PRAISEWORTHY IS HER

LIFE LONG COMMITMENT

“…How happy is the woman who bore you and nursed you.”  (Luke 11:27)

Often do I come across people who would appreciate my parents and family as I am chosen and selected by the Almighty to spread the Word of God to many. The response to all these valuable words would be a silent smile. Often during these instances I would remember the woman from the crowd, who after being thoroughly impressed by Lord Jesus’ message and teachings. With great enthusiasm and rejoicing she shouted, “How happy is the woman who bore you and nursed you.” Lord Jesus turned His Spirit filled attention towards her, “How happy are those who hear the Word of God and obey it.”(Luke 11:28)

Our Lord knew the greatness of His Mother; who so well obeyed the Word of God from the Annunciation, deserves greater praise and her quality much higher than a biological mother.  By the above word of God, Lord Jesus turned the crowd’s attention to the fine quality of His Mother who obeyed the Holy Messages from the Sovereign Ruler. She, Mother Mary, inherited the perfect spirit of God; the only one to hear the Word of God and obey it till her last breath. Her wholesome Spiritual character that abided in her even before ‘motherhood’ can be relevant by her response to St. Gabriel, enveloped in simplicity, “Let it be done to me according to your word.” Her permanent and sole quality of excessive submission and acceptance to God’s Word remained in her during the most crucial times of her life. With an unfailing lifelong commitment she supported and followed her Son silently unto the foot of the cross. When the woman appreciated His Mother, Lord might have visualised the depth of her love and sacrifices towards the Word of God.

Through His short teachings He educated us that such a privilege was not exceptionally for His mother but this benefit can be enjoyed by each of us. Let us take a lesson from Mary our Mother who accepted the Holy Word, challenged herself to abide by it as she experienced through steady faith it was God’s purpose for her. Her mission, heavenly wisdom along with divine dreams joined her to do the Will of God.

Dear devotees of Christ, you would have many unanswered questions; and several unsatisfied approaches to find a solution would have tired you out. Let me re-assure you from my own experiences that the Holy Bible knows you! All your fears, frustrations, dreams, your sin and its ways, your thoughts be it about your welfare or your life; everything may look okay and colourful at the periphery but in moments of solitude you may feel incomplete. Take a friendly approach to your Holy Bible and experience the contentment and seek answers for all your queries there. It will surely not disappoint you! Grow with Him (the Word of God), live with Him, accept Him as your encyclopaedia-a source you can truly trust.

I will tirelessly write that it is the Word of God that created all things and imparted its perfect wisdom in it. It is the Life-giving Spirit. (John 6:63) Are we not tired by living on bread alone? Listen! The Word of God says, “Man cannot live on bread alone; but needs every Word that God speaks.” This Holy verse itself clears many doubts that are rooted in us. How long has it been we are tuned to leading a life in negligence towards the Word of God. “The Law of the Lord is perfect, it gives new strength.” (Psalms 19:7) and “His Words give Eternal Life.” (John 6:68)

If you are dead in sin, only the Words of Sovereign God can grant the grace of repentance and enable you to turn towards Lord Jesus, the True Life.  “Jesus drove out the evil spirit with a word and healed all who were sick.”  (Matthew 8 :16) Whoever understands and values these Holy Words, memorizes them in their heart will receive life and health. Is anyone in your home critically or chronically ill? Care to spare some time reading the Holy Bible near the patient regularly with great belief and witness the miraculous changes in the person as well as the family.

It is their ignorance in the Holy Scriptures that easily leads many to the path of superstitions and carries out all wrongdoings without the fear of the True God. Blessed are those who read the Holy Bible regularly as it helps them discern the good and the bad; assists them to take wise and appropriate decisions in life. The Holy Spirit dwelling aids them to be glad and remain in peace at all times. It not only strengthens their faith but sanctifies the soul taking them to the path of salvation. Fears of enmity, sorcery, witchcraft, black magic etc. get ridden off and the Power of Word of God eradicates all such evil acts from your family. The Holy Words comfort the heart, also it begins to burn and shine with His Love. Such a person can feel the presence that God is alive and active in them and their prayers would be answered.

The Holy Bible says, “If you remain in Jesus, His Words remain in you, then you will ask for anything you wish and you shall have it.”  (John 15:7)  All it takes is a pinch of sincerity to avail the benefits.

A person whose life is based on the Word of God is blessed. He will be firm footed and nothing can shake his faith. He overcomes temptations by confessing his faith silently and publicly when need arises. “If you obey My teaching you are really my disciple.  You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”  (John 8: 31)

An individual who regularly and diligently follows Lord Jesus’ teachings will be capable to handle burdens and brokenness of his life in a divine manner and will be bestowed the name ‘A child of God’. The Supreme God will bless his home, children and land. His presence will bring life to those in dark. Ask yourself, dear readers, do you think the God, who did not keep back His own dear Son but offered Him for us, would He do anything against the welfare of your life here as well as Eternal?

 Of course Not!

It is time you find out the culprit standing between God and you. It is without a doubt the work of a destroyer. Dear readers, It is a disgrace to us, humans if we do not give proper honour to the Mother of our Lord Jesus. She offered her only Son to be the victim for our sins. The Holy Bible warns us numerous times, “Be on guard and don’t let anyone deceive you.”

Just as we struggle to educate our children for their welfare to be successful in their life; so also our Father in Heaven wants us to be well educated in the truth and march towards the victorious Eternal Life.

May the Lord bless you and take care of you. May He be kind and gracious to you. May the Lord look on you with favour and give you peace.

With love filled blessings,

Your Sister in Christ
