Love ALL!

To Archangels Michael, Gabriel and Raphael. To all the Angels and to my Guardian Angel. Thank you.

My People,

 

Good Morning! People often say, ‘When you love someone set them free, if they come back to you they are yours, if not they never were.’

Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life;" John 6:68

 

The most deadly ache in the heart of a man is the one of never being loved. And so often in our quest to life, we forget ‘the ONE’ - who loves us above all human love. We forget!

We need to reach and hold on to people – love them because each of us is God’s representative, to each other.

If tomorrow never comes is a beautiful song. I have added a few lines of the song.

I made a promise to myself
To say each day how much you mean to me
And avoid that circumstance
Where there's no second chance to tell you how I feel

If tomorrow never comes
Will you know how much I love you
Did I try in every way to show you every day
That your my only one

So tell that someone that you love
Just what you're thinking of
If tomorrow never comes

 

 

The most absolutely difficult thing to do is to let go.

Let go of the people we love. In whatever form of relationship, that is.

It’s not unusual to want to hold on. But the worst thing about this is we end up hurting ourselves and the ones we love. The questions, we need to ask are –

Is it worth all the hurt that will be caused due to holding on?

Do we trust God, enough?

When you love someone, your every breath is filled with a hope of a new day – a day that is a promise – to love forever after. Love goes on.

  

Search history, search Google and you won’t find a God, who will say that you are made in His likeness and image.

The humility of Jesus has no end. He waits for us in the Tabernacle.

In a Gazillion years, through the search ... Jesus loves you always! Amen.

 

Day 11^th of September, 2014 – On nearing home, I felt the flap of a wing on my head and I knew it was Archangel Raphael – it’s a second time now. The other times I know he is around is when I see the number 444. The number refers to the beginning of the chapter on Tobit in my Bible.

 

 

It’s been a while now since my mom had given me a replacement cell. It works fine with my cousin. Each time, I have to make a call it simply goes off. I stopped using my cell.

Day 19^th of September, 2014 – I sit to write for the blog, but as I try to switch the PC on, it shuts down with the same reaction, twice.

Day 20^th of September, 2014 – I press the coffee button to the machine and nothing happens. I try couple of times and nothing. I ask my friend to help me. At the press of the button it works.

Moral of the story: The enemy-the devil, has seemed to block all my paths. So for now, I lay low. I trust in God with all my heart. There is none like Him in the whole world. Nothing impossible for my God!

 

Day 22^nd of September, 2014 – On my way home from Mt. Carmel’s Church, during the fair of the Mount, I met my office manager, Neri. I wished to see him and I finally did meet him after 2 years, I met his family too. It was a wonderful moment, one I will never forget.

Day 28^th of September, 2014 – 10:15 am & 6:00 pm mass. I was so happy to hear Fr. Williams mass in the morning & the evening & also Fr. Ashlyn. I love Fr. William-my hope. Thank you, Abba, Father.

28^th August, 2014 – The most beautiful crescent moon I have ever seen.

Day 29^th of September, 2014 – After the 7:30 am mass, I went and said Hi! To Fr. Warner. Glad to see him. Thank you, Abba, Father.

30^th August, 2014 – Time goes on and I am left standing I don’t seem to be getting anywhere with the problems I am facing. Today these were my thoughts.

I reach Bandra Station and it starts pouring heavily. I’m standing there waiting 10 minutes or so. I am greeted with lovely breeze coming towards me. I enjoyed the lightning and thunder display. I loved watching the showers of rain. It was wonderful and I was telling God, that He is so perfect.

I removed my watch and earrings and packed them and my bag into a plastic bag. I stood waiting there and I heard the Spirit of God tell me to walk. I knew I would get all drenched. I walked about 2-3 minutes and there comes a rickshaw and the fellow speaks in English asking where to?

God took care of me. He made me reach home, without getting wet at all when all the while it looked like that  was the only possibility.

 

 

We often wonder what sets leaders apart from leaders with extra ordinary calibre. And in reality it’s not an extraordinary task but the little things that matter in life? The little things that we think are too much for the position that one has landed with.

When you think you are a top ranking person, you start thinking like one and you forget what it is to be like the one you were before you got the position. And so many people do that. They climb the ladder of success and it gets to their head. They forget. If you look at them you would wonder if they just walked out of Buckingham Palace.

To be approachable at all times, is a pre-requisite (requirement). Richard is a gem of a person, always approachable. The moment you require help he will walk up to you with the intention to be of help. And he lets you know that you can call on him, if you come across anything. It’s a wow factor. Tremendous ability, I say this because, rather what you must realize is, that it can’t be easy for Richard to get up and want to be of help all the time. It’s a difficult part-to be cheerful and not show ones annoyance to people, thus encouraging them and making them feel a part of the greater good-a part of the team.

We all want to belong and what a beautiful way to show that you belong is when you are encouraged to show that if there is a concern, I’m here for you.

There is no attitude, no hidden ego and that makes him an easy person to get along with.

The ability of a person to understand - recognize a person as a human being without creating barriers (differences). We all need to be this kind of person.

 

The acronym for FEAR is False Evidence Appearing Real. The enemy likes to keep one in his grip. When we face trials, we become burdened with worries, we get anxious and that’s where the devil will bring more troubles so that you doubt the love of God, you feel abandoned. To feel so is, being human. But don’t let anxiety feed on your fear. It’s the weapon the devil uses.

