Devprayag - The town of Godly Confluence
The celestial town of Devprayag is positioned at an elevation of 830 meters above sea level. Devprayag is the last Prayag or the holy confluence of the Alaknanda River, from here that the confluence of Alaknanda and Bhagirathi River is known as Ganga.
The town is the seat of the pundits of Badrinath Dham. The meaning of Devprayag is Godly confluence as "Dev" man's god and "Prayag" means confluence.
Panch Prayag (Pañca prayāga) is an expression in Hindu religious ethos, specifically used to connote the five sacred river confluences in the Garhwal Himalayas in the state of Uttarakhand, India. The five prayags - prayag meaning "place of confluence of rivers" in Sanskrit - also termed as "Prayag pentad" are Vishnuprayag, Nandaprayag, Karnaprayag, Rudraprayag and Devprayag, in the descending flow sequence of their occurrence.

If the godly give in to the wicked, it’s like polluting a fountain or muddying a spring.
[Proverbs 25:26 NLT]
5 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:
1. Like it or not, we are ALL sinners: As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous—not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one.” (Romans 3:10-12 NLT)
2. The punishment for sin is death: When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. (Romans 5:12 NLT)
3. Jesus is our only hope: But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. (Romans 5:8 NLT) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23 NLT)
4. SALVATION is by GRACE through FAITH in JESUS: God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (Ephesians 2:8-10 NLT)
5. Accept Jesus and receive eternal life: If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9 NLT) But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. (John 1:12 NLT) And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life. (1 John 5:11-12 NLT)
Read the Bible for yourself. Allow the Lord to speak to you through his Word. YOUR ETERNITY IS AT STAKE!

Even if you’re not a believer I really encourage you to read this, it may be important to you :
The mirror plays funny games. My smile has disappeared behind the foggy, blur that my wet eyes gaze through. My mouth is sour from the lasting taste of sick. I shut my eyes, feeling the burning heart beat behind their doors. However, your mind is not like your eyes. You can’t turn it off or keep it closed. The images etch themselves as deep as the permanent memory of his hands carefully unzipping and unbuttoning things that should not be opened. I tried to pretend it was alright, tried to pretend he’s just trying to get closer look at my heart. Then the memory passes and the nausea rips through my body like lightning, getting caught in my veins, then stomach, then throat until I can’t contain all the pain and hate that I have for myself. Once again my mouth is full of that bitter taste. It’s gruesome and rude yet it’s all I seem to know.
Value is merely what we are worth and if I sold myself for something so worthless how can I be of any value? It was there that my mind, my eyes, my stomach, and my heart all faltered and everything went black.
This is more for the girls. How many times have you skipped a meal, cut yourself, scratched yourself, started crying, screamed, or isolated yourself because you felt ugly?
You know what my best friend told me today. She said, “I think happiness is so beautiful. Like, you never look at someone who is smiling and think they’re unattractive because they aren’t. They’re so gorgeous.” I was taken back because it’s so true. We get angry and upset and depressed because we feel ugly when the truth is, we are ugly because we believe these lies.
I once told a friend suffering through an eating disorder that “the only perfect person thinks you’re beautiful”. And that broke me inside because I’ve spent the last year feeling the way I described in that writing above. Coming from someone who knows it, fights with it every day, has and is still living it, and someone who will overcome it. I will. I have to say this :
1. No matter how much you want to be accepted, no guy can fill that hole inside of you. Each and every time they will just make it bigger.
2. You can spend as much time in front of the mirror as you want but beauty fades over time and that personality and heart you had will be crushed by your obsession with appearance and perfection.
Proverbs 31: 10 “Who can find a virtuous wife, for her worth is far above rubies,”
A Godly wife, means so much more than riches and treasures. God looks at us that way and sees us like this. He doesn’t see what we’ve done because like the bible says “As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us” Psalms 103:12, he sees the beauty and potential inside of us and forgives us of our wrongs, no matter how gruesome and sickening we find them. God wants you to be happy and feel beautiful because he created you in his image, the most perfect person alive. By that it’s obvious, you are valuable to him in a way that is deserving of the most amazing love.
If a man cannot love you in a way that honours you then he is surely not deserving of you.
Proverbs 31:30 “Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.”
1 Samuel 16:7 “…For the LORD does not see as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance but the LORD looks at the heart.”
I have a friend who is a guy and who is heart broken by this and how lust and young girls search for love in all the wrong places. That right there is my hope that one day God will give me someone who values me like the word tells him too and someone who loves me purely and rightly. I hope the same for all of you.
So here’s the final question, what will you let matter more? Your face that you paint on every day just to get attention and interest for a fake version of yourself? Or are you going to let yourself shine through that enough so your heart doesn’t die in the process?
God thinks we’re all so beautifully made yet all of us can deny that. It’s hard to be comforted by that but the fact is, I know now, that when you look in the mirror and stop seeing your reflection and start seeing YOU…there’s a change, a happiness, a real, raw beauty that is indescribable.
But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
[1 Timothy 6:6-10 NIV]

A stop in Lisbon Portugal included a visit to the Jeronimos Monastery found near the Tagus river. The monastery is one of the most prominent examples of Portuguese Late Gothic architecture and is classified a UNESCO World Heritage site.
In October of 2016 my wife and I along with good friends visited parts of Italy, Spain, Portugal and France as part of a western Mediterranean cruise aboard the Celebrity Silhouette.
God's jewels!
(Thomas Watson, "Religion Our True Interest")
"They will be Mine!" says the Lord Almighty, "in the day when I make up My jewels!" Malachi 3:17
God's people are His jewels — His own special treasure!
In what sense are the saints, God's jewels?
Jewels are precious things; the Hebrew word for jewels signifies a treasure. A treasure is made up of costly things — gold, and diamonds and rubies. Such a precious treasure, are the saints to God.
They are jewels for their sparkling quality. Their holiness shines and sparkles in God's eyes! (Song of Solomon 4:9), "You have ravished My heart, with one glance of your eyes!" That is, with one of your graces.
The godly are jewels for their scarcity. Diamonds are not common. Just so, the godly are scarce and rare. There are but few of these to be found. There are many false professors (as there are many plastic diamonds) — but few true Christians. Among the millions in Rome, there were but few senators. Just so, among the swarms of people in the world — there are but few true believers.
The godly are jewels for their price. Queen Cleopatra had two jewels which were worth half the price of a kingdom. Thus the saints are jewels, for their value. God esteems them at a high rate; He parted with His best jewel for them — Christ's precious blood was shed to ransom these jewels!
The saints are jewels for their adorning quality. Jewels adorn those who wear them. The saints are jewels which adorn the world. Their piety mixed with prudence honors the gospel. Hypocrites eclipse true religion and make it badly spoken of. The saints as jewels, render it illustrious by their sanctity.
God the Father has chosen these jewels, and set them apart for Himself!
Christ has bought these jewels with His blood!
The Holy Spirit has sanctified them. When they were a lump of sin — He made them into His jewels! He will string these pearls together — and put them into His celestial cabinet!
Bless God who has wrought such a change in you! From lumps of dirt and sin — He has made you into His jewels!
So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will
find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
Luke 11:9-10
The following is a suggested prayer:
"Lord Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God and that you died on the cross for my sins to save me from eternal death. I open the door of my life and receive you as my Savior and Lord. I give you my life. Help me to be what You want me to be. Amen."
