Fall in love...

by Shyju Mathew This post by Evg.Shyju inspired me a lot to think about certain things mentioned here..esp about humilility and guarding our mouths..Hope it blesses your hearts too!!:) This pic is of a dear friend who has left such an enormous impact on my life..One among the few women after God's own heart I've known personally...she has shown me soo much of Jesus..and so much truth..this is for her..:)Thank yOu Kellie for everything!You are tooo beautiful! In 2 Kings 4:8, the King James and a few other versions refer to the woman of Shunem as a “great woman”. I’ve always wondered what made her so deserving of the title: great woman. It could not have been her wealth alone that made her to be known this way. The question here is how can you – as a daughter of the Most High – be known as a great woman as well? During our travels, we’ve come across many bitter women. We even found some people who shut their minds against marriage because of past hurts. I believe ...

Have you ever really thought about what is worship?and Why worship? what is it really that draws you to worship Him? many years into the Christian "religious"faith can lead you to think this way and maybe not everyday but at times we all end up thinking this way.What is worship?Is it always like we sing.."its all about you,Jesus!!"..or is it about songs n lyrics?good music?the peace?or is it on your "christian" checklist?If you ask people why they go to church on Sundays,most "christian"people say-"oh Im here to worship God".. worship is understood by many people in many different ways.To some its duty.To others it is sacrifice.To some others it is commandment.What is it to children of God?How can worship be a part of the Father-son relationship God has established?Worship has to got to be more than the just the "worship service".. its a wide topic to comment on,but I just wanna share something real simple,that helps me...

Malachi 3:3 says: "He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver." This verse puzzled some women in a Bible study and they wondered what this statement meant about the character and nature of God. One of the women offered to find out the process of refining silver and get back to the group at their next Bible Study That week, the woman called a silversmith and made an appointment to watch him at work. She didn't mention anything about the reason for her interest beyond her curiosity about the process of refining silver. As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up. He explained that in refining silver, one needed to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames were hottest as to burn away all the impurities. The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot; then she thought again about the verse that says: "He sits as a refiner and purifier of silver." She asked the silversmith if i...

Phillipians 3:10-16(MSG) 10-11I gave up all that inferior stuff so I could know Christ personally, experience his resurrection power, be a partner in his suffering, and go all the way with him to death itself. If there was any way to get in on the resurrection from the dead, I wanted to do it. 12-14I'm not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me. Friends, don't get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I've got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward—to Jesus. I'm off and running, and I'm not turning back. 15-16So let's keep focused on that goal, those of us who want everything God has for us. If any of you have something else in mind, something less than total commitment, God will clear your blurred vision—you'll see it yet! Now that we're on the right track, let's stay on it. The Race attribut...

Everyonez in the "easter mode"..halleluYah's everywhere..Every heart singing praise to the greatest Lover... To me: --its a story that changed my story forever. --a story that moves into the depth of my spirit as days go by..becoming a reality..more real than anything else around me. --a story my heart celebrates knowing that I'm loved,held precious,completely accepted,though fully undeserved. --a story that reminds me that God looks to my face,to my heart,sees me clean..cuz of the blood that was shed for me. --a story that tells me that God chose to do it.knowing all of me.knowing all my secrets cuz He knew even then and wud have said to Himself,"She will be like me.She will be mine forever" --a story that makes me see that no lover,no love,no stories or fairytales can ever match the power,intensity,passion of This True Lover and His Story. --a story that makes me see a God who is most precious,more than silver,gold or anything I could ask for..He...

I love the dark black clouds.and lightning. I love the rounded pebbles on seaside. I love multicoloured umbrellas. I love a hot cup of coffee on a rainy day under my blanket.

I love colour gradients on paintings. I love one golden fish in a round glass bowl. I love the dew and enjoy the fog. I love cooking something for the first time. I love opening surprise gifts wrappers. I love the waves as they touch my feet and race back to where they belong. I love memories that are etched on my heart and stored in my diaries. In short,I need a psychiatrist or I'll jus have more in this list. I would l...
