Hi Joynetters, Shalom... When Jesus Talks about the Narrow -way.. he doesnt talk abt the narrow minded way.. Being in Love with somebody is not a trap or something wrong.... Manytimes it is gods way of lifting you up when u r down.. But when u stretch this lovely thing called "love" to its extremes... then u " fall".. To avoid that god has given us a head and something in it also..and we are called to use it.. Not every one of us is samson and not every person we love is Delilah.. If we are so narrow minded about it.. it is an insult to our humanness.. Also we have to realise that very special line at the end of this samson delilah episode.. when samson destroys that hall..he kills many more of his enemies than he had killed in his entire lifetime.. So what we have here is a point to note.. "God can write straight on crooked lines ". Even though samson commited a big mistake.. god ensured that his purpose was still served and in a way not expected even by samson or the israelites.. So guys.. just ensure that ur beloved is not delilah who will sell u off.. ;-) and gals just ensure that ur beloved is not samson.. very strong in body.. but very weak in the mind and spirit.. ;-) Ask god for the gift of a person with the right balance.. Only then will your relationship work.. What God Unites Let No Man( Woman) Divide.. A point that came into my mind just now is this.. Have you noticed how the bible is not ashamed of showing the weaker side of its heroes... Be it david, Solomon, Samson..name them.. all of them are shown as humans and not as supermen.. Unlike our Hindi films where the hero is never wrong.. Have you ever asked why it is so? It is very clear . the guys who wrote these books.. didnt want us to concentrate on these human heroes, but more so on the god who uses these heroes inspite of all their faults to fulfill his purpose of salvation.. and is therefore the superhero of them all.. So then let us not come to a halt at samsons and delilah's.. But move beyond and see the god who is still in control .. For us personally ..the lesson is very clear.. We may do mistakes..as big as samson.. people may ditch us and turn against us like delilah.. in our daily lives.. But beyond that is a loving god who is in control and who knows what is best.. Let us trust him then.. with our samsons and with our delilahs..Life will be more wonderful and worth living then..

I am joining Jude..... we say about "Fall" in love with somebody .Of course its a trap.... Jesus Speaks about Narrow way, the way where there is nospace to change direction.This way is directs towards life and there is no possibility to turn left or right....I think we all are supposed to travel thru` this way and not the broadway where there is enough space to go here and there...... Father we pray do not lead us to "fall" into "temptations".Amen [IMAGE]keep in touch[IMAGE] Love from Jesus & Dexon. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Protect your PC - Click here for McAfee.com VirusScan Online =============================================================================== This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.
