Dec 2nd, 2021: We Are Not Alone

 

Have you heard someone who says: "It's hard to believe it is already December?". Time has gone by so fast for some and so slow for others in many ways. Life has its own new set of routines for us. That doesn't help us keep track of time. For some time, every day seems to be the same for some of us. Yet, Christmas is approaching.


Christmas has different meanings for different people. However, most people would acknowledge that it is time for families and friends to come together. It depends on what we celebrate and what we would cherish during this time.


It reminds me that we are not alone in this world because God has chosen to be one among us. As we witness various events that have taken place in the world today, that knowledge alone brings me a lot of comforts.


It reveals to us that God is not indifferent toward human pains and struggles. We know that we cannot redeem ourselves, and Christmas is the beginning of the promise of redemption. We discover a new sense of freedom when we embrace that.


It helps us understand the true meaning of love when it comes to sacrificing oneself. Jesus has no catchy slogan in His ministry. He signifies his life with His utmost obedience and commitment to the Father's plan for him.


Have a great time getting ready for Christmas, and remember that it is about life.


Philippians 2:8-10 

"And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth."

Sept 4th, 2024: Praying in Images

Image
It has been a rough few days. Living in immense pain does not allow us much energy to think about anything. I ended up praying in images, and not many words came out of my mouth. Most of the images were of people I know. God knew that I was praying for them as their faces came to my mind. I did not need to mention the circumstances or situations of their lives—He knows. My heart was at peace as I ended my days with these images. He will take care of my body, and I know this because I was able to get some sleep. Tomorrow is in His hands.

Aug 31st, 2024: Confession

Image
Dealing with pain sometimes affects our ability and flexibility. A physiotherapist friend gave me a set of home exercises to help with that. They are simple yet intense at the same time. Dealing with our human brokenness sometimes affects our ability to see and hear God. Our commitment to spiritual disciplines must be at the core of our relationship with God. One of the disciplines I have been trying to embrace more fully is confession. It’s not just about recognizing where we have gone wrong; it’s about how we have chosen to live our lives independently from God. It’s about whether we truly want God to be part of our lives. The absence of meaningful confession will damage our freedom to experience intimacy with God. "Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy." - Proverbs 28:13

May 18th, 2020: Why Forgiveness?

Image
  A young man called me last night and he was tormented by his relationship with his mother. It is not because she was a horrible mom. It was unresolved grief that is caused by his dad's suicide a few years ago. Emotionally, he blames parents for his father's death although he knows intellectually that it is not right. I knew the father a bit because his mother and her family came to see me for help when they first arrived in Canada. He was a brilliant physician and who was quite loved by people of a small northern town in Alberta. He was awkward in some ways and very uncomfortable in social conversations. This young man has had many conversations with me ever since the suicide. His father's death has been a major topic of our time together. Most of our conversation yesterday was about forgiveness. We were talking about forgiving people who never ask or haven't got a chance to ask us to forgive them. The question is whether we can forgive without being asked. His father...
