One Sunday in Church.

                     One Sunday in Church.

On a sunny Sunday morning, I left the house to attend church. As usual, I took an auto as I was running late and got stuck in traffic for a few minutes. By then the praise and worship team started as usual, but I was still stuck in nearby traffic.

Once I got to the church gate, I paid the auto fare and started walking quicker to join in with the praise and worship. 
Upon entering the church hall, almost all the seats were occupied, but fortunately, I found a seat that was exactly what I had expected. It was a corner diagonal seat. I kept my bag down and said a small prayer within myself, asking the Holy Spirit to lead me in worship and open heaven's gates to receive our praise.

While the praise and worship was in progress, I closed my eyes and commenced singing praises to the Lord Jesus Christ. 
While I was singing, I observed that all the people were singing praise to the Lord, God the Most High, who was seated on the throne. I could not see how the throne was (No shape could define the God's throne), because a bright light was shining. I felt like I was among the people praising the Lord when I saw this. 

During that moment, I felt like I was in heaven and began to look around to observe what was going on. And I saw someone who looked like a human, and he was looking at us with a smile on his face.
Just like the earthly dad's have a smile on their face when they see their child dancing and singing. That smile of happiness, joy, and love in the dad's eyes. Have you ever observed this in your father's eyes?

The moment I saw this particular face, tears rolled down my face and I began to cry. Because I saw the humbleness of God the Father rejoicing and enjoying our praises the way we are pouring out our praises. (Come just the way you are)

Though I'm not worthy of his Love, yet he loves me unconditionally. 
Though I have gone far from him, yet he never left my side. 
Though I am too lazy to listen to his words, yet he speaks to me in many ways and keeps assuring me that he is there for me at all times.

It took me several days to understand how to express this in words. Because it is very difficult to describe the feelings and experiences that I had on that day. 
If you are reading this today, know that it was written with the help of the Holy Spirit. Without his help, I wouldn't be able to put this into words to let you all know what I experienced. 
I hope that you too will experience the love of the heavenly Father.

‭Psalms 149:1-4 MSG‬

[1-4] Hallelujah! Sing to God a brand-new song, praise him in the company of all who love him. Let all Israel celebrate their Sovereign Creator, Zion’s children exult in their King. Let them praise his name in dance; strike up the band and make great music! And why? Because God delights in his people, adorns plain folk with salvation garlands!

The Broken Claw Hair clip...

 

The Broken Claw Hair clip... 

 

A claw hair clip comes in a variety of sizes ranging from small to big, and it is popular among women.

This claw clip is used to create various hair styles, and its job is to hold on to the hair and never let it go until it is removed.

There was a girl who was fascinated with hair clips, and whenever she saw an accessories store, she would walk in and buy at least one.

Her collection grew over time, and she adores all of her hair clips, which she alternately uses between depending on her outfit.

But one day, on her way to meet her friends, she noticed a stall selling only hair pins and clips. She was tempted to buy the hair clip, but she decided to first meet her friends and then buy the hair clip on her way back.

She and her friends had a great time, and they all made their way back to their home.

On her way back, she noticed the stall and stopped to look at all the hair pins and clips. Despite the fact that she already had a large collection, she decided to buy at least one hair clip.

After going through all of the hair clips displayed, she finally decides on one 'Claw hair clip' because it appeared to be the best and was reasonably priced.

When she got home, she started wearing it all the time. She used it to make a hair bun, lock plated hair, and claw loose/free hair. She adored it more than any other hair clip she owns.

After a few years of use, the claw hair clip broke accidentally while sleeping.

But, because it was one of her most beloved and favorite hair clips, she continued to use it as before... the claw clip continued to function as it had before it broke.

You may be wondering, "What benefit do I gain from listening to this hair clip tale?" Or, more specifically, what does it have to do with me? Here's the answer to any doubts or questions you may have.

Our heavenly father loves us unconditionally, and his love for us is indescribable.

[For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 KJV]

There are no words to describe his love for us because he gave his only son to die for you and me. He delivered us from the sins of this world and continues to forgive us even today. His love for us is limitless.

So, all I want to say here is that you may be broken or believe you are a broken vessel that no one wants.

