Looking back............

There is no place as sweet as the presence of the Lord. No true and deep as the love of God. No guidance as perfect as the guidance of the Most High. No dreams as great as the will of the Almighty. No medicine as powerful as the blood of Jesus, that can heal, not only physical sickness but also spiritual weakness and wounds. He always is the best, in all ways, and so rejoice, coz you have all right to say

                    "I AM HIS AND HE IS MINE"

                              Yes......Tomorrow is my birthday and just I dedicate this post exclusively for my God who has created me with a purpose and for a purpose and I'm just sitting now and rewinding my mind to years back and forwarding till my present second how I was being led by Him miraculously throughout my life till date, through this rugged path of my lyf journey... I'll just share whatever  the thoughts and experiences and philosophies learnt in my lyf, those I feel that they are worth of disseminating to everyone.

                             Childhood days are really the awesome and beautiful days of anybody's life and tats true for me too.....Wow.... Cute child of an extremely kind and God-fearing parents... Eventhough I can't remember much how I was during my first 4 yrs of age I pretty well remember the emergence of a new family member..yes...my kutti brother....OOhhhh.... Tat was the time when jeni will always be filled with envy and anger because of the fact that her precious love and affection frm her dear parents are going to be shared with another soul too.... That was the time when I was very studious, spiritual (yes..guided by my mom) and chooo naughty and an extremely huggable pet by my parents, sibling as well as by my family...Yes...I was like a star...Everybody likes me and admires me...and ...and...and...no words to say.....a cutie pie I was!

                               Thenn....as usual as I grew up, and ages passed by, a different aspect of journey started and continuing till now.....Yes...unlike the babyhood and childhood stages, which were, of course, a tension and stress-free life, the later on times of life, eventhough they were fascinating too, still I had to strive hard with trials and tribulations in life which are usually given by God to test our faith. As written in I Peter 3:17, if God's will is that, its always better to suffer for doing good. Whatever it may be, in studies or in workplace or in life, God gives us trials just for melting and moulding us to become the appropriate and right vessel that he chooses to be.

                             That too, being as a Christian, the life will not at all be a bed of roses or a bed of soft cotton balls, but its indeed a painful life, which we can withstand and be still rejoicing in the Lord if we catch hold on him, than giving a way for Satan to ruin our life by being trembled with fear or just broken down completely. As stated in Psalm 34:17, God always lends an ear and hears his people if they call out for him and save them from all their troubles....The thing tat we have to do is, just to cast all our burdens and wordly worries upon Jesus and be relaxed and rejoicing in Him. Thats what I have learnt in my life.... When I face problems or situations that are so disconcerting, previously wat I used to do is, go on meditating about the problem and worrying and tat n tis...but when I started to pray and share everything with the Almighty, an extraordinary  peace and contentment tat tis world and its desires wouldn't give us, would surround me and let me live happily.. tats the secret of my happiness....I would say...Yes friends...Our God is so faithful that he never leaves his children astray or as orphans and I am a living example.

                          Another thing tat I experienced in my life is, we may make various plans and decisions and actions in our life, but the ultimate fact is that only the Lord's wish will happen and none of ours. So, its better to offer our lives to Him so that he'll be having great plans for our lives and when we let them happen, those things will be the best in our life. Proverbs 19:21 states this. So, keep everything in prayer and be patient in knowing His will in our lives. Because when we go hastily into our own decisions rather than the Lord's it would bring a great devastating effect in our lives and I've experienced tat too.

                          But, whatever happens in our life, we have to thank God at all times (Ephesians 5:20), because He is good and everything happens to us for a reason. If he takes something away from us, it means that he's having something great in store for us. So, never be discouraged or disappointed at any point in our life. Moreover, as said in Luke 6:27,28 we should love our enemies and pray for those who are cruel to us. I pretty well know that tis is very difficult to follow and even I don't follow, but still, trying to follow, we can do tat...I think so...! Also, as written in James 4:10, its always wise to humble before God's presence so that we'll be honored.

                       Above everything, God protects His children wherever they go with His angels (Psalm 91) and I always thank Him for that....Yes...I always thank Him for giving another new day coz' our life is not in our hands. We can't assure that we'll be alive tomorrow or not. Thats life and its now that I've understood it.

                      So, I don't wanna drag this more...bcoz I'm not a preacher or a puritan or a philosopher to share these things. But the fact is, these are some of the things that I've learnt all these years in my journey of life and I felt tat its always worth sharing good info with others. Ok....so the good msg tat i'm gonna convey for my birthday is,

 

First of all I thank the Almighty for having created me and still guides me and leads me in this tough path of life. Then, my parents, sibling, my dear well-wishers and friends for having made my life colorful. So, be happy and good to the maximum extent. After all,life is a battle field and we are all warriors who are bound to fight a good fight and finally pursue the everlasting crown of life......:-)
