In the Nazi camp Corrie ten boom said “When I look at the world iam distressed and when I look within myself im depressed . Only when I look at Christ im at rest ”. Today, Our messages are spiritless; Our communication become wireless; Relationships are meaningless; Terrorism has become ruthless; Our generation Godless; Altogether life seems purposeless. Oh like fish out of water! Christ red letter words is still alive to us in this post modern era. Christ says in Mat 11:28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” what a real comfort for all who respond to this invitation. Those who come to him will not wander without purpose rather walk with purpose in life. Iam truly the recipient of this promised rest. Taste and see that the Lord is good. God bless.

If God has planned out life for everyone why do we want to choose Death? Or in other words, when God has planned best for each one of us why do we want to bring it to end abruptly.

As people of God what really measures our growth? Does our spirituality very much showing a stunted growth? If then, let’s consider this acronym seriously and let God speak to our hearts. G - Get to know God personally. Paul says in Phil 3:10 “I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection...” Is that our desire in this post modern era? Do we just know the Christianity of Christ? Or do we know the Christ of Christianity? Let’s take time to know him personally in our lives. R - Responding to God in prayer. Prayer is the language of the soul where we can talk to God in an intimate way. Just being silent in his presence is also prayer. But let’s ask ourselves do I pray? O - Obedience to God’s word. 1 Sam 15:22 says “Obedience is better than sacrifice”. God delights when his people obey h

Call to persevere: God wants us to persevere as we live our lives in this world, so that we have the sense of purpose in our living. Perseverance develops character. And character is more important than our career in God’s economy. Scriptures from the beginning to the end tells us how people persevered both in Old as well as in the New Testament. Someone said like this from” Womb to tomb we cry”. That’s the power of suffering. Let’s rejoice in our salvation and in the blessed hope of our Lord’s coming that all our sorrows end one day. No more tears in Heaven. What is perseverance? Perseverance is commitment, hard work, patience, endurance. Perseverance is being able to bear difficulties calmly and without complaint.
