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.

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...

I am who I am

In the Bible it is mentioned that God said " I am who I am ! " What is the meaning of this. God is supreme!  It becomes so powerful phrase when God says I am who I am! He is the same forever, no changes. In the Bible it's also mentioned that "The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit." In Proverbs 18:21. So, in short , you become what you say!  Always speak positive about yourself.  If you say, I am Lazy, you become lazy! You are choosing your own fruit, chose it wisely. If you say, I am blessed, I am good , Complete I am with positive notes and Replace I can't with I can!  You will feel the difference!  Let's try this in our lives, Fill I am with positivity and replace I can't with I can !  I am who I am!
