FULLNESS OF LIFE!

The very motivating factor for many of us is the desire to 'Enjoy Life'!

'HOW' is the sensible thing one can ask himself or herself. Many do not find the truthful answer and so end up defining our own ways.

Our own ways measure up to the standards of this world, fleeting, satisfying the urging desires of our hearts. We want to take hold of, take possession of all that we want to have in our lives. Our own reasoning and justifications are the very encouraging factors of our motivation to get what we want. As we take hold of such fleeting things one after the other, many of us fall in to the trap of devouring deception called 'peace' that this world can offer us, chanting 'Live life king size'!

Does anyone want to know the secret of living life in the 'FULLNESS'?

The secret is 'LET 'IT' GO'!

'IT' could be anything that you have taken 'hold' of in your life.

Dare to 'Let 'IT' Go! that you hold on tight in your life. Anything you hold tight will hold you tight making life difficult for you and at one point EVEN if you don't want it any further it wouldn't leave you. The 'hold' that you wantedly allowed in your life to gratify the flesh with become the 'stronhold' of your life. Many of us don't realize how 'killing' it is.

If you run after the fleeting things of the world, may it not hold you to become a strong hold of your life. How many have lost hopes in lives! How many in this world want to live life in it's fullness.

The surest way to have the FULLNESS of LIFE is to 'LET IT GO'!

In the Bible, God said to Abraham, "Take your ONLY son Isaac, whom you love!!!...and offer him as a burnt offering".

God tested Abraham's faith until the point that Abraham let go of his son to be sacrificed. But his confidence was in the same God who promised him saying ' In your seed (Isaac) all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, BECAUSE you have OBEYED My Voice".

God blessed him with nations through the ONLY son who Abraham was willing to 'LET GO'!

Are you willing to 'Let 'IT' GO' EVERY TIME, Every occasion, Everything....to possess all that God has promised in your life...life in Fullness!

Unless you and I are willing to 'LET IT GO', It is hard for us see the change that God wants to bless us with.

How much of FAITH one is willing to derive from Abraham...
...to the point that we can say that 'Yes Lord, I am willing. I am willing to 'LET IT GO'!

I am just moved by the fierce boldness of Abraham to OBEY God to give his ONLY son Isaac as a burnt offering...

Two reasons:

One, it is for the LOVE he had for his One true God, his son went as a burnt offering. God loves the burnt offering offered for Himself. It entirely belonged to Him. Burnt sacrifice was to MAKE ATONEMENT for the person bringing the sacrifice and it made possible to have FELLOWSHIP with the Holy God.

Two, Because of God's Faithfulness to His own Word. God said "..for in Isaac, your seed shall be called"

How many times, we need to 'Let 'IT' Go'?!

-How many ever times we allow ourselves as we take hold of things and people in our lives forming the gap between us and God.
-Anything that tries to take possession of the place that we have for the One true God in our lives.

God wants us as 'Burnt Offering' every day in our lives TRUSTing God completely!

Are you asking, huh..does anyone realize how hard it is to 'Let 'EVERYTHING' Go' in my life?
What do I have after letting go of everything in my life. Is there anything to enjoy in my life.

If you trust Jesus, the answer is YES! You have the FULLNESS of life!

If anyone dares to challenge this Zealous God, Go for it. Dare to 'Let 'IT' Go!

Trails Of Silence!

Silence...it can rip a person apart if exhibited in splendor.

But 'Practicing the presence of Silence' would be really challenging but a stimulating effort. When darts are thrown at you and you stand helpless wanting so much to take your stand yet not able to speak a word, it 'kills' you! Breaks you into pieces.

Silence..it is not abstruse. It is not beyond the understanding of an average mind.

The 'Lion' who was made as a 'Slain Lamb' stood 'Silent' before He was crucified. He spoke no Word yet He spoke. While He went through that excruciating pain, what He carried within Him to remain silent, spoke volume of what He demonstrated on the Cross!

Today, through the 'Death' of that 'Silent Lamb' we have 'Redemption'!

