Patience

 Today's reflection


                                                                    Patience


Patience is one word, that I keep hearing very often these days. Life might seem unfair and testing, but in every waiting I have learnt that there is always a purpose. As the bible verse says, that everything happens for good for those who trust in the Lord. I believe in this waiting, there is something good. Waiting without compromising your values always bears spiritual fruit of patience. Waiting as a result of your own indiscipline, teaches your more discipline. 

Whatever be the reason of the waiting, as a Christian our purpose in life is more spiritual, than earthly. Righteousness, peace and joy in the holy spirit, these are the things we focus on and strive towards. Everything else come and go, but remaining faithful in that we have before us is what counts. Not growing weary, but with a hopeful heart, pressing forward and doing our best in things at hand. As well as being thankful for all the beautiful experiences life has taught us, that you can leave behind. A treasure of learnt experiences, that might help someone move forward. 

I believe in God, that He has plans to prosper us and not to destroy us. Trusting, thanking and waiting on Him, is all that I need this Christmas. And I wait in patience. Amen.

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 ...
