We are not forgiven because we are able to make an effective repentance, but because of his unlimited grace and love . And, we repent because God's mercy is sufficient and overwhelming to accept us.

Have lessons from yesterday. Use your opportunities today. And, hope for tomorrow in faith.

Do you know, what 'God is a creator God' imply?
It implies to create is his past, present, and future act. So, we are saying, he still calls light from darkness. He still fills all the void, the empty, the disorder into something beautiful, meaningful and in order. Your God is a creator God!

"My heart recoils within me;
my compassion grows warm and tender.
9 I will not execute my fierce anger;
I will not again destroy Ephraim;
for I am God and no mortal,
the Holy One in your midst,
and I will not come in wrath." Hosea 11:8&9

You will be good or do good not to have the favor of God. It is the other way you do and be good because you got the favor of God. You don't try to please your parents to be a child to them, but you do things because you are already their child. You don't any more do what pleases your wife to make her your wife, you will do what you ought to do because she is the best thing that happens in your life. It is the same way with God; we already have his favor and love without any of our efforts. As it is said, "for while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly....God proves his love for us in that while we still were sinners Christ died for us. So please don't try hard to impress or west your energy to prove your self to him, but just ponder on his love and what his love made you to be. Then the commitment flows. #you are loved unconditionally!!

Curious what is missing...

If you're life feels like it is tearing apart, if you lose all the satisfactions in life and if you're world seems it is crumbling, may be it is the love of God what is missing.
When your relationship with God is straight and if you know God is the center of your love, affection, and desire, all will be settled. And if the upright relationship is settled you will be unshakable!

What if he/she would be Jesus?

One of the famous cote in Christianity is "what would Jesus do?". It situates a person to think and act like Jesus (assuming as if how Christ would think or act) in different circumstances. It is a crucial part of discipleship and imitating Jesus.

Nevertheless, most of the time, thinking or assuming (accepting) as the other person would be Jesus is simply over looked. And, I believe it is another crucial aspect of being a Christian. It is the way we affirm, Jesus is 'God becoming man'. In which he embraces the whole of humanity. He is identified with all who have soul and are God's image. That's why, speaking of helping the poor,the sick...,he said "truly I tell you, just as you did not do it to one of the least of this, you did not do it to me" (Math. 25:45).

So, to think of others who need all our help, care, love support ...are like they 'would be Jesus' should motivate us to treat them right. And, anything we de in that light is, surely counted as we do it straight to Christ.
Love,
Sami

Take care of what you desire.
What you seek and desire; what you wish and dream for, as you are willing to pay what it takes...the probability of getting it is high.
In biblical examples, Moses (seeks the presence), Jacob (to have spiritual blessing ), David (seeks to be in the house of the Lord), Solomon (seeks wisdom), and Paul (to know God), are good examples to what we should really strive for.
Indeed it is worth for to pay all it costs and fervently seeking.
Let's put all the efforts to find and be what is true, meaningful and eternal!

Don't be surprised with your failure, even with your wickedness , and or even all your in capabilities. But, be amazed with the width and strength of God's love and patience.

True spirituality doesn't comes from the struggle of keeping the status quo, or the proscribed law. But, with the total, hope, faith (trust) on the unfailing love and the power of God that can change ...and makes perfect.
#God is our only hope. #and pride!!!!

People may not understand What you really feel and experience right now. But, for sure your current situations might help you understand many other people.

"Christianity isn't difficult- it's impossible." In other words, what Christ calls us to do we cannot do apart from his empowerment. Chestron, as cited in Manley Pippert)

What would we be without him? The only way to cross over the world’s thunder, storm and any obstacles is by the lords unfailing love and help. Stay on truck!

Passion week reflections # 1
Remember the king we ought to follow is a humble king who came to his royal city on a donkey and be on his throne on a cross!

Passion week reflection #2
“If you are king of Jews Save your self!” Was the crowed shouting; Affirming “he saved many”.
Never realizing without his body been broken there will be no salvation.
They built a temple which was a burden for a widow. With there blind zeal for the house they consume him. Never realizing he is the true temple. With their folly he built a new temple.
God used human evil to bring life. With Judas betrayal he they all got mercy. With Peter’s denial we’ve seen his love. With his false charge Pilate and Herod make peace. With his arrest barabbas is released. With his crucifixion a robber got the kingdom. For, he is the Passover Lamb!!!

Passion week reflection #3
Jesus’ road of crucifixion is an example for all who dared to follow him. Since we know this road didn’t end in shame and death, we all need to carry the cross as Simon of Cyrene and follow behind Jesus!

We know little. We don’t even understand the very little of ourselves.
We’re impotent. We can’t even control the very deepest of our feelings.
We’re recipients of everything. The smallest things that seems. Every bit of love, cherish, laughter, joy and peace.
