Hi folks. This is my first time blogging. My good friend Neharah suggested  it. What a Great idea! Anyway, I hope this will continue for a long time. And These are Some of "My Thoughts"


                    Ok. How to be a man after God's own heart. Does that mean being perfect? Well if you Read through scriptures, it will tell you that you don't have to be perfect. Look At King David. God himself said that David was a man after his own heart. David did some things that make you go"What? No way." But there was some thing about David that God loved. As a human I would've most likely wrote him off. One of the few sayings David loved to say were
"Have mercy on me Oh God."
"Shout joyfully to the Lord"
"Hear my prayer oh lord"
He was constantly Praising God.
One of my favorite stories of David was after he had killed Uriah So he could marry his wife.
After he had married her,a prophet came told him that the child she bore would die. All through the night David,crying and weeping, begged and Pleaded with God to Spare the child. But The lord was adamant. And the child died.
When the news came to David of the death of his child,he got up,washed,put on nice clothes and he went to the house of God and worshiped. His servants were amazed and asked him why, when his son was alive, did he cry and weep. But when his son was dead he praised god and was happy.
His answer was that while his son was still alive,there was some chance that God might have been gracious. Since he was dead,there was no point in grieving because he couldn't bring him back. 
I thought that there was a psalm he wrote for the occasion but I can't find it. If I'm not mistaken, He Praised God for his never ending love and compassion. For his mercy and grace. How many of us can do that? I mean, we get tripped up over not getting to do the things we want to do. We Get mad when he says we can't do something that we've always wanted to do.You Know "But's it doing his work!" David is Praising god After loosing his son. Paul and Barnabas were praising god After they had been beaten and thrown in prison. Job, after loosing EVERYTHING, still would not"Curse God and die!" as his wife said. Amy Carmichael, while permanently stuck in bed and, in some cases, not being able to hold a pen, wrote songs and poems to God. Gorge muller prayed and it happened. And the list goes on and on. What do these people have in common? They all were Praising God Constantly. God loves Praise. He rewards Praise. And with that Praise is a reminder that we are all meant to be men and women after Gods own heart. When we Praise God, especially when we don't feel like it, I think that God smiles and says.
"No you're not perfect. Yes you fall short and sin. But that is not what I'm looking at. I see that you want to be mine. And I'm happy with that."
So the next time your friend says some thing that hurts. When something is not going the way you want it to. Try not to get annoyed or cross with someone. Instead, sing a song to God! you can even pull a Mala and make one on the spot. 
Anyway, these are things I've been thinking about. Thought I'd share it with you all.