Twined and twisted, caught amidst the problems of the world, driven by the whims and fancies of love of this world, not realizing where our lives are heading toward...the unrested souls never tend to make notice of this tremendous attribute called 'Silence' and what it could bring when exhibited in splendor.

If the Lamb demonstrated it, what is that I am struggling for in my life.

Trails of Silence
I have His steps before my eyes
At times my eyes wouldn't see and I fail and fumble again!
I fail, I fall yet the grip on Him is still not lost!

My 'Daddy' says, "Child, Imitate me"
But Dad 'I feel inadequate'
He said "I carry you trough those trails. Do you see your steps on Mine?"
He continued " You walk yet I carry you"

I cried. 'Oh, My Daddy is closer than what I think!'

I decided to remain in the Silence of the Lamb.

When the world is teaching the lessons of life, key to the learning of meaning of 'Life' lies in understanding the depth of 'Silence of the Lamb'!

I know There is 'Life' after 'Death'!

Silence..simply jolts! Perceptible by the senses of every human being. Truly Exuberant!

Deep Words of Silence!

To those who hunger to know the meaning of Silence!

Many times I would retire myself to remain in silence and I seek for it. It had always helped me. It would feed the need of my hour! How? I have never explored it! I began to ponder on it!

What does this 'Silence' do to me?! Because every time the strength of silence I derived was awesome! Especially when it fills the deep longings of my heart!

I think I am beginning to understand!

In the power of that 'killing' silence I realized there is 'Life' that comes in! As much as it could be 'killing' in a way it could speak, I understood how much it could bring 'Life' in to my whole being!

How it could replenish my every cell that cries out in joy 'Oh It is 'Life' and it is filling!
I have always sought for 'Life', a meaningful 'Life'! Everywhere I went, in everyone I met with, but everyone seem to be lost! Sometime it made me wonder, what is that everyone is looking for! What is the very thing that drives everyone! True to their being ,do they really know if they are really happy!

In the depth of silence, I understood I am getting into to a new world of my being that makes me understand the power of 'life'!

Savior and His silence! I am deeply struck by it! Power of the Cross! Did that 'killing' silence brought life into the whole humanity? It is worth to think about it!

In the 'Depth' of Silence, In those 'Piercing' words of 'Silence' you find 'Life'!

And my Saviour did exactly the same! In 'Silence' He took my shame, my pain, my tears, my wounds, my failures, my hopelessness, my loneliness, my hurt, my weaknesses, my sins! He receives all that I am and all I give Him, but in silence, just by being there!

In that very silence, there is love, there is acceptance, there is comfort!
I am not questioned, I am not justified for my good and bad. Words of Silence were spoken and said 'I am loved the way I am and I am accepted they way I am'!

What kind of response of love this could be which is spoken through Silence!
It is surely a mystery to me!

I have 'life' today! As I hear the sound of Silence, I hear my Savior telling me, 'I give you life, the Everlasting life'!

Do you hear the sound Today, the Sound of Silence?!
Get into the Deep woods of silence! You would know what I mean!

Have we ever thought about this fact?
'when we leave the old things/life and decide to follow what is right, we know what we are leaving behind and what we are getting into!'

"Be still before the LORD, all mankind, because he has roused Himself from His holy dwelling."

Defrost yourself in the Everlasting arms of the Creator!

Enlarge your 'Tents' Today!

When God Wants A Man!

[Anonymous]

When God wants to drill a man and thrill a man and skill a man...
When God wants to mould a man to play the noblest part;
When He yearns with all His heart to create so great and bold a man that all the world shall
be amazed

Watch His methods; watch His ways!
How He ruthlessly perfects whom He royally elects...
How He hammers him and hurts him, and with mighty blows converts him into frail shapes of clay that only God understands.

How His tortured heart is crying and he lifts beseeching hands...
How He bends but never breaks when His good He undertakes.
How He uses whom He chooses...with every purpose fuses him;
by every act induces him to try His splendor out...
God knows what He's about!

When God wants to take a man and shake a man and wake a man...
When God wants to make a man to do the Future's will;
He tries with all His skill...
When He yearns with all His soul to create him large and whole...with what cunning
He prepares him...how He goads and never spares him!

