Go where you are Valued

They said - Go where you are valued, so I ran back to God. Why did I run back to God and not towards God?  God knew me since I was in the womb of my mother. When I came into this world , I met different people since my birth.  My mother, father, brother, friends , relatives, classmates, colleagues, neighbors, spouse.  But, do all of them value me? No! I didn't come across even one person in my life who gave value to me.  When I felt that, I had to run back to God who knew me. The only one God who valued me.  I had to run back to Him.  Go where you are valued!

Count Your Blessings!


Count Your Blessings!
There is a song which goes like this – “Count your blessings, name them one by one; and it will surprise you what the Lord hath done!” Have we ever counted our blessings in our life? We do count our curses instead. We are here only to blame and count our “n” number of problems.

 Now, let’s start counting our blessings starting from the beginning of the day.
  1.    Have you woken up today by swiping the snooze or turning off the alarm in your mobile? If so, then it’s the first blessing that you have received for the day. Many haven’t!

2.       Did you get up from the bed all by yourself and walk? If so, it’s the second blessing that you have received for the day. Many didn’t!

3.       Did you drink water/milk/tea and had your breakfast? If so, it’s the third blessing that you have received for the day. Many haven’t.

6.       Have you started to work/study? Work from home or office/school? If so, it’s the sixth blessing you have received for the day. Many haven’t.

7.       Is there money/card in your wallet to buy groceries/vegetables? If so, it’s your seventh blessing for the day. Many don’t have.

8.       Were you able to speak to your friends/colleague? If so, it’s your eighth blessing for the day. Many haven’t.

Ask Seek Knock

  Matthew 7:7  ► Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. What does this verse mean?  Whom to ask? If I have to ask God, I have too many to ask, is God listening?  Yes, During this Lent, I have got too many questions to ask God.  Why me? What's my purpose here on earth? Why am I living here? Why did you create me as human? Human beings are fools, No, Eve shouldn't have eaten that fruit which you had denied , maybe you knew the consequences very well and that's why you had denied.  But why did you create that fruit? If animals would have eaten that fruit it would have been better, the world would have remained the same how you had created, then this earth itself would have been heaven. Hope that fruit with knowledge should have been replaced with wisdom.  Let me ask a final question, I dont want to be a human with knowledge , who is arrogant and proud because of it, but instead grant me wisdom with...

Girls are not Guests

  Being born as a girl in our country which is rich in its culture is a burden to many families.  True, when a girl child is born, parents just worry about savings which will be spent for her marriage.  A married girl is considered as a guest in her own house after marriage since she is married to other family.  But, the truth is even in that family she will not be accepted as their own. Now, the generation has changed where a girl child is no more a burden by making her independent focusing on her career and growth. Still, the so called society targets girls as burden to their family if she is not married. What if she is not happy with her married life and comes to stay at her parents house? She will become a burden to them again.  To all this generation and the future generations, if a girl child is born, be happy, make her independent by focusing your savings on her education and not her marriage. Build a small house for her where she cannot be a ...

Father - The Family Man

Who is a Father? Why is a Father known as head of the family? Have heard more about motherhood, mother's love, but haven't heard about fatherhood, father's love. Why? There is a saying that a mother carries the child in her womb for 9 months, but a Father carries the whole family on his head for life time. Hence he is known as the head of the family - The Family Man A Father is a hero for his son, first love for his daughter and soulmate for his wife.  A Father leads his family with too many responsibilities and burdens, yet, his family will not know the burden he carries.  There are many cases of heart attacks in most of the men not women. Why?  Women shares everything, cries and will come out of the worries soon. But, a man doesn't share his worries, keeps it to himself. We will not know the loss unless we experience the loss of a loved one. Yes, so true. I have experienced the loss of my beloved Father. Now, I can feel how a loss is. Mixed emotions, angry...
