Tragedy to Triumph!

Tragedy to Triumph!

Today I attended the Bristol Men’s Conference with our church members.

There were two speakers (and 4sermons) and the topic was on passion for Christ. After each sermon the audience can send questions and out of them 3 will be read and answered.

The first sermon was on the love of God and keeping the commandments. So I wrote a question and sent, but it was not read/ discussed.

In the afternoon session, after asermon on the topic “Tragedy to Triumph” – Rev. Andy Paterson narrated three incidences of Acts 18 è

(a) how Aquila & Priscilla were thrown out of Rome (Tragedy) and they werea blessed in Corinth (Triumph)

(b) while Paul was preaching in Corinth, Jews opposed/ abused him (Tragedy); so he came out – but the Synagogue leader, Crispus and his entire household believed and baptised (Triumph)

( c) v12 – Jews bought Paul to court (Tragedy) – but the judge (Gallio) dismissed the case (Triumph). He also narrated a story when a young boy of 6 was told that hisfather had a tragedy. He was then explained that he died and gone to be with Jesus. The boy replied if he has gone to be with Jesus, why do you call it atragedy, it’s a blessing. It was a moving message!

I initially thought I shouldn’tsend the question (as my previous question was not read). But suddenly Ithought ………no, I shouldn’t get dejected but pursue it. Also not many people were enthusiastic about writing thequestion. Within a flash of a second, I took a paper and wrote the same questionbut in one sentence. It reads like this: “How to love God when tragedy strikes?” I gave it to the usher. The first question was about something else. He answered. Then the second question was read to Rev. Andy Paterson: How to loveGod when tragedy strikes? He started to speak………two syllables came out of hismouth and then he stopped. He was silent for a minute. The whole stadium was silent. Tears rolled down his cheeks. After the silence he spoke: “My father was a church minister. He served God all his life. He was suddenly diagnosed with cancer………I think I have known God much more better than before my father fell sick………I ‘m more closer to Jesus than before………….” He couldn’t continue. The other pastor prayed for him.

Later, I ran and caught up with him. I told him Iwas the one to ask the question. I narrated my current situation. I told him that even though I love Jesus and I know that whatever happens in my life is a blessing from God and I don’t hate him………..but it is a great effort before I could do very little morning devotion. I could no longer listen to sermons. I have no longer seem to have a deep searching for God. He looked at me with tears in his eyes and said when he was going thru the trouble, he was feeling the same……..then he started reading Psalms and found out how the Everlasting arm was around him………I then asked him "Sometimes Iwonder if I might lose my salvation……………" He replied that the very fact that I have this fear shows that I do love Him……….just don’t worry about daily devotion………don’t feel guilty if I didn’t do it daily………..when you pray you pour out your heart to him; tell Jesus exactly how you feel………..and this will be your daily devotion………….!" Wow! Praise God for the comfort through a person who had already undergone the pain.

10 Years on...

This is my personal testimony. I wish to give Glory and Honor for my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

09/09/2009: Today is a memorable and a remarkable day in my life. I was living in Choolaimedu in Chennai and at that time I went through a very difficult time of my life. Though I had just joined a diploma course at the Institute of Mental Health, Kilpauk, I was really down in dumps.

After completing my MBBS course, I studied continually for almost 2 years for MD entrance exams. I attended various exams all over India. I also applied for Tamil Nadu Government jobs, but unfortunately, none of these doors were open to me. The hardest bit was that most of my senior and even my junior colleagues were getting jobs or selected for MD, but for me, there seemed to be no way out. I felt very dejected. I mourned. My soul was restless everyday. I prayed daily with tears to God. "Lord! Show me my way! There seems to be no way out! Help me" This was my prayer for 2 years. Most of my days, on my return from work, I went straight to the church to spend time with God. I attended almost every meeting that took place in Chennai (1999-2001) with my brother or friends (JJ/ Ramki/ Saravanan/ Britto).

