Speaking out everything in your heart? Think again.

 


Speaking out everything in your heart? Think again.


Jesus was not a kind of person who spoke whatever was in his heart. He spoke whatever His Father told him to speak. 

He was a complete man because he bridled his tongue. 

Some people mean no harm. They just speak all the thoughts that enter their heart and mind. They are very transparent or maybe innocent. They can not keep secrets. There is nothing wrong in that right? I am not sure. Jesus in many occasions couldn't share some things with the disciples because he knew they could not bear them. They were not ready. Like wise it is not good to tell everything to everybody. Because we don't know how they will take it. Keeping your mouth shut and keeping things in your heart is best many times. There was a beautiful character in Mary, the mother of Jesus. The Bible in many instances says she treasured it in her heart. She didn't tell anybody. Only when Luke personally enquired her concerning Jesus birth she opened up. Good things or bad things are best when kept in our heart. 


But sometimes keeping many hurtful things in our heart can make us feel depressed. That's why we need to go to God and cry and share it with him. When we cry to him he will understand. He will comfort us with His words and give us promises to hope for. Sometimes He might lead us to forgive those who hurt us because only then we can be free and happy. Maybe at times we may even need deliverance from hurt and only He, the Divine healer can heal. He is a God who restores and renews everything. He is the God who makes the almost dead looking trees of the winter burst out into a true beauty of life in the spring. There is nothing so hard for him.


So shhhh.....


But there are some things that need to be spoken. The gospel needs to be spoken about. The works or deeds of God in our life needs to be spoken about. The testimony of our lives need to be spoken about. 


Hmmm....


Dear God,

Help me. I am only falling back each time you try to pick me up. When I need to keep quiet I have spoken. When I need to speak I have kept quiet. When I need to cry out to you I have cried out to others. Never do I want to be the same. 


In Jesus name. 

Amen.

FAITHFUL

 FAITHFUL               Who is like you,  Lord   God Almighty?        You,  Lord , are mighty, and your faithfulness surrounds you.                Psalms 89: 8              Love and Faithfulness are like two sides of the coin when we think of God's character. He is full of love and He is a very faithful person.             How do you imagine God when you think of Him? I imagine God like the One that Ezekiel saw in a vision. Ezekiel 1: 26, 27 Above the vault over their heads was what looked like a throne of lapis lazuli, and high above on the throne was a figure like that of a man.   I saw that from what appeared to be his waist up he looked like glowing metal, as if full of fire, and that from there down he looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded him. Ezekiel saw God in His glory. God had the appearance of man yet glowing in brilliance. Remember He made us in His image! Here is a picture to boost your imagination!

The Purpose

Image
THE PURPOSE God's creation                    God's creation is beautiful. Genesis 1 briefs how God created different things in 6 days  and he rested on day 7.                 Genesis 1: 1-3               In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, "Let there be light" and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and morning were the first day.             God saw there was a need. It says that the earth was formless, empty and dark. When God saw the need, He started to do something about it. He spoke and light appeared. God was pleased and called the light as "day" and the darkness as "Night".                 1. God sees a need.                2.

The Journey

Image
                                                                                            The Journey At birth, a baby travels from its mother's womb and comes into this world. As it grows, it transitions from the loving confines of its home to school then to college, workplace, setting up a household and raising up children of its own kind and then becomes old and departs from this Earth. It’s a journey every human being undertakes. It’s a journey that everyone is familiar with. But do you know there is another journey we all travel?             Just as our flesh has its own course, so also the spirit that God kept inside of us has a course to run. I like to call it "The Journey of Faith". The journey of our flesh will come to an end when we die. But the spirit has an eternal journey to undertake.           This journey appears in the Bible for the first time in Genesis 12, when God calls our father Abraham to go to the land which He shows him.    Genesis 12: 1
