Does Word work wonder? Part II

“What a happy ’Smiling Face’ is she! Did a Similie just come alive! C’mon look at her. Does she have any problem in her life!?!” we mumble often. And the actual truth is that the ’Smiling Face’ has pulled up the left and right sides of her lips with two invisible strings and pegged them tight to the back of her head to bring a huge grin (broad smile).

Behind every smooth look there are un-pressed wrinkles. I’m not talkin’bout the anti aging do-over… Phew… Inside every brave man there’s a cry-a-lot kid. A dent of hurt! A tint of dirt! There is a story behind every fake smile.

Are you tired of trying to relieve from pain and rejoice for real? Have you added “Rejoice in the Lord always!” to your unattainable bucket list already? When pain rubs your shoulder it’s trying to say “you’re hurting, so you need healing!”. Don’t shush the pain with temporary pain killer solutions! Just meet the healer by reading the Word of God everyday as it heals every crumb of brokenness! Let me tell you how that works,

Time ticks – Does it do the tricks?

Pain’s intensity cannot be realized until tear drops wet your pillows and it’s also one of Lé Incomprehensibles! Having no one to understand the pain makes the pain of the pain a much painful pain! You know what I mean! And you decide to give it some time and soon you’re shocked to see that the pain has grown horns and thorns just to get worse each day.

You must’ve heard this “Time is a good healer”, maybe that’s true to some extent but I have a question, “Do we have that much time?”. Life is too short to let time heal everything. Time is a good healer but God is the best healer! He heals us by sending His word!

“He sent out His word and healed them”, says Psalm 107:20

The Painful Pain

When pain is overwhelming we cry “I just wanna kill this pain”. It’s not wrong to feel that way. If we don’t kill the pain the pain will slowly kill us little by little. But killing the pain alone is not healing, finding the root cause and treating it is! The word of God discerns and reveals every deep root that needs pruning! The word of God works like medicine treating the root cause of the problem and you’ll conquer pain!

“[Word of God] is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. “, says Hebrews 4:12

“For they [Word of God] bring life to those who find them, and healing to their whole body. “, says Proverbs 4:22

Healing is much more!

Killing pain is needed, but just killing pain will only let you survive temporarily! Healing is not just to be relieved from pain it’s much more. Real healing is no more afraid of the pain! Real healing brings a brand new life! Real healing is no more afraid of the past! Real healing brings a fresh start!

“Behold, I will do something new, now it will spring forth; will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, Rivers in the desert. ”, says Isaiah 43:19

Dear pal,

Yes! God’s word will heal you and help you overcome pain! He’ll make a roadway just for you in the wilderness! Will you try reading at least 10 verses a day from the word of God? You can start by reading the Book of Proverbs. One chapter of Proverbs a day keeps Foolishness away! If you love stories you can start with the book of Genesis from the Old Testament or Matthew from the New Testament. Be Healed! Stay Healed!

Does Word work wonder? Part I

Words can pierce through the shallows and hollows where swords cannot! Time and again the Word of God has been rippling the world far beyond the horizons, right from its formations, when God uttered, “Let there be “and so it was!

It’s funny that, even when the world knows the potential of the word of God, it is less likely to be prioritized. The world keeps asking, “Give me one good reason, why I should heed (regard or listen) to the Word of God! “. Well through this blog I, Aloshni would like to answer that question through a series of articles. Well this article will give you the first reason of all,

Freedom from Identity Crisis

Identity crisis is much widespread than water crisis. Everyone wants to be someone, be it famous or infamous or mediocre. Some call themselves confident but are actually haughty (very proud). And some call themselves humble but actually lack confidence. So what defines their identity? Is it “Desert Storm 500” or polka dotted “Jimmy Choo”? Some say that, it is the little things that make you who you are. Definitely true! But are you not much more than just a Gulab Jamun gobbler or a Rava Ladoo lover? It’s obvious that the world peeks on us through varied glasses.

Believe it or not! Our true identity is the image of God that we were sculpted with. May be it’s difficult for the world to see that in us, sometimes even we don’t see it in us. Well… that’s because the world is sculpting us into,

A timid Chihuahua or a manipulative racoon!
A people-pleaser parrot or a flirtatious baboon!
A restless road-runner or a pompous chimp!
A hypocrite hippo or a lousy wimp!

So are we gonna continue to be a ticky-tacky (carton) to stay accepted?

Jeremiah 23:29 says “Is not my word like fire,” declares the LORD, “and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces?

The word of God melts us like fire and sculpts us strike by strike like a hammer into the image of God,

 The only image that thrived
Through the churns and burns of the world!
The only image that vibed,
“I am what I am “, fire furled!

 The only image that waved
And calmed the whistling winds!
The only image that swayed
And made lame hop like hinds!

 The only image that forgave
And pushed the scarlet sins afar!
The only image that gave
Everything and took up the scar!

What an awe-inspiring Identity that the image of God unfurls!

Dear pal,
You may be depressed that you are a ’nobody’ or may be proud that you are a ’somebody’. What are you when your wax coats peel off? The image of God is your only identity. Let the word of God work wonder in sculpting you to bring the image of God out of you!
