God has united this relationship


One day, during an evening class for adults, the psychology Teacher entered the class and told students, “Let’s all play a game!” “ What Game?”

The Teacher asked one of the students to volunteer.
A lady, Aliza came forward.
The Teacher asked her to write 30 names of most important people in her life on blackboard.
Aliza wrote names of her family members, relatives, friends, her colleagues and her neighbors.
The Teacher told her to erase 3 names that Aliza considered most unimportant.
Aliza erased names of her colleagues.
The Teacher again told her to delete 5 more names. Aliza erased her neighbor's names.
This went on until there were just four names left on the blackboard. These were names of her mother, father, husband and the only son...
The entire class became silent realizing that this wasn’t a game anymore for Aliza alone.
Now, The Teacher told her to delete two more names.
It was a very difficult choice for Aliza.
She unwillingly deleted her parents names.
“Please delete one more” said the Teacher.
Aliza became very nervous and with trembling hands and
tears in eyes she deleted her son’s name. Aliza cried painfully...
The Teacher told Aliza to take her seat.
After a while Teacher asked "why your husband?? The parents are the ones that nurtured you, and the son is the one you gave birth to ??? And you can always find another husband !!!"
Total silence in the class.
Everyone was curious to know her response.
Aliza calmly and slowly said, “One day my parents will pass away before me.
My son may also leave me when he grows old, for his studies or business or whatever reason. The only one who will truly share his entire life with me, is my Husband”.
All the students stood up and applauded for her for sharing this truth of life.
This is true. So always value your life partner, it's not only for husbands but wives as well.
God has united these two souls and it's on you now to nurture this relationship above all

WHO IS JESUS...?



In chemistry,
He turned water to wine.

In biology,
He was born without the normal
conception;

In physics,
He disapproved the law of gravity
when He ascended into heaven;

In economics,
He disapproved the law of
diminishing return by feeding 5000 men with
two fishes & 5 loaves of bread;

In medicine,
He cured the sick and the blind
without administering a single dose of drugs,

In history,
He is the beginning and the end;

In government,
He said that He shall be called
Wonderful Counselor, Prince of Peace;

In religion,
He said no one comes to the Father
except through Him;

So. Who is He? He is Jesus!

Join me and let's celebrate Him; He is worthy.

The eyes beholding this message shall not behold evil,

The hand that will send this message to everybody shall not labor in vain,

and The mouth saying Amen to this prayer shall smile
forever.

Remain in God and seek his face always. 

Amen!

In God I've found everything!

The Greatest Man in History

Jesus had no servants,
yet they called Him Master.

Had no degree,
yet they called Him Teacher.

Had no medicines,
yet they called Him Healer.

He had no army,
yet kings feared Him.

He won no military battles,
yet He conquered the world.

He committed no crime,
yet they crucified Him.

He was buried in a tomb,
yet He lives today.

I feel honored to serve such a Leader who loves us!

If you believe in God
and in Jesus Christ His Son.


Let someone know of the works of Our Lord JESUS.

Let the whole world appreciate the Lord of Lords.

Do not hesitate to spread the
gospel....

Jesus bless u- Amen!!


With God's Love,

Stay connected to God



I love this analogy

When *GOD* wanted to create the fish, *HE* spoke to the sea, 
when *GOD* wanted to create the trees, *HE* spoke to the earth,
but when *GOD* wanted to create Man, *HE* spoke to Himself.
Then *GOD* said, “Let *US* make Man in Our image, according to Our likeness.

If you Take a fish out of the water, it will die and 
when you take a tree off the ground, it will also die. 
Similarly, when Man is disconnected from *GOD*, he dies.

*GOD* is our natural environment. We were created to live in *HIS* presence. We must be connected to *HIM* because only in *HIM* there is Life.

*STAY CONNECTED* TO God.

The Lord is my programmer and I shall not crash.
He installed His software on the hard disk of my heart.
All of His commands are user friendly.
His Directory guides me to the right choices for His name's sake.
Even though I scroll through the problems of life, I will fear no bugs, for He is my backup.
His password protects me.
He prepares a menu before me in the presence of my enemies.
His help is only a keystroke away.
Surely goodness and mercy will follow me, all the days of my life.
And my file will be merged with His and SAVED FORE EVER!


You Alone need for my whole life Master..
Love you so much JESUS..

It Is Well With My Soul


The song "It Is Well With My Soul" was written by a successful Christian lawyer Heratio Spafford, his only son  died at age 4 in 1871, in 1872, the great Chicago fire wiped out his vast estate made from a successful legal career, in 1873 he sent his wife & 4 daughters over 2 Europe on a summer trip on the ill fated SS Ville Du Havre. Since he had a lot of work to do, he planned to follow them later. The Ship sank & he lost his 4 daughters with the wife being the only survivor. She sent him a famous telegram which simply read, "SAVED ALONE...".  On His return home, his Law firm was burned down and the insurance refused to pay, they said, "It's An Act Of God".  He had no money to pay for his house and no work, he also lost his house.  Then while sitting and thinking what's happening to him, being a spiritual person, he wrote a song - whatever my Lord, you have taught me to say - It is well, it is well with my soul. 

