Every season is with a reason





Image result for seasons

Soon after I got married my husband got a posting to Delhi and we were in Delhi for about fifteen odd years. I really disliked the extreme climate conditions Delhi had so much so that when summer came with the scorching heat I used to look forward  to winters and when winter's used to come with the biting cold I used to wait and long for summers 😅. 

So also in our lives , most of us do not live in the now . We either dwell in the past or worry about the future and hence miss out on enjoying the present . Tomorrow will have it’s own share of worries (Matthew 6:34) ! So why do we worry about tomorrow and miss the now?

If you are going through a difficult season in your lives , our God is more than able to bring you through it. Just as He has done great things in the past He is able to do the same today as well. Stand on His word and His promises . He alone is mighty to save ( Zephaniah 3:17) and He is the one who trains our hands for battle ( Psalm 144:1). 

We have the ability to lead a victorious life in Him . No matter if you are in a valley like situation or a mountain top experience , God is the only answer to every situation . Remember that God allows different seasons in our life for a reason . 

Joseph had so much of hardships and trials . He did not give in or give up . He trusted God to bring him through every trials . And God never forgot about him. In the right time God elevated him to a position for all to see . Your season filled with His goodness is coming soon . After the night comes the morning and after the storm comes the sunshine and after every winter comes spring time where we see fruitfulness and a myriad of colours .

The Watch Repairer

Image
Couple of my watches required battery replacement …. but oufff the price in this region to change the battery can be more expensive than buying a new watch 🫠 However we figured out the place where we could get original batteries at half price and with a guarantee for 2 years .. woooo that was amazing .  The watch repairer was a very unassuming person who took his tools and carefully opened the side of the watch where the battery had to be replaced.  And boy the insides of the watch looked so amazing … intricately done and it needed someone with precision and understanding to get the watch working again . He also cleaned the inside and reset the time, date and in few minutes my watch was working and looked as good as new with a little bit of cleanup too in the inside and outside !! This got me thinking !! We have been made so wonderfully and crafted so intricately in the inside. When we come to the end of our resources or feel depleted within, come to the Maker. He calls us to draw fro

I AM NEW

Image
I was in a bit of a hurry when I went to the local supermarket last week. The lady who was supposed to help me with packing the condiments & dips seemed to be from another planet . She looked lost , confused and irritable. I did not have much time to be able to deal with her mood swings.  However something caught my eye. There was a badge this lady was adorning which said “ I am new here". Well that explained it all !!! She was not able to understand things well and might still been trying to navigate her way through.  Suddenly my perspective changed and there was a paradigm shift.  I became more patient and kind towards her in my approach. I bought the things on the list and left the place wishing her all best in her new role ✨!!  I then thought to myself- wish I had a badge on me which would read  “ a sinner , saved by grace alone”, or “ bear with me as I am not perfect “, or “ extend me grace when I fall ” or “ forgive me, I do make mistakes”  May be if I had them on, thing

What’s your trigger

Image
  When our little dachshund Coffee, was tiny and when we all had to step out , we had to keep her closed in the kitchen . The kitchen has three doors , so it was a bit of challenge to keep her in and have the doors  closed as she would dash out from the other. So we had to strategically close two doors and leave her in and shut the door on her. This was done only for three months period as we then had a help who became available full time. It is now four years and Coffee is also four + , but whenever a door is shut, specially the kitchen door she panics and gets fearful with the thought of being closed up again !! Most of us also get triggered when we are reminded of an event or situation in the past and we feel overwhelmed and fear takes over . It probably may be something we went through as a child or even in our growing up years or even as an adult .  Are we then called to be in that place of fear and anxiety and not move ahead in life ? The answer is NO ! As believers we have been
