Easter Sunday!
This Sunday being Easter Sunday as usual plan of dropping Mom in Church early morning and planning to attend my service little later. As I was thinking of the day and in today's message as well it’s a reminder for me to think of all the areas dead in my life. As I kept thinking I could reflect and see myself being dead in lot of areas in my life. May be with my relationship with God, my personal commitments, my dreams, finances, holiness almost in every area of my life I could feel I'm not what I used to be. It’s a reminder from God that all the dead areas of my life He is breathing life into it. It may be like that of Lazurus who was dead and buried. But when God called him He was resurrected from death. This Easter Sunday be the last of all the dead seasons have recently experienced in all the areas of my life as everything is going to be resurrected. I'm not sure for who it is if you are feeling that everything is dead in ur life there is no future hope. There is no way around and no one to help or feel that you have have gone far far away from the Lord and you are not worthy of his resurrection power. It’s a reminder for you that God Loves you more than anything or anyone. His resurrection power is going to be manifested in every walk of your life where you feel nothing can be done and everything is dead. Experience His mighty resurrection in every walk of life this Season.

Reflecting Journey
In the last couple of years, had some interactions with few people gave very good experience. Some of them was too good, how a person can be so caring and out of they way someone can come and help when in need. Also few people though they can't be of big help knowing their inability to help still out of care they keep checking on every single day to make sure everything is ok and helping us to get over things, motivating encouraging and praying. Also I had few interactions with few people just broke the heart. After all the caring and doing everything beyond ability wasting all the time, money and energy just cos of the love and care for them. But when their things are taken care and when they found people with more money or who can be of better help they left and they are no where to be seen. Not being seen around is also fine, and not even having a little care about us is also fine, but the way they treat us once they get money breaks the heart. Sometimes its overwhelming cos we could have done all cos of love and care. How can be people so heartless without any love and care. Some times those breaking moments is needed to move on. Not everyone are destined to travel in our journey till the end. There are few people comes to our lives as blessing and few as lessons. Sometimes its really very difficult to forgive cos of the hurt. But I could feel God asking to forgive but its not that easy, its difficult. I have been struggling on that lately, of lot of struggle I have forgiven them.
It was a time for me to reflect on how many times I have been like that as well to others, some times encouraging sometimes heartbreaking. If I would have been like that heartbreaking to anyone without my knowledge I ask of that forgiveness and will never ever do that mistake even without my knowledge and will be of encouraging to others. Also at the same time, its also a reminder not only to forgive them but not to forget what they have done in the past its not about grudge its about being aware of who they are and what they are capable to repeat the same mistakes over and over again. When they don't even realize what they have done, it’s a red flag and those people are not destined to be in our journey. As how we meet people in our train journey few people just have to stay around just for a station some of them for few more stations not everyone may be destined to travel through out. So lets not worry about who hurt and left us they are destined for us for a short period of time to teach a very valuable lesson to not repeat the mistake with anyone going forward caring, wasting time money and energy on anyone who don't appreciate. But at the same time there are few people who were sticking around even when we could have done nothing to them but they would have treasured us like anything those are the people who needs to be in the journey.

Unknown Destination
I was once travelling on my car to an unknown destination. The person has sent me the location to their place. As I have been out for the whole day and haven't charged my phone for a while. As I was about to reach the destination in 10 or 15 mins my phone completely got drained. As the phone is completely drained unable to check the location in google maps. Little impatient to wait for the phone to be charged to restart the journey. Quickly asked someone on the road for the direction and started the journey. After couple of turns and going quite a long way realized we have taken a wrong turn. Again when asked someone else they also directed again in a complete wrong direction and we almost went opposite to our destination. After the phone got little charged still unable to locate direction as the data wasn't working at all for some reason it wasn't connecting properly. Not sure of what to be done called the person who asked us to come. He then directed us with the exact route, following his instructions we were able to take an U-turn and get back to the direction where we need to go and we were able to reach the destination though it got little delayed but we were able to reach exactly where we wanted to reach. When I was thinking over this incident one thing I was able to relate was to our calling or destinations what God has planned in our lives. Most of the time we get deviated when we aren't connected to God and we be carried away by all who says as it’s the direction or the journey we need to take. There is nothing wrong in getting counsel there is nothing wrong in asking the direction as they will be able to guide with their experience. Though they are experienced and share with lot of concern and love sometimes they might not be able to guide to exact destination we ought to be heading. Cos they can share sometimes only with their intellectual experience or facts. But they can't see beyond the facts experience what God has called or what God has chosen us for and where He has planned to take us on a journey. Only God can reveal the exact destination where we supposed to be heading and He can only show the exact way to take. Sometimes even the intellectuals, experienced and the concerned people advices may lead to wrong turns U turns leading to the change the course of direction though it may seem to be all good but that’s not the way God really wants us to take. The path or the route sometimes God takes us or when we take those routes not listening to them others might think we are stupid or dumb head or arrogant not listening to their advice as it was shared with concern love and care. But that may be the exact path He wants us to take sometimes to make us fail to learn our lesson to break our Self to equip ourselves to make us strong on the journey so that we are well equipped enough to be in the place or the destination where He has called or chosen us for. We could only know the exact route where we ought to take only and only when we are connected to Him and seek His guidance that time only we can hear His voice of where He wants us to go. Though if we have failed listening to His voice and lead by others and gone far far away, still we can get back to Him and ask Him to redirect our paths of where He wants us to be He will guide us though it may got delayed due to some unknown or wrong directions taken we can still get back to where God really wants us to be in the journey for the destination what He chose us for.
