Are You Living a Life Rooted in Gratitude and Faith?

“Life’s journey is not measured by the years we live but by the moments we dedicate to knowing and glorifying God.”

Wake Up Call: Remember Your Creator

Good Morning, dear reader!
Today’s message invites us to reflect deeply on the words of Ecclesiastes 12:1:

“Remember your creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come and the years draw near when you will say, ‘I have no pleasure in them.’”

“ഒന്നിലും സന്തോഷം തോന്നുന്നില്ല എന്നു നീ പറയുന്ന ദുര്‍ദിനങ്ങളും വര്‍ഷങ്ങളും ആഗമിക്കും മുന്‍പ്‌ യൗവനകാലത്ത്‌ സ്രഷ്‌ടാവിനെ സ്‌മരിക്കുക.”
—സഭാപ്രസംഗകന്‍ 12: 1

This profound verse acts as a wake-up call for all of us. It highlights the fleeting nature of life and the urgency to centre our hearts on God while we are still able to fully engage with Him.

🔥 A Message from His Excellency, Rt. Rev. Dr. Selvister Ponnumuthan 🔥

His Excellency encourages us to embrace this scripture as a call to action. The Bishop emphasizes that our youth is not just a phase of strength and vitality but a sacred season to establish a relationship with our Creator. He explains:

“Life’s journey is not measured by the years we live but by the moments we dedicate to knowing and glorifying God. The days of our youth are God’s gift, a foundation for a life rooted in faith. Let us not wait until life’s challenges drain our joy and energy. Instead, let us offer our prime years to God as an act of gratitude and trust.”
