Would you still believe?

Believing is so easy when everything goes perfectly. When life is full of sunshine and roses. But faith is tested during trying times. 
I've always had this thought that science and religion couldn't possibly go together. But I came across this quote when I was surfing through the web. It went like this.. 

"If all truth has its source in God and if all truth is unified, then one thing we know to be certain is that if there is a contradiction between an interpretation of Scripture and an interpretation of what God has created, then one or both of those interpretations is incorrect. They cannot both be correct. We must recognize that the conflict may be due to a misinterpretation of creation, to a misinterpretation of Scripture, or to a misinterpretation of both. This means we need to do a thorough and careful examination of both the scientific theory and the biblical exegesis to discover the source of the conflict. We must make sure we are dealing with the actual teaching of Scripture as opposed to a mistaken interpretation of Scripture. And we must examine the evidence for the scientific theory in question to discover whether we are dealing with something that is true about God’s creation or something that is merely speculation.

But even if a time comes wherin the truth is twisted I felt the Lord asking me, will you still believe? Would you believe if things don't go your way? Would you believe if everyone left you in the midst of the hardest part of your life? Would you believe if everything was taken away from you?

I knew I could say yes Lord in a second but I wondered when the time comes if I'll still be able to say yes Lord. But the Lord has been faithful and he will always be. And I know when the time comes, as long as I continue to ask the spirit to lead me and guide me and remind me- especially of Jesus' irrational love, his unprecedented timing and his incomprehensible wisdom
He will help me face the storm. Not because I'm strong, but because the God I know is the one who in control and the one who is greater than the storm.

How it all started..

Image
It all started when I was young. If you were expecting me to talk about the cliche way of saying it, you got it wrong. Every summer since I was barely able to walk, our family would spend time among the rural villages of Tamil Nadu in the initiative to spread the love of God. Being a little kid meant running around and telling people about how good loves them and he's good and he's the creator of the universe. I was mostly dismissed with a wave of a hand or told to go away sometimes. I would be disappointed and I would go back with a heavy heart. Fast forward, It was during one such summer when another family, consisting of doctors decided to come with us. I was older and was accustomed to the way these visits went, until one day. The family who had come with us decided to start a medical camp,free of cost for these villagers. To my utter disbelief, the same grandmas who had told me a myriad of reasons as to why they didn't have time to listen to me, lined up in...

Faith, to trust what you say..

Image
  We've all been there. Gone through something that has left us hurt. If you're telling me that hasn't happened to you, I might be forced to assume you're lying. Fast forward, so did I and one of them was about letting go of my favourite friend. The one who was around for the happy times and the sad times. The break from familiarity was and is scary and I was angry and sad about letting go. But I know deep down that this was for the best and maybe in due time, god will help me understand why. There's so much I don't understand. So much I'm afraid of.. but this morning as I read my Bible, I read about how God told Abram, " Do not be afraid. I am your shield and your exceedingly great reward" Genesis 15:1 Abram had nothing,in fact he had to leave familiar territory too,but god pointed to the sky and told him that one day, his descendants will be as numerous as the the stars. The proof is visible for the whole world to see today. Our feeli...

The heart wants what it wants

I've come to realise that what I want is not what I need, especially when it comes to relationships and friendships.It's been one of the hardest realistions I've had to face because truth hurts. But I've realised the best things in life are in store for those who trust in the Lord.  Jeremiah 17:5-8 5.This is what the  Lord  says: “Cursed is the one who trusts in man,who draws strength from mere flesh and whose heart turns away from the  Lord. 6.That person will be like a bush in the wastelands; they will not see prosperity when it comes. They will dwell in the parched places of the desert, in a salt land where no one lives. 7 “But blessed is the one who trusts in the  Lord , whose confidence is in him. 8  They will be like a tree planted by the water that  sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes;   its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and  never fails t...
