The masks we wear

A short reflection on wearing masks

We all have secrets hidden in our lives and we often put masks over our face to hide them. We keep our friend circle small and share it with a few. But alas! It's gone out like a gas-perfume. How do I know whom to trust in life? Read more to find out...

According to the Bible, it is okay to not to share about your life with others. Often we are confused with the dilemma on whom to trust my secrets with and whom not to trust. Sometimes, we might have been left dismayed by that fact that we actually let it out to someone and whether that secret is going to remain a secret or not? So it triggers our trust factor while dealing with people since then. And hence we wear masks!

I believe, each person is a born actor/actresses. Because your life might be a haywire, but you hide it with a smile. We all know whom to share what, regarding our lives. And it's correct to do so. I'll give some points in this blog to help you out:-

1. Always have a Spiritual guide in your life. That is, a priest or a lay person who's on fire for the Lord. Blessed is the one who gets them and follows their instructions.
2. Parents are truly a gift from God. Be close to your parents and share with them. They will be wise enough to help you out. But, all will be not comfortable with it.
3. As we have infatuation in love, so also we get infatuated with some people who we come across in our life. And we end up telling this stranger all about out life which is completely wrong. 
4. Sometimes, some religious people intimidates a person to share his/her secrets with them. It is not correct. Be comfortable with the person and then share.
5. Students who do counseling take the oath of secrecy at the end of their studies, they could be a great help.
6. Always have one best friend whom you trust in.
7. Finally, we should not forget this: "we are the Temple of the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit does reside in us!" Always commune with Him for He is God. And you will find help from unexpected sources. Since, the time I started sharing with the Holy Spirit or Jesus at the Blessed Sacrament, often, my Lord did not fail to respond me. Cling to Christ as though you'll are newly Weds.

Praise God❤

Why not to choose the best?

Being from the millennial age has brought in it's pressures; that is marriage! With all my cousins and my brother finally getting married, I am the next in line to marry. But, with no girl nor job after the pandemic, had left me in a lot of pressure as to when all things will fall in its place. So the hunt began and it left me in pain. Hence, I kept this intention in my prayers daily and the Lord showed me a wonderful vision! In the vision, I saw the episode of Abram and Lot separating. I could see the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, the land chosen by Lot after seeing it's outward appearance. I wasn't pretty sure about what this meant. So I prayed and asked for an insight from the Holy Spirit and guess what: the mystery started unfolding!  Being pressurized sometimes makes you desperate, and whatever good you find you just want to grab hold of it. In my life, the hunt had begun to find Mrs. Right. If you see Genesis 13:9 in this context, what am I doing? I am basically ...

My life journey with Christ

My life journey with Christ Love and happiness is what everyone seeks for in life. We are ready to do any sacrifices to live a life full of security and free us from all worries. Well, even I live in this so called world and seek such things. But, in my story of my encounter with Christ plays the pivotal role. We all hear this thing called "try to build a relationship with Christ". Sometimes, it feels so bizarre to even think about it that you can have a relationship with someone whom you cannot physically see. Well, I am such a guy who will believe in such things and will try out to any extent. And there was I in relationship with Christ❤ I encountered Christ way back in 2014, but from the year 2018 my actual journey totally in Christ took off. Since then many things changed; like focus, priorities, way of life, way of thinking, etc. This changes can only take place if the Holy Spirit gives you the grace to do so. If you truly understand "LOVE" and co...

Ash Wednesday? Oh! month of restrictions.

Years fly by, and we end up starting lent season with some resolutions to restrict certain things in life. Jesus also begans His ministry by fasting for 40days. As I was reflecting on the 3 questions which the devil asked Jesus I felt like jolting down some notes for me.  What was ash used for in the Old testament? When an individual would put ash on themselves, it was to convey that he/she is undergoing repentance. We see so many examples of people and prophets from the Old Testament using ash as a symbol of repentance. Question one:- The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become a loaf of bread.” Luke 4:3 NRSV We often feel that if we have money today, we can do all things. Money isn't bad, but craving for it way too much is bad. Jesus also ate bread in His public life but here He refrains it during His fasting.  Life puts us in lot of dilemma, whether to work and earn on the cost of your soul i.e. by skipping religious involvement for the s...
