He may not be satisfied


One day a man went to the barber shop for shaving.  When the barber was doing his job the man told him our relation with God must be very good.  The barber replied I am maintaining a good relation with God as far as possible.  After the shaving the man got up and another customer sat in the same seat. 

The man asked the barber if he can do shaving for his new customer.  The barber was shaken and he replied in a terrible voice no, no you cannot do it.  The man told again that he will try to do it nicely as far as possible.  The barber replied no it will not satisfy the customer.

 The man told the barber, you also told me that as far as possible you are maintaining a good relation with God.  God may not like your relation with him that he may not be satisfied.  Jesus gave His life for you.  We must also give Him what is most precious to us.

The love that is prevailing in this world is full of hypocrisy.  Let us all decide to love Jesus whole heartedly with all our mind and soul.

Litmus Test

Image
When an aeroplane is flying the pilots will ask questions among themselves which is called Litmus Test.   When a problem comes while flying they must ask if the plane is still flying.   If the answer is yes then it means big danger is not there.   So they don’t have to show so much of interest on that problem. When Apollo 12 was going to the moon, it was struck by the lightning.   Red orange lights started burning.   So the astronauts wanted to do something immediately.   They asked among themselves if it was travelling in the right path.   The answer came in the affirmative for their questions.   After sometime the lights went off one by one and the rocket was moving in the right path. It's true that in various high-pressure situations, whether it's flying an airplane or conducting a space mission like Apollo 12, the concept of the "Litmus Test" or asking critical questions can be crucial. These questions help the pilots or astronauts assess the severity of the p

Children don’t need chocolates

Image
  Few years ago one day evening while walking in Chennai streets, we (my wife & myself) came across a children’s home (orphanage). We thought of going inside. How can we meet strange children with empty hand? So we bought half a kilo of éclairs chocolates from a nearby shop and went inside. While walking in, we heard a gentle voice, “where are you going”? Looking around we saw a lady through a window. We went near and told her that we would like to meet those little children inside. What is in your hands? She asked. Chocolates. The lady told us, we have plenty of food here. Every now and then we receive calls from leading bakeries and chocolate companies to supply us. Normally we say no to such call. Thanks for coming here with a good intention, but our children don’t need chocolates. We were puzzled and blinking. Then came her words, they need your love, physical touch, smile and laughter, your presence. She requested us to spend at least one hour with them. With doubts and not

Pain a Valuable Mechanism

Image
  A girl who acted in the serial, Grey’s Anatomy called herself as a super hero because she never experienced pain in her body.  Though she proclaimed proudly that there was no pain in her body, she was carrying a rare disease called congenital insensitivity to pain.  Those who have that disease will not experience pain.   For a man to live a healthy life he must have the sense of pain.   Otherwise some problem in his body will be unattended for a long time because of lack of pain and which may develop into a serious problem.   In our spiritual life also even if we do a small mistake our heart must be troubled and we must lose the peace of mind.   Then only we will repent and reconcile both with men and God. It is true that the ability to experience pain is crucial for maintaining a healthy life. Pain serves as a protective mechanism that alerts us to potential damage or injury to our bodies. Without the ability to feel pain, individuals with congenital insensitivity to pain may no
