You choose your place in eternity!

We are utlitmatley responsible for our own fate! God gave us free will when he created us. We are free to either love him or reject him. God in his infinite love and wisdom created us to love him but he did not want to control us. We have to choose either life or death.


Sin , which is the choice to reject him, always comes with consequences. Notice how the things you do that go against him always have baggage attached to them. They may seem to make you feel good in the moment but after the monent has passed, they leave lasting negative effects on you and those around you. Sin effectively destroys the life of grace within your soul!



You may not know it or believe it but your soul becomes lifeless when you are always steeped in sin and unrepented sin causes you to become dead inside. God always gives us chances to turn back to him, to respond to his love, upto the moment of our death! When you die however, your choices become permanent and if your choice has been to reject him all your life, then you will have chosen HELL and there you will dwell for all eternity.


Many people think , oh how can God be so cruel as to create Hell. Hell in my opinion is our own creation by our choice to reject God and his love and our choice to reject his mercy. God desires only our salvation but if we will not repent of our sin and turn to merciful love, then we will have chosen hell. God is merciful love but he is also true Justice and if we will not have him as merciful svaiour, then we will not escape his Justice. I choose Life in Jesus Christ. What will you choose?

Prisoner of love

Image
It is a beautiful thing to be in love but also a painful thing! So many misunderstandings can hurt you and sometimes it seems like you love someone more than they love you and it hurts grievously. However there is only one who understands and who chose to be a "prisoner of love" and that is Jesus Christ! We, Roman Catholics believe that Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist. At the moment of consecration by the priest, the host becomes the body, blood, soul and divinity of Jesus. Jesus loves us so much that he never ever wants to be far from us, so before he died he instituted the Eucharist at the last supper.  I cannot even describe how much this love humbles me and makes me realize my own poor efforts at "love". His love is so beautiful and pure and it is truly everything a person could ever want or hope for! How many insults have we given him? How many times have we not visited him in the blessed sacrament and yet he is always there waiting for us!...

Xenophobia in South Africa

Image
In the recent past weeks i have truly been shocked and saddened by the situation of xenophobia in south Africa. Some sections of south Africans have been burning and killing other Africans who are not citizens of south Africa saying they are taking jobs meant for citizens. I have even heard that some teachers in schools are asking foreign students why they came to study in south Africa. Given south Africa's turbulent racial past, this truly baffles me. The late Nelson Mandela must be rolling in his grave right now. He fought for the racial freedoms of black Africans. How can we turn on our own people? Granted, racism is abhorrent but i just cant understand violence against your own race! South Africans need to do something about this. Stand up and fight this evil before it destroys you as a country. For those foreign African nationals living in fear, our prayers are with you! I can imagine how difficult it is to live your home and start a life somewhere only to have it des...

A cheerful Giver!

Image
I am sometimes selfish, it is one of my weaknesses as a person. I pray that God gives me a selfless heart so that i can give, and not just give but give with a joyful heart. When we are being charitable, it is important not to grumble inwardly but to give freely with joy. I know it is hard because it goes against our selfish nature but truth be told, it feels good to help out someone in need. We hold on to so many things that we do not need anymore. Our basements and storage spaces are filled with things we may not need anymore but we just keep holding on to them. However one important thing to note when being charitable especially when giving away things is, you need to respect the dignity of the person receiving. Do not give them torn clothing, or things that are basically best thrown out in the trash! Lets also understand that people receiving are human beings and we all want to receive good things. A priest once told me that when we are giving, we should give something ...
