To Obey - Today's Verse


‘If you love me, keep my commandments’ John 14:15

 The toughest thing in any person’s life is to obey another person. Especially if it is our parents, teachers, managers, brothers, sisters we find it extremely difficult.

 To Obey Falsely

 To the law which governs us and to the one who is policing us we yield ourselves with all sincerity. But deep inside our heart we would still want to do those mistakes. This is a false way of obeying things and there is no real benefit out of this. No one will be interested in our behavior, which conceals our true self and obeying the other person falsely. If our friend does it to us, then we know the real pain involved in it. He (or) she might do all the things you tell but actually they are not interested in your rather they don’t want to hurt your feelings.

 One with a pleasing Heart

 If someone wants to please another person, they are already doing what the other person is going to like. They don’t find a big revolt happening inside them to do the other person’s will. Since, they are already tuned to please the other person. This day let us analyze if we are also tuned the same way to please our master, our friend, our savior, Christ Jesus.

 Enemy inside ‘Us’ – ‘Self’

 Yes, the real enemy is none but the love of our ‘self’. We have started to care and love ourselves more than any other person. Hence, we are not able to please another person. We consciously live for our priorities, our selfish desires and for our own life. This is the reason for the battles in our heart, to obey God, our parents, teachers, brothers, sisters and all our fellow beings. To love God and serve one another in love will break all the yoke of slavery to the ‘Self’.

 Love = Pleases = Obeys

 Today, if we say that we really love God, let our actions prove it. True love tries to please more and more leading to no need of a commandment. Since, you have already tried to serve the purpose of the law. Love is the key word. Love fulfills the purpose of the commandments.

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...