How He whets him and He frets him and in poverty begets him...
How often He disappoints whom He sacredly anoints!
With what wisdom He will hide him; never minding what betide him...
Though His genius sob with slighting and His pride may not forget;
Bids him struggle harder yet!

Makes him lonely so that only God's high messages shall reach him...
So that He may surely teach him what the hierarchy planned;
And though he may not understand...gives him passions to command.
How remorselessly He spurs him...with terrific ardor stirs him
When He poignantly prefers him.

When God wants to name a man and fame a man and tame a man...
When God wants to shame a man to do His Heavenly best;
When He tries the highest test that His reckoning may bring...
When He wants a God or king;
How He reins him and restrains him so His body scarce contains him...
While He fires him and inspires him…
Keeps him yearning, every burning for that tantalizing goal.

Lures and lacerates His soul...
sets a challenge for His spirit;
Draws it highest then he's near it!
Makes a jungle that he clear it; makes a desert that he fear it...and subdue it, if he can --
so doth God make a man!

Then -- to test His spirit's wrath --
throw a mountain in His path; puts a bitter choice before him and relentlessly stands o'er him...
Climb or perish, so He says...but watch His purpose, watch His ways.
God's plan is wondrous kind -- could we understand His mind ?
Fools are they who call His blind! When His feet are torn and bleeding;
yet His spirit mounts unheeding...blazing newer paths and finds;
When the Force that is Divine leaps to challenge every failure, and
His ardor still is sweet --
and love and hope are burning in the presence of defeat!
Lo the crisis, Lo the shouts that would call the leader out...
When the people need salvation doth he rise to lead the nation;
Then doth God show His plan...and the world has found a man!

Take Me In Oh Lord! - A Song For The Youth!

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Q0cuOawD_I8

Remember Your Creator In The Days Of Your YOUTH!

Remember Your Creator In The Days Of Your YOUTH!

"REMEMBER YOUR CREATOER IN THE DAYS OF YOUR YOUTH..."

Eccl.12:1

How my heart longs for those children and youth to know the Lord at their young age!

My life would have tasted the Lord much deeper had I knwown the Lord early in my life. But I know my Savior had a plan for my life.

Plans to...

To make me strong

To teach me His ways

To walk me in His paths

To wash me from ALL my unrighteousness

To guide me in the paths of wilderness

To show me what it means to be loved by the unconditional love

There is more...there is more!

Know Him EARLY, know Him DEEP! Know His love for you today!

'Behold, now is the acceptable time, now is the day of salvation,'

2 Corinthians 6:2b

Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.

1 Tomothy 4:12

Daniel. Man known for his bold faith in the Lord
Young and energitic. Tasted the Lord early in His life

To these four young men God gave knowledge and understanding of all kinds of literature and learning.

The king found them ten times better than all

Dan.1:17-20

1 O God, You are my God; EARLY WILL I SEEK YOU; Psalm 63:1

You can have everything your heart has ever desired, but without God, you will always feel empty and unfulfilled.

Today you have a God, who listens to your heart's cry. Who wants to comfort you. Who wants to love you with an unconditional love. Who wants to be your friend. Who wants to be your companion.

Seek Him early. You would find Him!

Pilgrimage! - 'In Whose Hearts Are The Highways'

Blessed are those whose strength is in You,
Who have set their hearts on Pilgrimage
[ in whose hearts are the highways ].
As they pass through the valley of Baca [ weeping ],
They make it a place of springs;
The autumn rains also cover it with pools.
They go from strength to strength,
Till each appears before God in Zion.
- Psalm 84:5-7


This Journey could be through Dry, Difficult and Dangerous places.

What's the Motivation and the courage to make this journey!!?
Privilege of connecting with God Himself.

It is an effort to travel to meet with God.
It is an internal, unquenchable passion.
Any obstacle could be overcome!

Baca is a variety of balsam plant that can survive in dry condition.

Are you going through a valley of 'Baca'?!

You have the heart of Pilgrimage "In whose hearts are the Highways".
