Avoiding something does not always mean that you hate it. It could also mean that you want it, but you just know that it is not right.

God does not have a specific time to hear your cry. Call unto Him anytime, morning, noon, evening or night. He is ready to answer your prayers and deliver you. When you are worried, that no one is there to hear your sufferings, God is there to hear your voice.

Be with someone who knows what they have, when they have you.

There is nothing like a complicated thing in this world, but only complicated-minded people making simple things complicated.

You can conquer the world with one hand as long as the other is held by someone who you trust & loves you the most.

If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think another negative thought.

It is not about who you have been with, it is about who you end up with. Sometimes, the heart does not know what it wants until it finds what it wants.

Is your heart filled with questions and doubts, whenever a need arises? Remember two things in life when you have a need.

First, have faith in God. Never doubt on God's power. He can meet all your needs. Secondly, never lose your self-confidence. Because, your ability along with faith in God, will fulfill all your needs.

Every time you cannot find a reason to keep on living, remember there are people who would give anything to be in your place.

The purpose of relationship is not to have someone who might complete you, but to have someone with whom you might share your incompleteness.

COMMITMENT does not mean sticking to a person when you do not have any option. It means keeping a relation with someone even though you have lots of options.

In reality, people judge you for your actions without knowing the reason behind it.

If everyone cared & nobody cried, if everyone loved & nobody lied, if everyone shared & swallowed their pride, then we did see the day, when nobody died.

The end comes when we no longer talk with ourselves. It is the end of genuine thinking and the beginning of the final loneliness.

You should not sacrifice who are you just because somebody else has a problem with it.

You Are In God's Hands

Today is in God's hands and so are you.

His hands are strong and will uphold you;
His hands are great and will enfold you;
His hands are gentle and will embrace you;
His hands are protective and will cover you;
His hands are reassuring and will quiet you;
His hands are powerful and will defend you;
His hands are parental and will train you;
His hands are masterful and will conform you;
His hands are compassionate and will care for you;
His hands are healing and will renew you;
His hands are calming and will comfort you;
His hands are giving and will bless you.

The hands that hold you will never let you down.

Sometimes you just need to distance yourself from people. If they care, they will notice. If they don't, you know where you stand.

Too often, the thing you want most is the one thing you cannot have. Desire leaves us heartbroken, it wears us out. Desire can wreck your life, but as tough as wanting something can be. The people who suffer the most, are those who do not know what they want.

You will never be happy if you do not stop looking back, if you cannot let go of your past. Things can only haunt you if you let them. People are only remembered if you refuse to forget them. You can either live or survive. You can either be the hero or the victim. It is your choice.

If your wish does not come true then something better is meant for you.

Sometimes life takes an unexpected wrong turn in the right direction!!!

If you think you can only be happy when all problems disappear, you will never be happy.

Hearing is inherent, but listening is learned. In a relationship, nothing is more important than listening to the other partner.

The reason why it is hard to be happy is because you find it hard to let go of the things that make you sad.

Life is too ironic to fully understand. It takes sadness to know what happiness is, noise to appreciate silence and absence to value presence.

Anger is one of the reason to commit sin. You lose your mind when you are angry and you will not be able to think what is right and wrong. If you are angry on someone, make peace before the sun goes down. Through that unwanted anger, do not give space for the devil to rule over you. Peace and forgiveness is what God has taught us all.

It takes a strong person to say sorry, and an ever stronger person to forgive.

The worst kind of pain is when you are smiling just to stop the tears from falling.

Sometimes you have to forget what has gone, appreciate what still remains and look forward to what is coming next.

Money or anything gained through honesty will last forever. But anything gained through injustice, might bring happiness for the meantime, but will vanish away soon. Always, be happy with what you have and never give up your honesty. You will be honored by God and you will be surely rewarded.

No one can change a person, but one person can be the reason someone changes.

A second chance does not mean anything if you have not learned from your first mistake.

The people that are the hardest to love are usually the ones that need it the most.

There comes a time in every life when the world gets quiet and the only thing left is your own heart. So you did better learn to know the sound of it. Otherwise you will never understand what it is saying.

THINK BEFORE YOU ACT!

Today before you say an unkind word - Think of someone who cannot speak.

Before you complain about the taste of your food - Think of someone who has nothing to eat.

Before you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone who is crying out to God for a companion.

Today before you complain about life - Think of someone who went too early to heaven.

Before whining about the distance you drive - Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.

And when you are tired and complain about your job - Think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job.

