Faith

 Today’s reflection, 

"If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you shall say unto this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” Matthew 17:20

When I was in my residential school, I remember praying for a person that I was concerned about. Years later, everything has turned good for this person, and I praise God for his life. Today, I find myself in a similar situation, and I need to exercise the same Faith that God is in Control. I need to remind myself that God is bigger than the Boogeyman. Boogeyman, here is my fear:), which is only making things worst. 

At this point, the wisest thing is to hold on to "Faith as small as mustard seed" and do things that are in my control. I need to live my life trusting God and waiting in His presence. I am at peace when I hold on to His promises. As Job did, job was contemplating unfair treatment in his life. His misery stopped the minute he confessed the all-knowing power of God, and instead, Job trusted Him. God blessed him with more than what he had before. 

Faith is the basis of Christianity, and Faith is what keeps you at peace and keeps you going forward. Have a beautiful day. YOU ARE SAFE IN JESUS CHRIST - HAVE FAITH.

Our Personal Relationship with God Matters.

My reflection for today,                                                   Our Personal Relationship with God Matters.  I am a Christian and found my faith in Jesus at the age of sixteen. Sixteen years of my life before knowing Jesus, was just living. To elaborate on the phrase j ust living; I tried really hard to live by the rules of my social environment. I was never great at everything the world around me defined as best, but i tried. As a child it is easy to hide behind the phrase " Oh, she's just a child; she will learn". The older you get, those phrases disappear and so does the excuses. People expect more from an adolescens turning into a young adult. They want you to get serious, productive and effective.  Now, in my forties, I do understand that teenage years are filled with conflict and growth. An age where we seek our identity, where we emotio...

About me

 Hi Readers,  I am Shilpa Catherine and i am in my Forties. I am from India, but live in Europe. I always considered writing as my favorite pastime as a teenager. Writing was and is therapeutic and gives me an opportunity to explore my everyday life and reflect on my past and present. Reflections reveals my mistakes and teaches me new important values that are necessary for future living. Though i have not always been consistent with my writing, but reflection is an ingrained aspect of my everyday life. Now, i am boldly, but freely choosing to write again, because i think it is fun.  To tell you a little about me; I am a spiritual, curious, creative, funny and adventures person. I love to learn, because my mind is full of questions and exploring answers for them would be my lifetime hobby. I say this because i never ran of questions so far. Thank God that I live in an era that gives me access to overflow of information, but using it with a critical lens.  This blog i...

An Honest Prayer to Escape Illusions & Delusions

                                                                                              An Honest prayer to Escape Illusions & Delusions.  She lived in a world of imagination, created by associations which were sparked by moving objects, still images, speaking words and singing songs.  A world of imagination which helped her dive deep into the ocean of delusions created by aesthetic  illusions.   Only to live on the fence of uncertainty and living a life of chances and possibilities.   Leaving behind reality, she found herself no where in the real world.  A lost & a found case, only to recover from being lost and to be found again.  Only, this time, she learnt her lessons, that imaginations are to ...
