When God says “wait”
I just got an email from Rajsh again. Good thing she shared this to me. I could have forgotten about God’s Time had I not gone through this nice article. Thanks my dear. Ü
Getting in to Heaven… The Gifts or The Giver?
Rajsh sent another nice Bible verse in my email..read up and be inspired 
Read detailed explanation
**detailed explanation**
Getting into Heaven is not about what you’ve done; it’s about what God’s done.
You have probably encountered a few people who hoped that they would get into Heaven because they have lived a good life. Indeed, there are many people in the world who think that all the right things they do will get them into Heaven. However, Paul knew that “There is no one righteous, not even one” (Romans 3:10). Fortunately, God loved us so much that He provided an answer: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16). Furthermore, 1 Peter 3:18 tells us that “Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God.”
Therefore, it is no wonder Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6).
Notice that nothing in any of those verses refers to our ability to reach Heaven. That’s because it is impossible for us to reach Heaven on our own strength. Remember, “There is no one righteous, not even one.” Therefore, our salvation must be based entirely on what God has done. “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9).
The only requirement for getting into Heaven is believing in Jesus as your Savior and Lord. “If you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved” (Romans 10:9-10).
There is nothing that you can do to earn salvation. Jesus is the only way to Heaven. That’s because getting into Heaven is not about what you’ve done; it’s about what God’s done.
Are you seeking the gifts or the Giver?
Sometimes we get so caught up in seeking God’s presents that we forget all about His presence! God wants every believer to remain in His presence and have a personal relationship with Him just like you would with any other friend.
King David knew the importance of seeking God’s presence and dwelling with Him. In Psalm 27:4, David writes, One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple. David set himself to seek and require one thing–God’s presence.
The next two verses (Psalm 27:5-6) tell us the rewards of seeking God: For in the day of trouble He will keep me safe in His dwelling; He will hide me in the shelter of His tabernacle and set me high upon a rock. Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me; at His tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the Lord.
The rewards of seeking God are awesome; not only will you develop a closer relationship with God, but you will also find true joy and contentment.
Psalm 16:11 says, You will fill me with joy in your presence. In other words, joy is found in God’s presence–not His presents! Therefore, evaluate your life to make sure that you’re seeking God, not just His gifts.
“A blessed week to you!”
This subject line caught my attention when I opened up my office email. Not the usual greeting from an officemate, but when I saw the name of the sender, I know I was truly blessed. Rajsh continuously inspire me in many ways she never knew she can. And when I got this email from her, I know she knew what I’ve been wanting to hear. Ü
Here’s the link. Enjoy and be blessed! Ü

But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
1 Timothy 6:6-10 (New International Version)

“As you get older, every choice that you make defines who you’re gonna turn into. And every once in a while, you need to look at yourself & ask if you like the person you’re becoming.”
