What See You

Theme: All things are possible with God who is with you, only if you would look to him


The red sea in front of them
The armed Egyptian army behind them
Seeing these peoples heart melted within them
Moses saw only God that was there for them

Joshua and Caleb with the twelve
Saw the land of Canaan and people dwell
Good land of fruits with giants strong as hell
Only Joshua and Caleb of the lord did tell

David hid in mountains and ran round
With King Saul and his army around
Shadow of Death and valleys surround
Yet believed he in the masters rod and staff and stood ground.

So u see troubles around you
Do u see medical reports against you
Do u see problems upon you
Just focus on him and ask yourself what see you.

Virtual Reality of life

Theme: Live life today doing things that you would enjoy and worth doing as if it were to be the last day of life.

Seasons in life change as the days age
Old leaves making way for the new
The ultimate reality in life
For which the mind is often unprepared.

Kings and their glories shade away
Many mighty conquerors noiseless lay
No one could ever have a say
Against the appointed time and day

The moments we closed our eyes to dream of dreams
Of a better richer world which in the end does matters.
The things that we failed to share with others will never be shared,
Moments lost without showing love and affection will never be undone.

Life and people of today may never return
Precious moments once lost are gone forever
Enjoy every day being happy and sharing joy
Like it is the last day before the final dawn.

Edith Taylor - Love Personified

Karl and Edith Taylor lived in a small apartment in Waltham, Massachusetts. They lived happily for 23 years and they loved each other very much. Karl was a government warehouse worker. In February 1950 the government sent Karl to Okinawa, Japan for a few months to work in a warehouse there. Although he was in the habit of sending to his wife some small gifts and postcards wherever he was sent to work, a short time after Karl went to Okinawa, hardly any postcards or gifts reached her. Also his assignment, which was supposed to have been only for a few months, got extended and extended mysteriously. Edith thought, her husband must be very busy; now he may have to work, cook, do shopping, clean his place of stay, etc. Perhaps he did not have time to write. In the meantime, Edith, who was a deeply committed Christian got an idea; why not I give a surprise to Karl when he gets back. She worked hard and gave a down payment to buy a small house.

However, after a short time Edith got a letter from Karl: “Dear Edith, I wish there were a kinder way to tell you that we are no longer married…” Karl married a 19 year old servant girl called Aiko, from Okinawa. Edith was 48. Although it was surprising and shocking to Edith, she took the whole matter to the Lord in prayer. Instead of getting filled with anger and hatred towards Karl, she felt compassion for Karl, a lonely man who always leaned on Edith for help. She felt compassion for Aiko too, a, penniless, perhaps illiterate girl who desperately needed a life partner.

Karl wrote one day that he and Aiko were expecting a baby. Marie was born in 1951; then Helen in 1953. Edith felt compassion and sent little gifts for the children. After sometime she got a letter to say Karl was in the hospital dying of lung cancer; he had hardly any money for the hospital bills. Edith sent some money. Also, she did all that she could do so that Karl could die in peace.

After his death, Edith offered Aiko’s two girls education in America, as all the money Karl saved for the children were spent on hospital bills. Although it was very hard to part with the children (they were the only reason for her to live on this earth), she finally accepted the offer and sent the children to Edith. Edith worked hard to take care of the children and their education. In a few years time she became very weak and sickly. She realized, she was getting old and the girls needed help. She decided to bring Aiko from Japan. However, Aiko was still a Japanese citizen and the immigration quota had a long waiting list of many more years. By this time, newspapers published this wonderful story of forgiving love. Many petitions were forwarded to Congress. A special bill speeded through Congress and in August 1957 Aiko Taylor was permitted to enter the United States.

As Aiko came down the stairs from the plane at New York Airport, what happened ? Naturally Edith had every right to hate and to be furious and take revenge against Aiko. She could have told her, “You are the one who destroyed my marriage of 23 years. You destroyed my life, my family, my future, my happiness, my health, my wealth, my husband” etc. etc. Instead, Edith went and warmly hugged Aiko and Aiko wept on Edith’s shoulders! Aiko found in Edith a love and compassion which she could not get even from her late husband.

Decoding the "Saint"

Often we come across the word "saint" .... this post is just to understand what "saint" is all about from a christian perspective.

