Fish and water


Hi ...
1 Corinthians 12:26-27 says
26 If one part suffers, every part suffers with it;
if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
 27 Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.
Those who belong to Jesus Christ are part of one big Spiritual family. We have to be sensitive to the feelings of our brothers and sisters in Christ.
We need to have a caring heart, a thoughtful and encouraging word, a listening ear.

Water said..." But I can feel your tears because you are in my heart!"Image Hosted by ImageShack.us


We God's children live in different Continents, Nations and States,
but still feel for each other, love one another, shed a tear when one of us is in pain .

~~Why?
~~It's because we share this Fish-Water relationship!
We may not see that tear,
But feel it because of the same indwelling Holy Spirit within us.
Agree with me..?
Romans 12: 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.
God knows that we are part of a large family and wants us to be sensitive to the joys, pains and feelings of our fellow believers.!
Have a blessed and beautiful day,
Let this day bring you Abba Father's unfailing love.
For you have put your trust in our Lord Jesus/Yeshua.
May He show you the way you should go,
For to Him you lift up your soul.
Psalm 143:8, " Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, 
       for I have put my trust in you. 
       Show me the way I should go, 
       for to you I lift up my soul."
Good Night,
YSIC,
Julia

Relationship thrives on transparency~


Hi...
It's said................
"Relationship thrives on transparency.....
Transparency is a result of trust."
When you trust someone you can share your pains, joys & just anything & be sure you are understood....
Jesus  Christ our Lord calls us His friends...if we keep His  commands in John 15:14. 
If we fear Him He will confide ( Tell us the secrets of his heart) in us (PSalm 25:14)!
Hey doesn't that sound great!
Psalm 103:7 says He made His ways known to Moses!
Let's hunger & thirst for such a relationship with God! 
As a deer pants for streams of water may our soul long after God!(Psalm 42:1)
Let's thank God for our family, loved ones and Godly friends.......

Be blessed!

Renewing relationship with parents.


Hi......

There are kids who have strained relationship with parents, right?

God wants to restore honor and renew this vital relationship.

Some practical tips to help kids reach out to your parents.

Pass it on to all who have parents~


  • Love and honor your parents for it's God's command.
  • Accept correction when you are wrong.
  • If you hurt them say sorry. If you can't say it then you can leave a note for mom on her kitchen table or for dad in his bag or shirt pocket.
  • Don't return your parent's love with cold ingratitude.
  • When you see your mother's tears or father's sighs, find out what's bothering them and try to help them, encourage them, pray for them.
  • Ask not what your parents can do for you but what you can do for them. 
  • Be helpful at home, run errands for them cheerfully and not out of compulsion. You can accompany mom to the bazaar, help dad to fix things at home.
  • Look out for ways & means to make them happy. Remember their birthdays, anniversary and give them cards or gifts or a surprise party!
  • Don't expect to get all you want. Be prepared to accept a 'NO'. 
  • Look at the less fortunate kids around you and you'll be satisfied with what you have.
  • Never do anything to betray their trust.When your parents loose faith in you, you've lost a lot
  • If mom or dad yell at you..pause a moment and ask yourself....

a)Why are they shouting?

b)Is it really my mistake?

c) May be mom/ dad is sick or depressed!

d)Will my shouting back help to ease the situation?

It's better to explain to them after they cool down if it's not your mistake or say 'sorry' and accept correction.

  • Be concerned if you parents are sick, take them to the doctor, see if they take their medicines on time.
  • Communicate with them and build a good friendship with them. A simple act of reaching out , holding their hands, giving them a hug or a kiss will make so much of a difference...!
  • Don't be irritable and complaining at all times.
  • Your loving smile, encouraging words, self sacrificing love will have a positive influence on them.

Dear children will you commit to renew your relationship with
your parents?

If 'YES' then the Holy Spirit will help you draw close to your mom and dad and narrow the generation gap.

God Bless you !
