Tell problems you have a big God !

-


Two men went fishing. One was an experienced fisherman, the other wasn't. Every time the experienced fisherman caught a big fish, he put it in his ice chest to keep it fresh. Whenever the inexperienced fisherman caught a big fish, he threw it back.

The experienced fisherman watched this go on all day and finally got tired of seeing the man waste good fish. Why do you keep throwing back all the big fish you catch he asked.

 The inexperienced fisherman replied, I only have a small frying pan.

 Sometimes, like that fisherman, we throwback the big plans, big dreams, big jobs, big opportunities that God gives us. Our faith is too small.

 We laugh at that fisherman who didn't figure out that all he needed was a bigger frying pan, yet how ready are we to increase the size of our faith. Whether it's a problem or a possibility, God will never give you anything bigger than you can handle. That means we can confidently walk into anything God brings our way.

 You can do all things through God. Nothing is too big for God.

 Stop telling God you've got big problems. Tell your problems you've got a BIG GOD!

Out in the fields with God

Hurry, worry and curry! Isn’t it describing our lives? We run behind the success and invite worries. We haste in achieving worldly possessions. And in celerity, we miss enjoying life. Life is beautiful, when we enjoy it fully.      Here is a wonderful poem about living a life with joy. The poet wonders in nature and loses petty cares. Among the play of winds and rustling of trees, among the singing of birds and humming of bees, he forgets niggling of life. Nature is the divine creation of God. As it hasn’t ego, when wonder in it, ruffles of life turns into smooth.  Sometimes we feel down due to foolish fears of what may happen. We may feel blue due to imaginary menace. The poet cast it away in husking of the corn and nodding of drowsy poppies.  He finds the presence of God in nature. Where ill thoughts die and good thoughts are born. Understanding of nearness of God makes us happy in all situations. In pain and pine, when we feel that...

Life

Life is a game, play it. Life is a puzzle, solve it. Life is a mystery, unfold it. How wise words these are! All the days are not the same. They vary. Up and down, to and fro are but natural. It’s like a roller coaster ride. It threatens sometimes. We may lose head and heart due to the variance.   In such an imbalance, how do we balance is the major point. In the midst of the conflict, in the midst of hardship, in the midst of the storm, how do we think and live, that carries the major attention. In the struggle, we may get disturbed. Negativity and distortion may drag us down. But the truth is: it’s a process, the process of development. No struggle can bring us down, but our own mind can. So it’s an opportunity to build a positive mind. So in the scuffle, instead of getting down, awake and arise. Build the mind with positive thoughts and emotions. Draw a meaning in difficult times and surely it will bring us up. Here is a heartening divine poem by Shri Aurob...

Stray birds

These are a few lines from Stray Birds by Rabindranath Tagore. Worth inspiring and heartening. Anyone who loves poetic philosophy loves these as well. I have picked my favourite ones. Here they are : STRAY birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away. And yellow leaves of autumn, which have no songs, flutter and fall there with a sigh. THE world has opened its heart of light in the morning. Come out, my heart, with thy love to meet it. DARKNESS travels towards light, but blindness towards death. "IN the moon thou sendest thy love letters to me," said the night to the sun. "I leave my answers in tears upon the grass." "WHO is there to take up my duties?" asked the setting sun. "I shall do what I can, my Master," said the earthen lamp. IF you shed tears when you miss the sun, you also miss the stars. "WE, the rustling leaves, have a voice that answers the storms, but who are you so silent?" ...
