Drop that Stone

-
At times, we carry grievance or hurt in us about someone or something that it insidiously drags us down emotionally or otherwise.
We forget that God has forgiven us much more than we can comprehend. 
A look at MATTHEW 18:21-19:1.
The Lord forgave the servant owing him huge sum of money; but the servant who was forgiven in a split moment forgot what just took place in his life.
In that parable, Jesus emphasized on forgiveness as having no measurement or limit. Some versions of the Bible puts it as Seventy-seven. Some put it as Seventy times seven. Whatever it is, the Lord wants us to forgive as much as we can. He forgives us as many times, even before we ask; we must do the same. 
Truth be told that it is not an easy thing, but we got to start somewhere.

Whatever we have experienced from someone that is really hurting deeply, let us run to the throne of grace to seek his power to let go. Remember, no one is completely perfect as not to hurt another. As long as human beings keep life together, we must experience our differences. So when we carry hurt, let us think deeply that we may have hurt someone somewhere oblivious of it.
 It is not by human effort or power, forgiveness is a Divine experience and so we need God's grace to go about it. 

Remember, the more we carry grudges or hate or disappointments, we keep carrying a heavy stone on our palms. That Stone will continue to hurt and go heavier if we do not drop it. 
DROP THAT STONE AND LET IT GO.

Body and Blood of Jesus Christ.

It is a privilege to have the Blessed Sacrament with us.  For love of us, before Christ departed the world, he thought of remaining with us to keep us and shield us in the Holy Eucharist, in the form of bread and wine. In our unworthiness, he chooses to stay with us to make us clean. What a love and opportunity given us.  We must search ourselves deeply and look out for that thing that hinders us from receiving Holy Communion. Nothing is worth this great feast and blessing. Nothing! Whatever it is, return back to the Eucharist. The food of life for the journey.  As we take the physical food so importantly, so too we must take the spiritual food so importantly. We ask for mercy for the times we received him unworthily. We ask mercy for the times we doubted his presence in the depths of our hearts. May he help us attain an in-depth love of him as we receive him daily.  May we become what we eat.

SILENCE: SEEDBED FOR THE SOUL

Silence is a language that mediates an encounter with the living God. For those who are trying to figure out where God is calling them to serve, some silent times will offer clarity about their desires and future. Our busy noisy world most times shut us from perceiving the silent beauty of things.  Silence is a language that enables us to understand what God might be saying and once that language is learned, communicating becomes very comfortable. Silence is your passport. With it you can break territories very fertile for you. With it, you discover the hidden treasures.  God constantly sends waves, but we need the Spiritual Antenna to pick up the waves. Silence is the Antenna. The waves are God's words and movements. Silence is not so easy but it is attainable with efforts and practise. Keep tuning to pick up the waves and you will see the Godseed in you develop and make impact in our society. Elijah discovered God in silent breeze. (1 Kings 19: 9-15). Jesus retre...

Stand up and Say No

Crime keeps increasing and morality decreasing Women are taken for granted at times for no faults of their own Who ever chose their gender when God was creating? Why then would some people go through trauma untold. A woman is a beautiful creature of God Meant to be a life-giver beyond words But are they now just sex-objects for fun Or they are to be help mates in all? She is molested and raped because she is a woman She is blamed for childlessness in marriage because she is a woman She is accused of the same infidelity her husband is guilty of because she is a woman She is seen as too hard when she speaks out because she is a woman. The world will be more beautiful if all women are treated right, Cos Life gives you back what you give to it. If women are treated with respect Peace and harmony will take its' stead. Women, say no to been silenced after sexual abuse Why keep quiet and the abuser thrives in evil The abuser grows in chains of abuse Inflicting more pains like a Devil. Eno...
