The Lord judges the intentions of our hearts (Hb 4:12) *He knows who does not honour and give Him thanks,* but take pleasure in their own thinking (Rm 1:21). *T̲h̲e̲ ̲L̲o̲r̲d̲ ̲i̲s̲ ̲p̲a̲t̲i̲e̲n̲t̲ ̲w̲i̲t̲h̲ ̲u̲s̲ ̲n̲o̲t̲ ̲w̲a̲n̲t̲i̲n̲g̲ ̲a̲n̲y̲o̲n̲e̲ ̲t̲o̲ ̲p̲e̲r̲i̲s̲h̲,̲ but each one to come to repentance (2Pt 3:9)* therefore He takes away our hearts of stone from our bodies *and gives us a heart of flesh instead Amend (Ez 36:26)*

*Many are deceived when they condem and judge others by The Word of God.* When those others hear The Word and increase their faith, being doers of God's Word, *the ones who keep judging start drifting further away from God's Plans for their lives (Is 58:9)*.

Due to busy schedules children tend to ignore and forget the sacrifices done by their parents. *The Lord promises children long and prosperous lives and that all goes well with them, when they honour their parents (Ep 6:3, Ex 20:12).* We must listen to our father who has given us life and not despise our mother when she is old (Pr 23:22). *Our obedience towards our parents pleases God Amen (Col 3:20)*

*In trials we call on Jesus, Son of David, to have mercy on us. (Mt 15:22)*. We too, need to be merciful, just as our Father is merciful. Not judge, not condemn, but only forgive (Lk 6:36-37). *The Lord is gracious and merciful to us, and does not turn away His face from us, if we return unto him Amen (2 Chr 30: 9b)*

As India marks 80 years of independence, we celebrate its remarkable journey and the strong bond between the world’s largest democracy and the Jewish state.

During his historic visit to Israel in February 2026, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi became the first Indian Prime Minister to address the Knesset, delivering moving words of solidarity that reflected a partnership built on democracy, resilience, innovation, and mutual respect.

Happy 80th Independence Day, India! May the friendship between India and Israel continue to deepen and flourish for generations to come.

*Like Mother Mary do we magnify The Lord when we are assigned a responsible task?* or are we busy magnifying the problems, *social and political issues, and peoples lifestyles*, by criticising, and keeping grudges against them? *Let us learn humility from Mama Mary by renewing our minds and magnifying The Lord,* being the doers of God's Word Amen (Luke 1:26, Jm 1:22)
