Working together with God

 

Our efforts must work together(1) with God's Grace(2).

For God's Grace is a living water, in which human efforts come to fruition.

Let our life be on the path of love (of God), then our efforts will be rightly guided for the welfare of humankind, and generously accompanied by God's Grace.

[1]Our efforts must conform to God's ways. God's Grace is on the path that gives honour to God— not on the path of selfish ambition; self-interest; self-indulgence and restless curiosity that manipulates nature; defiles human dignity and tampers God's creation.

[2]God's Blessing is always with us. God is always ready to help us— provided we are with God— on the path of God;

provided our Faith is with God; our Humility is with God;

provided our efforts are not inclined on the path of self-glory and pride and defiance to God.

Touch of Love

If Love¹ is the receptionist of our heart, then every moment will be handled wisely and every heart will be touched by God's Grace— for God works through Love.

1. Love that reveres God and obeys God’s Commandments.

Built on Love and Forgiveness

Our life is built on Love and Forgiveness— in the reverence of God.
When you Love— you must also forgive.
It is only when we forgive that we begin to Love more¹ and grow increasingly more in the goodness of God.

Forgiveness is the most important act of Love.
An act of Forgiveness is more pleasing and agreeable to God than any sacrifice.

Only a life of Love and Forgiveness can clear all the mess of sins we commit daily— because Love and Forgiveness pleases God to show HIS Great Mercy and forgive our many sins.

1. Forgiveness is not an easy act of Love. So when you perform the difficult act of Forgiveness, you receive abundance of God's Grace— to love, even more.

Be Patient with your weaknesses

One moment we confess our sins, the next we sin again.
One moment we resolve to be Obedient and Faithful to God, the next we falter again.
This is the weakness of human flesh.

Be Patient with your weaknesses.
Be Persevering in your Faith in God.
For Faith will gradually grow strong to overcome every kind of weakness and sin.

What is conquered through  Faith and Grace of God  is conquered forever.

Faith and sin

Faith¹ and Love, together acts as a spiritual immune² system of our body.
Faith keeps the fire of Charity burning brightly in our hearts.

The weakness of our Faith weakens the fire of Charity— which subsequently allows sin to creep in our heart.

Pray God to strengthen your Faith in HIM.

1. Faith acts through Love. The more we grow strong in Faith, the more it will perform deeds of Love— eventually, our Love for God and our fellow beings will grow stronger.

2. Faith and Love forms a strong rampart of God's Grace that shields us from every kind of evil and sin.

Man shall not live by bread alone

There are two strengths which govern and maintain our well-being viz. the strength of immunity and the strength of God's Grace.

With advancing age our immunity may weaken, but God's Grace always remains invincibly strong and it protects us against wickedness and every kind of harm.

God has created us in such a way that for the greater part of our life we should rely on the strength of HIS Grace and less on our own strength— that we live humbly and in Gratefulness to God— and not exult  in the  Pride of our strength¹.

Trust in God and live in HIS Grace².

It is better to be in the hands of God than to rely on the weak rampart of our own immune strength.

1. Physical; Intellectual; Emotional.
2. Stay away from everything that corrupts our soul.

God is waiting– for our humble return

God's hand is always outstretched to offer us HIS saving help.
HIS  Merciful heart is always constantly waiting to forgive our sins.
HE is always Patiently waiting  for our humble¹  return.
His Sanctifying Grace is always waiting to renew us and restore us.
But, if we don't  step towards God's saving Grace², we'll hopelessly³ die in our sins⁴.

1. To come back to HIM with sincerity and humility-  with all our heart.

2. Jesus Christ; in HIM alone is our salvation.

3. Condemned for eternity.

4. To perish in our sins due to our stubborn unbelief in God.

Eternally with HIM

God wants us to live and be alive¹, in HIS love– that we may live with HIM, forever.

1. In a state of God's Grace, where we believe and acknowledge Jesus Christ, as our salvation.

If we persevere to be alive in HIM, now– we shall continue to live with HIM in Eternal life.

Jesus Christ is God's saving grace.

Money vs Graces

We earn money to keep our body.
Similarly, we stand in greater need of Graces to keep our soul.

Money sustains us in this life.
Graces( obtained through Prayer and Good works ) provide for life now and next.

Any negligence in the care of our soul, will only lead us to Eternal damnation.

Temptations

Temptations of the World are speciously disguised as " sugar coated tablets "- pleasurable vanity on outside with a deadly poison of vanity from inside.

Thanks-be-to-God !!!

For those who Faithfully believe in HIM, HIS Grace is a powerful antidote against every kind of sin of Vanity.