I know what it is to feel alone. When in pain, it’s not easy to see God’s way and it’s not easy to praise God.

But I’ll say this - it’s IMPORTANT to pray asking God’s help. Jesus did that on Maundy Thursday, in the garden of Gethsemane. Pray for God’s will in mind.

When we pray we have to be confident knowing Gods best for us. We need to trust Him with our lives. We need to completely surrender.

 

I am surrounded with trouble on all sides. I am not afraid. God assures us as He says, ‘Be not afraid’ & ‘Do not be afraid’, so many times in the Bible.

Jesus waits in the tabernacle, waiting to give Himself to strengthen us in our fight with the enemy-the devil. Jesus strengthens us with feeding Himself, to us in the form of the Host-The Body of Christ.

 

There is a fight for each one of us. We can all choose to stand and fight or give in and face it some other day or choose to run all our lives. But the truth of the matter is if you understood that the trials and tribulations do you good – then you would choose to stand the ground.

Each time in my life and every time still – I will choose to stand, however down and out I may feel – I cannot be lost.

1 John 4:4 states- Little children, you are of God, and have overcome them; for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world

Two weeks now, other than my two offs a Sunday and a Monday, I am unable to make it to Church. I leave home at 6:10 in the morning and reach home by 8:00-8:15 pm. Yesterday I reached home at 9:15 (27^th September, 2014). I tried making it to the Church, but was not able to. My point being, if I lose my patience then I can’t say I understand what it is to do the Will of God.

God wants me to give my best, where I am, to be doing God’s will means that if I am at work, I give it my best, at home-my best, at Church-my best, wherever I am – my best, it tells God that I rely on Him to bring my best-for His best in my life. Amen.

Two weeks back, if you would ask me what it is to be bold-I guess my answer would be different from what it is now. I will keep saying this-so please bear with me, Trials are a part of life-welcome them with open arms, because they are detrimental in shaping, moulding you the way God only knows makes you perfect in standing with Him. You shun (run away) it off, and you make the best go away. I’ll explain. For me being a Capricorn it is easy to be diplomatic, and I kind off was for a good number of years. Not intending to hurt anyone and at times trying to maintain good relationships. But being a diplomat is nothing but being a good liar.

 

I’m not asking-that you go ahead and hurt people, no I’m not saying that at all.

Truth is the only aspect that will always be a reality and it is what we always require to do.

Truth in the most dignified manner.

Truth in the time, that God allots to be spoken with.

Truth the way God defines it, never our way, only His.

I have been amidst all the lies that one can possibly deal with. And the more I wanted out, the deeper into the web of deceit I got pulled in. So if I accepted the lies, there would be no repercussions (no consequence or untoward action). But because I fought it, the more trouble was thrown on me.
 

 

The devil is manipulative, the father of all lies, arrogant, deceptive and is very treacherous.

I never gave up and I never gave in. I waited on God.

They threw everything that they possibly could, and the last thing they did, they thought would make me shudder (tremble) with fear, I felt different.

The ‘Holy Spirit’ always will let me know what I need to do. First, telling me to get up and do something.  Or I’ll feel so much power in me, that you can’t shake me off at all-that is the power of the ‘Holy Spirit’. By myself I can do nothing.

Philippians 4:13 states: I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

 

All I mean is to be honest in the face of fear. Be Bold. Have faith.

2 Corinthians 12:9 states: but he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” I will all the more gladly boast of my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

 

St. Anthony preached to the fish and they listened. St. Francis of Assisi spoke to the birds of gratitude and they heard him.

I don’t remember who this saint is, but as a child he was asked to look after the fields, and when it was time to attend church, he would ask the birds not to do any trouble in the field till he gets back. And they would obey.

Faith, even the birds and fish obey.

You cannot be bold without faith. Faith has to be perfectly placed in God. That boldness will be the fruit of faith that knows God can and will. Only when you have that faith (equal to confidence) in God, can you be really bold.

 

When trials persist, it is always for a reason. I still have a lot to learn. But for now, what I have learned is that the more you face trials, the more you learn to rely on God. So the greater the trial, the greater the need for God and the more we believe, the greater the trials will be.

Every trial produces faith and faith needs to grow. Only with the growth of faith in God can you grow to be bold. And that boldness means you don’t rely on man for your necessities, you rely on God. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the end. All power, all dominion is His.

When you rely on God totally, you will fear no man. Man can only do what God permits. And He will only permit, what is required to produce what is essential to your union with Him.

 

Be without fear, in the face of your enemies.

Be brave and upright knowing that God loves you and me.

Speak the truth, at all costs even if it leads to your death.

REMEMBER to safeguard the helpless at all times!

 

 

When you love someone deeply, you cannot wait to see them again.

Each and every day,

Each and every moment,

Every breath,

Every heartbeat,

my Love for you grows….

Every heart beat of mine belongs to You!

 

And REMEMBER, Remember that LOVE is the most important part of our lives. And tell the people you know and love, how very much you love them. Love is what keeps us strong.

With all my Love,

For Love Prevails!

AnitA.

 

 

PRAYER: Abba, Father, keep me obedient and always faithful. Remember, this your servant.
Mama Mary keep me humble, I pray. Amen.
