Let love explode

From the song  God's not Dead by Newsboys (Good song, awesome lyrics!):

Let love explode
and bring the dead to life
.
.
.
God's not dead
He's surely alive
He's living on the inside

1 John 4:12 says
No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

There are people who inspire me. Who I respect and love. But people die everyday. People dont just die at the end of their lives. They die everyday... when they change. We tend to say, that someone we love, even when they die, are still alive in our hearts. When people inspire us we continue to believe in what they believed in and carryforward their mission even though they are no more.

Jesus died nearly 2000 years ago but His love and His teachings were such a powerful inspiration for people that Jesus continued to live in them who loved Him (Jesus loves everyone but not everyone love Him in return) Those whose lives he touched were filled with hope and love. He taught them how to love. More people got inspired by them. Now after so many years I stand in awe of what Jesus taught.

Glad to know that I am blessed, for Jesus told Thomas in John 20:29
Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."

Jesus if the people you made can be so kind then how kind must you be.  Wish I had met the real you 2000 years ago. Must have been soooooo awesome.

Ok.. I am probably doing a poor job in keeping Him alive in my life. But I will not let the spark fade, but will light a million lanterns with this tiny spark. I will change, die, and be born again only to love and if I fail I will learn from my failures until I succeed.

"A love so bold to bring a revolution somehow" - Newsboys song continued!

Jesus continues to mend broken hearts, touch lives, heal, feed and support so many life's till today. The revolution began 2000 years ago but never quenched. Thanks to the Holy Spirit. I also am a part of this revolution. If any of you can help me I am willing to accept your help and learn from you how to be kind and how to spread love. I know I am not alone in this :)

P.S: I am probably real slow in realising this whole concept. Hahaha anyway now I get it :D

Today I feel loved!
For a long time I have wondered what this saying during mass really meant;
'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord'

When I was younger I simply learnt it by heart. In recent years I have wordered if the saying was referring to only Jesus or to anyone who comes saying that they are sent by God.

In a version of the Bible it said that unless one confesses 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord' he /she will not enter heaven.

I asked few days ago during mass. Lord explain to me what this prayer means.
Today as I lay in bed listening to prayer songs I felt I should stop listening and read the Bible. So I acknowledged that thought and told God .. "So you wish yo tell me something? What is it God? " I opened the Bible and just continued from where the daily verse started. As I read further down the chapter was the following:
“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that   kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have   gathered   your children together   as a hen gathers her brood   under her wings, and   you were not willing!  See, your house is left to you desolate.  For I tell you, you will not see me again, until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’”

Then I understood that it was talking about anyone who went in God's name must be called blessed, for example, the prophets.

It was in recent times that God sent me to someone to deliver His message but they did not take it. I realised that God considers everyone prescious and he needs people to convey his message to others. He asks "Whom shall I send?"  I reply "Here I am Lord! " #wadupsongreference

God cleared my doubt and also gave me a practical lesson on what it means. I am glad to know that I am blessed when I spread God's word :)

I feel loved and I feel heard. God is looking over me and responding to me. People sometimes take a long time to reply to your messages, right? But not God. The conversations never end as a prayer always has a response when I keep myself open to what God has to say. God you are my best friend. Let's rock. #thumbsup

P.S: I have never told anyone openly that they are my best friend. This is the first time ;)
