Sought and Found

God always opens up a path to those who seek with all their heart. One such path was the one sought by Abinaya, from Erode in Tamilnadu. Abinaya had it in her desires to be at the All India Campus Conference to be held at Nagpur, an exciting event where she would be able to learn much about God. She looked forward to the day with much eagerness and joy, but in the corner of her heart she also knew that she wouldn’t be able to afford going there. Against all odds, she didn’t give up hope. She started to search for chances to work as a housemaid at different places but with no avail. Finally on the morning of 20th of September, with the conference just two days away, she shed out tears to God praying that He would help her to somehow reach the conference. That morning, when she was travelling to church in an auto rickshaw, she asked an elderly woman sitting beside her whether she could work as a maid at her house and told her that the she needed to raise money for attending the conference. Abinaya got a reply, but this time not in words. The woman opened up her purse and handed Abinaya Five hundred Rupees for the conference. The conference hadn’t yet begun. But Abinaya had learnt a lot more than she expected already.

 

Are you searching with all your heart to know God’s love? If you are, don’t ever give up no matter what the odds. Because God, right now, is searching for you too

You just need to forgive, right? - Andrew Kitchen

SPIRITUAL RENOVATION Fresh thoughts about following Jesus You need to forgive and move on. Right? Or maybe it’s actually very wrong. Someone has said terrible things to you, accused you, treated you harshly, possibly spiritually abused you in a church setting and now you are being told to forgive your perpetrator, because, … you know, forgiveness is what Christians are supposed to do. This scenario has played out on more than one occasion . It’s common! So how to deal with it when it comes your way? The first thing to recognize is that this kind of language is very simply an extension of the original abuse. It is a simple bid to excise the perpetrator from any repentance or restorative action. It’s a lot easier to trundle out these seven words than to perform any serious introspection. Hey, if it works five times out of ten it’s worth it. If it works one time out of ten it’s still worth it. Avoiding accountability for actions has a big payoff. But, holy smokes… the carnage. The damage.