Also I was worried as I was getting older, when my friends as well as juniors got married. I even felt ashamed to attend their weddings. Once I had to attend a wedding, as they are my relatives. On reaching the church premises, I felt ashamed to go inside the marriage hall. So I hid myself near the bushes and wept to my Lord. “When will to take out of my shame? Will you ever bless me?” I cried and cried. Few minutes later, an auto came by the bush to drop some one. A verse was written at the back of the auto which shook me. It was written, “I will restore double to you”. I was reassured. I felt calm and believed my Lord.

But over a period of time, I was unable to bear the pain of a number of failures in my life. So I resigned my job and wished to go back to my native place. I packed my bags. On 09/09/1999, exactly, 10 years ago, as I was staying at home, I started to read The Bible with tears in my eyes. After few hours, I felt someone coming into my home which was locked. I was touched by Jesus and was anointed with an overflowing measure by the Holy Spirit. I was bubbling with joy. I stayed in His presence for nearly 4 to 5 hours. What a joyful day it was! I WILL NEVER EVER FORGET WHAT GOD HAD DONE TO ME ON THAT DAY. Though I was chosen by my Father God before the foundation of this world (Eph. 1:4), along with the Redemption given to me by the precious blood of Jesus Christ (Eph. 1:7), I was specially and personally touched and embraced by the hand of the Holy Spirit. I felt like a baby in God’s arms. The joy I received I could never be able to describe with words. I was cured of my depression and instantly & suddenly lifted up and filled with abundant joy. On that day, I KNEW FOR SURE THAT JESUS IS THE TRUE AND ONLY GOD; HEAVEN AND HELL IS REAL; EVERY WORD IN THE BIBLE IS TRUE; EVRY MAN’S SIN IS ATONED AND FORGIVEN ONLY BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS. I felt confident that my Lord will never leave me or forsake me. I went back to the same place of work and completed my diploma course.

Now looking back all these 10 years, Sovereign God had already made a special plan for me. He brought me to the UK and gave me wonderful jobs in London. He has made me proud Member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists (MRCPsych). Also, he brought a special girl (my wife) in my life from North India. Also, to confirm his Word promised to me 10 years ago, God restored my life with twin boys, Aaron and Bryan!!! Hallelujah!!! Looking back, indeed my Lord has been faithful to me. God had done things which I WOULD HAVE NEVER THOUGHT OR DREAMT 10 YEARS AGO. So, anyone reading my testimony, if you are going through a difficult time in your life, only one advice I can give you: POUR YOUR TEARS AT THE FEET OF JESUS CHRIST; THEN FORGET ALL YOUR TROUBLES; HE WILL LIFT YOU UP AND COMFORT YOU AND MAKE YOU BIG IN NATIONS. HE WILL GIVE MORE THAN WHAT YOU ASK FOR. Amen.

Eph. 3:20,21: “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.


Spiritual Blessings in Christ:

Eph. 1:3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.

4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love,

5 he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will;

6 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.

7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace.


Note: Testimony in this testimony: Today is a very busy day in my office, as I am working 10 hours. I wished to go to a church to pray, but no way. To my great surprise, my wonderful friend, Ramki Isaac, called me from India. Interestingly, he didn’t know that this is a special celebration day for me and also he had not called me for the last 9 months!!! After talking to him on the phone for long time, I was inspired to write this testimony!!! Hence God is Sovereign and He touched Ramki’s heart to call me so that I will write and publish it today!!! Praise, Glory and Power to My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!!! Hallelujah!!!

THE TITANIC TRACT

Introduction

The journey we make in our life from birth to death can be compared to the journey in a ship from one destination to another. Let us expound some truths from this catastrophe.

The Titanic was the biggest ship ever built during 1912. The 882 ft long ship roughly equals the size of the Tower Bridge. Total cost of Titanic was $7.5 million. It had 16 watertight compartments, which were designed to close automatically, if flooded. Shipbuilder magazine quoted that The Titanic was ‘practically unsinkable’, though it was made from 46,000 tonnes of steel.

The Titanic was described as a ‘Luxury hotel at sea’. The ship contained a swimming pool, gymnasium, squash court and library. They stored 40,000 eggs, 1,500 gallons of milk, 110,000 lbs of meat and stacks of beverages (20,000 Beer bottles and 1,500 Wine bottles).

“We place absolute confidence in the Titanic. We believe the boat is unsinkable”
- Titanic's President Franklin.