For example:

When we see a broken utensil at home, we either set it aside or throw it away because it has lost its value and is no longer useful.

However, the company's manufacturer collects broken utensils and gives them to the potter. The potter heats the broken utensils and creates a new one from them.

However, our Lord God chooses the broken ones and qualifies those who are called but not the qualified ones are called. Because he is not like the earthly potter, our God is an awesome God.

So here he says, [ “Can I not do with you, Israel, as this potter does?” declares the Lord. “Like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, Israel. Jeremiah 18:6 NIV].

He chooses the broken ones and shapes them into a lovely and wonderful pot. That is, he fills the gaps in our lives with his love and removes the obstacles or hindrances. He shapes and smooths us so that we stand out in front of everyone.

[but God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 1 Corinthians 1:27 KJV]

And I recall the song [Change My Heart, Oh God], which says, "You are my potter, and I am the clay."

So, let us commit ourselves to the potter Jesus, for we are the clay and let him take control of us. For he will never put his children into shame in front of their enemies.

So, when a person has a strong attachment to an earthly object, such as this girl, who never threw away the broken claw clip but continued to use it, giving it the same value, and cherishing it every moment.

How much more do you believe our heavenly Father loves us?

Here, the girl never attempted to repair the clip, but our Lord repairs us and molds and shapes us into beautiful people from the inside out.

He never gives up his children to bear the shame, because he bore it for us on the cross.

He promises to be with us and to bless us in all that we do. Because he shields us from all dangers that arise during the day and night. He never lets our foot get hurt.

So, here’s this verse from the Bible, [ He redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, Psalms 103:4 NIV]

And I absolutely love this verse because it states that he crowns us with his love and compassion.

What a priceless joy it is! Nobody on this planet could ever crown us with anything.

All we've heard about is kings and queens being crowned. But, according to our God, he crowns us with his unfailing love and compassion.

Do you have any idea how it looks?

It's beyond your imagination, so you can't imagine it.

Your feet will never touch the ground because your cup will be overflowing with his love. And no one can take your crown away from you.

So, my friend, never be dull or think you're useless in this world. For God has chosen you, and he is preparing you so well that you will shine brightly in front of everyone who has looked down on you.

You'll become like the pillar where the builders refused to use the stone.

[ The stone which the builders refused Is become the head stone of the corner. Psalm 118:22 KJV]

For you are precious in his eyes and his treasured possessions.

[Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you, I will give people in exchange for you, nations in exchange for your life. Isaiah 43:4 NIV] [Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: Exodus 19:5 KJV]

Little Girl in Heaven.

 

Little Girl in Heaven

 

Once upon a time, a young girl was playing by herself on the ground.

From above, God and his angels noticed this young child, and God sent an angel to take her to heaven.

As the angel carried the young girl above, the road was filled by flowers, the doorway was magnified by a golden arch, and the entire entry was lined with gold.

As she was being led on, she saw a white horse that was so brilliantly dazzling that it was sipping water from a river, and the water in the river was like lightning silver.

There were other horses getting ready for battle as well; they were all fairly large and powerful and came in all different forms.

As the little girl was being taken on, she saw a great number of people who were joyfully preparing food for everyone, worshiping God the Father, who was seated on the golden throne, and dancing and singing.

And there were also some little kids playing and running around.

After observing all that was happening, the young girl asked the angel, what is this place called?

"Is this the heaven mentioned in the Bible, where Jesus promised to take us?" The angel nodding his head replied that it is known as the "House of God".

[ In My Father’s house are many dwelling places. If it were not so, I would have told you, because I am going there to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and I will take you to Myself, so that where I am you may be also. - John 14:2-3]

After that, the young girl started dancing happily and ran all over the place.

Here comes the young girl's mother now to wake her up from her nap, and as she approaches, she notices the girl's cheerful smile. After she woke up from sleep, her mother asks the little child, what were you dreaming that made you smile? So, this little girl tells what she saw in her dream to her mother and her mom feels happy and gives her a hug and kiss.

Although the young girl later recognized that the entire experience had been a dream, it had been so vivid that she had honestly believed she had visited heaven and seen all of those things in person.

After her visit to heaven, where God is, she has been overjoyed and enthusiastic all day.
