Shame

Shame:


If there is anything I want to avoid in life its "Shame". But being a christian, I realize that when we follow Jesus, shame is inevitable. When I have a worldly view of shame, it can cripple me and honestly, it does. 

You see when we follow Jesus, we face strange trials. These trials can make us feel shameful. Shame often leads me to being angry, blaming others and being bashful. But you see shame is good. 

Jesus, the Son of God had to endure insults and shame Himself. When we face shame, it appears to be the end of us. But shame is not the end of us. God has a way of redeeming us through shame. So I will wait on God in my shame and wait for the redemption He has in store for me. Amen.


My soul waits for the Lord
Like one who has fallen,
Who has lost all hope.
My soul trusts in Him,
And I will be redeemed
Shame puts me down,

A REAL LIFE TESTIMONY

  A REAL LIFE TESTIMONY : He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; he seats them with princes and has them inherit a throne of honor. "For the foundations of the earth are the LORD's; on them he has set the world. 1 Samuel 2:8   There was a name sake Christian girl in her pre-teens. A strange problem affected her every night. She was not able to go to sleep with the rest of the family. She was afraid for no reason. She heard someone call her name in the night. It was a kind voice. It was loving. She knew that it was Jesus calling her wanting to talk to her. But she felt so sinful and told him, “Oh Jesus, don’t call me. I am not good enough for you”.   She didn’t know Him well. Eventually she stopped hearing His voice. And after that sin seeking an opportunity came into her life. First, it was came in the guise of innocent Back street boys and Westlife. But it slowly became Linkin Park and Evenescence and a lot more. She didn’t feel l...

A strange Problem

 A strange problem: While growing up, I felt stuck and crushed by my self righteous cousin. It was hard. On the outside, she had the reputation of a perfect christian but on the other side she was jealous and evil in everyway towards those near her. That was bewildering. Born to a mom of CSI denomination and a dad of Catholic denomination, I found my cousins diabolic nature very disturbing and my cousin came from my mom's side. When I got saved in the summer of my 10th grade, I had the choice to choose between the 2 denominations and I chose to be a Catholic because of the horrible experience with my cousin sister.  But when I went to college, I met a person called Shyba. She was a CSI christian, but she was unlike my cousin. She was truthful and sincere. She told me that Jesus was all she had and she didn't want to lose Him ever. Those words pierced my heart and slowly as our friendship grew, I knew I had to embrace Jesus and not hold on to any denomination. I went to Assembl...

TRAVELER DIARIES: There once was a traveler journeying in quest of the heavenly city. And this was his little experience: The Traveler's Dilemma: "Oh! My heart is so weary and burdened Am I going in the right way? Maybe I need to change the route This pathway is making my life so miserable I wonder what can relieve my heart of the pain it is enduring I do not know  But I am tired of the long journey that I made today And the day is almost done Let me rest here beside the road for the night" said the traveler to himself. His heart ached because of the miseries of the journey. Yet, his body needed rest and he fell asleep. Moreover, the Master of the Heavenly city gave a good sleep for all his children traveling along the road that led to His city. The Traveler's Surprise: The morning came and the traveler's alarm just woke him up from his deep sleep. And to his delight, he found a cup of warm tea near his backpack. He drank it with great thankfulness and to his utte...
