Friends and you...

I'm overwhelmed at the amazing response to my blog (pun intended) ! I mean, I've been on blogger for just about two months now and I've already had a little more than a hundred visitors ! Well, considering that these days, I don't really bother to even update my blog with daily snippets of my college life, I consider it a mean feat. Well, I'm not actually boasting, but I consider it to be an achievement. Sucess is relative after all...

I've never been so disinterested in college life this semester. Of course, I knew that to retain my fickle concentration over a period of five months is a tall ask even by my low standards but right now it seems to be getting closer to infinity than reality. To think that I got the first rank in the first unit test makes me blush now rather than proud, but I'll get back to business again (or I hope to, atleast !)

I've had a rather entertaining week this time around, filled with some priceless moments fit to be captured and framed. But, quite recently, I've been developing a slight headache (though it doesn't hamper my excitement in any way !) and feeling too low or tired to study for the weekly tests. I mean, give me a break !! Week in and week out we have tests and we feel bored and compelled to study. It results in more and more of the students gradually losing their interests and affects our grades too. It’s important that the management looks to satisfy the needs of the students than the wants of the parents because ultimately it’s the students who write the exams and wake up at 5 every morning and not the parents !



Friends forever...

Tensions, problems and mis-understanding crops up in any relationship at untimely intervals but it’s important to those concerned to have trust in the others. We can’t go about hating and doubting everyone we meet. We won’t have the time to live our life if we do so. Listen to your heart. It never lies. If it does, it’s because you’ve poisoned it with the venom of ego. No one can help you then. It can be cured only sometime in the future. When situations turn out in such a way that one gets to finally understand of who a true friend really is. That’s the best antidote to one’s poisoned heart. But, by that time, your true friend moves on with life, your so-called-friends move on with theirs and you’re left stranded.

An interview with God...

I had a dream that I had an interview with God.I looked at the great mountains and saw the genius of His handiwork.




I looked at the incredible beauty of a sunset,and with much trembling thought about what God must be like,I had one big question I wanted to ask.




I turned towards Him,but could not look upon Godbecause He dwelt in unapproachable light.
So I simply cried out,“Why is there suffering and death”




He answered me from His Word:“As by one man sin entered the world and death by sin.And so death passed upon all men, for all have sinned.”




Then He said, “The soul that sins, shall die.”I asked Him what sin was, and He said,“Sin is Transgression of the Law”






He then thundered His Law:You shall have no other gods before MeYou shall not make for yourself any idol.You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God.




Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.Honour your father and your mother.You shall not murder.




And the word of Holy Scriptures:“Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God?Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes…” 1 Corinthians 6.9
and
“But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars – their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulphur. This is the second death” Revelation 21.8




It suddenly dawned on methat I had broken God’s Law many timesand would be condemned to Hell on the day of Judgement.




Not only had God seen my every sin,but my own conscience condemned me.
When I asked God what I should do,he said, “I didn’t send my son to condemn…
I then understood that God loved me so muchthat He made provision for my forgiveness.Jesus suffered and died for me.




He took my punishment upon Himself:
“Herein is love, not that we have lover God. But that he loved usand sent His Son to be a substitute for our sins”




We broke God’s Law (the Ten Commandments),and Jesus completely paid our fine.
“God commended His Love toward us, in that,While we were yet sinners Christ died for us”Then He rose from the dead and defeated death.




I suddenly awoke from my dreamand realised that I had a choice to make.
I could carry on dreaming that God wasn’t angry at sin’and end up in Hell forever.
or
I could repent and trust in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviourand receive God’s gift of everlasting life.




You have the same choice.