“Not even God himself could sink this ship”
- A deckhand on Titanic.

“I cannot conceive any vital disaster happening to this vessel. Modern ship building has gone beyond that.”
- Edward John Smith, Titanic Captain

The cascade of events:

10th April 1912 – Titanic left Southampton on its maiden voyage to New York.
11th April 1912 – Reached Ireland and restarted.
12th/13thApril 1912 – Smooth sailing on the sea.
14th April 1912 – 18:00 – Passengers had their supper, which was the last one for many on board.
19:00 – Several warning reports about icebergs from nearby ships (The Californian / Carpathian).
20:00 – All the warning messages were ignored.
22:50 – The Californian ship sent the last message.
23:00 – This warning message was also ignored.
23:15 – The wireless operator from The Californian switched off the radio & shutdown communication.
23:39 – The crew spotted an iceberg very close with less than 1 minute to respond.
23:40 – Titanic turned to the left, but collided with the iceberg.
15th April 1912
00:00 – Six watertight compartments were flooded.
00:05 – Distress signal “CQD” was sent to other nearby ships and distress rockets fired.
00:45 – Lifeboats launched, but not filled up to the maximum capacity.
01:30 – The titanic music band (Wallace Hartley & team) played the song 'Nearer my God to thee'. The band continued playing music till the end.
02:18 – Titanic broke into two pieces and the bow sank first.
02:20 – The ‘unsinkable’ Titanic sank after 2 hours and 40 minutes of ordeal. About 1,500 passengers lost their lives.
04:30 – The nearby ship, Carpathian rescued about 700 passengers from the lifeboats.

Luxury Vs Lifeboats

The Titanic carried about 2,200 passengers, but only 20 lifeboats. Ideally, the Titanic should have carried at least 34 lifeboats to save all the lives of people on board. In essence, The Titanic was loaded with all the luxury items, but it failed to carry adequate number of lifeboats.

Life as a ‘sinking’ Titanic

The life we live in this world can be compared to the story of the Titanic. Our body is a vessel designed as a ship carrying inside a soul and a spirit. Indeed ‘our mortal body’ can be a representation of the ‘sinking Titanic ship’.

If we could count our heartbeats, it would be between 60-90 beats per minute. Our heart has to beat about 100,000 times and pump 7,200 litres of blood in order to live one day on planet earth.

On an average, our human body is designed to live for about 70-80 years and then to die. Also Death can occur to anyone at anytime (e.g., accidents / diseases– heart attack / stroke) but it could be slow and gradual (e.g., cancer / dementia).

The truth is that everyone born in this world will die at some time. So, are we prepared to meet death at any time of our life? Fear of death can be annulled as long as we know where we are going after death.

My dear friend, this materialistic world represents the ‘Sinking Titanic’. What would be beneficial, if a man owns the whole world, yet he loses his life? The ‘Unsinkable Lifeboat’ may seem to be insignificant, but it is the one that saved lives.

In this world, Jesus Christ is that Unsinkable Lifeboat who saves lives eternally. He loves us and died on the cross for our sins. He promises us eternal life after death. Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies” (John 11:25).

Are you willing to get into the lifeboat? It’s your free choice.

Dear Lord Jesus,
I believe you are the Son of God. You died on the cross for my sins. I believe you rose from the dead on the third day and you are seated at the right hand of our Father in heaven. I confess all my sins. Please forgive me. Cleanse me with your precious blood. I proclaim that I am a new creation in Christ from now on. I say this prayer in Jesus name. Amen.

Welcome to the Kingdom of God! Right now, there will be thousands of angels rejoicing over your salvation in heaven, as you have been saved just now. Today, buy a Bible and read Mathew chapters 5, 6 & 7 that gives the principles to follow in our lives. Continue to read, pray and attend a church that belongs to Jesus Christ. God bless you! Amen!

"Nearer, my God, to Thee"Nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!

