... "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's intention was that He'd free me up from the nasty nothings so that the one goal of my life would be clear to me - getting back home. Safely.

He tells us to let go, because lugging extra baggage does not get us more points in heaven. It prevents us from getting into heaven.
He calls out to us to give Him our burden, because we wouldn't need those burdens in heaven.
He reassures us that all is provided for at the required time, because He knows our needs.
He has provided for more than we can know because without those things we'd never make it to heaven.

No. The Lord's intent was to free us up so that we could travel light, fast and safe. Even now, He's telling us to let go, free up and get back on track. Get back on the highway. It's hassle-free. There are no jams; and you needn't make any. All hinderences and barriers are taken away. The moment you hit something that threatens to be a road block, hand it to the Lord, believe that it'll be taken away at the right time and continue your way.

The Spiritual race was never meant to be an obstacle race, that you'd need to worry about getting over, or through, or under or around. It's a marathon - just keep going steadily - nothing in your way - full tilt and focussed.

He is with me!

I made a choice to knock on a door not meant for me. He warned me, I did not understand. I stood outside the door. He stood with me. I knocked the door, and it didn’t open for me. He stood with me. I knocked and I knocked. He knocked with me. The door did not open. I waited. He waited with me. I waited. He tried to lead me away from the wrong door. I didn’t understand. He waited. I was knocked down. He was with me. It was an iron door that refused to relent to my knocking. He was with me. I knocked the door till I was hurting and bleeding. He knocked for me. I knocked till was exhausted and weary. He was with me. I sat by the closed door and waited for 6 years, knocking now and then, wearing myself out. Keeping patience and losing it. He waited with me. I knocked off and on. He knocked way more than I did – for me. I refused to budge from the door not meant for me. He stayed. I didn’t understand anything. He understood everything. Yet, He wa

Perfect love casts out fear

I've learnt something about love. Love does not cause us to be weak. It makes us strong. The perfect love of the Father God makes us strong. It brings us life, joy and strength. When we love others with that love, we are strengthened within ourselves. The Word of God says - I do not have a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. Problems and disagreements may arise. People are not perfect. Not even that someone special in one's life. But love overlooks. Love conquers the imperfections. No love is not blind. But love is light. When one looks at another under the perfect light of love, all things fall into the perfect perspective. Wrongs are covered, forgiven, and forgotten. Love makes it easy to forgive. Love makes it easy to move on. Love makes everything clear. Decisions come easy, and one is confident that they did right. No matter how a situation turns out, when what we do is done is love, outcome is good. Father God blesses an action done out of lov

Misery Conquered!!

Catch 'em Unawares!! Misery closes our minds, blinds us and deafens our ears with too much noise in our heads. It is especially capable, with these tools, to eventually shut the door of our hearts. Here's a neat technique: Go into a quiet room with Misery and lock yourself in with it. Then, with no prior warning, drop on your knees and call upon the name of Jesus Christ, the Son of God and our Beloved. He'll come. (obviously!) Then, introduce Misery to Jesus Christ. Let Jesus deal with Misery. Now, for the very important part - you just need to sit back and rest Your Lord Jesus Christ does not need any help dealing with anything, but He sure appreciates you singing some praises. Believe me, your singing praises can distract even your worst enemy from doing his job. The accusator would have just one cause against you - that you sprang a stronger Ally on him and when he was only trying to fight and do his job, your singing distracted him.
