Call Jesus

You’re a faithful Christian but your life is troubled so much that people around you doubt your faith.
Cry no more! Wipe your tears and read this story – 
[One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let’s go over to the other side of the lake. So they got into a boat and set out. As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.
The disciples went and woke him, saying, Master, Master, we’re going to drown!”
He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm. “Where is your faith?” he asked his disciples.] Luke 8:22-25 NIV
Back to your story;
There is no doubt you’re sailing with Jesus in your life. But your progress is in danger because heavy and crippling problems have being hanging on your life despite your firm and strong beliefs.
Everyone goes through a wilderness experience but the intensity varies from one person to another. Yours could be one of those severe ones. So severe that people have started speculating about what you did or didn’t do, to attract the suffering you’re passing through. You may have been in that storm for so long you barely remember the pleasure of a calm life.
Is the “Jesus and disciples-sailing on the same boat-on stormy lake” situation replaying in your life?
Yes.
What’s the solution?
Call the master.
The truth is you’ve been calling him since your troubles began. Maybe a different approach is all you need.
Figure yourself out on the boat with other disciples on that historical day, imagine the panic written all-over your faces and the desperation draining your energy; now, run to Jesus and explain your situation (replace the drowning story with your story). IMPORTANT NOTE: Use optimistic words not pessimistic for your words tell on your faith level.
A call of desperation will not go unanswered, he is LORD and he cares.

Help The Boy Child; Heal The Society

...........The midwife announces, "it's indeed a girl!" Everyone within earshot wears an irresistible smile and hearts warm up to welcome yet another little woman into the world. Her role in the universe is clearly cut out , and she starts training in readiness for her mission as soon as her hands are strong enough to hold something. Her first birthday present is a beautiful doll, which gives her a countenance similar to the one mama had when she(the little girl) checked into the world. She has her first time experience of sacrifice when she shoves aside her plate of food, to take care of the new found love. Today she's training her (the doll) how to sit, tomorrow she is plaiting her hair, the other day she's carrying her on her back soothing her to sleep. Did I forget that mama is now being instructed to serve food for two? Though soon she'll start preparing meals for her child (doll) and doing her laundry as well. As her obsession with do...

Is The Health Of A Nation A Reflection Of The Health Of Its Families?

Family is the basic unit of society. Therefore, it goes without saying that society is a composition of families. Hence, a morally ill society is a reflection of morally ill families. When we talk of social evils like corruption, injustice, misuse of power etc. more often we shift our focus to leaders forgetting that leadership is just a title; these people are children born and bred in our families. For instance, whenever a leader is exposed on issues of integrity or rather lack of it, we descend upon them with hate and criticism; we demonize them and even ostracize them. What hypocrisy! We adopt holier than thou attitudes and forget that we too are hanging on the same integrity scale; the only difference being, we’ve not been placed under an auditor’s lens (Almost every human being is or will be a leader at some point in their life. Whether you’re heading a nation, a religious body, a learning institution, a home etc. as long as someone is looking up to you for guidance, pro...