E'en though it be a cross that raiseth me,
still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to thee,
nearer to thee!
Though like the wanderer, the sun gone down,
darkness be over me, my rest a stone.
Yet in my dreams I'd be nearer, my God to thee.
There let the way appear, steps unto heaven;
all that thou sendest me, in mercy given;
angels to beckon me nearer, my God, to thee.
Then, with my waking thoughts bright with thy praise,
out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise;
so by my woes to be nearer, my God, to thee.
Or, if on joyful wing cleaving the sky,
sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward I'll fly,
still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to thee.
There in my Father's home, safe and at rest,
there in my Saviour's love, perfectly blest;
age after age to be, nearer my God to thee.

Words: Sarah Adams, 1841

The will of God

‘What is the will of God In my life?’ – Most of us desperately wish to find out what God wishes us to do for him in life.

1. We may have great enthusiasm to do “works” for God, but all he needs is to do very simple tasks. For example, Andrew told his brother, Peter about Jesus and led him to Jesus. 40 One of the two who heard what John said and followed Jesus was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. 41 He first sought out and found his own brother Simon and said to him, We have found (discovered) the Messiah! — which translated is the Christ (the Anointed One). 42 Andrew then led (brought) Simon to Jesus. John 1:40-42 - AMP

This is a simple thing to do – Introducing Jesus to othersè calling the unsaved friends to church, telling about him, giving tracts, witnessing about Jesus etc.

2.The next simple task is to give whatever small things you have. For example,

A small boy gave all that he had for food – 5 loaves and 2 small fish. He gave with his full heart to Jesus. What an astonishing miracle happened on that day! 8 Another of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to Him, 9 There is a little boy here, who has [with him] five barley loaves, and two small fish;

John 6:8-9 AMP

This is a simple thing to do – Giving to Jesus è you can give anything to Jesus; your little food, little time, little money, little love etc; He will bless it and make it an abundant blessing for others.

Discovering God’s plan for your life!

Life is a journey. You wish to find the direction. You need to find ‘signals’.

Everyone wishes to know about his or her future. It has become a common practise to consult Palmistry / Astrology / Horoscope / voodoo boards. Have you tried to do so? It is detestable to the Lord. If you have done in the past, repent and turn away from that sin. What are the Do’s and Don’ts of discovering God’s plan for your future? Let’s see:

1) If your ways are NOT pleasing to the Lord, He will NOT answer your enquiry

God wishes everyone to ask our living God about their life plan rather than consulting a medium.
Isaiah 8:19,20 When men tell you to consult mediums and spiritists, who whisper and mutter, should not a people inquire of their God? Why consult the dead on behalf of the living? 20 To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, they have no light of dawn.

Deu.18: 9-13 when you enter the land the LORD your God is giving you, do not learn to imitate the detestable ways of the nations there. 10 Let no one be found among you who sacrifice his son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, 11 or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. 12 Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD, and because of these detestable practices the LORD your God will drive out those nations before you. 13 You must be blameless before the LORD your God.

1 Samuel 28:6,7 –Enquiring medium/ dead spirits – Saul
6 Saul inquired of the LORD, but the LORD did not answer him by dreams or Urim or prophets. 7 Saul then said to his attendants, "Find me a woman who is a medium, so I may go and inquire of her."

God did not answer Saul, because he failed to carry out God's instructions and hence he was delivered to an evil spirit. 1Samuel 16:14-15 Now the Spirit of the LORD had departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD tormented him. 15 Saul's attendants said to him, "See, an evil spirit from God is tormenting you.

2) Do NOT ask God for endorsement of your plans

Do NOT build up desires and fantasies in your heart; then it will become an idol to you; you will be addicted to it; then do NOT ask God for his will. Only when we are willing to obey He shows us His ways. 100% 'neutral submission' to the will of God is mandatory!
Ez.14:4,5 – 4 Therefore speak to them and say to them, Thus says the Lord God: Every man of the house of Israel who takes his idols [of self-will and unsubmissiveness] into his heart and puts the stumbling block of his iniquity [idols of silver and gold] before his face, and yet comes to the prophet [to inquire of him], I the Lord will answer him, answer him according to the multitude of his idols, 5 That I may lay hold of the house of Israel in the thoughts of their own mind and heart, because they are all estranged from Me through their idols- Amplified Bible.

