When troubled times head your way...
Lean on Him, He'll guide your way
When danger lurks around you
Lean on Him, He'll protect you.
When you're trusting on His promises
Lean on Him He'll prove it in surprises
When you're down by the dumps and no one cares..
Lean on Him, He'll be there.
When reaching for God's highest
Lean on Him to shine the brightest.
"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." (Proverbs 3:5-6)
I am going to North Carolina today...will be back in 2 or 3 days. Till then take care my readers and always remember, God's heart is always open for you.
Jesus Loves you and desires to increase your fellowship with Him. There is no force on earth or in the heaven to separate you from the Love of God. The only one who can separate you from God's Love is "you". Its upto you, how much you want God to take care of you. The Almighty God, the Living God, the Creator of the universe and so much more.
God Bless.

The Lord and I
It is such fun to see and know what my God would do
with a life thats yielded so
knowing that awesome plan is almost here
I missed some stuff in between, but not anymore
No one else knows the secrets between you and me
The wonderful plans you have for me
For a while I had gone astray,
I thought my dreams would fade away
But you caught me in my fall
and made everything beautiful in my life and all
I cherish the promises you give
I'm grateful for your power to forgive
If it wasn't for your kindness and love
I don't think I would have ever come this far above
I love you Lord, now more than before
For all the times, you've been faithful
In never letting me go
Oh I'm excited with my life when its with you
You hold it and mould it..to the best it can be
Thank you Lord for loving me.

In a garden of Life

In a beautiful garden, God planted many wonderful trees and the most colourful flowers. Bees hovered over the flowers, rainbow always decorated the sky tinted with a few purple clouds blown with gentle winds across the blue expanse.
God would personally come and make it rain when the garden needed it, He would make the winds blow to shed off the dry leaves and make the fresh leaves appear on the branches.
Now in this pretty garden there was one unhappy flower, it was a very special with different scents. Every bee in the garden would visit this flower every day to pick up nectar for their honey. And so, over the years the flower had made a large number of friends. This flower had that special ability to love and to be loved.
After a few years flower went to meet God and told Him "God I am not happy being a flower, I want to do something different, the tree has so much fun swaying in the wind...I want to be a tree. God was a little sad about the flower's decision, and tried to convince the flower of his role and how special it is in the flower family. Nothing would change its mind and so God finally agreed to what the flower said and told the flower "Beginning tomorow morning, you will perform duties as a tree". The flower went back satisfied and happy to start his new job the next morning.
In the morning the flower woke up to a lot of noise and commotion which it was'nt used to. It found a few nests lying around its roots and a lot of birds (it seemed ) hovering all over it. The flower was very disturbed by the birds and wanted to shoo them away, but the birds told the flower how the trees give them shelter. The flower remembered and offered the birds to leave their nests by its roots.As the day progressed the flower waited for its bee friends to come and meet him like always , but nobody came. It waited and waited but no one came but a tired little bee who was looking for some shade from the bright afternoon sun. The bee settled down under one of the petals of the flower hoping it would get some help from it, but it did not work and the sun could still reach the bee. Tired and weary the bee left, without even so much as looking at the flower.The flower called out to the bee, but it was too late the bee had already left.By evening a gentle breeze was blowing across the garden, all the trees rustled the leaves and swayed with the wind, now was the little flower's turn to enjoy the swaying and so it tried,but could not move. All the birds had kept their nests around its roots, morever its petals were not strong enough to wave gently but were almost fluttering like a flag to the point of being plucked out of the stem. The flower didn't enjoy the swaying as it had thought it would.
Later the flower went to meet God and asked for His pardon for asking to become a tree, and confessed how grateful it was to have been a flower. God smiled and said" Dear FLower I made you for a special purpose, you propagate the flower species and provide nectar for the bees to make honey. The bears in the forest love the honey made from your nectar. I made you for duties no one else can do like you and no one can enjoy it like you do when you are at work". The flower realised its mistake of trying to become something God did not intend for it to be and thereby losing all its joy and peace and even friends. God made the little changes and the flower returned more cheerful than ever to have got back what its purpose of living.
Many a times we watch certain other people's lives and wonder why couldnt I do something like that. One of my friend's thinking is" If you can do it, so can I". I dont know how far that philosophy goes, but to my knowledge it doesnt go anywhere except towards someone trying hard to become something they were never meant to be as per God's divine plan. We go through a lot of pains and struggle to change ourselves to become somebody we wanted to be and end up being more unhappy than we were before. God has given us inherent abilities which only we can tap out and use as no one else can. It only lies in finding what it is and how do I use it best, and the best guidance we can ever get about our purpose in Life is from the One who created Life. Yes God.
"Dear God, I pray that you will help me understand and reach the full potential of my purpose in Life. Please help me to listen to your voice and obey it, so that Your perfect plan for my Life will be done and I will be a blessing to everyone I meet. In Jesus Name I ask. Amen"
