WHEN FRUSTRATION IS YOUR FRIEND

Many-a-times we find frustration just hanging out with us like a friend who would just not let go. Frustration is one of the emotions every person goes through and the one that really is not cool. One would do anything to get out of it. But the truth is that it's not so easy to come out of it, especially when it involves JESUS  in the scenario. Why I say this is because, God gives us many promises in our lives and many at times we don’t see all those promises come to pass.

 Often times it is that the fulfilment of these promises are the need of the hour in our lives. It is at these times when we get really frustrated about the whole move of God. As this continues we just tend to doubt and question the very existence of the creator Himself. It is very common and many-a-times we do not know how to come out of this.  

Sometimes we’re in the place of Abraham where God promises Issac in his life and all chances of Issac coming into the world was nearly around 0%. Still Abraham was able to go the process and see the fulfilment of his promises.let me guide you through how God thinks we must see the whole ’frustration’ scenario.
Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.                                                                                                  Romans 5:3-5.      
If we look at this passage from romans 5, we would see how Paul says that he rejoices in his suffering.we can compare the suffering to the frustration as it is a form of suffering we go through in our minds. Paul goes on to say that suffering(frustration) produces endurance and that character and that hope, but at the end of all this he finally says hope does not put us to shame because God’s love is in us. What does Paul mean by saying this.well to know why he mentioned love we must know about loves…
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.                                                 1 corinthians 13:7

Here we see Paul mentioning that love believes, hopes and endures all things.this means the very reason why Paul mentioned love in romans 5 is because love is what can get you through the suffering as it endures all things. Not just any LOVE but the Love of God that went to the extent of dying for us. The way out of the whole frustration problem is ‘THE LOVE OF GOD’.

Instead of looking at the frustrating situation with eyes of hatred start looking with the eyes of hope and love in Jesus. When we start doing this we will go through the process that god is taking us not with unwillingness but with the attitude “I AM DOING THIS FOR GOD” that is filled with love and joy. All we need to ask God is to fill us with more of His love in our hearts that we will not show the same frustration to others around us. 
This will just be our way of saying that it does not matter what goes on around I am still going to show love and move with God and find my way out of this with THE KING OF KINGS by my side.

! WORRY ! – YOU DON’T NEED THAT

Worry is an emotion that we cannot avoid in our lives, as there is always something in our lives to worry about. Everyone who is reading this is worrying or has been worrying because of the present situation of the world. With the rise of the pandemic in the world, everybody is worried about how they are going to get through another day. Worrying is something all of us do even in the absence of a worldwide pandemic. It is mostly a part of our lives and most of the times we don’t even recognize the fact that we are consumed by worry. We would even find ourselves in situations where we would not be able to do any work at house or where we study just because something else was running at the back of our mind that constantly kept bothering us. It may be some situation we couldn’t figure out a solution for. Anything for that matter it’s not about what keeps us worried but rather the fact that we choose to worry. Do you ever think that you could be someone whose life has everythin...

THE CALLING - Know your enemy

As we are in the journey of learning about ‘the calling’ God has kept over our lives, we need to know about our enemy. The enemy is the one who is always waiting to stop us from doing the will of God in our lives. Therefore, we must have a complete understanding of our enemy and his strategies. This will help us to overcome the oppositions and trials on our way that we may stand in our calling till the end.   Under this topic, I am going to talk, in a practical manner, on what are the things that the devil will bring on our way in the walk with God, how he does that and how to overcome it all. Firstly, let’s look into the solution before we go to the problem, but the truth is that you already know the answer to the problem. Well, if you are wondering what the solution is? The answer is- relationship with God. I have already explained in detail about the various aspects of this relationship we are to have with God. Let me remind you of the 3 things that happen in the relationship w...

THE CALLING - How to?

Welcome to this blog as I continue the series 'THE CALLING'. In the previous blog, we saw in-depth about what the calling of God is. In this blog, we are going to see how to walk in the calling of god over our lives. Now that we have understood ‘what’ the calling of God is and some of the important things about the calling of God over our lives, let us go to Matthew 7:21, where we saw Jesus saying that doing the will of God is the only way to enter heaven and If we read further, the scriptures say like this: On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’   But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’ Matthew 7:22-23 Here we see Jesus saying what He meant when He said ‘WILL OF GOD’ in the previous verse. In other terms, Jesus is saying how we are to stand and pursue the calling of God over our lives. In verse 22, Jesus says that just beca...