 My dear friend, a good attitude will determine your altitude.  When you look at your life, career, job or family life, what do you say?  Do you praise God? Do you blame the devil?  A good attitude towards God makes Him move on your behalf.  Just sit down and say, Today God, it is well with my soul, I am thankful I had a peaceful sleep, I am thankful I am alive with possibilities, I am thankful I have a roof over my head, I am thankful I have a job, I am thankful that I have a Family and friends.  Above all, I am thankful that I have the Lord Jesus Christ on my side.  Be blessed and don't be envious or shocked when others are prospering because you don't know what they have been through to get there-test, trials and tribulation. So thank God for what you have.  "Little is much when God is in it. It Is Well With My Soul!  Touch someone's  life with this message. If God is for us, who can be against us? God has seen you struggling with something.  God says it's over.  God will bless you. Amen.

Esther

Mind Blowing Poetry


A new minister 

was walking with an older, 
more seasoned minister 
in the garden one day. 

Feeling a bit insecure 
about what God 
had for him to do, 
he was asking the older preacher 
for some advice.

The older preacher 
walked up to a rosebush 
and handed the young preacher 
a rosebud and told him 
to open it 
without tearing off any petals.

The young preacher 
looked in disbelief 
at the older preacher
and was trying to figure out 
what a rosebud 
could possibly have to do 
with his wanting to know 
the will of God 
for his life and ministry. 

But because of his great respect 
for the older preacher, 
he proceeded to try to unfold the rose, 
while keeping every petal intact.

It wasn't long 
before he realized 
how impossible 
this was to do. 

Noticing the younger preacher's inability 
to unfold the rosebud
without tearing it, 
the older preacher 
began to recite 
the following poem... 


"It is only a tiny rosebud, 
A flower of God's design; 
But I cannot unfold the petals 
With these clumsy hands of mine." 

"The secret of unfolding flowers 
Is not known to such as I. 
GOD opens this flower so easily, 
But in my hands they die." 

"If I cannot unfold a rosebud, 
This flower of God's design, 
Then how can I have the wisdom 
To unfold this life of mine?" 

"So I'll trust in God for leading 
Each moment of my day. 
I will look to God for guidance 
In each step of the way."

"The path that lies before me, 
Only my Lord knows. 
I'll trust God to unfold the moments, 
Just as He unfolds the rose."

Breaking Bread


Several years ago, a friend and I were dining in a restaurant's outdoor seating area. As we neared the end of our dinner we noticed a man watching us from the pavement. His clothes were dirty, his face haggard. He walked up to us and with a cracked voice said, "When you finish your meal, if you have any leftovers, would you mind if I ate them?" We invited him to sit down, and we asked the waitress to bring him a grilled chicken and butter pasta entrée. For the next half hour, he told us bits of his story.


As we chatted, there were many truths we could have shared with the man. There were many wise, Biblical words we could have offered. It was obvious to us, however, that what this man needed most was a square meal and genuine conversation with people who cared about who he was - people who were interested in learning the sorrows that had led to his current condition.

After Jesus' resurrection, several disciples returned to fishing. But they weren't catching anything. In a surprising encounter, however, Jesus called out to them from the shore. He instructed them to cast their nets on the opposite side of the boat. They did, and  "they couldn't haul in the net because there were so many fish in it." (John 21:6) When they landed their boat on the shore, a charcoal fire with fish cooking over it awaited them. "Then Jesus served them the bread and the fish." (John 21:13)

I can imagine many things Jesus could have offered. Perhaps a rebuke for their faithlessness in the days surrounding His crucifixion. Yet, as a traditional prayer states, the "blessed Son made Himself known to His disciples in the breaking of bread."

Wherever you're hungry, God will meet you there.

Blessings from the failure


The Law of Wasted Effort

Do you know that lions/ Tigers only succeed in a quarter of their hunting attempts — which means they fail in 75% of their attempts and succeed in only 25% of them.

Despite this small percentage shared by most predators, they don't despair in their pursuit and hunting attempts. 

The main reason for this is not because of hunger as some might think but it is the understanding of the “Law of Wasted Efforts” that have been instinctively built into animals, a law in which nature is governed. 

Half of the eggs of fishes are eaten... half of the baby bears die before puberty... most of the world's rains fall in oceans... and most of the seeds of trees are eaten by birds. 

Scientists have found that animals, trees, and other forces of nature are more receptive to the law of "wasted efforts". 

Only humans think that the lack of success in a few attempts is failure... but the truth is that: we only fail when we "stop trying".

Success is not to have a life free of pitfalls and falls... but success is to walk over your mistakes and go beyond every stage where your efforts were wasted looking forward to the next stage. 

If there is a word that summarizes this world, it will simply be: "Continue!"  All over again.........