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on your face and think you are alive and still around.

The reason why a seesaw was made for two people is that when you go down, there would always be someone there to lift you up again.

You might have thought that, by being patient, you cannot achieve anything. But that is not true. A work done without patience cannot be 100% accurate and you will mess it up somewhere. But remember that, patience and steadiness always brings fullness and perfection in your life. Do not get worried when God does not respond to your cry on time. Wait patiently, God will wipe out your tears and He will redeem you.

Life is too short to stress yourself with people who do not even deserve to be an issue in your life.

Disappointments are just God's way of saying: "I have got something better, be patient, live life and have faith".

Cheers to the person who broke our hearts, because without them then we would not be with the person we love today!

God is your refuge and safe tower, when you are in times of trouble, difficulty or when you need comfort that no one else can give you. But, you need to do only one thing. Run towards Him and you will be safe.

The higher you build the walls around your heart, the harder you fall when someone break them down.

There is no greater sorrow than to recall in misery the time when we were happy.

Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.

The quickest way to get the attention of someone is to no longer want it.

We are what we repeatedly do. Therefore, excellence, is not an act but a habit.

Great Story of Son And Father

A wealthy man and his son loved to collect rare works of art. They had everything in their collection, from Picasso to Raphael. They would often sit together and admire the great works of art.

When the Vietnam conflict broke out, the son went to war. He was very courageous and died in battle while rescuing another soldier. The father was notified and grieved deeply for his only son.

About a month later, just before Christmas, there was a knock at the door. A young man stood at the door with a large package in his hands.

He said, "Sir, you don't know me, but I am the soldier for whom your son gave his life. He saved many lives that day, and he was carrying me to safety when a bullet struck him in the heart and he died instantly. He often talked about you, and your love for art." The young man held out this package. "I know this isn't much. I'm not really a great artist, but I think your son would have wanted you to have this."

The father opened the package. It was a portrait of his son, painted by the young man. He stared in awe at the way the soldier had captured the personality of his son in the painting. The father was so drawn to the eyes that his own eyes welled up with tears. He thanked the young man and offered to pay him for the picture. "Oh, no sir, I could never repay what your son did for me. It's a gift."

The father hung the portrait over his mantle. Every time visitors came to his home he took them to see the portrait of his son before he showed them any of the other great works he had collected.

The man died a few months later. There was to be a great auction of his paintings. Many influential people gathered, excited over seeing the great paintings and having an opportunity to purchase one for their collection.

On the platform sat the painting of the son The auctioneer pounded his gavel. "We will start the bidding with this picture of the son. Who will bid for this picture?"

There was silence.

Then a voice in the back of the room shouted, "We want to see the famous paintings. Skip this one."

But the auctioneer persisted. "Will somebody bid for this painting. Who will start the bidding? $100, $200?"

Another voice angrily. "We didn't come to see this painting. We came to see the Van Gogh's, the Rembrandt's. Get on with the real bids!"

But still the auctioneer continued. "The son! The son! Who'll take the son?"

Finally, a voice came from the very back of the room. It was the longtime gardener of the man and his son. "I'll give $10 for the painting." Being a poor man, it was all he could afford.

"We have $10, who will bid $20?"

"Give it to him for $10. Let's see the masters."

"$10 is the bid, won't someone bid $20?"

The crowd was becoming angry. They didn't want the picture of the son.

They wanted the more worthy investments for their collections.

The auctioneer pounded the gavel. "Going once, twice, SOLD for $10!"

A man sitting on the second row shouted, "Now let's get on with the collection!"

The auctioneer laid down his gavel. "I'm sorry, the auction is over."

"What about the paintings?"

"I am sorry. When I was called to conduct this auction, I was told of a secret stipulation in the will. I was not allowed to reveal that stipulation until this time. Only the painting of the son would be auctioned. Whoever bought that painting would inherit the entire estate, including the paintings."

"The man who took the son gets everything!"

God gave His son 2,000 years ago to die on the cross. Much like the auctioneer, His message today is: "The son, the son, who'll take the son?"

Because, you see, whoever takes the Son gets everything.

FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, WHO SO EVER BELIEVETH, SHALL HAVE ETERNAL LIFE... THAT'S LOVE.

A Little Boy And His Father

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door.

SON: "Daddy, may I ask you a question?"

DAD: "Yeah sure, what is it?" replied the man.

SON: "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"

DAD: "That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?" the man said angrily.

SON: "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?"

DAD: "If you must know, I make Rs.100 an hour."

