Our Promise keeper 🙌🙌🙌

Our promise keeper 

One day I got a call from a travel company ( precovid times ) saying that I am one of the lucky ones to be given a free holiday to go on a family vacation. Happiness could not be contained as I love to go on holidays and imagine going on a free one. My family alerted me by saying that there are no free lunches and much into this I realised that the whole thing was a scam . I was promised so much but all of it amounted to nothing as it was a gimmick for me to lock in money with them. A few months later I saw the name of this company in the news  as they  came under the scanner for fraud and for cheating many people.


An electronic device that we had picked up was given an years warranty . However a month back the device stopped working and as I called the company , I was told that they had shut shop . To my utter surprise in 24hrs the owner of the company visited our home and got the device working . I was totally flabbergasted . They totally stood by their promise.


How often we too fall short and go back on our own words and promises . The Bible says “God is not human, that He should lie, not a human being, that He should change His mind. Does He speak and then not act? Does He promise and not fulfill?”

‭‭Numbers‬ ‭23:19‬


We have our promises fulfilled in Christ . He is our promised Messiah. Our hope, Our joy our Prince of peace and our Salvation. He is our everything and in Him and through Him we are blessed. 


“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”John‬ ‭3:16‬ ! So “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.”Acts‬ ‭16:31‬ 


Believe in the one who is the reason for the season . 

Believe in Christ . Its His birth that we celebrate, 


Christ came to set the captives free

Christ came to bring restoration and healing 

Christ came to give us a crown of beauty instead of ashes 

Christ came to bind the brokenhearted 

Christ came to give us a garment of praise instead of mourning -Isaiah 61


If we believe in CHRIST we will have eternal life  



BE BLESSED 
MERRY CHRISTMAS

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
