Understanding God's Love - Today's Verse


The law teaches us to love the Lord, our God with all our heart, body, mind and soul. But our heart has so many compartments, where we have accommodated people and things of our own choices into each one of them.

 Imagine a family which has one kid and their parents pondering all their love onto this one kid. After a few years there is another baby born in this family. Now, the parents have started to give more attention and love to the second kid more than the first one. Each time they get to praise the new born, suddenly the thought of the first one comes to their mind and they also notice the first one is giving a very strange look to their behavior. 

 Well, that is the nature of love and it is filled with jealousy. There is no compromise in love. Mostly, it is just because of the proportion in which it is measured to the others, brings all the problem.

 Measures of Love

 For the elder one, not to get disheartened, we also cuddle him for sometime. This activity soothes the other person. But watch what a strange behavior, that we did give our attention to him to make sure that he shouldn't feel bad about it. Likewise God is watching you when you pour all your heart to something or someone else other than Him. He would wait until such time, till we understand that only He alone is the one who is worthy of all your love, praise and honor. Well, we have to admit that, He is the one who gave us a good spouse, beautiful children, great parents, kind brothers and sisters, a place to live and work, food and shelter, everything. If God has provided us with so much in His abundant love, why does our hearts hesitate in loving and seeking Him with all our Heart? 

 Treasure - Heart

 When a kid is presented with a toy, He becomes happy and starts palying with it. For sometime he even forgets the one who gave the present to him and gets indulged with the gift. Perhaps we are also like that in our life. God has given us so many things and we have settled with that and set our minds to those gifts which God has given us. Those have become our treasures and our hearts are just behind them. As God says, wheresoever our Treasure is our heart follows it.  

 Father - Equality

 Well, from a father's view both the kids gets equal attention. Even, the first one, when he was a little kid got the same love and care. In the eyes of the Father, both of them are equal. He shows no partiality between them. He treats everyone in common and that is the very nature of our Heavenly Father. May be the kids think that the Father loves the other more, but the truth is that the Father sees them equally. Understanding this, will make us to enter into His peace. The Truth will set us free. 

 Worthy of our love

 If there is someone, who is not liking or against the amount of love, time and care which you give for God above them, then there is surely some trouble about that person. Well, give them all your life and serve with the God's love, till they understand that it is only God, the Father who is worthy of all our love. Each one in our life is a gift from God, We cannot protect them, give life for them or do anything to Him. Each one of us are carved in his hands. He cares for each one of us, more than we do. Let us not deceive each other by saying that you we care for them more than Jesus. Love each other with God's love. Let God alone get exalted through your love and not your 'self'. Love others as you love your 'self'.

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...
