Lifetime Companion

You surely know this feeling when you are deep down burdened, worried and in pain, you sit on that couch next to your friend...in total silence, and you realize how they feel the storm within you without you having said one single word!

So is our life time companion "The Holy Spirit", He knows even the toughest feelings too deep for words and takes them up to God.
I love this encouraging and comforting verse:

“Also, the Spirit helps us. We are very weak, but the Spirit helps us with our weakness. We don’t know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit himself speaks to God for us. He begs God for us, speaking to him with feelings too deep for words.”
Romans 8:26 ERV
“وكذلكَ الرّوحُ أيضًا يُعينُ ضَعَفاتِنا، لأنَّنا لَسنا نَعلَمُ ما نُصَلّي لأجلِهِ كما يَنبَغي. ولكن الرّوحَ نَفسَهُ يَشفَعُ فينا بأنّاتٍ لا يُنطَقُ بها.”
روميَةَ 8:26 AVDDV

Even your toughest weakness, He will handle in prayer for you! Wow!

A Detour Taxi!

Do you know this feeling of worry that starts crawling into your heart when the taxi driver takes a different route than the one you know and used to? Obviously you dont know this stranger…You probably don´t trust him…Are you taken on a longer route to pay a little bit more or just taken Away? You look closer to the driver, hammering him with questions in a firm voice..then start ordering him the way to go; even though he might know a better and faster way! In other words you prefer to have it your way than his way…It s more comfortable at least!

I wonder how many times did we treat God as an “Unknown Taxi Driver” pondering Him with “why this way? It is not this road I had in mind!” to realise at the end that He is lovingly always right…even when He takes a Detour!

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord.” Isaiah 55:8 NIV
“«لأنَّ أفكاري لَيسَتْ أفكارَكُمْ، ولا طُرُقُكُمْ طُرُقي، يقولُ الرَّبُّ.” إشَعياءَ 55:8

You Get What You Go For!‬

Ask all who lost weight if they have done it getting a “Diet Coke" with their BigMac Large Combo meal! I guess not, coz simply ‪#‎You_get_what_you_Go_for‬

Same with our souls, staying in the grey area, living a Mix believing it is taking us somewhere…it is NOT!

Let´s be tough, let´s be serious, The reward is worth it…Here and for ever!

“رَجُلٌ ذو رأيَينِ هو مُتَقَلقِلٌ في جميعِ طُرُقِهِ.”
يعقوبَ 1:8
“[For being as he is] a man of two minds (hesitating, dubious, irresolute), [he is] unstable and unreliable and uncertain about everything [he thinks, feels, decides].”
James 1:8 AMP

NO Testers at the Tax-Free Shop!

Any of you noticed that? On my latest flights through Cairo airport, I had some time before my flight so decided to wander around a bit. I love scents and perfumes and this lead me to the Free shop just to check what´s new and enjoy some exquisite aromas before meeting the famous odd lemon zesty EgyptAir wipes 

smile emoticon To my surprise, the whole perfumes section had NO testers! Do not ask me why..there is probably a bureaucratic non sensereason behind it, that´s not the issue. But how do you expect me to buy a Perfume without even smelling it?! The 1 € perfume in a box is as good as the 100€ one...as you can’t smell what's inside. The sales man tried to explain to me some of the notes in the perfume: woody, long lasting, blah bla bla…Obviously you can’t describe a perfume…you SMELL it! Perfume without a tester is almost impossible to sell.

This is exactly what Jesus meant when He called you and me “Light of the World” and “Salt of this Earth”! He knew that if we live our days just talking about God´s love without showing it in our lives, giving sermons without being observed and experienced; we shall be no different than the perfume in the Box…WHILE just one press on a tester would be enough to fill the air with pleasant scents to the heart and soul.

“Let your light so shine before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and recognize and honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven.”
Matthew 5:16 AMP
“فليُضِئْ نورُكُمْ هكذا قُدّامَ النّاسِ، لكَيْ يَرَوْا أعمالكُمُ الحَسَنَةَ، ويُمَجِّدوا أباكُمُ الّذي في السماواتِ.”
مَتَّى 5:16

Don´t live your faith without a tester, let people Experience what you have inside this Heart-shaped Box of yours!

Keep shining His LIGHT my friends!
