Isn't it beautiful

"You can live your life as if nothing were a miracle,
Or you can live your life as if everything is"

So goes a famous saying. Let us recall those things that are make us wonder:

Isn't it beautiful...
That God's wisdom can be found everywhere
That fools can be wiser than the wise
That the greatest chose to be a carpenters son
That years after working and living, some people realize that the beautiful secrets of life - love and truth - in the most unexpected places...

Isn't it beautiful...
That God loves us so much
That God came to our planet
That he offers himself to come into us
That His love is forever eternal
That the earth shows some shadows of the great heavens
That what we cannot understand with our minds, God reveals to us through our hearts and the Spirit.

That the perfect came to OUR EARTH!!
That perfect love is possible here!!
That death is not the end...
That peace can be found in agony...
That love remains love through pain
That forgiveness is infinite....
That JESUS rides in victory in our darkest moments...

Isn't it beautiful!!!
That we can enter the pearly gates,
That we can ascend the heavenly stairs,
That we can live paradise here on earth,
In the love of our Lord in our hearts,
That that paradise will be all around then...
That we can sing of His love forever...


I hope the beauty of life and hope of heaven fills each of you, my beloved readers. God bless!!

Maturity in Christian Life

Here is a nice article I composed long ago.

Humility in Sacrifice

We have so much to learn about Christian life. We want to fool ourselves and say we are good and prefer the comfort of Christ. Let us re-think how we approach sacrifice and good works. Let us have a heart of love and desire only God's will. Let us not try to be right in the sight of people. Rather, let us see our darkness and seek the light of Christ more.

Jesus says - "no one is good". And indeed, we cannot be put right by our actions. Only Jesus sacrifice makes us righteous.
