Grateful to God: Celebrating 18 Years of Life.

-
Hello, everyone! I’m Abhishek Kulbainur, and today marks a special milestone in my life—my 18th birthday! As I step into adulthood, I want to take a moment to reflect on the journey so far and express my gratitude to God for all the blessings I’ve received.

A Year of Growth and Learning

Over the past year, I’ve been writing the blogs, which has been an incredible experience. It’s not just a platform for sharing my thoughts, but also a way to connect with others and explore the world around me. Each post has taught me something new, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to express myself and share my journey.

The Importance of Gratitude

Gratitude has a way of transforming our perspective. It shifts our focus from what we lack to appreciating what we have. Every day, I find reasons to be thankful—whether it’s the love of family, the support of elders, or the beauty of nature around me. God has played a pivotal role in shaping my life, guiding me through challenges and celebrating my victories.

Reflecting on Life's Blessings

As I turn 18, I realize how fortunate I am. I have experienced love, laughter, and learning. Each moment has been a stepping stone, helping me grow into the person I am today. I’m thankful for the lessons learned through both successes and failures. They have equipped me with resilience and wisdom.

Looking Ahead

Entering adulthood is both exciting and daunting. There are dreams to chase, challenges to overcome, and experiences to embrace. With God’s guidance, I hope to navigate this new chapter with confidence. I aspire to continue learning, sharing, and making a positive impact in the lives of others.


Today, as I celebrate my 18th birthday, I want to encourage everyone to take a moment to express gratitude. No matter how small the blessing, recognizing it can bring joy and peace. I’m excited for what lies ahead and grateful to God for the journey so far. Thank you for being a part of it!

Here’s to new beginnings and endless possibilities!

With love,  
Abhishek Kulbainur

The Obedient Life

A few days ago, I was at my uncle's house. At night, during our family prayer, he asked my aunt to read Deuteronomy 28:1–14 and pray through it. As I listened, that night I began meditating deeply on those verses—and what truly caught my heart wasn’t just the blessings. It was the condition:   “If you fully obey the Lord your God…” (Deut 28:1) Only one thing God asked for — obedience. And in return, 14 verses full of blessings. That night, I realized: God is not asking us to chase blessings, He’s asking us to walk in obedience.The blessings follow automatically. Today, many people want to be the head, not the tail… blessed in the city and the field… enemies fleeing… but forget the root of it all: a heart that says “Yes, Lord.” Once, my dad told me that obedience is not about being perfect—it’s about trusting God enough to follow Him. It’s easy to sacrifice things for God, but it’s much harder to obey Him in the small, daily things. But remember: “Obedience is better than sacrifice....

GOD IS ABLE

Is God able to do all things? YES! My God is Able to do all things. "God is able" emphasizes God's limitless power and ability to accomplish what seems impossible.  The apostle Paul, in his letter to the Ephesians, declares that God is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine. His power knows no bounds, and He works within us to accomplish His purposes. Refer Ephesians 3:20 for it. Moses personally experienced God's Ability. When faced with the Red Sea, seemingly trapped between the water and the Egyptian army, God miraculously parted the sea, allowing the Israelites to cross safely ( Exodus 14:21-22 ). Moses saw that God was indeed able. We should be totally dependent on GOD . On our own, we can achieve very little ( John 15:5 ). However, when we trust in God, we gain access to power beyond our comprehension ( 1 Chronicles 29:12 ). If you're burdened, remember that God can carry your load ( Matthew 11:28-30 ). Remember always that He can make us s...

The Fruit of the Spirit

-
The Fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self- control (Galatians 5:22-23). Against such things there is no law. In Galatians 5:22, the phrase “fruit of the Spirit” refers to the Holy Spirit. The Apostle Paul states the following nine gifts that result for true repentance, turning away from our sinful towards love for God. 1. Love : "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." - John 13:34 Love is the foundation of all virtues. Treat others with selfless and sacrificial love. 2. Joy : "Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!" - Philippians 4:4 Find your joy in a relationship with God that transcends circumstances. 3. Peace : "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." - John 14:27 Trust in God's sovereignty and find peac...
