Psalm 24:1 The earth is the LORD’s and everything in it, the world and all who live in it.

Looking at the things happening around this world, failed relationships, broken homes, broken Churches, purposeless life, etc. God taught me something which is so important as a believer, understanding the depth of this can change everything. So I am going to share this precious thing.

When you feel that, you owned it, the truth is you believed it is yours and you want to control it and are possessive about it. Moreover demands respect from it because you paid the price. But, everything changed when you know and realize that it is from God, and it is His. Then, you didn’t demand respect, but, you yourself automatically give respect. Because you know the owner and it is His precious gift to you, to protect it and take care of it. Not only that to respect it as well.

My dear, take a moment and look at it, nothing in this world is yours. Your mother, father, wife, husband, son, daughter, boyfriend, girlfriend, church, properties, land, and all natures. Remember it is His alone, all require respect because it is His. As the word of God clearly says ‘The earth is the LORD’s and everything in it, the world and all who live in it.

“You want to control it when you think it is yours, but you respect it when you know and understand it is His.”- Nei

Philippians 4:8 Whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things.

Do you ever think, what is the biggest asset, God has given humans? Pondering it, I came to the conclusion that, it is the human mind. The ability to think and comprehend. There is no limit to what you can think, no boundaries, and no power on earth can stop you from thinking. The wonderful thing is that God did justice to all of us, as He created all of us with this ability to think. In a world where we are denied freedom in all fields of life. You can have your true freedom in the sphere of your thinking.

The more you think, the more likely you are to achieve, as the saying goes ‘You become what you think. It is your thinking that shapes you, and human thinking patterns differ from one another, depending on the environment he or she is brought up in and the exposure he or she had made. Which makes us unique.

My dear, the truth is, this asset come with trust. It is true there is no limit to this asset, we have the freedom to think, but, the Bible warned us about what we can think ‘ whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy- think about such things. He trusted us with this asset because He knew we could take control of our thoughts, through Him who gives us strength.

“With the biggest asset, you are given the biggest trust and responsibility.”- Nei

John 11:35 Jesus wept.

Most Christians learned it by heart and knew that this is the shortest verse in the whole Bible. As short as it might seem, the meaning behind His weeping is a deep one. Did I ask myself why?

This incident happened when John died and Jesus was four days late. Bust Jesus knew that He can raise him, and he will be alive, after knowing all those things he is going to do, why did Jesus weep? I am not certain about the reason why Jesus wept. This incident proved to me He is 100% God and 100% human.

We can see that though He knew He can raise John as God, at the same time He also felt the pain of separation from dear ones. He was empathizing with John’s dear ones (Mary, Martha, etc). He also sees you and me on that day already and knew death was an inevitable part of human life and all will go through this pang of separation from our dear ones. He was there that day and He can raise John, but you and I cannot raise physically again after death so this makes Him wept.

So, to raise you and me after death, to be with Him, He endured it till the end on the cross. And He goes through the pang of separation from His Father. So that you and I can be with Him. He goes through this pang of separation from His Father, so He understands the pang one goes through by death. My dear, I just want to let you know today that you can be 100% sure that He can empathize with us. No matter what you go through, even if it is a pang of death.

“The word of God, how short it might seem’ is embedded with a deep meaning, handle it with reverence.”- Nei
