Happy Easter

Beloved, Happy and blessed Easter!

Easter celebrates the resurrection of Jesus, which Christians believe occurred on the third day after HIS crucifixion.

God Who resurrected Jesus Christ to life from the dead, will also resurrect your circumstances to joy and peace. Lord Jesus will be with you to the end and guide you in life. Amen :)

GOD BLESS YOU!

Good Friday

Beloved! Today, the Good Friday is observed all across the world in commemoration of the sufferings of Jesus Christ and His victory over satan at the cross.

The Bible speaks of the sufferings that Jesus went through for us to redeem us from sin. He was humiliated by the Roman soldiers, whipped, spat at and suffered many other tortures to bring good upon us. It was the will of the Heavenly Father to subject His Son to suffer so that we would be set free from our sins and its consequences.

"For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life." - John 3:16

Who is Jesus Christ and what HE did for us?

Jesus Christ was God in the flesh, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin. Jesus Christ is Son of God! Jesus Christ was without sin, but He was crucified for the sins of the whole world.

Christ Is Someone To Know And Trust Jesus Christ is more than a system, tradition, or belief. He is a Person who knows our needs, feels our pain, and sympathizes with our weakness. In exchange for our trust, He offers to forgive our sins, to intercede for us, and to bring us to His Father. He cried for us, died for us, and rose from the dead to show that He was all He claimed to be. Conquering death, He showed us that He can save us from our sins, live His life through us on earth, and then bring us safely to heaven. He offers Himself as a gift to anyone who will trust and follow Him ( John 20:24-31).

Jesus lived to die. HE lived a holy life and fulfilled Heavenly Father's desire by crucifying HIMSELF on the cross. The soldiers made a crown from sharp and long thorns and put on HIS head. They hit and mocked HIM with their fists. Jesus carried HIS cross to the Skull Hill, the place HE will be crucified. They nailed HIS hands and feets on the cross. Before Jesus gave HIS spirit, HE prayed fervently to Heavenly Father to forgive the people's sins and said "It is finished" and gave up HIS Spirit. As HE said, HE rose from death after three days and went to Heavenly Father. - John 19

Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life. We are sinners and are far away from God. Jesus Christ gave up HIS life to cleanse our sins and give us eternal life when we accept HIM as our personal saviour.

Amen. Halleluyah! Praise the Lord for what HE did for us! God bless you!

The Lord Loves You

THE LORD LOVES YOU
- Sis. Stella Dhinakaran

For the Lord takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation. (Psalm 149:4)

Beloved! There is someone Who loves us dearly more than anyone else in this world. We may go through various problems, losses, people may forsake us but the Lord will never forsake us. When we reciprocate His love and say, "My beloved is mine, and I am his" (Songs of Solomon 2:16), then He will fulfill the desires of our hearts (Psalm 37:4).

Some of us even after accepting Lord Jesus Christ as our personal Saviour and tasting His love fail to give Him the first place in our lives. We give importance to human relationships than to God. This is what the Bible says, "Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness" (Matthew 6:33). We must give the Lord His due place, the first place in our lives. Then He shall redeem us from all evil and make us His own and shower His love and blessings upon us.

When we become His own people, He will be our Father and will dwell in our hearts and home (2 Corinthians 6:16, 18).

A family was blessed with two daughters. The elder daughter was beautiful and good in studies. Her parents loved her more than their younger daughter. The younger daughter was neither beautiful nor intelligent and so her parents did not take any pride in her. She always wondered and said, “Why did God create me like this? Her college friend was a God fearing girl who shared the love of God and both used to pray whenever they had time. Soon, she made Lord Jesus as the Lord of her life. She was filled with the divine joy and happiness. She excelled in studies and got many degrees. She got married to a God fearing man earlier than her sister.

Beloved! The Lord desires us to give Him the first place in our lives. When we do so, He will make us His own and shower abundant blessings on us.

Prayer:

Loving Heavenly Father,

I praise and thank You for Your everlasting love. Father, forgive me for not giving You the first place in my life. Give me grace to give You the first place in my life and lead a life pleasing to You. Make me Your own and bless me with the blessings You have for Your people. Redeem me from evil and give me grace to experience Your everlasting love. In Jesus’ name I pray.

Amen.

How to Be Like Mother Teresa

1. Do what you love.

Agnes felt that God was calling her to the sisterhood to serve the poor. She consulted experts and the priests at her church to help understand her feelings. “If you are happy with the idea that God calls you to serve him and your neighbor,” Agnes recalled being told by a priest, “this will be the proof of your vocation. Profound joy of the heart is like a magnet that indicates the path of life.”

2. Read constantly.

Reading helped Agnes understand the plight of India’s poor. Her constant efforts to learn gave her greater depth and wisdom.

3. Accept no limitations for your life.

Sister Teresa had a desire to serve the poor more fully than the Catholic Church would permit. It seems certain she would have left the Church had she not been granted the privilege of exclaustration and per­mission to form a new order. “I again experienced a call to renounce everything and to follow Christ into the slums, to serve the poorest of the poor,” she wrote. “I understood that God wanted something from me…the message was quite clear: I was to leave the convent and help the poor whilst living among them. It was an order. I knew where I belonged.”

4. Don’t be afraid to ask for what you need.

Starting alone, Mother Teresa built the Missionaries of Charity into a worldwide organization through organization through persistent fund-raising efforts. She boldly asked for money and medical supplies to help the poor.

