When the heart wants what it wants

April 27, 2018April 27, 2018 / muktimasih / 5 Comments

I am at a stage where in the ‘social’ and ‘worldly’ sense, I am beyond redemption. It used to sadden me only a few years ago and also make me bitter sometimes. But over the years, I have learnt to laugh at it. No, genuinely. Being a single girl in her 30s in India, most … Continue reading When the heart wants what it wants

I have often been mocked for my faith in Christ. Do you actually believe that? - I have been asked bluntly. And I have said - Yes I do - in the same breath. Once I made it my mission to share about the love of Jesus Christ with two of my atheist friends. One of them had done his homework well - he had read everything available on Wikipedia. As I began sharing, he didn’t let me finish my sentences. He constantly interrupted me. I still managed to share the entire message, the bottom line being - God loved you so much that he gave His only son Jesus to pay for your sins. Jesus died as an atonement of your sins and rose again on the third day to defeat death. Now you can have an eternal life because he defeated sin and death. This atheist freind ridiculed me at various levels. I concluded with saying that even science comes down to beliefs, so give Jesus a chance, believe for once. That day while driving back home, I was filled with so much anguish but I forgave them cuz Jesus forgave me first. You know we are still freinds, I didn’t stop praying for them. And now they are accepting of my faith, they truly understand the purity of faith in general. They have come this far, they will believe in Christ one day. That’s my belief, that’s my faith. Happy Easter folks! Jesus is risen! . . . . . #easter #blogger #lifequotes #lifestyleblogger

Getting to stay at the rest house here was one of the best things during Bhutan. The Royal Thimphu college is the first private college in Bhutan, located in its capital Thimphu. Since education is free for all, most people study in government colleges. But then they don’t get access to specialised courses such as Mass Communication or Life Sciences. The RTC offers all of these courses though the most popular stream is still - Business. It makes me think what is it that drives students around the world to Business? The prospect of better life, owning a luxury car or a plush house? Why is Business considered a ticket to better life? This mentality is so futile and shallow. Money can never give us a good life, it can at max make certain things more accessible. Like I could spend a few nights in this place for RS 1800 per night but how much I soaked up to this place, the peace it brought me or how much my heart admired the beauty of God here - are the things that money couldn’t give me. The Bible says - Contentment is great gain. . . #travel #bhutan #bhutantravel #mattersoftheheart #life #lifestyleblogger #lifelessons #travelblogger #bhutandiaries #royalthimphucollege

We have such an appetite for dramatising life and assuming ourselves to be the protagonists struggling with the rising tides. This is not to undermine the actual heartaches - they can be as painful as a physical pain. I am just learning to have more patience with heartaches. I am learning to allow God to take the driver’s seat always. This kills my ego but it also helps me realize that my pain is not all that matters. There are others with worse circumstances. If I get through this right now, if I let the heartache teach its lessons, I will emerge stronger than before. I am letting God use my weakness. . . . . . . . #lifequotes #life #lifestyleblogger #lifelessons #lifelesson #heartache #heartachequotes #heartaches #mattersoftheheart

Still so hung-over on Bhutan. Expect all this in your feed all this month folks. You have been warned. . . . . . . #bhutan #bhutantravel #travelphotography #travelblogger #shotoniphone #iphone6 #bhutandiaries #travelgram

Cross-country biking is a major kick! I am still someone who ‘experienced’ it because it was @abhishekmasih who was on the accelerator. One of the best things though of being on the pillion seat is you get so much time to reflect and behold. My latest blog records some such reflections. Do check it out.

Singleness

Most loved

I would rather
When the heart wants what it wants
Drops of April rain
Tomorrow you won't be mine
We did cross-country biking to Bhutan and how?
Being a misfit in a world that's forgotten courtesies
Get over yourself, will you?
I will build
