Life Is A Journey

By MMT

 

When I was a little child and full of innocence, I heard stories about you.

When I became a boy and full of curiousity, I learned few things about you.

When I grew up as a youth and full of vibrancy, I discovered some things about you.

When I got matured as a young adult, my understanding about you created a desire in me to know you.

Now that I'm entering middle life, the wisdom I've learned from you makes me ask how much have I really known you. This drives a passion in me to experience a depth of you.

And... when I'll be in my final years, with the intimacy of the experience I would be having with you, I would be eagerly looking forward to the moment when I would ultimately be united and be one with you eternally.

Life is a journey to YOU.

          

The Spirit Within

And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. (Genesis 2:7)

"I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and you shall keep my ordinances, and do them." (Ezekiel 36:27)

"Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, give I to you. Don't let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful." (John 14:27)

"Whatever you do the most you'll get good at it. That's how we work... If what you do the most is become angry, you'll get good at it... But if you have been practicing joy, then you will get good at it. If you have been practicing peace, then you will get good at it... And so, it begs the second question: 'What do you want?'" -- Prem Rawat

"For as a man thinks in his heart, so is he." (Proverbs 23:7) Therefore, "Delight in God's law after the inward man." (Romans 7:22 ) "Whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things... Do these things, and the God of peace will be with you." (Philippians 4:8-9)

          

Diplomacy and Ambassadorship

They came as total strangers but left for home with new friends and warm memories.
 
The 30 volunteers of the Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund (ASB), a German mission which literally means “help a neighbor group,” departed on Sunday after providing free medical services to some 4,500 people here for six weeks.
 
During the farewell party for the group, “everybody was crying. Nobody had a dry eye inside the tent,” according to Dr. Nina Stucke, 35, a resident of Cologne.

When volunteers such as them are doing such noble unconditional acts of love, they are exercising authority as heaven's ambassadors.

Many nations of the world today are now becoming more focused on self-interest because of the practice of "internaltional diplomacy". They have mastered the art of defining self-interest.

Genuine godly charity is the best antidote to the world's brand of diplomacy.
