Meditation*s of the day

Quran - 4:172
یٰۤاَہۡلَ الۡکِتٰبِ لَا تَغۡلُوۡا فِیۡ دِیۡنِکُمۡ وَ لَا تَقُوۡلُوۡا عَلَی اللّٰہِ اِلَّا الۡحَقَّ ؕ اِنَّمَا الۡمَسِیۡحُ عِیۡسَی ابۡنُ مَرۡیَمَ رَسُوۡلُ اللّٰہِ وَ کَلِمَتُہٗ ۚ اَلۡقٰہَاۤ اِلٰی مَرۡیَمَ وَ رُوۡحٌ مِّنۡہُ ۫ فَاٰمِنُوۡا بِاللّٰہِ وَ رُسُلِہٖ ۚ۟ وَ لَا تَقُوۡلُوۡا ثَلٰثَۃٌ ؕ اِنۡتَہُوۡا خَیۡرًا لَّکُمۡ ؕ اِنَّمَا اللّٰہُ اِلٰہٌ وَّاحِدٌ ؕ سُبۡحٰنَہٗۤ اَنۡ یَّکُوۡنَ لَہٗ وَلَدٌ ۘ لَہٗ مَا فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ مَا فِی الۡاَرۡضِ ؕ وَ کَفٰی بِاللّٰہِ وَکِیۡلًا ﴿۱۷۲﴾٪

  • O People of the Book, exceed not the limits in your religion, and
  • say not of Allah anything but the truth.
  • Verily, the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, was only a Messenger of Allah
  • and a fulfilment of His word which He sent down to Mary, and a mercy from Him.
  • So believe in Allah and His Messengers,
  • and say not ‘They are three.’ Desist, it will be better for you.
  • Verily, Allah is the only One God.
  • Far is it from His Holiness that He should have a son.
  • To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth.
  • And sufficient is Allah as a Guardian.
Holy Quran: Read, Listen and Search

Won't one kindly reflect and meditate on the ^ verse, please?

Right?

O mystery exalted beyond every word and beyond silence, who became human in order to renew us by means of your voluntary union with the flesh, reveal to me the path by which I may be raised up to your mysteries, traveling along a course that is clear and tranquil, free from the illusions of this world. Gather my mind into the silence of prayer, so that wandering thoughts may be silenced within me during that luminous converse of supplication and mystery-filled wonder.

Do you desire to make God laugh?

Tell Him your plan. :D

God has mercy on us. He says "yes" to us, he wills to be on our side, to be our God against all odds. Indeed against all odds, because we do not deserve this mercy, because, as we rightly suppose, He should say "no" to us all. But he does not say no; He says yes. he is not against us; he is for us. This is God's mercy." ~Karl Barth

“Salvation is not gained by moral perfection. It is a gift that comes by grace, through faith. That in turn means salvation cannot be lost by moral imperfection. What is not gained by performance cannot be lost by poor performance." ― Michael S. Heiser

"There are different kinds of fire; there is false fire. No one knows this better than we do, but we are not such fools as to refuse good bank notes because there are false ones in circulation; and although we see here and there manifestations of what appears to us to be nothing more than mere earthly fire, we none the less prize and value, and seek for the genuine fire which comes from the altar of the Lord." ~William Booth

"Spirit filled souls are ablaze for God. They love with a love that glows. They serve with a faith that kindles. They serve with a devotion that consumes. They hate sin with fierceness that burns. They rejoice with a joy that radiates. Love is perfected in the fire of God." ~Samuel Chadwick

“Transformation isn’t sweet and bright. It’s a dark and murky, painful pushing. An unraveling of the untruths you’ve carried in your life. A practice of facing your own created demons. A complete uprooting, before becoming.” ~Victoria Erickson

“Nothing happens until the pain of remaining the same outweighs the pain of change.” ~Arthur Burt
