TRANSFORMED LIFE WITH CHRIST

  “ Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth and the life, no man cometh unto the Father, but by me ” John 14:6 Dear Friends, most of us ponder sometime or the other about what happens to us after our life here on earth? Do we just return to dust or is there any other life beyond?  Most beliefs proclaim life after death, but in different ways. Religions also affirm that there is reward or punishment after death – some believe in re-incarnation, and some in heaven or hell. Whatever may be our different convictions, most of us believe that if we live a good life here on earth, following the common principles of goodness, we will have rewards after our death, if not punishment.  I  also, a born and brought up Christian, believed till 3 years back, that all people irrespective of their religion, who lives as a good human being, living a truthful and honorable life would go to heaven.

His ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts wiser than ours.   So, we need to rest in His infinite wisdom and wait for His plan to unfold in our lives.

  Anxiety is one of the major causes of sickness in our world today. An anxious heart bears one down. Most often we are anxious over something which is in our imagination and may never come to pass. We are anxious about our job security, finances, future of our children etc. We fail to realize that source of all these is the Lord, and in Him we can be secure. We need to trust that “ God will meet all our needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus”.( Philippians 4:19 ) When we are anxious we cannot think clearly, we tend to get frustrated, venting our helplessness   in anger on those around us, leading to more vexation. It becomes a vicious cycle. We make ourselves and those around us distressed and unhappy. So, what is the antidote for anxiety? God has given us the perfect remedy in His Word to us in (John 14:27)   Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afra...
