Are You Missing Out?

By -

 



A question I ask myself sometimes is "What things am I missing out on without knowing?". Something in me is calling out for much more. 

When God created Eden, it was a lush garden paradise, a land of delight, there were all kinds of beautiful trees, so much gold, pearls, onyx, and lots more. It was so beautiful far beyond what we could imagine. God then placed Adam in this paradise and said "My good friend, I am handing this paradise over to you to manage, you can enjoy and manage as you see fit but do not eat from the tree of good and evil". 

And just like that, little old Adam was in charge of the most beautiful paradise. Now I notice Adam did not ask for this paradise. God just felt he needed this kind of paradise. God is like "This kind of paradise is the best for my little Adam". lol😅

Adam did not ask for Eve too. God is like ...hmmm! " my little Adam seems bored and lonely, let's give him a nice surprise"

The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him. Gen 2:18

And Adam slept and woke up to a nice surprise. He was definitely excited.😄😄😄😄

I realize even though Adam did not know that he needed these things. God did them for his little Adam's pleasure. God's heart towards Adam is so loving and beautiful.

I know Adam was kicked out of Eden but now that Christ has restored our relationship with God and made it even better. I need to go find my Eden.😔😔😔

If God was so intentional about Adam. Then God is even more intentional about us because He paid a huge price to redeem us.

I believe there is so much God has prepared for us just like He did for Adam but somehow. We find ourselves wandering unable to find Eden.

I do not want to get to heaven and realize Eden was right beside me the whole time. lol 😠. What do you say we have a long discussion with God about this Eden matter?  I am definitely in!

Christ Called Me off the Minaret ( A muslims conversion to Christianity): A Must Read

By -

 Through investigations, dreams, and visions, Jesus asked me to forsake my Muslim family. " Allahu Akbar . I bear witness that there is no god but Allah. I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah." These are the first words of the Muslim call to prayer. They were also the first words ever spoken to me. Moments after I was born, I have been told, my father softly recited them in my ear, as his father had done for him, and as all my forefathers had done for their sons since the time of Muhammad. We are Qureshis, descendants of the Quresh tribe—Muhammad's tribe. Our family stood sentinel over Islamic tradition. The words my ancestors passed down to me were more than ritual: they came to define my life as a Muslim in the West. Every day I sat next to my mother as she taught me to recite the Qur'an in Arabic. Five times a day, I stood behind my father as he led our family in congregational prayer. By age 5, I had recited the entire Qur'an in Arabic and mem

Making others better is a boomerang

A famous old poem goes like this: “When days are hot and flies are thick, use horse sense – cooperate. This is a truth all horses know, they learned it many centuries ago. One tail on duty at the rear can reach that fly behind the ear. But two tails when arranged with proper craft can do the job both fore and aft.” Your decision to bound past mediocrity will help pull up others with you. Choosing God’s will in our lives always affects others and makes them better . Williams Danforth said, “Our most valuable possessions are those which when shared multiply. Our least valuable possessions are those which when divided are diminished.” We should look for opportunities to invest of ourselves in others and to help make them better. Somebody did that for you once. Somebody saw something in you and reached out to help you. That act of kindness has determined where you are today. It may have been your pastor, your parents, a friend, a teacher, coach, neighbour, or just someon