Stay Inspired. 👍👍👍🙏🙏

Spend a minute to read it till d end even if you have read it before...


A cruise ship met with an accident at sea, on the ship was a pair of couple, after having made their way to the lifeboat, they realized that there was only space for one person left.


At this moment, the man pushed the woman behind him and jumped onto the lifeboat himself.

The lady stood on the sinking ship and shouted one sentence to her husband.

The teacher stopped and asked, "What do you think she shouted?"

Most of the students excitedly answered, "I hate you! I was blind!"

Now, the teacher noticed a boy who was silent throughout, she got him to answer and he replied, "Teacher, I believe she would have shouted - Take care of our child!"

The teacher was surprised, asking "Have you heard this story before?"

The boy shook his head, "Nope, but that was what my mum told my dad before she died to disease".

The teacher lamented, "The answer is right".

The cruise sunk, the man went home and brought up their daughter single-handedly.

Many years later after the death of the man, their daughter found his diary while tidying his belongings.

It turns out that when parents went onto the cruise ship, the mother was already diagnosed with a terminal illness.

At the critical moment, the father rushed to the only chance of survival.

He wrote in his diary, "How I wished to sink to the bottom of the ocean with you, but for the sake of our daughter, I can only let you lie forever below the sea alone".

The story is finished, the class was silent. 

The teacher knows that the student has understood the moral of the story, that of the good and the evil in the world, there are many complications behind them which are hard to understand. 

Which is why we should never only focus on the surface and judge others without understanding them first.

Those who like to pay the bill, do so not because they are loaded but because they value friendship above money.

Those who take the initiative at work, do so not because they are stupid but because they understand the concept of responsibility.

Those who apologizes first after a fight, do so not because they are wrong but because they value the people around them.

Those who are willing to help you, do so not because they owe you any thing but because they see you as a true friend.

Those who often text you, do so not because they have nothing better to do but because you are in their heart.

One day, all of us will get  separated  from each other; we will miss our conversations of everything & nothing; the dreams that we had. Days will pass by, months, years, until this contact becomes rare...
One day our children will see our pictures and ask 'Who are these people?' And we will smile with invisible tears  because a heart is touched with a strong word and you will say: 'IT WAS THEM THAT I HAD THE BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE WITH'.

Esther

Happiness is not a destination, it's a journey.


This story is about a beautiful, expensively dressed lady who complained to her psychiatrist that she felt that her whole life was empty, it had no meaning.

So, the lady went to visit a counselor to seek out happiness.

The counselor called over the old lady who cleaned the office floors.

The counselor then said to the rich lady "I'm going to ask Mary here to tell u how she found happiness. All I want u to do is listen to her."

So the old lady put down her broom and sat on a chair and told her story:

"Well, my husband died of malaria and three months later my only son was killed by a car. I had nobody. I had nothing left. I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat, I never smiled at anyone, I even thought of taking my own life. Then one evening a little kitten followed me home from work. Somehow I felt sorry for that kitten. It was cold outside, so I decided to let the kitten in. I got some milk, and the kitten licked the plate clean. Then it purred and rubbed against my leg and, for the first time in months, I smiled.

Then I stopped to think, if helping a little kitten could make me smile, may be doing something for people could make me happy.

So, the next day I baked some biscuits and took them to a neighbor who was sick in bed.

Every day I tried to do something nice for someone. It made me so happy to see them happy.

Today, I don't know of anybody who sleeps and eats better than I do. I've found happiness, by giving it to others."

When she heard this, the rich lady cried. She had everything that money could buy, but she had lost the things which money cannot buy.

"The beauty of life does not depend on how happy you are; but on how happy others can be because of you..."

Happiness is not a destination, it's a journey. 

Happiness is not tomorrow, it is now. 

Happiness is not dependency, it is a decision.

Life is vanity without FRIENDS.

 

While a man was polishing his new car, his 6 yr old son picked up a stone and scratched lines on the side of the car. 


In anger, the man took the child's hand and hit it many times; 
not realizing he was using a wrench. 

At the hospital, the child lost all his fingers due to multiple fractures.

When the child saw his father...

with painful eyes he asked, 'Dad when will my fingers grow back?' 

The man was so hurt and speechless; 
he went back to his car and kicked it a lot of times.

Devastated by his own actions.....
sitting in front of that car he looked at the scratches;

the child had written 'LOVE YOU DAD'.

The next day that man committed suicide. . .



Anger and Love have no limits; 
choose the latter to have a beautiful, lovely life.....

Things are to be used and people are to be loved.

But the problem in today's world is that, 

People are used and things are loved.


Things are to be used,
but People are to be loved.

Watch your thoughts; they become words.

Watch your words; they become actions. 

Watch your actions; they become habits.

Watch your habits they become character;

Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

Do u know the relationship between your two eyes?
They blink together, move together, cry together, see things together & sleep together. 

Even though they never see each other.

Friendship should be just like that! 

Life is vanity without FRIENDS.


God bless you.

Regards,
Esther