SON: "Oh," the little boy replied, with his head down.

SON: "Daddy, may I please borrow Rs.50?"

The father was furious, "If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this childish behavior."

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.

The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?

After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down and started to think: May be there was something he really needed to buy with that Rs.50 and he really did not ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door. "Are you asleep, son?" He asked.

"No daddy, I am awake," replied the boy..

"I have been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier" said the man.

"It has been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here is the Rs.50 you asked for."

The little boy sat straight up, smiling. "Oh, thank you daddy!" He yelled.

Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father.

"Why do you want more money if you already have some?" the father grumbled.

"Because I did not have enough, but now I do," the little boy replied.

"Daddy, I have Rs. 100 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow I would like to have dinner with you.”

The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he begged for his forgiveness.

It is just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts.

Do remember to share that Rs.100 worth of your time with someone you love.

If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days.

But the family friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our family.

Who is a DAD?

A dad is someone who wants to catch you before you fall but instead picks you up, brushes you off and lets you try again.

A dad is someone who wants to keep you from making mistakes but instead lets you find your own way, even though his heart breaks in silence
when you get hurt.

A dad is someone who holds you when you cry,
scolds you when you break the rules, shines with pride when you succeed and has faith in you even when you fail.

The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.

Well, there comes a time in your life when you realize something. You realize that you love your life, you love your friends, you love your family, you love everyone, you enjoy the time you are with your friends, you enjoy spending time with your family, you feel comfortable where you are, you love the things you do, you share your love and your smile, you share a smile to the mirror and realize that you are HAPPY.

It is easy to look at people and make quick judgments about them, their present and their past, but you did be amazed at the pain and tears a single smile hides. What a person shows to the world is only one tiny facet of the iceberg hidden from sight. And more often then not, it is lined with cracks and scars that go all the way to the foundation of their soul.

Realization!!!

Well, there comes a time in your life when you realize something. You realize that you love your life, you love your friends, you love your family, you love everyone, you enjoy the time you are with your friends, you enjoy spending time with your family, you feel comfortable where you are, you love the things you do, you share your love and your smile, you share a smile to the mirror and realize that you are HAPPY.

A happy relationship is made up of two good forgivers.

Do not under estimate yourself. Remember, without your presence someones life will not be complete.

Being alone, even lonely, is better than being together with wrong people.

Be happy, not because everything is good, but because you can see the good side of everything.

The first step is not in the taking of the first step; it is in deciding to take the first step.

In this world, people want you to be the worst, think you are the worst and make you feel like you are the worst. But, once you get that kind of cruel, pain inflicting attention, you know YOU ARE THE BEST!

What matters most is not Reward, Praise, or Pride. What matters most is that at the end of the day, YOU TRIED.

What matters most is not Reward, Praise, or Pride. What matters most is that at the end of the day, YOU TRIED.

If you think fate controls who walks into your life, its you who decide who you let walk out, who you let stay and who you refuse to let go.

Avoiding something does not always mean that you hate it. It could also mean that you want it, but you just know that it is not yours.

If you have a misunderstanding or a gap in your relationship with anyone around you, you should establish Peace. Talk to them, let them be the winner of the little useless fight or an argument. If you do that, you will see yourself as a peaceful person in a longer run. The same people who fought with you, will love to spend time with you.

It is tough when someone special starts to ignore you. It is even tougher to pretend that you do not mind.

In this world, except God, no one is superior to the other. Woman is not superior to man nor man is superior to woman. So get rid of your dominating nature and get started to sacrifice things for each other. A life with cooperation will automatically let happiness flow in.

Fact of life: By the time you realize, what your parents said was right, you will have a kid, who begins to think, you are wrong.

Once you lose the person you used to be, you have two choices, find that person, or lose that person completely.

Be kinder than necessary. Because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Do not hold on to your past, there is a reason it is not coming back.

Life is so much better when you mind your own business.

You were born because you are going to be important to someone, if not for all. Have a good day!

Sorry is like a band aid. Just because you use it, does not mean it is going to heal the wound.

We do not need to rush. If somethings bound to happen, it will happen. In the right time, with the right person and for the best reason.

You cannot steal anyone from anybody. They were already prepared to leave, you are just the excuse.

God is always watching you and guiding you in all your ways. You may think that you are far away from Him because of your sins. Do not worry. Come near to God and He will come near to you. God is always with you. Have a Blessed Sunday!

