Isn't it so wonderful when we receive a "Yes" from God for our prayers unto Him? And how do we react when we get a "No" for our prayers? Hmm... sometimes I have been very much disappointed with God for rejecting my plea. Yes, sometimes the "No" hurts. But God taught me some valuable lessons from people who reacted in another way to the "No's" they received from Him. I was reading the Bible with my husband, and we were discussing the same. The topic was about David. David was

Isn't it a privilege to be born and raised in a family that knows and teaches Jesus? It is one of the greatest privileges, writes J.C. Ryle, the 1800s author known for his deep, uncompromising teaching. He has written a book called Holiness, and there he mentions a chapter titled A Woman to Be Remembered. I was expecting to read about Hannah, Deborah, or Esther in that chapter, but surprisingly, I found Lot's wife there. The Bible does not give us much of a story about Lot's

Have you felt that the things happening to you are unfair? Then you are not alone. But from where can we get the strength to move on? Verse 1 from Hebrews 12 guides us: "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us." What a profound statement. I felt the beauty of this verse when I met my grandpa in the beautiful

It was a God moment for me when I read Hebrews 11. It strengthened me to overcome my tiredness. The first verse goes like this: "Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see." What a verse. It holds a timeless message about God, who strengthened people's faith. Yes, it's not about the people; it's about Him who strengthens our faith. What has God done for the people as in Hebrews 11? He helped Abel bring

Isn't it so warm to get welcomed by the Holy Spirit when we open our Bible? I felt so invited to dip more into the Word of God when He said, "Greetings, favoured woman! The Lord is with you!" It put a wide smile on my face, and I thanked our dear Lord, wishing Him back, "Good morning, dear God."(This happened today. I am writing about what I experienced) I send the same greetings to you, dear friend. May you be highly favoured by the Lord. He showed me something very beautifu

Do you want to know the letter in the Bible that is against slavery? It is the letter written by Paul in his old age. Paul writes this letter to Philemon, a believer. We can see Paul beautifully handling the conflict between two believers here. From the letter, we can see Paul appealing to Philemon to accept Onesimus as a brother now. Paul insists on forgiveness from Philemon. Paul praises Philemon for his faith, for his love for God's people, and for his kindness that refres

Sometimes I feel that one of the topics not much appreciated is the topic of "modesty." These days, the modern world looks for trendiness in every way. I remember wearing a black polka-dotted top with blue jeans for a retreat at our college, where I heard that wearing jeans was not good. I am not going to share anything about the rigid dress code here. In metro cities, we are adapting ourselves to the culture around us. But may we also know that we don't need to impress anyon
