It burdens my heart...

I just saw a post this evening and it spurred me to write this: Jesus Christ came to earth so many years ago and He was born of a virgin. He came for the salvation of mankind. For this reason, the most quoted Bible verse reads :"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."(John 3:16) There is a lot of controversy about 25th of December being or not being the day Christ was born and also that the Scriptures did not instruct us to celebrate His birth. But let me ask: Is it wrong to celebrate God's gift to mankind? Why are you  bothered about controversies that will lead us nowhere. Christ came to reconcile us to God. Why then are we trying to pull the church apart with controversies and divisions when we should dwell on what truly matters- One Faith, One Lord, One Hope, One Baptism. The church is The Body of Christ and not just denominations, doctrines, beliefs, what your pastor says or what your parents tell you. Read God's word and know His will. Reconcile people to God with the message of love and Salvation and stop searing people's minds with human reasoning and controversies. Jesus loves us and wants us to have a relationship with God. I celebrate the birth of Christ on the 25th but you don't does not mean Jesus loves me any less or loves you more neither does it mean Jesus loves you less and loves me more. God is one! Also, please if you do not share in my religious beliefs, let us not forget that God Almighty created each and everyone of us differently for a purpose. I will not making hurting and senseless comments about your belief so do not do that about mine also. I do not and will not force anyone to accept salvation as offered by the death and resurrection of Christ but I strongly believe that God loves each and everyone of us and does not desire that any should perish. I pray for the salvation of the unsaved and will still do but for now, let us all remain in peace. Merry Christmas from me to you.

Happy New Year readers! It's been an amazing one year break. It was totally worth it. I am really grateful to God for everything. To Him be praise and glory, now and forever more.

I'll make sure to do my part through this blog and my sincere prayer is that we all will grow into the fullness of the stature of Christ.

I am not a sporty person, though I am thinking of trying out at something new. I remember when I was in secondary school. Every Saturday morning, before the morning prayers,

Thankfulness

Oh! How much we love the words THANK YOU, PLEASE and SORRY. It is part of etiquette and politeness. I have a friend who is very good at it. She says these words as frequent as she says I. This little act of courtesy really moves me. I like it a lot. Though it was a little bit hard for me to practice and also took a long time for me to get used to it. When I finally did, I felt wonderful. It was nice and pleasing to be around people saying those three things clearly and boldly. I gained the respect and friendliness of a lot of people. A good attitude begins with gratitude. As these three things are essential in our daily dealings with our neighbours so are they important in our relationship with God. In fact they are the most important words in our prayer. Remember our pattern of prayer should be like this: Thank God for His providence (THANK YOU) Ask for Forgiveness (SORRY) State your request (PLEASE) Conclude with thanking Him again Yes, it is the same thing. After all, y
