The Love of God in Hard Times

 




 John 4:13-14

- Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”

- Lately i visited an old monastery up in south that was built in the early 1632, in the vicinity of the monastery there was a spring with fresh water coming out of the mountain in free fall. 





This spring has taken care of the monks and the believers for nearly 5 centuries, quite a long time. 

But yet Jesus is speaking for a water that makes us to never thirst again as we become the fountain itself.

 Water is our basic need, it's what we are made of, 60% of our body is made of water. How important!

 We think of his important every time we are thirsty  as we do with all of our needs.

 In Matthew 6:33 Jesus reminds us what to look out first, His teaching in all chapter 6 is having your priorities right, what to do, how to do it, how to pray, how to fast, where to focus and where to trust. 

Many times, we think it's harder these days to have faith and trust God. 

We think its harder than ever. Is it ? Many believers think it is , as we are near the end times. 

But for me these is not true. No one knew and no one will know when that day will come. 

So for every believer ever lived and that will come, his time is the end of times and we should have faith that God will provide not just for a time, but as He promises for everlasting life.  

With these said, i learned a valuable lesson as visiting the monastery, sharing challenges is not complaining all the time, if your purpose is right.

 Sharing challenges means dealing with problems to overcome them, using the body of Christ to do what is meant and helping every part to function and fulfil the purpose entrusted by God.

 And these periods of time it has been challenging, with people still migrating for a better life, health issues, losing good old friends, losing mentors and family members, financial difficulties, corruption in the country , challenges with kids growing up and decisions to be made for there future and education. 

Yes it has been hard. But i Believe it is the same with you. But in the midst of all these I Rejoice as i know and have seen the Love of God, and how the Body of Christ comes in life thru your Love, Prayer, Giving and showing up !

  1.                 Fjalet e Urta 11:25                           “ Njeriu bujar do te pasurohet dhe ai qe ujit do te ujitet   gjithashtu” .   Kam degjuar per historin e dy vellezerve te cilet punonin ne nje ferme qe ja u kishte lene babai . Njeri nga vellezerit ishte I martuar dhe tjetri ishte beqar . Cdo prodhim qe mernin e ndanin ne menyre te barabarte. Por nje dite vellai qe ishte beqar vendosi qe nuk ishte e drejte ndarja qe ata benin pasi vellai kishte familje per te mbajtur dhe ai vetem veten,keshtu qe cdo nate merte nje thes me grure nga hambari I tij dhe e hidhte tek ai I vellait. Por vellai I martuar gjithashtu mendonte se nuk ishte e drejte ndarja qe ata benin pasi ai kishte familjen qe kujdesej per te dhe vellai I vogel asnje njeri te kudesej per te   dhe e ardhmja e tij ishte akoma e pasigurt. Keshtu qe edhe ai filloj te merte thase nga hambari ...

Te kesh Frike Zotin

  Zbulesa 15:4  " Kush nuk do të të druajë ty, o Zot, kush nuk do ta përlëvdojë emrin tënd? Vetëm ti je i shenjtë dhe  gjithë kombet do të vijnë e do të të adhurojnë, se u shfaqën të gjitha veprat e tua   të drejta »". -Sa shpesh e degjojme shprehjen "Vetem Zotin kam Frike" , e verteta eshte qe as Zotin shpesh here se kemi frike fare. Edhe pse njohja e zotit eshte fillimi i frikes, frika ka kohe qe ka humbur. Ne kemi frike vetem humbjen e asaj qe kemi me te shtrenjte, jeten,familjen, lekun, prestigjin, kurse frika ndaj Zotit gjendet kur kemi nevoje te rekuperojme humbjet ne situatat ne dukje apo pa kthim. E kemi si buton paniku per moshat e treta ne tualetet e hoteleve apo spitaleve. Mire eshte ta kuptojme ne kohe se Frika e Zotit eshte fillimi i njohjes qe cdo gje ne kete jete e kemi dhurat vetem per te kuptuar Vepren e Zotit ne cdo dite te jetes qe na ka dhene ne toke. E ,jeta, familja, leku, prestigji eshte vetem shijim i asaj qe ai na ka premtuar, per te n...

The Answer

John 11:25-26 " Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this ?'" - Jesus’ statement is the answer of the many questions of the human mankind for centuries and centuries! It is the answer for the quest of meaning of our life’s. It’s not a human on earth that doesn't want this statement to be true. But as we know not many believe these! Jesus knows that ! That’s why He makes the question! Do you believe these? Maybe when we share with our Loved ones the meaning of Easter, we should also ask the same question at the end. To make sure people understand that the existence of God is a matter of believe, so is their possibility of salvation and the answer of their entire existence on earth. All is connected, Purpose, Meaning and Fulfillment all by Faith thru the act of Love by God in the death and resurrec...
