His Love Ministries
Remember that our heavenly Father has our best interests at the forefront of His plan for our lives. Jesus always walks with us, especially in our sufferings. Cling to Him with everything you’ve got and give Him all your pain, suffering, and disillusions. He can turn them into joy, and glory and, finally, will turn our death into life.

Daily Meditation
Are We in Control?
We all like to have control over situations in our lives, but the thing about mercy and forgiveness is that it takes that away. It's not a feeling but a decision; even when you have a right to be hurt or upset, have mercy and forgiveness. Then, turn that over to God and ultimately heals you – even from yourself – in time.
God's mercy takes everything beyond the realm of our control. We don't deserve it; that would be justice, and we can't earn it; it is God's gift. But how can we accept it if we have our hands wrapped so tightly around control? We must let go of both our desire to control and our judgmental attitudes and learn to be as merciful and understanding as God himself.
A doctor entered the hospital in a hurry after being called in for an urgent surgery. He changed his clothes and went directly to the operating room.
He found the boy's father waiting for him in the hall. Seeing him, the dad yelled:
"Why did you take all this time to come? Don't you know that my son's life is in danger? Don't you have a sense of responsibility?"
The doctor smiled and said: "I am sorry, I wasn't in the hospital and came as I could after receiving the call. Please calm down so that I can do my work."
"Calm down?! What if your son was in that room right now? Would you calm down? What would you do if your son was dying?" the father said angrily.
The doctor smiled again and replied: "I would say what Job said in the Holy Bible "From dust we came and to dust we return, blessed be the name of God." Doctors are not God. Go and pray for your son. We will do our best by God's grace."
"Giving advice when we're not concerned is easy," Murmured the father.
The surgery took some hours, after which the doctor went to the father. "Thank God! Your son will live!" And without waiting for the father's reply, he rushed away, saying over his shoulder, "If you have any questions, ask the nurse!!"
After the doctor left, the father said to the nurse: "Why is he so arrogant? Couldn't he spare five minutes so that I could ask about my son's condition?"
The nurse answered, tears coming down her face: "His son died the other day in a car crash. When we called him for your son's surgery, he was at the funeral. And now that he saved your son's life, he left running to get back to his son's funeral."
NEVER JUDGE ANYONE because you never know what they're going through.
