THE FIRST THOUGHT

THE FIRST THOUGHT
God bless you is the greetting great
Do I bless must be the thought first!

God love you is the greetting great
Do I love must be the thought first!

Forgive others is the advice great
Do I forgive must be the thought first!

Help the needy is the advice great
Do I help must be the thought first!

"Do to others what would have them
Do to you " is the maxim great

This is what the Lord Jesus taught
All of us to follow in our lives!

AGAPE LOVE

AGAPE LOVE

It is a love men did not know
It is a love men do not know

it is a love without beginning
It is a love without ending

It is the love in the universe
That reflects on all earthly beings

It is the love everlasting
Beyond the conditions blocking

It is the love ,if observed,
Heavenly would be the world

It is this love Jesus lived
The love we are called to live

This is the agape love
Jesus demonstrated on the cross!

- Silvester Ezhumala

Health is Wealth;but...

Health is wealth; but do you know what is the secret of health? Health is divided by many as, physical, mental , and spiritual. Why? Man is all these. These are different realms of man. Spiritual is his inmost realm. Mental the second , and the physical the third. Health , in short, is the net result of the integration of all these .

Where does this integration originates from ? It is from his innermost realm , ie , his spirit. That is why John the disciple of Christ greets Gaius his friend thus: " Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and all may go with you,even as your soul is getting along well "[3rd letter of John].

The "soul" here , is meant spirit. This is where man meets God ,who is Spirit. God as the source of every good , He is the source of health also. When man is in communion with God he enjoys health. What blocks this communion is the block to health also. What blocks the communion with God is nothing but a life away from him. This is called sinful life.

Now if one is in such a state of soul what should he do to re-establish this communion? He should, first be aware of his sinfulness. Then he should be sorry for his miserable state. Ask God pardon for his sinful life. Decide to live a lif in communion with God.

The mission of Jesus Christ is to liberate man from his sinful state and reconcile him to God .This reconciliation through Jesus Christ is the basis of man's reconciliation with his fellow beings. This total reconciliation with God and fellow beings will bring true health to man! Wish you good health!

Dear brothers and sisters, I invite you to comment on this reflection!

With love, your brother,Silvester

"FORMLESS AND EMPTY"

BeforeGod commanded " let there be light ", the Bible says in genesis, "darkness was over the surface of the deep . The earth was formless and empty". Is this not the case of man until he is enlightened by the Spirit of God ? Is this not true that sinful darkness is over his life? Is it not true he is formless ,ie, without being moulded to the likness of God ? Is it not that he is empty, until he is filled by the Spirit of God?

Now dear brothers and sisters, how can this present formlessness and emptiness of man can be changed? First the Spirit of God should move over him. For this, the Word of God must be spoken to him. It is by listening to the word of God, the Spirit begins to move over him. secondly, he must surrender to the Word he listened. Then he is being created a new man ! We need such enlightened new men to enlighten others and to make our world better and better. The kingdom of Darkness should disappear and the new kingdom of Light and Life should appear! Are you for this? Please , comment !

With love , your brother silvester
