The world is not black and white….

God is amazing in that He who is majestic in His ways and sovereign in His rule, takes the time to paint nature for us…, a palette of more than 16m colours, if we can even count.

God did not give us a black and white world but a world of great colours. It is us humans who want to push everything into either white or black. Why do we put ourselves and others into such labels? Like the zero cannot be a one and vice versa in the digital world, we who force people into ‘good’ / ‘bad’ by our own pairs of glasses, force people into ‘for us’ /’against us’ by our own past experiences, force people into pre-labelled boxes, by our own norms.

We get upset when others do that to us but we happily do that to others. We are all hypocritical – the one who labels others as hypocritical is equally as guilty if not more. So, perhaps we should stop putting people into boxes, and stop accusing others, and be first to see the log in our own eyes, instead of the speck in the other person’s eyes.

Quotations:

God starts us out on a life course to fulfill a certain purpose and then, only when we are ready, He gives us course corrections. Like a good river pilot, He steers us away from troubled waters, and like a good coach, He never puts us in the game until we are ready. The journey is never boring.

REMEMBER THIS ABOUT YOU...

  Read this out loud to yourself, and mean it!!

  I am precious, valuable, lovable and capable.
  The world will not be the same without me.
  I make a difference in this world, in the community I live in.
  I can make another person smile.
  I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
  I sing for I am loved by a great God whose nature is to give  love, mercy and grace.

  [In Hindi]
  Mai amulya hoon.
  Yeh duniya mayray bina wahi nahin rahegi.
  Mayray hone say is duniya mein kuch badlav hai.
  Mujh se doosre ke chahre pay muskuraahat aati hai.
  Mujhe bhayankar se banaya gaya hai.
  Mujhe gaana hai ki ek mahaan; ishwhar mujhe pyaar karte.
  Hain aur mayray prati daya dikhaate hain.