3) God’s MAIN plan for humanity

A) Salvation – thru his spotless blood
B) Sanctification – thru Holy Spirit Eph.1:4 for He chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. God can NOT make you holy without your submission. He wants you to work with him on a daily basis.
C) Sprit led life - Be filled with Holy Spirit everyday, WHO will display not only the Gifts but also the Fruits.

4) God’s plan for one person may not be the same for the other person

Blind man 1 – John 9:6,7 – saliva + mud ==> eyes + wash in pool of Siloam
Blind man 2 – Mark 10: 46-52 – WORD ==> Go, your faith has healed you

5) God’s plan will be different at different times for the same person

When the SAME problem occurs to us in succession, God will give us DIFFERENT ideas each time! Amazing isn't it!!! For example:
2 Samuel 5:18-25 18 Now the Philistines had come and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim; 19 so David inquired of the LORD, "Shall I go and attack the Philistines? Will you hand them over to me?" The LORD answered him, "Go, for I will surely hand the Philistines over to you." 20 So David went to Baal Perazim, and there he defeated them. He said, "As waters break out, the LORD has broken out against my enemies before me." So that place was called Baal Perazim. 21 The Philistines abandoned their idols there, and David and his men carried them off.

22 Once more the Philistines came up and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim; 23 so David inquired of the LORD, and he answered, "Do not go straight up, but circle around behind them and attack them in front of the balsam trees. 24 As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, move quickly, because that will mean the LORD has gone out in front of you to strike the Philistine army." 25 So David did as the LORD commanded him, and he struck down the Philistines all the way from Gibeon to Gezer.

Moses – God asked Moses to strike the mountain the first time and talk to it the second time.

6) We have to inquire God for EVERY situation ALL the time

Ps.119:105 Your WORD is a lamp unto my feet and a light for my path.

1 Samuel 23:1-4 – God confirmed things twice for David
When David was told, "Look, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah and are looting the threshing floors," 2 he inquired of the LORD, saying, "Shall I go and attack these Philistines?" The LORD answered him, "Go, attack the Philistines and save Keilah." 3 But David's men said to him, "Here in Judah we are afraid. How much more, then, if we go to Keilah against the Philistine forces!" 4 Once again David inquired of the LORD, and the LORD answered him, "Go down to Keilah, for I am going to give the Philistines into your hand." 5 So David and his men went to Keilah, fought the Philistines and carried off their livestock. He inflicted heavy losses on the Philistines and saved the people of Keilah.

1 Samuel 30:7,8 David’s neutral mind
7 Then David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, "Bring me the ephod." Abiathar brought it to him, and David inquired of the LORD, "Shall I pursue this raiding party? Will I overtake them?" "Pursue them," he answered. "You will certainly overtake them and succeed in the rescue."
2 Samuel 2:1 Specific question was answered
David inquired of the LORD. "Shall I go up to one of the towns of Judah?" he asked. The LORD said, "Go up." David asked, "Where shall I go?" "To Hebron," the LORD answered.
God even gives us the address where we should go!

What are the ways of inquiring the LORD?
1. Go up to the LORD
2. Weep before Him
3. Stay long til evening
4.Fasting
Dan.9:3 I turned to the LORD and pleaded with him in prayer and petition in fasting and in sackcloth and ashes.

Judges 20:23 – 1. Go up to the LORD 2. Weep 3. Stay long til evening 4.Fasting
The Israelites went up and wept before the LORD until evening, and they inquired of the LORD. They said, "Shall we go up again to battle against the Benjamites, our brothers?" The LORD answered, "Go up against them."

7) God does NOT give a full plan to you on the first step

Gen.11:31 Terah took his son Abram,… and together they set out from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to Canaan. But when they came to Haran, they settled there. 32 Terah lived 205 years, and he died in Haran.Gen12:1 The LORD had said to Abram, "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you”.
Abraham’s journey: Ur ==> Haran (STOP)==> GOD ==> Canaan ==> Egypt ==> Canaan; Obedience will reveal the next part.

Heb.11:8 – By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.

Paul was told by God to go to the city as an initial part of His plan. Acts 9:6 what do you want me to do Lord? "Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do."

