Heaven's Bells

Each time when we pray, we ring the bells up above.
Each time when we pray, we confess our humanity and his divinity,
Each time when we pray, God knows what we are going to utter before the words even form in our hearts,
Each time when we pray,God hears from heaven and is NEVER slow to reply.

Psalm 121
A song of ascents. 1 I lift up my eyes to the hills— where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot slip— he who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD watches over you— the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life;
8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.

God , our God is indeed an awesome God!
HE never ever ever fails to answer us when our hearts cry out to Him in prayer.
HE never ever ever fails to answer us when we sincerely ask for things that are upon His heart.

The Lord just answered my prayers! I asked for the Lord that He would cause reconciliation with a friend I have hurt many many years ago.
And amazingly God just caused me and my friend to be reconnected to each other. All of a sudden the person messaged me , and things kicked off from there. Things are not all complete at the moment , but I am sure things will get better with God in the picture in both our lives.

Matthew 5 :23-24
23"Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.

Too tired ? Look to Him!

“Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” (Matt. 11:28 NLT).
Rest from the burden of a small god. Why? Because I have found the Lord.
Rest from doing things my way. Why? Because the Lord is my Shepherd.
Rest from endless wants. Why? Because I shall not want.
Rest from weariness. Why? Because he makes me to lie down.
Rest from worry. Why? Because he leads me.
Rest from hopelessness. Why? Because he restores my soul.
Rest from guilt. Why? Because he leads me in the paths of righteousness.
Rest from arrogance. Why? Because of his name’s sake.
Rest from the valley of death. Why? Because he walks me through it.
Rest from the shadow of grief. Why? Because he guides me.
Rest from fear. Why? Because his presence comforts me.
Rest from loneliness. Why? Because he is with me.
Rest from shame. Why? Because he has prepared a place for me in the presence of my enemies.
Rest from my disappointments. Why? Because he anoints me.
Rest from envy. Why? Because my cup overflows.
Rest from doubt. Why? Because he follows me.
Rest from homesickness. Why? Because I will dwell in the house of my Lord forever.
