Greetings to all in the matchless name of ,our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

 I was enjoying my Tea break with my colleagues. Usually I listen to their stories or else I prefer my way out of the discussion.But something strange happened to me. One of my colleague just wanted to know something personal about me and I was dodging her question cleverly. To that she replied, "I know you are an introvert!"

That came as a shocking encounter for me...A shocking outcome which definitely was not a "Eureka" moment for me. I did a bit of introspection (as usual) and yeah, to an extent I agree.

So the concern is, "Is it wrong for a Christian to be an introvert?"

Introverts...

• Just don’t talk unless they have something to say.
• They need a reason to interact.
• They want everyone to just be real and honest.
• They intensely value the few friends they have.
• They crave an authentic and sincere connection with ONE PERSON at a time.
• They don’t make most decisions based on what is popular or trendy.

   So when Christianity is all about, "Go and make disciples" isn't it a hard task for introverts?

But again we see in the Bible, God can change a reluctant person to His messenger...
God can help a poor speaker, slow and hesitant to rescue a large number of captives.
God can help a murderer to be an Apostle...

So it's never about being an introvert or extrovert.
As it is written,
"If God is with us who can be against us!"

-God Bless You

We need to hear these words of Jesus more often!
A few circumstantial details describing the scene are worth pondering.

Greetings to all!

It is always good to be on knees. That's just the perfect position to pray. Amidst all the storms, I do see my Savior holding within the veil. One of the biggest struggle and at the same time one of the biggest desire of a person is to be accepted. Especially in today's competitive world, we want our work to be acknowledged and appreciated. Isn't it difficult to do everything for the Glory of God?

Often we read about the Triumphant entry of Jesus Christ in Jerusalem and think about the crowd. On that day, they sang, "Hosanna" and just a few days later we hear them shout, "Crucify Him."
But what really amazes me is our Savior's response.

Do you remember the incident when Jesus fed the multitude with five loaves and two fishes? We also see there how Jesus perceived that they would come and take Him by force, to make Him a King, He departed again into a mountain Himself alone. (John 6:15)

At the same time, when the Lord raised Lazarus from death, many people came to meet Him shouting, "Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord...the King of Israel! "

Even in Jesus' moment of Glory, the scripture says the people praised God for the signs they had seen. Jesus was a great example of directing Glory to God. We should be as well. (Author unknown)

Let us surrender all our doings that they may serve Him and only Him.

Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye

do, do all to the glory of God.(1 Corinthians 10:31)

And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the

name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the

Father by him. ( Colossians 3:17)

- GOD BLESS YOU

Hello friends,

MOTHER:- Dear Justine and Gracie, I want you to know where your enemy is attacking you?

Justine, when you were angry that I gave a fair chance to Gracie, you were mad at me.
Maybe, at that time you wanted me to scold her and to punish her.
But when I asked you to place yourself as the 11th hour laborer, you started defending him.
Dear Children, Our enemy always do this thing with us. We often play the role of God, we judge others and defend our very self.
Gracie, So Justice didn't prevail. We deceive our heart and we mould justice in our favor.
We seek Justice for others and mercy for our very self.

1) GOD IS A RIGHTEOUS JUDGE. (Psalm 7:11)

When you observe your duties as a sincere elder Son of the parable of the Prodigal Son, Father would obviously help you inherit all that He has.
You receive blessings as per your deeds plus His Grace also.

2) GOD IS LOVE. (1 John 4:8)

But our Lord, also loves the sinner. He gives them a fair chance to repent and to lead a new life.
You receive blessings as per His Grace and Compassion.

3) DO NOT BE JEALOUS. (James 3:14)

So the one who is sincere in his work should not be jealous, when God showers his free gift of Grace to all.
At the same time, Our eyes should not be fixed on the reward but we should strive to do more good works for God.
Believe that he will surely reward you. That again is His Grace...

4)GOD'S GRACE: NOT A LICENSE TO SIN. (Romans 6)

Grace of God is not cheap. It is in fact priceless.
Because we receive all gifts from the Lord, out of His Grace, which is purchased not by any burnt-offerings not by money not by power but by the BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST.

So always remember, Lord constantly keeps on asking you,
"why are you standing idle here?"

Justine and Gracie kissed their mom and they prayed together. Both understood the concept of...

"LOGIC OF JUSTICE AND LOGIC OF GRACE."

Next day early morning, as a family all started praying. After family prayer, it is a usual practice that mother sends the tiny tots to their room and ask them to spend personal time with the Lord.

Mother reminded Justine to study about the parable of "LABORERS IN VINEYARD"

Justine and Gracie (Brother and Sister) were fighting over a trivial matter. Loving mother comes and sorts out the differences between them. She understood Gracie was wrong so embraced her, kissed her and gave her a fair chance to repent. Justine gets angry and leaves.

How can you,
O Lover of my Soul,
Wash the feet of your disciple,
And here I stand so stubborn and unfaithful
As I can't even do it of my Master

Greetings to all in the priceless name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

• Just few days back while I was chatting with my friend, she asked me a strange question, "Where was God, When I was tempted?" I asked her to trust the Lord and we logged off. This question still hurts me.

Greetings to all in the precious name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

Deep down my heart I strongly believe, Our Soul is really thirsty for the Lord. As the Psalmist sings,

“As the deer panteth for the water;

So my soul longeth after thee…”

Last week, I had a great time with my cousin. She is just 8 years old. While I was teasing her as schools are reopening, I could sense her feelings were getting too strong and she was getting sad. I asked her why don’t you like your school? With a childlike innocence, she replied, “I know I will get accustomed within days but the freedom of a vacation, the joy it brings; I’m going to miss it all!”

Last month we meditated about the purpose of our creation and recreation, “BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH FOR WORKS”. We reached the last session of this series, where we are going to study about Grace of giving in the New Testament. If you missed any article, here is the link:

Let us be filled with the grace of giving as mentioned in the Old Testament.