If you really think or been told by someone that you are not what you are, then think over and analyze for yourself. If you are mislead because of your bad company of friends, colleagues or whoever it may be, ignore them or they will ruin your personality and will destroy your happiness.

Go for someone whose not only proud and glad to have you but, will also take every risk and effort just to be with you.

Best difference between Promises and Memories.
Promises: We break them. Memories: They break us.

Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies within us while we live.

Worry does not help troubles of tomorrow, but it does ruin happiness of today.

Change is a natural thing. Let it sweep you up and carry you into the uncertain future. Those who love you will stand by you through it all.

Tips on How to Control Your Anger!

Be a good listener before you become a good speaker. Always think before you speak and speak slowly which will surely help to control your anger.

Listening is a very big topic, most of the people are brought up in a way of not listening to others. This is not intentional but natural for all. Try to read some good books and improve your listening skills. This will change your life entirely.

Speaking slow will save you from spilling unwanted words during an argument.

Avoid situation that drives you crazy, if you are angry on sometime find a way not to think about it. You CANNOT achieve anything with your anger.

Powerful is not he who knocks the other down, but it is he who controls himself in a fit of anger.

In Life, Shortcomings, Loss & Setbacks are INEVITABLE. But Suffering, Worry & Sadness are all OPTIONAL. Be cheerful and happy always! Just take care of your health and family, happiness will follow you wherever you go or be!

You may plan on many things, which you would think will be the best for you. But all your plans may not be successful. It is because God has plans which are more flourishing, excellent and more suitable for your life. God always does the best for you.

The Road to Success

The road to success is not straight

There is a curve called failure

A loop called confusion

Speed bumps called friends

Red lights called enemies

Caution lights called family

You will have flats called jobs

But if you have determination

An engine called perseverance

Insurance called faith

A driver called GOD

You will make it to a place called SUCCESS!

When you can see failure as an inspiration and success as an opportunity then you have learned the secret to success.

The beauty of life is not how happy you are, but how happy others can be because of you.

Love, Your Dad. ALMIGHTY GOD.

Sometimes you have to try not to care, no matter how much you do, because sometimes you can mean nothing to someone who means so much to you. It is not PRIDE. It is SELF RESPECT.

Sometimes you have to get hurt and someday you will realize that the person that hurt you is the reason why you are "Who You Are".

Nobody can walk away from true love without looking back with tears in their eyes.

Everybody in this world long for love and care. Are you feeling lonely and think that no one is there to care about you? Throw away that thought. Cast all your worry, nervousness and unpleasant emotions on God and He is the only one who loves and cares for you eternally.

Anyone can make you happy by doing something special, but only someone special can make you happy without doing anything.

Saying nothing, sometimes says the most.

Life is either a bad accident or an experiment to keep God busy.

LET GOD DO EVERYTHING FOR YOU

Let God choose for you, it will be the right decision.
Let God guide you, it will be the right direction.
Let God plan for you, it will be in the right timing.
Let God measure for you, it will be the right portion.
Let God help you, it will be the right care.
Let God instruct you, it will be the right teaching.
Let God prepare you, it will be the right training.
Let God counsel you, it will be the right perspective.
Let God fight for you, it will be the right outcome.
Let God work in you, it will be the right result.

Expect anything from anyone, the devil was once an angel.

People realize very late that the moment they lose something it suddenly becomes the most important thing in their life.

God speaks to everyone. He is there for you, to answer your requests. He is there for you, in times of trouble. He is there for you, to deliver you from all difficulties. But, you have to call Him. You will be blessed with long life and receive His everlasting salvation.

When you are up, your friends know who you are. When you are down, you know who your friends really are.

Distance is not a big factor in a relationship, Communication is. But most of all, commitment is the biggest.

When a person cannot answer your question directly, probably the answer is too painful for you to know or too hard for them to admit.

Do not get too influenced by one person's opinion. You might as well look within yourself and get influenced by your gut instinct.

When you are down, some people come to laugh at you. But you always know the real ones come to make you laugh.

When you focus on wanting what you cannot have, you fail to appreciate what is right in front of you.

Sometimes GOD pushes us to our LIMITS. He tests us beyond our ENDURANCE, because He has greater FAITH in us than we have in ourselves!

When you think you are not happy with your life, always think that someone is happy simply because you exist.

Whoever boast out that they are holy, very religious, but do not have control of their words are meant to be worthless. By this way, they not only bring shame to themselves but also to the religion they belong to.

People will treat you the way you allow them to treat you, know your worth!