8) God has a definite TIME frame

Jer.29:10 This is what the LORD says: "When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will come to you and fulfill my gracious promise to bring you back to this place. v 11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Ex.12: 40 now the length of time the Israelite people lived in Egypt was 430 years. v 41 At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the LORD's divisions left Egypt.

Abraham – waited 25 years before the promise was fulfilled.
Joseph waited almost 22 yrs before his dream came true

Things to do:

1. Inquire God at cross roads
2. Praying & fasting
3. Power of waiting
4. Praying long
5. Praying with tears
6. Praying in distress
7. Petition / supplication

Re: The Bible as Cookbook Proves the Christian God Doesn't Exist.
-->Posted: Jun 13, 2007 7:02 AM (23 of 23)

In respose to the challenge posed by Sidewalker, I've written the following comments:

My Dear Sidewalker,

The BIBLE is NOT a cookbook!

It is a book to reavel God's personality, creative power, compassion, and plans for everyone's salvation.

The BIBLE was written over a period of some 1,500 years, from around 1450 B.C. (the time of Moses) to about 100 A.D. (following the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ).The Bible was written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit by over 40 different authors from all walks of life: shepherds, farmers, tent-makers, physicians, fishermen, priests, philosophers and kings. Despite these differences in occupation and the span of years it took to write it, the Bible is an extremely cohesive and unified book.

There are more than 6,500 languages are spoken in the world today and the BIBLE has been published in about 2,167 languages. The Bible is the best selling book of all time in any language. It has sold about 5 to 6 billion copies.Hence we know that there are atleast billions of people in this world who believes in Jesus Christ who came into the world about 2,000 years and ministered onlt for 3 and 1/2 years. No MAN, by his own authority, preaching for only 3 and 1/2 years,could have established his Kingdom on the earth even after 2,000 years have lapsed. It's only by the power of God, His name could be established on all face of earth.

What is the reason for Jesus Christ to come into this world to die on the cross? Here is a simple explenation:
1. God’s love, for all the people in this world is limitless and measureless.
2. There is no righteous, unblemished person in this world. There is not a man in this world who has not committed any sin in his life time.
3. There’s no one in this world whose walk is blameless; All are corrupt; All are sinners. God loves the sinners as well.
4. An innocent / sinless / spotless man's blood has to be shed for the forgiveness of our sins.
5. There was no sin found in Jesus Christ.
6. Jesus died on the cross as atonement (compensation) for the sins of all human beings in this world.
7. Any human being (irrespective of race, colour, religion, region etc.) who cries out to God truly in their heart for the forgiveness of their sins will be forgiven readily (This is know as "Salvation").They will enter into heaven after their death.

Please Read John's Gospel (from the New Testament) to know the Truth! You shall know the Truth and the Truth will set you free! I will pray for your Salvation! This is a challenge for everyone. Cry out to Jesus with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind and search the BIBLE, He will definetely reveal himself to you.

Crossways

CROSSWAYS

I’m a business man trying to find my way out of my City of STRUGGLE & DESPAIR to the Town of PEACE & SAFETY ……… Can you help me find my way out? I’m at cross ways……

When I’m at cross roads…..
All I can do is one thing only.
I have to choose only one path!
But I keep in my mind:
1) The path I have chosen will take me miles away from the other paths and
2) That I will never be able to return to those other choices!
So, I thought Once……. Twice….Thrice….Four times….
But I honestly don’t know what’s ahead in the path I’ve chosen….
There may be a…..lion ...or an elephant in the path....

or a gift from God or a promotion or a degrees from God.....!

So tell me, which way should I CHOOSE from these CROSSROADS?

Or just tell me…….Shall I STOP all together everything?

Or shall I WAIT ....?

There seems to be MILLIONS of ways to venture…..

But all I need is to take only one way which is the BEST ONE FOR ME.

Will I excel like the DEER in the path I choose?

Who would counsel me to take the right path?
Who will order my steps?
Who will direct me to the straight and best way for me?

DEAR GOD, PLEASE HELP ME TO DISCOVER THE BEST PATH YOU HAVE CHOSEN FOR ME! COUNSEL ME, AND DIRECT MY HEART IN YOUR WAYS!!
