There are things I wish for

I wish i could have changed.

ways I could have implemented.

places I’d never had to go.

people I wanted to meet.

Call’s to be made

scenes of life i wanted to hear

Words i could have read

acts of faithful deeds

Days I could have seen early

if I had spent my Nights early

Hours invested knowing the true

meaning of life

Speaking to the one who really cares

Answers that I wanted to say,

questions I Could have asked.

People being saved.

Eternal destinies changed

Meat that could have been eaten

instead of milk that is needed

The root word being could.

in the past tense,

And in the present:  I didnt.

right now makes the difference between the present and the next second

I have got to change.

lost my phone…again.

The joy of having a new phone is outlived especially if you got a new one after you lost an inexpensive phone. I lost my Moto Razr v3i a couple of months ago. To recompensate for the loss I bought myself the cheapest phone available in the market. So cheap that I dont even know it’s model no. But now I lost that too. This time it really really was NOT my fault. I fell of the bike and there was nothing I could do to NOT lose it.

I’m praying for an E71 or an E 63. JEHOVAH JIREH! I know God is well able to provide all things in His time. Just so you all know, even if He doesn’t give me either of the two choices, God is still well able to provide all things in His time.

Preach it

Got thrown out of a coffee cafe tonite for opening the Bible and preaching the Word of God to my friend. Apparently according to one customer “believers can’t preach in CCD”. I don’t know who he is, or what he wanted. And lets not get into the “how dare he”. Lets pray.

We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,—2 Timothy 3:12

Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name.—1 Peter 4:12-14, 16

for as it is written in

Romans 8:35-39:

³⁵Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

³⁶Just as it is written,
FOR YOUR SAKE WE ARE BEING PUT TO DEATH ALL DAY LONG;
WE WERE CONSIDERED AS SHEEP TO BE SLAUGHTERED.”

³⁷But in all these things we overwhelmingly ⁾conquer through Him who loved us.

³⁸For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,

³⁹nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Now, its too late to try

i pictured a man writing this just before he is thrown into eternal damnation.

Now

i can see it in His eyes

wish i didn’t believe in those lies

i knew what it meant

to take that road down

trust me now.

Its filled with resentment.

I’ve seen the end of it all

the rich, the poor

even the big and small.

The famous and infamous

all who ever walked in Time

came down to a single stroke in eternity

Solomon was truly wise-

Everything else is Vanity.

Genesis 28:15… until what has been promised.

Three years ago, amongst the excitement of becoming a Son of God, I prayed many prayers. Some of them I dont even remember, but Praise God that the Bible tells me that even if I forget God doesnt. Today I was reminded of Genesis 28:15, God’s promise that He wont(sometimes I read that as ‘cant’) leave me until what has been promised is done.

I was going to Borivili Station through Dahisar station when I passed by a particular turning in the road. The reason why I remember that so vividly is because God led me there when I was searching for a starting stop for the Bus that would ferry passengers from Dahisar to Church. He told me that this fork in the road was designed for the very purpose I had come looking for.How cool is that? God ordained stio for that same bus I had prayed for, years ago. Of course I didnt see it until the time was fulfilled. However when the bus did start, they didnt have anyone to keep a track of the people or the bus. So I was asked to step in. At that time, I remember how unwillingly(with myself) I complied. But today I can hear God tell me “You prayed for this. Don’t you remember? So it’s only fair that it starts with your labour. You will enjoy the fruits of it.”

Isn’t our God wonderful? His ways are not Our ways. I cant believe it took me so long to understand what was going on that Elohim mind of HIS! If you have a prayer that hasn’t been answered. Dont worry. God hears our prayer as soon as we say it – 1 John 5:15 “And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him.”

All Glory and Honour to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our Faith.

God is a creative genius!

Remember how God created the Universe and recreated the Earth and said that “it is good”? Well since we are made in his image, we have His creativity  too.

The first revelation in the Bible we see of God is Jehovah Elohim- “I am God, the Creator.“

How cool is that? and unlike humans, he created everything out of nothing.For Humans, to even draw something on a clean slate, one needs some sort of inspiration. And even if you skip the inspiration, lets say you hypothetically did actually draw something that didn’t exist. You still got to make your own slate before you draw. Tabula Rasa my bum.

Reminds me of a joke-

Two scientists who were very succesful in cloning met up with God. Since they could create life too now, they decided to meet this God person with their findings.

” we can make human life too” said the two. The Big Dude says,”really? Thats new.But I dont believe it.”
“Tell you what, lets have a competition. You create a human and we’ll create a human. Let’s see who succeeds.”
“Okay. Lets do it. You go first.” said God

The scientists, excited started to take dirt to make man.

“Oh no you don’t, you got to make your own dirt first”

Have a Great Day everyone.

Endlessly

I love this song. I cant stop listening to it. Learning to play it on the bass now. It’s simple really- He loves us Endlessly.

You can make a difference

I ride to work everyday, even when I dont have work I am usually on the bike. I can safely say that Indian roads are to be experienced and learned.

Breaking a traffic signal is of no value today. It only costs 100 Rs to get away. Lesser if you want to bribe the official.Trust me, the only time you will NOT consider breaking it , is if you seen cops right in front of you or you have seen too many cops on that particular day to keep you alert.
Im not saying that I dont ever break signals. But I dont do it anymore. And if you catch me doing it, slap me.

I’ve noticed this. If everyone else is breaking the signal you will too even if you aren’t a regular at it.It is very easy to go with the flow. “Why are you doing it? I dont know. Because everyone else is.” For some it doesnt even matter if there are cops, they run away.

Its very difficult to stop at the signal when everyone else is breaking it. Even more to do so before the white line which is drawn before the zebra crossing.

But when you DO stop, you’ll witness a miracle. Don’t bother about the fool honking behind you to get you to break the signal. Wait for the signal to turn green. Suddenly you will see motorists stop too. Why? Cuz one of them saw you do it. And then everyone starts to stop for the signal.

My point is this- If a normal action of following normal logical laws can influence others to do the same, HOW MUCH MORE when you start living for Jesus Christ. How much more when you show Jesus in your life. Dont break God’s laws. Be an example to others.

So are you ready to make a difference today? Start with a smile.
