Hurry , Worry!

There’s no doubt about it, appreciation in any form at any time brightens anyone’s existence. And, like a beam of sunlight striking a mirror, the brightness is reflected back at you. -Unknown.


 It is nature's way that teaches you - what you give comes back to you. One can say, 'I don't believe in God, I don't see Him or hear Him, then why to fear Him? Agreeable! Then I would like to ask such person, can he see nature. And of course, he cannot deny this fact. My next question would be, 'Then are you blind"? This might startle him and make him angry too. Smile :)

Nature is first best teacher who teaches you silently so many things. A tiny plant tells you to grow silently and as you grow silently, nature inspires you to develop strongly- both within and externally. To such an extent, that you can withstand the strong winds and other forces of nature. When you are strong, nothing can destroy you. It is only the weak, says nature who are easily washed away or eliminated because nature follows the law of survival. Only the strong shall survive, and weak discarded. Where do I gain the strength from? I did not learn this in any book... If animals can learn through mere observation, why can't we- the most intelligent beings superior created by God.  Who has taught a seed to germinate? Who has taught a seedling to grow into plant? Who has taught to bear fruits and flowers? who has taught a tree to provide shade to the tiresome travellers to escape the scorching heat of the sun ? Who?

When we ask ourselves these questions, it would put us to shame. Inspite of learning in books, from parents, from elders and gurus about lessons of life and the essence of our existence, we ignore it and try to explore new ways... but where is the new way, that we trot, going to lead us is what we do not realize. It is therefore very essential to keep a constant check on our thoughts and actions and the direction we are heading. Just like a tree- develop strong roots; branch out in all directions; bear sweet fruits; take your time, 'No hurry, No worry';  covert all the decayed things into pure oxygen and let the world breath through you and remember you always... there will be no death.
Seeds strewn from your fruits will bear similar trees and WOW! What a beautiful place this Earth would be.

Listen to the whisper ... or wait for the brick!

As a kid, each one have been disciplined by their parents on wrong actions. Many times it must have hurted the children or not being allowed to do as they wished. But many a times, they must have also realized, that had not father or mother stopped him/ her from doing a particular action, he /she would have landed into grave trouble and sorrow. At the time of being disciplined, kids never fail to realise that parents are being strict not because they do not love them, but because they love their children more than anything else. Because they want their children to make better decisions in future and lead happy lives.
Discipline, might at times torn us to pieces, crush our joys (temporary), leaving us wounded and bruised us from within.... . this is time when we need to turn to Him again, to help our wounds recover.
If God disciplines you, it is because He hasn’t given up on you. His discipline comes with the goal of making you a better being. Like a gardener prunes trees so that they bear fruit, God is removing the bad branches from your soul. This doesn’t feel good, but it is necessary.
Even in the depth of discipline, know that God has greatness planned for you. Once you have learned your spiritual lesson, God can remake you better than before. Once the discipline is completed, God will bind up your wounds and restore you if you have repented. What He took away to teach a lesson will come back better than before.
Prayer for Today: Thank God for the discipline He gives you. Ask for Him to help you learn from your mistakes.
Quicklook: Hosea 6:1–11

God whispers in our souls and speaks to our hearts. Sometimes when we don't have time to listen, He has to throw a brick at us.
 

 Remember, God loves disciplined children. Because in that discipline, there is love, binding you with God.