First point of view

When we call someone a saint... yes saint, but compared to whom? i mean its possible that a person who killed 10 persons calls another person who killed 1 person as a saint, this comparison is absurd, but thats wat we normally do, a bigger sinner calling a lesser sinner a saint :)

Second point of view

When God has made us and called us with a very great calling, God knows our state, yet in his eyes we are all children who would grow to the state he desires, ofcourse through a path of nudge,scrubbing,refining etc etc. One quality of God is "he calls things that are not as though they were" so he sees us as 100% full fruits and we are growing towards that ... so yes with eyes of faith since we are washed by the blood of the lamb we do well to declare to the devil and associates that we are no longer under sin but we are saints.

Eric Liddell

Eric Liddell, often called the "Flying Scotsman" after the record breaking locomotive, was born in Tianjin (formerly transliterated as Tientsin) in North China, second son of the Rev & Mrs James Dunlop Liddell who were Scottish missionaries with the London Missionary Society. Liddell was born in 1902 and went to school in China until the age of five. At the age of six, he and his brother Robert, eight years old, were enrolled in Eltham College, Mottingham, a boarding school in England for the sons of missionaries. Their parents and sister Jenny returned to China. During the boys' time at Eltham their parents, sister and new brother Ernest came home on furlough two or three times and were able to be together as a family - mainly living in Edinburgh.

At Eltham, Liddell was an outstanding sportsman, being awarded the Blackheath Cup as the best athlete of his year, playing for the First XI and the First XV by the age of 15, later becoming captain of both the cricket and rugby union teams. His headmaster described him as being 'entirely without vanity'.

Eric Liddell became well-known for being the fastest runner in Scotland while at Eltham College. Newspapers carried the stories of his successful track meets. Many articles stated that he was a potential Olympic winner, and no one from their country had ever won a gold medal before.

During the summer of 1924, the Olympics were hosted by the city of Paris. Liddell was a committed Christian and refused to run on Sunday (the Christian Sabbath), with the consequence that he was forced to withdraw from the 100 meters race, his best event. The schedule had been published several months earlier, and his decision was made well before the Games began. Liddell spent the intervening months training for the 400 meters, an event in which he had previously excelled. Even so, his success in the 400m was largely unexpected. The day of 400 meters race came, and as Liddell went to the starting blocks, an American masseur slipped a piece of paper into Liddell's hand with a quotation from 1 Samuel 2:30, "Those who honor me I will honor." He not only won the race, but broke the existing world record with a time of 47.6 seconds. A few days earlier Liddell had competed in the 200 metre finals, for which he received the bronze medal behind Americans Jackson Scholz and Charles Paddock, beating Harold Abrahams, who finished in sixth place. (This was the second and last race in which these two runners met.)

His performance in the 400 metres in Paris remained a world record for four years, and a European record for 12 years.

Love

Today morning just happened to think abt love, its true meaning and power. love indeed is supreme compared to any other thing a person can ever have, love can pardon, can uphold, can shoulder, love stands out even when death is past!

Where are you?

we find God asking adam and eve "where are u" .... when they were hiding themselves after the sin of disobedience... clearly points out that "just disobedience" was not the single deciding factor. if disobedience was the only factor then as soon as the woman ate that fruit we could have had a scenario where an angel met them with judgment instead of God himself coming down and asking them something like "where are u"...

we find similarities with this instance and the life of king Saul, when samuel questions saul after the war ... saul point to the people and says "the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God" ... and God removed his fellowship from Saul - and we know the punishment that came upon him was great

in davids life .... even though his sin was great, he immediately repented when the prophet met him .... ofcourse he had some punishment .... but God did not remove his presence from David ...

and to get back this fellowship between God and man ... Christ had to offer himself as a sin offering.

Final Night

Theme: The Final Night of Human Life



When the final night arrives
And darkness for a moment thrives
Body nor its glory survives
All its memory ends as archives

Goodbye to all things done
Goodbye to all things undone
Farewell without a tone
Heart finds it tough alone

Going past the time of life
Events all closed without strife
Nothing more can be cut by a knife
Here ends the song of life

All material strength bulldozed
Inherent weakness truly disclosed
vanity's glory completely exposed
Finally its time and the doors closed

He gives and takes away
He gives and takes away
We are safe in him anyway
Thats all i can say

Notes on LOVE

1 Corinthians 13:4(NIV) Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

Song of Solomon 8:6(KJV) Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame. 7 Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.

