Way to the Father's Heart

When Father God spoke to me of further breaking up in my life, I looked up and said, ‘Father, breaking up is painful. But I know that I’m in Your hands and You will not let me scatter, so here I am. And I’m scared. Even though after the last break up, what I found was much more valuable than what I had.’ Yes, breaking is painful, especially when you’re at the receiving end. Even if you know that after breaking, what the Lord would build would be much more magnificent – the glory of the latter house will be greater than the former – still it needs a stout and willing heart to step forward and say – I’m here. I said ‘I’m here’ not because I’m a lion-heart, but because I’m encouraged after the last break-down encounter with God. I know it is only glory that He’ll lead me to. Being with Jesus is all about breaking down and building up. Continuously, consciously or unconsciously, but relentlessly. Call it pruning if you’re a gardener at heart; I’m more of an architecture- or interior desig

You are Called because God chose to call you; You are Chosen because you chose to obey. *** It is not that I love God, but that God loves me, which holds my faith. *** Love for God is never complete without love for His people. *** God loves because He chose to love us when He conceived us in His heart. We love Him because we're too overwhelmed that He chose that option!

... "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, ..." Luke 12:22 Ah! Priceless words. Do not worry! The Lord has paved the road. He has got an expensive car. The fuel tank is full to the overflowing levels. The tyres are new. The engine is cutting edge. The traffic is one way. He's also got me a driver. There is a nice lush backseat where I can stretch my legs as I take the ride of my life back home. But no! what about that shady tree on the side of the road! It'd be great if I could just rest under it. This road is so long, it seems endless. And oh! that car that other guy has looks comfy. My clothes! They aren't travel worthy; they'll just be spoiled by the long haul. And food? Aren't we going to stop over at some nice restaurents on the way? What about all of my nice suitcases I'm having to let go just to take this ride? Do not worry! Isn't it miserable to worry about small nothings when everything is already provided for me? The Lord&

When you are waiting for God's promises to be fulfilled, and you feel you've waited really long ... dont worry! Time with Jesus is not time wasted; it's time invested.Jesus is my profit-maker.

It is so exciting to see people eager to serve the Lord. They talk zealously about what they want to do. Their speech is full of statements like, 'I want to sing for the Lord', 'I want God to use my talents', 'I want to go out and preach for Jesus', 'I want to do something for the Lord'. I was happy feeling all this and then the Lord spoke - 'You know, what was the biggest difference between Saul and Paul?' I thought hard but knew that it is only Him who could answer His questions, as usual. He continued - 'Saul served God as Saul wanted. Paul served God as God wanted.' I wondered what His point was. He explained - 'A lot of good workers start off as Paul with saying that they'll do whatever God wants them to do. As the time goes by, 'God wants' changes to 'I want'. This is because they feel they know what God wants of them. Perhaps God has spoken to them about their calling - preaching, serving, worshipping. When

When you act according to the nature He has given you, it gives Father God great joy. *** I do not plan or decide; I'm not qualified for that. I just follow orders. *** God hears our unformed prayers and even today forms Eden out of void. *** Man's wisdom leads to confusion; God's wisdom uncomplicates. *** Don't be a road block on the spiritual highway; you may slow down those following you.

... "Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me." Luke 15:12 We still do it, don't we? When we look at the prodigal, we shake our heads at him and sometimes, smile knowingly. But, we still do it, don't we? We go up to our Father and tell Him to 'give me my share' - my dreams, my prayers, my requests, my wants, my wishes. The endless list of 'my things' is our first priority. Lord, give my job, then I will help others get a job. Lord, give me my family, then I will spend my life in your service. Lord, give me a good paycheck, then I will take care of those who are needy. Lord, get me out of debt, then I will pray for others who are in debt. Lord, You hear my prayer, then I will share Your testimony in my church Father, give me my share.Now, the Father is not averse to hearing our prayers, listening to our wish list, and giving us our share. It's just that His perspective is a bit different. "But seek the kingdom of God, and all these
