Mathav's fairy tale

Mathav is Vani’s husband. Chrish has already blogged about Vani here. On 30th of December 2009, we had the opportunity to visit their home. Actually they do not have a home for themselves yet and are accommodated in the home of another believer. The occasion was a thanks giving prayer meeting and the event was Mathav obtaining his visa. If you remember the previous story you would remember that they had to obtain their Australian visa before Dec 31, 2009 since after that day they would have to leave the country until their visa is approved. You would also remember that Vani had accepted Christ Jesus into her life during this period and how she told Chrish the following points.

1. She knows that God is in control of her life
2. Whether they get the visa or not should not make any change in her attitude to life since she has "real" joy in her and circumstances cannot change that joy
3. The fact that God controls her life means that she can relax and let God work the way He wants to in her life.

Here is someone who has just committed her life to Christ Jesus and has started to read God’s words, the Holy Bible. I am a sure that she was not familiar with passages like:

Mt 6:31-33 Don't worry and ask yourselves, "Will we have anything to eat? Will we have anything to drink? Will we have any clothes to wear?"
Only people who don't know God are always worrying about such things. Your Father in heaven knows that you need all of these.
But more than anything else, put God's work first and do what he wants. Then the other things will be yours as well.

Habakkuk 3:17 Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior.

John 14:27 I [Jesus Christ] give you peace, the kind of peace that only I [Jesus Christ] can give. It isn't like the peace that this world can give. So don't be worried or afraid. More...
