I love this song
"He is still working on me
To make me what I want to be
It took him just a week to make the moon and the stars
sun and the earth and jupiter and mars
How loving and patient he must be He is still working on me
..........
.........
And I will be perfect according to his plan
Fashioned by the masters loving hand
......
He loves me as I am
Remember He is the potter and I am the clay"
In our earthly lives we can become impatient in a second but its hard to keep our selfs to be patient.
I have been Gifted with a son on 13th September 2006 and we have named him Kevin Daniel.He is now 16 months old.The word Patient is more I learnt after his birth.My son will be taking and dropping things ,climbing everywhere ,tearing papers which are not supposed to be handled by him .
Immediately I will say to him "No.... No .... Kevin you should not do that".
But he will do after I have said to him.Everytime when I say ' No ' I expected from him not to do it and to obey my words.
So I will ask why did u do that.
Everytime when I tense up and get angered God remained me of this song verse
"How loving and patient he must be.. He is still working on me"
In the same way
How God says ' NO to many things in our daily Life'
Are we obeying him immediately or doing the things and getting forgiveness from God.
Everytime when we disobey or dont please him. He is not angered like earthly parents.
He is our Heavenly Father and who loves us so much.He is more patient towards us to shape us everyday according to His will and ways.
How Patient God must be for all our activities which may not please him,which may not be the way what he wanted to us to do, sinful thoughts , impatience and so on..
The love and patience God has for us we cant imagine .
He is still working on us to make us what we have to be...

The deepest part...........
“The deepest part of me is where I hide my dreams
The deepest part of me is given into HIS hands
And I know that you’re always beyond that I dream
You live inside the deepest part me”
Above is the chorus of a song which has touched me sometime back. I realized how valuable the “deepest part of me” where aspirations, dreams and passion rise up which sometimes can lead to a wrong turn In life if the above package is not in accordance with God’s will.
It is good that we may give our “deepest part” to Jesus Hands so that He can design our lives. Yea, but it is not going to be easy as human tendency is to trust his/her might. It takes believing the unchanging God and taking the word into your life. In Proverbs Chapter 3 verse 5 says “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding”
What will happen if you lean on your own understanding? You will face only frustration and failure. Remember friend, for God’s thoughts are not your thoughts and your ways are not His ways. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts (Is 55:8, 9)
Just give your deepest thoughts, failures, hurts, frustration into Jesus Hands and you will see the Maker’s hands designing you for a blessed purpose. His higher thoughts and ways on you will fill your life with joy and happiness- if you submit to Jesus completely the ‘inmost being or deepest part’………………
The deepest part of me is given into HIS hands
And I know that you’re always beyond that I dream
You live inside the deepest part me”

Open Door, Closed doors....
"God shuts every door to open the best door for you"
These were the words that comforted me one fine day in 2002. I had just finished my B.E and was in the middle of a roadway not knowing where the road is going. During my final year my only ambition was to get into a job as soon as possible. But my parents insisted on me doing my post graduation. Amidst all the misunderstanding, I never bothered to prepare for my M.E admissions. I missed out the GATE exams and even the Anna University non GATE exams. I was so careless that i dint even send an application to Anna University. So the biggest of doors were shut for me. It was only after I finished my B.E that I realised that I was nowhere....
The only options I had was to try and get into some private colleges. But the donations those days for M.E Computer Science was crazy. The minimum donation would be 75000 which was much beyond what my parents could afford. So i could see the next door closing too.
In my vision there was no possibilty of getting my M.E admission that year. During those days of mental battle, I got a forwarded mail from a friend. I hardly remember the contents of the mail. But the line ' God shuts every door to open the best door for you' just struck me. It was there in the back of my mind for the next few days. Not long after, I saw a paper advertisement from Karunya Institute of Technology for M.E admissions. I put an application without much hope. But to my surprise I got the admission. The best part, I dint have to pay a penny as donation. It was indeed the best door that God had opened for me.
So friends, I want to encourage everyone with the wors of God given to the Philedelphia church in Rev. 3:7, 8. It says "What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open". Indeed my dear friends, all doors may seem to be closed but our God will open the best door for you. When he opens a door, no one can shut it....
