You get the chicken only by hatching the egg, not by smashing it. The key to everything is patience. We have to learn to be patient in every situation because it is one of the signs that we are the followers of Christ. By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things. Galatians 5:22-23 NRSV The ungodly do not have any reason to wait, but we as the children

For Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, in order to bring you to God. He was put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit. 1 Peter 3:18 NRSV Today is a significant day in the life of every believer in Christ, to reminisce the day of crucifixion. From the Gethsemane garden to the calvary cross, the path Jesus took was one filled with torture and humiliation from the very people for whom He was carrying the cross. He showcas

How amazing is it? That the King over all creations came down in the form of a humble infant to gift us His salvation! We

But if Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. Romans 8:10 NRSV Being raised in a Christian family, I was always restricted from doing certain things. At times I’ve felt like I am not living a normal life. No movie nights, restricted from staying late at a friend’s place, should never miss church or any fellowship...this list is never-ending. I never really understood the importance of all these boundaries until I

I treasure your word in my heart, so that I may not sin against you. Psalms 119:11 NRSV Before I experienced God’s love when I heard the above verse it made no sense to me. I wondered how a verse, a phrase from the Bible could keep me away from sin. But now, it has become my shield, a source of strength, my bread and butter. His word reminds me that I belong to Him. It made sense when I applied it in my life, even today when I fight with the sins of the world, I just recite,

I have seen a lot of people who always come with a list of sorrows and needs into the presence of God. For them, prayer is all about God listening to all their stories and not letting Him talk, it’s always about them! I guess we all need to remind ourselves that, God wants to communicate with us. Prayer is not a monologue, but a dialogue, God’s voice in response to mine is the most essential part of Prayer” -Andrew Murray Sometimes we forget that God can talk! So many questio

This is the day the Lord has made, Let us rejoice and be happy today! Psalm 118:24 ERV The Bible tells us that each one of us were fearfully and wonderfully made. Our Father loves us so much that Jesus gave every one who believes in Him the right to become the children of God. As ones with faith, how often have we tried to reflect Jesus in our lives? Do our thoughts, actions and words reflect the love and kindness that Christ had taught us? In the same way, you should be a li

So he went with him. And a large crowd followed him and pressed in on him. Now there was a woman who had been suffering from hemorrhages for twelve years. She had endured much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had; and she was no better, but rather grew worse. She had heard about Jesus, and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, for she said, “If I but touch his clothes, I will be made well.” Immediately her hemorrhage stopped, and she felt in

I have said this to you, so that in me you may have peace. In the world you face persecution. But take courage; I have conquered the world!” John 16:33 NRSV Storms in life are inevitable!

Mark 11:23‭-‬24 CEV Faith opens the door to Miracles Aren't we all too good at worrying? Too often we think about the question "What's Next?" And that turns out to be our biggest fear sometimes.

You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely. Psalms 139:1‭-‬4 NIV I used to feel good about the fact that no one knows me fully, at least that is how I thought for a long time. But God proved it all wrong. He said Nah-uh! I know who you are, I can see everything you

We might feel rejected, ruined, and even wrestle with our own flesh. We have no idea about how precious we are in the sight of God. The life that we live now is by His Grace and He Created us out of His Love. We might have ruined our life by our own decisions or by allowing others to decide for us. We often fail to rely on Him, and we have no idea about how much it would upset Him. I have always felt guilty and shameful for the things that I had done. But God renewed and rede
