My Heavenly Fathers Letter

. I am able to do more for you than you could possibly imagine 

Ephesians 3:20  

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,

. For I am your greatest encourager 

2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 

16 May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, 

17 encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.

. I am also the Father who comforts you in all your troubles 

2 Corinthians 1:3-4  

3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 

4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.

. When you are brokenhearted, I am close to you 

Psalms 34:18  

The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

. As a shepherd carries a lamb, I have carried you close to my heart 

Isaiah 40:11  

He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young.

. One day I will wipe away every tear from your eyes 

Revelation 21:3-4 

3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 

4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

The Pathway to Growth

2 Peter 3:18 

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.

2 Peter 1:5-11 

5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 

6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 

7 and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. 

8 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

9 But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.

10 Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall, 

11 and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Philippians 2:12-13 

12 Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, 

13 for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.
Sharing about Jesus

Who is one person you could share Jesus with today?

One of Jesus’ greatest commands is to tell others about Him. It can be scary to share about Jesus with others, whether it’s with a stranger or a close friend. But, don’t let fear keep you from telling someone about Jesus today. 

The reward is far greater than anything bad that might happen - that person’s salvation!

Loosing

Never feel sad on losing anything in your life. Because whenever a Tree loses its leaf, a new leaf is ready to take its place.

Quotes 

- Making the family a top priority will invariably bring success.

- The foundation stones for a balanced success are honesty, character, integrity, faith, love and loyalty.

- Loss is the first step toward discovering God.

How should I approach God?

We can go boldly to God in prayer.  Hebrews 4:16 (NKJV) says, “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”

Success

Success is like your own shadow…

If you try to catch then you will never succeed…

Ignore it and walk in your own way…

It will start following you.

Sometimes

Sometimes I feel I want to go back in times not to change things, but to feel a couple of things twice.

Sometimes I wish I was a baby for a while not to be walked in the pram but to see my mother’s smile.

Sometimes I wish I could go back to school not to become a child but to learn how to be cool.

Sometimes I wish I was a fresher at my work not to do less work but to recall the joy of the first pay cheque.

Sometimes I wish could marry again all over not to change the partner but to understand the ceremony better.

Sometimes I wish my kids were younger not because they grew fast but to play with them a bit more.

Sometimes I feel I still had some more time to live not to have a longer life but to know what I could give.

Since, never can the times come back that are gone let’s enjoy the moments as we live them from now on!!

The best days my life with.

Are we earning to pay builders and interior designers, caterers and decorators? Whom do we want to impress with our highly inflated house properties and fat weddings?

Do you remember for more than two days what you ate at someone’s marriage? Why are we working like dogs in our prime years of life?

How many generations do we want to feed? How much is the “need” and how much do we actually “want”??

Think about it.

Would our next generation be incapable to earn, that we save so much for them!?!
Can’t we spare one and half days a week for friends, family and self?

Do you spend even 5% of your monthly income for yourself enjoyment? Usually…No.
Why can’t we enjoy simultaneously while we earn?

Spare time to enjoy before you have slipped discs and large prostates.

We don’t own properties, we just have temporary name on documents.

God laughs sarcastically, when someone says, “I am the owner of this land!” do not judge a person only by the length of his car.

Many of our science and math’s teachers were great personalities riding on scooters!!
It is not bad to be rich, but it is very unfair, to be only rich.

Life gets a LIFE, before life gets us instead… 

One day, all of us will get separated from each other, we will miss our conversations of everything & nothing; the dreams that we had.

Days will pass by, months, years, until this contact becomes rare… One day our children will see our pictures and ask “Who are these people?” and we will smile with invisible tears because a heart is touched with a strong word and you will say: ‘It was them that I had the best days of my life with’.

Unshakable

 “This means that all of creation will be shaken and removed, so that only unshakable things will remain.” Hebrews 12:27-28 

Life will not work except in God’s way and God’s way is Christ’s and Christ’s way is the kingdom of God.—E. Stanley Jones

Unshakable things are the things that are eternal, and the things upon which you can build your faith, your life, and your future upon. They are the things that cannot be moved, toppled, changed, or destroyed by people, cultures, or governments. Rejoice today if you are one who is building your life upon the unshakable things that last forever and bring an eternal reward. Here is what is unshakable and who is unshakable…

Rockefeller's Giving

The very first person to reach the status of billionaire was a man who knew how to set goals and follow through.

 At the age of 23, Rockefeller had become a millionaire, by the age of 50 a billionaire.
Every decision, attitude, and relationship was tailored to create his personal power and wealth.

 But 3 years later at the age of 53 he became ill. His entire body became racked with pain, and he lost all the hair on his head. In complete agony, the world’s only billionaire could buy anything he wanted, but he could only digest milk and crackers. His personal, highly skilled physicians predicted he would die within a year.

 That year passed agonizingly slow. As he approached death he awoke one morning with the remembrances of a dream.

He could barely recall the dream but knew it had something to do with not being able to take anything with him into the next life. The man who could control the business world suddenly realized he was not in control of his own life. He was left with a choice.

 He called his attorneys, accountants, and managers and announced that he wanted to channel his assets to hospitals, research and mission work.

This new direction eventually led to the discovery of penicillin, cures for current strains of malaria, tuberculosis and diphtheria. The list of discoveries resulting from his choice is enormous.

 But perhaps the most amazing part of Rockefeller’s story is that the moment he began to give back a portion of all that he had earned, his body’s chemistry was altered so significantly that he got better. It looked as if he would die at 53 but he lived to be 98.
 Rockefeller learned gratitude and doing so made him whole.
