Circles of life

Circle the two directional figure has a lot to teach us. Either be it used in a 3d object like wheels or explaining the concept of sin "Circle of sin". Even zero of a Circle. Circle in itself is infinite number of dots aligned together.

Circle of life in terms of rebirth is a Belief system with flaws. If life is a product of one's good deeds vs bad deeds. Then what has one done to earn his first birth? It is logically impossible.

Learnings from mistakes

God allows us to choose life, he has given us the freedom to choose him.

In the story of Progidal son, Father didn't go out to search for the son. God is sovereign over every situation in our life.

Let Love be your motivation for all that you do for others

1 Corinthians 14:1

Let love be your highest goal! But you should also desire the special abilities the Spirit gives—especially the ability to prophesy. 


We do things with ulterior motives. Anything not done with Love will become a burden. Our Relationship with one another, our work and duties. Etc

Why Love should be the ultimate motivator? Look at the Cross, look at the person of Jesus. For God so Loved... He demonstrated his Love for us by dying on cross for us, yet when we were sinners Christ died for us.

God's Love for us is beautifully explained in Bible, expressed by Jesus on the cross. Jesus' command for us is to Love, his motivation to die on the Cross was for Love. 

We know Love by Jesus, because today the world has distorted this concept. Love is not about possessions about another, but sacrificial. It is not selfish as to what one gets in it, but selfless what one can give to another. Jesus expressed this to his disciples as, no greater Love than this to lay down one's life for his friends.

So, we too must watchout what our motivating factor next time when we say, "I Love You".

God teach us to Love one another as you have loved, you don't love their sin, but you Love the person. May we be also Love one another for who they are. Without prejudices or other motives. But, let Love guide us to do whatever we do for others.

Failures as strongst stones of success

Not always, Failures for some leads to a disappointed life, it leads them to stop trying. This is for those who Fear and have no Faith. But, it's the other way for those who have Faith. It's their prespective on things. How do we look at things? Do we have a Positive Mind frame?

Israel failed to follow God's command, their disobedience led then to fail in many ways. They lost battles with enemy, their Kings became morally corrupt, they fell into idol worship etc. But, God turns everything for his Glory. For Ex:
Romans 11:11 
New International Version
Again I ask: Did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Not at all! Rather, because of their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel envious.

God reflects his anger over Israel's turn from his original plan.

Isaiah 5:7
The vineyard of the Lord Almighty
    is the nation of Israel,
and the people of Judah
    are the vines he delighted in.
And he looked for justice, but saw bloodshed;
    for righteousness, but heard cries of distress.

So, let us consider the failures as a stepping stone of success. Because, God is Good and Holy. If we learn from our failures. He will show a way where he worked for something Greater Good as in the case of Joseph.

Genesis 50:20 

New International Version
You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.


God teacher us in our failures, he will never let any circumstances overcome his will. In his Sovernity he makes everything beautiful and most importantly meaningful.

God Bless this day with your intentions. With your plans. When we fail. Please allow us to reflect on what lesson you are teaching, what Good and Greater Purposes you have for us. May we be every Thanking you even in our Failures Lord. Thank You

Welcome!
