learned to live with your limitations. You will have learned to give yourself the respect that is due. And you'll be a most vital mortal. Dare To Believe:
That you are a wonderful, unique person created by God almighty. That you are a once-in-all-history event, That it's more than a right, it's your duty, to be who you are. That life is not a problem to solve, but a gift to cherish. And we'll be able to stay one up on what used to get us. May God bless you and keep you safe…
