We all know to some extend what 'Love' is. We have heard many times quoting 'God is Love'. That means love is God. The term 'love' is originally pure and good. Sometimes it is misinterpreted and taken in the wrong sence. Love can never go wrong or commit any crimes, if it is real 'love'...!
Love is of three types.
God' Love: It is real love. It is unconditional and limit less. God's love is full of compassin and kindness. Its depth or height is not measurable. It is always flowing evenly to all human beings, whether good or bad...!
Human Love: It is always selfish. Human love consists of Parental love, children's love, Brothers' love, couple's love, love (attraction) of opposite sex, etc. All these love's are driven by some self benefit...!

Sr Jean, the Mother Teresa of Bangalore can stay in India
It was a good gesture from the Indian home ministry to extend the visa of Rev Sr Jean, who has been serving the lepers, poor, sick and worried people in and around Sumanahalli in Bangalore for the last 29 years. This Sister's visa expired yesterday and she was about to say a farewell to her crying inmates and the less fortunate people with tears, to go back to her Native country England.
Just minutes before her departure, an urgent message was sent to her stating the unconditional extension of her visa to stay and serve the poor of India. This order of the Ministry of Home affairs, New Delhi, was welcomed by all the people without any differences of religion or caste.
May God Bless Rev Sr Jean with a long life and good health and mind to serve the poor.

Body language of Celebrities, Amitabh Bachchan and Rajani Kanth
Humility, simplicity and openness make a person more attractive, lovable and admirable. I am writing this to comment the appreaciable behaviour of two Indian cinema super stars, Mr. Amitabh Bachchan and Mr. Rajani Kanth. Thogh I watch good movies now and then and I am fond of the excellent action of many Indian superstars and actors, I personally like Shri Amitabh and Thiru Rajani for their plainness and humbleness.
Though these two are doubtlessly among the first and best in ranking, they give due respect even to the smallest artist and to the staff of the units. We are often irritated to see the pround behaviour of so many young and upcoming stars, even though they have no or very less number of fans and admirers.
My advise to one and all... The more height you reach or want to reach, you humble yourselves to the lowest level. By doing this your status in the society and in the industry will only increase. Because the Lord Jesus in the Holy Bible says, "Whoever humbles himself will be exalted and whoever exalts himself will be humbled".

Personality Development - What is personality? What is individuality..?
We see and hear a lot about 'personality development training or courses' now-a-days! Many people misinterpret personality with individuality. To improve or develop a person's individual abilities or talents, certain trainings or confidence-building tactics are taught. This is widely commercialized these days.
Even personality has two sides. The external 'appearance of a person' and the 'internal character' side which makes his true sense! A person is the result of many aspects. His behavior or dealings with others is the result of his 'brought up' by parents, teachers, friends, the society etc.
The external appearance is valued much while assessing a candidate for certain jobs and appointments. What is to be weighed more is his 'true colors' that is temporarily hiding in him.
To some extend the individuality can be developed, by trying to remove any 'inferiority complex' or 'unknown fear' that is a hindrance to the growth of a person. In any case I feel "fear of the Lord" is the most important thing to develop in one's life.
It is very unfortunate if the 'Church' gives any importance to 'outward appearance' or the 'complexion' of the devotees. Because The Lord sees not the appearance but the heart of people.
So beware, "appearances are deceptive"...!

The huge treasures found at Thiruvananthapuram Sri Padmanabha Temple
The recent discovery of the huge treasures in five vaults under the Sri Padmanabha Temple in Tranvancore has become the talk of the world, being it the largest discovery of such hidden treasures in the entire world yet. One can know the importance of this as most of the local, National and International electronic and print media giving wide coverage to it since its unearthing. Now everyone's eyes are turned towards the sixth room which is yet to be opened as the Supreme Court of India has given a stay regarding its opening.
When a Christian sees all these, he must immediately recollect the Sayings of the Lord in the Gospel according to St. Matthew, chapter 13, verse 44. 'The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure that a man finds in a land/field and immediately he hides it and hurries home, sells all that he has and buys the land'...!
Acquiring a place in the Kingdom of God is much higher than posessing all the treasures, the world can offer...! A believer should not lose this great berth in God's Kingdom for mere worldly treasures that cannot grant anyone the entry into God's Kingdom.
We have heard many great kings like Goutama Buddha, who lived in this earth forsaking the riches and pleasures of this world, as they realized that they are all vanity. If a man gains the whole world and loses his soul, what is the use (Matt. 16:26)...?
Dear brethren, be watchful...!

Let us all unite in Prayer for those victims of Yesterday's Mumbay Blasts
The triple bomb blasts in the main centers of Mumbai claiming many lives of innocent civilians, and injuring hundreds, thus creating terror and panic in the ordinary people was quite unfortunate. More than a year of peace, the terror strikes were very condemnable. What do they gain by killing or wounding normal people who live in communal harmony and brotherhood...?
Our sympethy and prayers are with the victims and their grief stircken families. May the Almighty God give rest to the departed souls, heal all those who are wounded and in hospitals, and strengthen and give courage to the affected families.
It gives a lot of happiness to understand many people in and around the spot are rushing with aid through social networking sites like twitter and facebook, without any sort of discrimination.
God Bless ALL and prevent another such anywhere on the face of the earth...!!!

Beware of Satanic worship and false crucifix and medals...!
This is a Serious warning to all the saved followers of God the Almighty...!!!
The term satanic worship is heard here and there. satan is using all his might to capture, deceive and derail the 'children of God'! We must be aware that he is also mighty. But we can rest and relax because our Lord the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob is Almighty...! He is the One who created everything. He is the One who redeems all. He is the One Who sent His dearly beloved SON to save us...! Alleluia...!
The evil spirit knows that we are approaching the end days. he wants to trap as many children of God as possible and join his gang. Poor innocent people who are not vigilant and walk in a distance from the Word of God are prone to be trapped easily.
Now a days, even Crucifixes, Rosaries and Religious Medals of Blessed Mother and Saints are fake and are manufactured and circulated by these loyalists of the cursed angel. When we buy or receive a spiritual item or product carefully examine it and conform whether it is from the true Church or her devotees...!

Happy Independence Day, Dear Americans...!
United State of America is celebrating its 'Independence Day' on 5th July 2011...! We wish whole heartedly all the people of America a "Happy Independence Day"! May God Bless America and all its people abundantly for their steadfast Faith in HIM.
May I request the Americans humbly, not to forget the Lord who has called them and granted them prosperity and joy. I also wish that, America being the strongest and most developed country, should not promote or enact any laws that are contrary to the "Law of the Lord"...!
It is sad to see more American states joining the making of some unnatural laws like legalizing 'the gay marriage'. Recently I read, New York, the largest state also passed the rule!
We have seen many times and learned from experiences, that any individual or organization or state or country, how ever great they are, when they forsake the Teachings of the Lord, and start doing injustices, they will pay for it...! Let America flourish and be safe ....!
