"And Bahran being afraid of him gave him the letter. And the angel blew on the paper, and obliterated everything, which was written upon it."



Have you ever wondered if God re-write stories? We all have come through different paths.Many things may have happened that have left us scars and left us to not believe the future. Or our life has gone upside down that we really don't know if we can ever make it again or not. But today i want all of us to believe that God can re-write our stories all over again. 

God always has something better in mind. God show us his love and grace from our past. He rewrite our story and redeem those very same events so that we reflect his glory in a whole new different way. We have two choices to make, we either let our past destroy us or we let God re-write the story and we learn from our past and take it as an opportunity to push and move forward? Which one are you going to chose? I choose for God to re-write all my stories all over again and today i choose to take all challenges of life as an opportunity to grow and even push forward and move on for the better.  Because problems are eye opener's which will help you write your own great stories. All we have to do is believe that God rewrite stories and prey for them with a hard work.  But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.Philippians 3:13-14. 

It is all about a mind set. If you believe you can do it, yes you can. If you are giving up and sitting down then it is not happening. Are you sure you can do it? Maybe you don't have what it takes, what if you fail.....Leave all of that and decide today that anything is possible for God. "'If you can'?" said Jesus. "Everything is possible for one who believes". Mark 9:23. We should always interpret set back's, criticism as growth mindset signs to change strategies, work better, work harder and smarter. Here a very good example

Fixed foolish Mindset says- " Are you sure this is possible", What if you fail? 

Growth Mindset answers- Anything is possible for God, and i am not afraid of failing by any means if i fail i will dust myself off and rise up. I will change and device a new strategy and I will finally win. Did not you know i am a winner through God who loved me to the end?  Do you know we are all winners? No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. Romans 8:37. I can do all things through him who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13. 

But we have to break the pattern that draw us back. We have to consider new ways and change our way of life to achieve better. Change the mindset that makes you fall in the same sin over and over again. Develop new habits that will help us overcome our weakness. To put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. Ephesians 4:22-24. 


 So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.2 Corinthians 4:16-18. 


But as said in all problems of life we are still winners through whom loved us till the end.  so what shall we do? We should hold on Hope. We should also believe that God will re-write our stories again. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

And Bahran being afraid gave the letter and the angel blew on the paper and changed the letter of death to new beautiful life. Today  we celebrate the commemoration of the glorious angel Michael the Archangel. From the beautiful history of Bahran we learn that God re-writes stories all over again. Let us all believe and pray that God will change our life's for the better. Let us pray and make our efforts daily and God is faithful to re-write the stories all over again.

And let us ask for mercy from God through the intercession of the glorious angel Michael, that He may deliver us from the net of Satan,the accursed, and may put far away from us all pain (or, sickness) and the plague, and may increase the fruits of our lands in performing His mercy, and may forgive us our sins, and
may give rest to the souls of our dead, and may bring back in safety those of our fathers
and brethren who are on a journey, and may set peace in our midst, and may strengthen us
in the True Faith to our last breath.