5. Clearly define what you want to accomplish.

Mother Teresa added a fourth vow to be taken by the Missionaries of Charity: “To give wholehearted and free service to the poorest of the poor. . . . If you don’t have the zeal to help the poor, to take good care of the lepers, then [you] should pack up and go home. . . . no need to stay.”

6. Set an example.

The most effective way to lead is by example. Mother Teresa asked her sisters to take their vow of poverty farther than those in the convent to help them understand the “poorest of the poor.” She said: “If we really want to know the poor, we must know what poverty is. . . . It is why in our society, poverty is our freedom and our strength.”

7. Be cheerful even if you don’t feel like it.

Even if you have problems in your life that make you unhappy, present a cheerful demeanor to the outside world. That doesn’t mean you are ignoring your prob­lems. Rather, you are putting yourself in the best pos­sible frame of mind to solve them. One of Mother Teresa’s conditions in accepting a prospective sister into her order was that she have a “cheerful disposi­tion.” Mother Teresa said, “A cheerful giver is a great giver.” Mother Teresa was known for her warm greeting and powerful smile that conveyed her great love and caring. “Let us always greet each other with a smile, for a smile is the beginning of love,” she said.

8. Care about those in need.

Mother Teresa became, in the words of United Nations General Secretary Javier Perez de Cuellar, “the most powerful woman in the world,” because she cared for those in need. “The biggest disease today is not lep­rosy or cancer or tuberculosis,” Mother Teresa said, “but rather the feeling of being unwanted, uncared for, deserted by everybody. The greatest evil is the lack of love and charity, the terrible indifference towards one’s neighbor….”

9. Learn by experience.

Mother Teresa said to her helpers and volunteers: “Discover ... through direct contact. Go to Kalighat, the Home for the Dying, and learn your lessons, not out of a book, but in the rough and tumble of life, among real people….”

10. Write letters.

Written communications, especially thank-you notes, are a powerful way to make a lasting impres­sion. Florence Nightingale, Clara Barton, Eleanor Roosevelt and Margaret Thatcher were all great letter writers. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher said: “I have always believed in the impact of a personal handwrit­ten letter—even from someone you barely know.”

11. Don’t let age slow you down.

Mother Teresa had suffered three serious heart attacks by the time she was eighty-five and had a pace­maker, but she refused to slow down. “I’ve never said no to Jesus,” she said, “and I’m not going to begin now. Every day you have to say yes.”

12. Speak from your heart.

“I make a little cross on my lips with my thumb; then I look straight forward above the audience and deliver my message,” Mother Teresa told Father Le Joly about her speaking style.

13. Stay humble.

A world figure and the recipient of a Nobel Peace Prize, Mother Teresa didn’t get carried away with her­self. She credited God and Jesus for what she and the Missionaries of Charity accomplished, and saw herself as God’s vessel. “I am surer of this than of my own life,” she said.

True Love

From the very Beginning, the girl's family objected strongly on her dating this guy. Saying that it has got to do with family background & that the girl will have to suffer for the rest of her life if she were to be with him.Due to family's pressure, the couple quarrel very often.

Though the girl love the guy deeply, but she always ask him: "How deep is your love for me?" As the guy is not good with his words, this often cause the girl to be very upset. With that & the family's pressure, the girl often vent her anger on him. As for him, he only endure it in silence.

After a couple of years, the guy finally graduated & decided to further his studies in overseas. Before leaving, he proposed to the girl: "I'm not very good with words. But all I know is that I love you. If you allow me, I will take care of you for the rest of my life.

As for your family, I'll try my best to talk them round. Will you marry me?"The girl agreed, & with the guy's determination, the family finally gave in & agreed to let them get married. So before he leave, they got engaged.

The girl went out to the working society, whereas the guy was overseas, continuing his studies. They sent their love through emails & phone calls. Though it's hard, but both never thought of giving up.

One day, while the girl was on her way to work, she was knocked down by a car that lost control. When she woke up, she saw her parents beside her bed. She realized that she was badly injured. Seeing her mum crying, she wanted to comfort her. But she realized that all that could come out of her mouth was just a sigh. She has lost her voice......The doctors says that the impact on her brain has caused her to lose her voice. Listening to her parents' comfort, but with nothing coming out from her, she broke down.

During the stay in hospital, besides silence cry,.....it's still just silence cry that companied her. Upon reaching home, everything seems to be the same. Except for the ringing tone of the phone. Which pierced into her heart every time it rang. She does not wish to let the guy know. & not wanting to be a burden to him, she wrote a letter to him saying that she does not wish to wait any longer. With that, she sent the ring back to him. In return, the guy sent millions & millions of reply, and countless of phone calls,.. all the girl could do, besides crying, is still crying....The parents decided to move away, hoping that she could eventually forget everything & be happy...

With a new environment, the girl learn sign language & started a new life. Telling herself everyday that she must forget the guy. One day, her friend came & told her that he's back. She asked her friend not to let him know what happened to her. Since then, there wasn't anymore news of him.

A year has passed & her friend came with an envelope, containing an invitation card for the guy's wedding. The girl was shattered. When she open the letter, she saw her name in it instead.

When she was about to ask her friend what's going on, she saw the guy standing in front of her. He used sign language telling her "I've spent a year's time to learn sign language. Just to let you know that I've not forgotten our promise. Let me have the chance to be your voice. I Love You. With that, he slipped the ring back into her finger. The girl finally smiled. They lived happily thereafter.... :)
