How Great Is Our God

Just how great is our God? hey guys...im so so sorry for going missing for such a long time. was caught up with so many things. And then there was the Nepal trip. Anyways, please do cont to read my blog hope it will be a blessing to all..*smiles*

Coming back to the question. Just how great is our God? Im a big fan of Christ Tomlin. Christ writes great songs and its so amazing when we praise God with his songs. I believe all credit should go the One who put these songs in Christ. My God is great to me in soo many ways. HE is the creator of the universe, the reason for all good things, the hope for the hopeless and fatherless, the peace for all living being, and the joy for those who believe. I believe.

But just how great is our God? Christ Tomlin's song ' How Great Is Our God' starts off with, 'The splendor of a King'. This is my answer to that question. I look around me, the things i see,that amazed me, lets me know how great is my God, the splendor of a king.

They say picture speaks louder than words. This is in fact very very true. My words can never say how great is our God!..And just like another favorite song of mine, from Christ Tomlin, our God is 'Indescribable'. So let me just let this pictures answer this question for all of us. God Bless. Peace

Letters To God

First of all, Love Akka, if your reading this, I cried for Finding Nemo, how can I not cry for “letters to God”?! It was so so beautiful akka. Thank you akka for letting me know of this beautiful movie. I’m truly so very bless and i believe all should watch this movie.

Letters to God is based on the true story of Tyler Doherty, a young boy who was dying with cancer. Tyler’s prayer took the form of letters which he wrote and mails it every day.  These letters somehow reaches the hands of a postman name Brady. At first Brady had no idea what he should do with it, but over time he soon discovered that God choose him for an extraordinary task. Brady became very close with Tyler’s family and through Tyler’s strong faith and hope in the Lord, made him found his lost way back home. Tyler’s life showed everyone that God is the only one in control. And his letters was a blessing to all his love ones, a ray of hope to just hold on to our God. Overall, this is indeed a beautiful movie which will remind us all of our purpose here on earth. Like Tyler, we are all letters to God

You show that you are a letter from Christ...written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living god

                                                                                                            2 Corinthians 3:3

I used to follow a teen drama called One Tree Hill. Now i was not a big fan of it (watch it for the sake of my ex gf) but it was an entertaining weekly program with lots of drama. I remember watching one episode; Lucas the lead role in the drama had a vision or maybe a dream of his uncle saving him from a fire accident. Lucas then asked his uncle why did he saved him and not the others, or something like that ( One tree Hill fans, I’m so so sorry if the facts are wrong) anyways, the uncle will answer Lucas saying that he was special and he’s life is a blessing for others, that he will make a change in many lives. Right then when i watch it i said to myself, that’s what i want to do, i want my life to be a blessing to others, i want to make changes in people’s lives.

But, how do i make a change? Who am i to make a change? I realized now that i can never change any person’s life without God in me. Because i know i’m nobody, i’m nothing without God in me. God has called us all to be different. He chooses us to be his very own so that we will be different. I like this lyric from one of my fav songs from Casting Crows,

 “How refreshing to know You don't need me, How amazing to find that You want me”

God, who is all powerful and mighty surely don’t need me to save his children. But he wants me to do it. Why? Well, i don’t really know the answer for that but i know this is what i can do in return for all the good things that he have done in my life. Nothing i do or say can ever be compare to what my Lord and Saviour did for me on the cross. I just pray and hope god will use me, just like Tyler Doherty as His letter to all his lost children.

Lord, use me, your jar of clay

                                                                                                                                                                                Amen

Hero

Growing up we all choose to have a ‘hero’ or maybe heroes, to save us from all our troubles. Like many, I have my fav heroes too. My dad was my 1^st and will always be my hero. Then there was Spiderman, Batman, Wolverine (My all time fav hero!). I was not so much of a Superman fan. There’s something so ‘gay’ about his costume.

 We all want a hero to save us from our misery and ‘evil villains’. But there’s something about all this heroes we know and love so very much. They are not real! We as Christians, have a hero in all of us. A hero is who is real and powerful. Who does not need a super power or a funny costume, or fly and swing around hiding his true identity. Who is this hero I’m talking about? No he’s not Rajnikanth or Vijay ( tamil movie actor, though to many these people are not just heroes, but also gods!! ) I’m talking about our almighty God and saviour Jesus Christ!

Our God, our Jehovah Nissi will always bless us with victories over the Amalekites (Exodus 17:8-16)? In Exodus 17 : 8 – 16 we see the Israelites when into battle with the Amalekites.   Who were the Amalekites? The Amalekites were the descendants of Amalek, who was a grandson of Esau, the brother of Jacob. If you remember, Esau and Jacob were born to Isaac and Rebekah. There was enmity or strife between these two brothers over the birthright and blessing of the first born. Jacob, together with his mother, schemed to deceive Isaac, and steal the blessing. This began a strife between the descendants of Esau and the descendants of Jacob or Israel, that continued from generation to generation. Verse 16 reads, "For he (Moses) said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation."

Are there any Amalekites in your life right now? Any bad habits, strong influence that’s holding you back from moving forward? Fears and hurts that you are avoiding from living life to the fullest? Time to time you will face these Amalekites, but don’t let these struggles in life drag you away from the truth. Psalms 121 Verse 1 – 2 says,

 ¹ I lift up my eyes to the hills—
       where does my help come from?

 ² My help comes from the LORD,
       the Maker of heaven and earth.

Our hero up above, our Jehovah Nissi will rescue us from all our Amelekites and set us free. So have no fear my friends. Have no doubt that your hero will let you down. I know my hero won’t...=)

Now that you know you have a hero to catch you whenever you fall and who hears your tears in the middle of the night, look around you. What do you see? Do you see a girl sitting all alone in the street looking for love? Do you see a young boy stealing food just to get through one cold night? Do you see a sick man dying without the truth? People around us are dying. Whose hope is fading every second of their lives. They are desperate for a hero, a hero who will come and set them free from all their misery. You have a hero in you. A hero who is real and powerful, who is the King of kings, Lord of lords, the Alpha and Omega, the Almighty One!! You can change lives by just sharing what your hero did for you. Share your hero and make a different.

Here are some pictures of someone you might know, or maybe someone who is going through the same problem...

She needs a HERO...

She needs a HERO too...

And they..They want your HERO...Share your HERO today...Take care And God Bless..
