Together for Good

Since I got shifted to a new place for my work, and because there were no vacancies in my previous workplace, I had to move to a new environment and a new college,  a place that is totally different, with different people. I chose this place after waiting for so long, as I hadn’t been placed anywhere else. I had rejected this place many times. I even sent them an email saying I wasn’t going to join. Yet, in spite of all this, I don’t know why God took me here. I still struggle to understand His plans for me.

I had many ambitions and aspirations, but what I’m going through right now and where I am doesn’t seem to mean anything to me. I still doubt whether all of this will work together for my good ,  especially for those who love God.

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.”
– Romans 8:28 

But I do know for sure that God doesn’t make mistakes. If He has taken me to a place, it is for a purpose, and He will surely reveal it to me and to those who are working with me in His time.

At times, we might face shame and downfalls before others, but as the Bible says, He will lift us up where we have fallen. In the same place where we’ve been brought low, He will raise us up before the very eyes of those who witnessed our fall.

“Instead of your shame you will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your inheritance.”
– Isaiah 61:7 (NIV)

Are you wrestling with doubts about your calling or your current place? Know this: God makes no mistakes. You are exactly where you need to be. He who called you will defend His purpose in your life and lift you up to be a mighty beacon, proclaiming His glory to the world.

Small surprise

There is always a special joy that comes when December begins—an excitement that gently fills our hearts as we enter the Advent season. From December 1st, a mild happiness surrounds us because we remember the birth of Jesus, the true reason we have life and hope. Yesterday, I wasn’t in my room because I had gone for a fellowship, and I returned a little late around 10:15 pm. When I opened my door, to my surprise, my roommate Monika was standing there with a warm smile. She had decorated the room with a hanging star, a Christmas tree, and beautiful lights. The moment I walked in, she switched on the lights, and instantly the whole room lit up. And in that moment, not just the room—but my heart was filled with joy. It was such a simple gesture, yet it ignited something so deep within me… the true mood of the season. It reminded me that even the smallest act of love can brighten an entire month. Her little surprise reflected the greater joy that entered this world when Jesus C...

The Mighty Hand

A day after our Sunday chapel service, my sister and I were returning on a two-wheeler. She was riding, and I was seated behind her. It seemed like a normal ride, but within moments, things changed. Though she was riding slowly, she suddenly lost control, and we both fell. It was a frightening moment, she fell forward, face down on the ground. By God’s grace, no vehicles were coming behind us, which could have made the situation far worse. Though shaken, we somehow found the strength to get up. I held her hand and slowly helped her walk toward the casualty at CMC, where we later met a few friends who assisted us. This morning, Linda shared something that deeply moved my heart. She told me that last night, she kept reliving those moments going back again and again to what had truly happened after the accident. With a sense of wonder, she kept asking me, “Was there anyone else with us when you helped me walk to the casualty?” I kept telling her no. I was certain it was just the two of us...

Finding True Love

Most of the time, we try to find true love in our work life—our careers, passions, family, pets, hobbies, and talents. But the moment these things change, or if something happens to them, everything feels different. For instance, when a relationship breaks, happiness fades and emptiness fills the heart. When a dearly loved pet dies, the joy we once had disappears, leaving behind a deep void. Even our talents—when we stop using them—or when something precious we gained is broken or lost, the joy we once experienced through them seems to vanish completely. And even if we regain those things, we are not always sure that the same happiness will return in the same way it once did. But there is one true joy where we can find lasting fulfillment—a joy that will never be lost. Even if we lose sight of it for a time, when we realize it and return with longing, the joy becomes even greater than before, overflowing in abundance. So what is the difference between worldly joy and true joy? The diff...
