My Lord My Lord Why Have You Forsaken me Eli, Eli, lemana shabakthani A late Aramaic Bible researcher named George Lamsa claimed that the traditional "forsaken" interpretation is a mistake in the Aramaic scribing that was transferred to later transcriptions. Lamsa claimed that "the correct translation from Aramaic should be "Eli, Eli, lemana shabakthani" or "My God, my God, for this [purpose] I was spared!" or "...for such a purpose have you kept me!") According to Lamsa's translation, that rather than a "loss of faith" Christ meant, to say "so this is my destiny." He  had lived in unbroken fellowship with God, and to be forsaken was a new grief to him. He had never known what the dark was till then: his life had been lived in the light of God... His fellowship with the Father was of the highest, deepest, fullest order; and what must the loss of it have been? He was never never seperated from The Father.He walked

I came across this fantastic movie on You Tube about the Passover and I would like you to watch it too. Beth 

The young man was at the end of his rope. Seeing no way out, he dropped to his knees in prayer. "Lord, I can't go on," he said. "I have too heavy a cross to bear." The Lord replied, "My son, if you can't bear it's weight, just place your cross inside this room. Then open another door and pick any cross you wish." The man was filled with relief. "Thank you, Lord," he sighed, and did as he was told. As he looked around the room he saw many different crosses; some so large the tops were not visible. Then he spotted a tiny cross leaning against a far wall. "I'd like that one, Lord," he whispered. And the Lord replied, "My son, that's the cross you brought in."   Oh how the Lord helps opened the doors of heaven and supplied all our needs, healed us,strengthened and comforted us and we showed all our unfaithfulness in all it's worst form by our thoughts,words and deeds. Whenever we had a chance we put him

    My dear sisters today I would like to share with you one of the things that can hinder our prayers to God.Something that is a 100 times worst than not being able to communicate with your loved ones during a catastrophe (earthquake/tsunami/war) especially when the phone lines are down----- IT is " NOT BEING ABLE TO GET THROUGH TO GOD IN PRAYERS" The unforgiving spirit within us can hinder our prayers to God A person who has an unforgiving spirit is always the real loser, much more so than the one against whom the grudge is held.I carried a lot of unforgiving and deep rooted anger for many years and yes I became the real loser.Because of resentment and other negative feelings I started losing out in life.I expected others to make the first move. How painful it was   Unforgiveness started to grow and become rooted in my heart -- I call it  a root of bitterness .  I kept on saying this “But you don't understand! You don't know what he did, I eventually become

“ For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” The Bible " The fullfillment of this whole creation is to be found in man.And this object is only fullfilled when man has awakened that part of himself which represents the master,that is God himself ." Hazrat Inayat Khan The soul is kissed by God in its innermost regions. With interior yearning, grace and blessing are bestowed. It is a yearning to take on God's gentle yoke, It is a yearning to give one's self to God's Way. Every night, when I go to sleep, I die. Every morning, when I wake up, I am reborn. Mahatma Gandhi In spiritual life there is no room for compromise. Awakening is not negotiable; we cannot bargain to hold on to things that please us while relinquishing things that do not matter to us. A lukewarm yearning for awakening is not enough to sustain us through the difficulties involved
