Meaningful contributions to society

 


A severe fever made Fanny Crosby (1823-1915) blind when she was six weeks old. She died at 92. Despite her blindness, she possessed extraordinary musical talent and became a prolific hymn writer. Throughout her life, she composed thousands of hymns that continue to be cherished and sung by people around the world. "Blessed Assurance" is one of her most famous compositions and remains a beloved hymn to this day.

Helen Keller, on the other hand, lost both her sight and hearing at the age of less than two years due to an illness, most likely meningitis. Despite her profound disabilities, Helen Keller overcame enormous obstacles and developed remarkable communication skills with the help of her teacher, Anne Sullivan. With Sullivan's guidance, Helen learned to read, write, and speak, becoming an inspiring advocate for the blind and deaf communities.

Extraordinary individuals like Helen Keller and Fanny Crosby have demonstrated the potential of the human spirit to overcome challenges and achieve greatness, just as William Carey's linguistic abilities allowed him to contribute significantly to translating the Bible into multiple Indian languages. All of these individuals serve as inspirations for their resilience, talents, and contributions to the world despite their adversities.

God is sovereign. His resources are inexhaustible. Someone may argue that singing, painting, learning languages, etc., are just talents and not gifts. But it is God who gives talents too. Whatever God gives is a gift. Who makes you differ from another? It is God

Worry Box

  Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and He shall sustain thee. A manager of a company often come across big problems.   This gave him lot of worry.   To stop worrying about his problem, he did something.   He made a worry box.   He used to write down his problem that gave him worry and put it inside the worry box.   After putting inside the worry box he will force himself to stop worry about that problem.   After a week when he opened the worry box most of his problems were already solved.   Dear children of God we do have a worry box.   Put everything inside that worry box and you can stay calm and cool to watch those problems getting solved.   Yes dears, Jesus is our Worry Box.

The Great Wall of China

  The Great Wall of China one of the wonders of this world is 4500miles long, 35feet high and 25feet wide.   Nobody can climb over it or demolish it.   The purpose of building this wall is to save China from the enemies attack.   But the enemies of China, Barbaians three times entered China.   They never climbed over the wall, they never demolished the wall, nor did they move around the wall.   They just entered through the main gate freely by bribing those security there.   In our life also our lack of self-control will lead us to great defeats.   We must control our spirit, thoughts, anger, emotions, lust, jealous and greed for money.   If we cannot control we will be unsafe.   Let us receive God’s grace to have real self-control in our life and be blessed.
