I will Win… then who is to Lose…

At all given instance, I should be the one to win and be in First place.
  • Rank 1 in school & college
  • First to get through the interview
  • First to get promotion, incentive
  • First to get in through any crowded queue
  • First to be recognized, praised, loved and applauded
  • First to be held responsible in all of my life
  • First one to Blame
  • Win the Argument
In this very fast paced world, everybody says "First me" to their heart. It should be my son, my daughter who is winning the competition. They should get the first rank and stand as an exceptionally successful one. Some say that, I should be "First one" to be remebered in the other person's mind. But If the other one treats someone else to be their priority we cannot digest it. From our school days we were taught to win and rank one in every competition.

We are on the race with no time to turn back and look at who is coming where or whether they are hurt and dropped in-between. You turn, you will lose, You spare time for another person, Again you will lose badly. Either we can win the race and lose the people or we can win the people and lose the race.

If the game is between my son, daughter, wife and myself, I have the heart to lose and make them happy by giving them the joy of success. I am ready to lose only with my loved ones and I decide the loved ones for me. Others are considered as strangers and I have to win over them and need not bother about their happiness.

I draw the size of my family and loved ones circle. It is up to us to decide, Whether the whole world is my family or it is just the small family which I have is the whole world. The Bigger the family the more you will be willing to lose. The More the independent and individual we are, we just care about our desires, priorities and successes. We don't have time for others in our journey of life to success.

Is it possible for us to say that I would be first one to forgive, lose, and to embrace shame. Or do we say, No that's not right... "I am born to win and I Deserve it". Do I ever think Why should I be the first one in everything which I perform... ?

First - I (me) - Rest - Second - Third......FIRST.

“whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave” Mat 20:26,27

Submit your "self" and let God get glorified in all things you do. Keep God First in all you activities and let others share the rest. Your priorities design your character and you tend to please the highest one in order of priority at all times. Is Jesus there on our Priority list? If so, which place is given to Him? Remember anything other than one is called REST (second, third, etc.). 

 "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.
For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it" Luke 9:23,24

 With this understanding, you will be the first one to pour out your life in the Cross for your loved ones.  FIRST to follow Jesus...

Quiet Time with the Lord - Today's Verse

If the Lord works in our life then He gets glorified. If we work, then we take the glory and end up not giving any glory to the Lord. Toughest thing in a  person's life is to keep quiet. Sometimes we are blessed with such tranquility, when we embrace the  truth that nothing is possible by us. Our brain never gives up and seeks continuously for help from its  last left source of encouragement. Until we have good health, wealth and the whole world besides us we are actually reluctant to look at  the source, the Creator of Universe. We always have an idea or a thought triggered in our mind saying  that something or the other is really possible by us. We know too much or too little doesn't matter but  we want to speak without reasoning. World also wants to keep us busy – ‘ Business ’. While in contrary,  the Lord wants you to ‘ Rest ’. Until we don't become still and listen, nobody can make use of us, be it  either the world or the Lord.  F...

Road Life Principle – Part III

One way or the other, things get delayed in reaching us. Our complaint in life is that Nothing happens on time, especially when we are waiting for it. “Traffic Jam” is the key word. Everybody is waiting on the road, but for how long. We need to go to Home, Office, see friends, etc., we have so many other things to do. All of a sudden if my vehicle has to stop because of a traffic jam, I could not bear it. It could be an accident, somebody is trying to learn to ride a vehicle, an animal moving in the center of the road, etc. If it is my vehicle which has met the accident then the case is different. I don’t give it much of thought, but point to be understood is when we were in the accident and learning phase others too had to go through the tough time of waiting and getting delayed in their journey. If we understand that it had a valid reason for us to wait for sometime in this journey of life, things become interesting. If something is getting delayed in our life  it has got ...

Get Released and Release Others - Today's Verse

But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail and brought them out. "Go, stand in the temple courts," he said, "and tell the people the full message of this new life." Act 5:19, 20 Here is an incident, where the apostles have been arrested and put to jail for spreading the good news of the Gospel. But on the same night an Angel of the Lord appeared to them and opened the doors of the jail and asked them to spread the full message of this new life. Today let us meditate on these words to know the real purpose of our living on this earth. We have also been jailed in different ways. We could have been occupied with bad thoughts, lustful desires, greed, envy, anger, jealousy, selfishness, sickness, etc. We are still crying to ourselves and trying to get out of it but with no success. Well, the good news is that Jesus could deliver you from all bondages today. No man, No person, No body, No sickness, No bondages, No thoughts, No e...