Suicide - The battle of the Soul

Suicide is the result of a person concluding life or living meaningless, so what exactly causes a person to commit suicide


1. A person commits suicide when he fails to understand that God is able to change his circumstances (complete lack of faith in God)
2. A person commits suicide when he is befelled in pain, grief, sorrow, horror etc. (complete lack of faith in God)
3. A person commits suicide when he finds life meaningless (i.e. lack of faith in God, because God found the life of man so meaningful that he came down to suffer for us)
4. Suicide is not allowed under the law (isn’t suicide a failure to believe on our God of love, and that love is greater than law?)

Working of the spirit of suicide:

The spirit of suicide, unlike anger and other emotions is not instantaneous i.e. suddenly a person felt and committed suicide - it just doesn’t happen this way. A person is slave to many many other spirits before the spirit of suicide can finally take over to finish things off. In other words, the ground work for suicide begins in a person long before the final deed occurs. The spirit of suicide knocks on the heart though loop-holes such as hatred, guilt, depression etc, once it finds a foot hold, it convinces the person that "IT" is the only best solution for that person. At this moment the person having chosen it begins to think about it, this thinking can be converted to action at some point in time by some circumstantial catalysts(unless the spirit of suicide was there, these catalysts have no meaning).

In short suicide occurs due to: Failure to believe on existence/love of a "Saviour" who could save.

Flower On Calvary Rock

Theme: The Flower On Calvary Rock



I am a flower of the day
But am on the calvary rock
Bloomed because of his love
Bloomed because of the cross

I have this moment to praise
His great and wondrous name
And an eternity to sing
The fragrant song of my life

Though i was abiding in sin
And residing in deep hell
His blood on cross was able to purchase
And set me up on the kings highway

A flower on the rock
A testimony of his eternal love
Because i have the masters grace
A eternal bliss to cheer for ever

Let everything that has life seek him
Let everything that has breath praise him
For in him is hope everlasting
And love that grants life everlasting

I am a flower of the day
But am on the calvary rock
Bloomed because of his love
Bloomed because of the cross

Path of Life

Theme: Life


Once a child cries on earth, there is laughter around, when a child wants it can do nothing else but express with a cry, lack of materialistic knowledge of the world, lack of strength ...

As the child progresses in wisdom and knowledge to live on earth ... many fascinations appear words like "success" "achievement" and "failure" appear ... a kind that one would get to see when on rollercoaster ride "sky" "present reality" and "stuck in atmosphere"

As the ride progresses, all achievements and gains made start to fade, life becomes seeing the joy of some another, perhaps child/grand child ...

As days go on further, memories only remain, excellence in wisdom, but no strength to make use of it... days go on and on ... only to see another new day .... dull ... people whom u love have so many other things to be busy with ... life just goes on .... all friends u made in life depart as if in queue.

Finally the stage ... where people will give u what they want or what they think is good for u ...u are not consulted even for the things u need ... all items like food and clothing are forced upon u ... in weakness - u behold urself, probably in the hospital ICU... then comes the final moment... when the body that was urs does not matter anymore. A few tears and grieved faces around

A child, a running man or a life's retired bed man .... he who has the lord to guide him is always safe, he is a friend who would lead life beyond the grave.!!

Is all this Worthy

Theme: Fruit of Life



Some toil all day and sweat
All and more to increase asset
"Just to stay alive", some say with regret
Is all this a worthy bet

Some need not work all day
For them its just pleasure with play
Pets do on carpet lay
Is all this a worthy way

Sun labours on the day
Green plants or the hay
Its soon another day gone away
Is all this a worthy day

Some learn life and some teach life
Some lead way and some cut like knife
some search mysteries and some solve strife
Is all this a worthy life

Some have future in mind
Some have memories of time past behind
Some want just the present well defined
Is all this worthy mankind

Walking by his side

Theme: Walking by his side



Walking by his side
Need not fear the tide
With his love inside
We have nothing to hide

Some rely on horses with pride
They rise and fall with the tide
Our hope is on our eternal guide
For because of him we abide

Some soldiers do backslide
Some in path begin to chide
Some expect a joyride
Home is far, i see the roadside

On the Cross he finally replied
"It is Finished" he said and died
A victory, for our sakes who once denied
For us death itself he hath defied

Though all loved once leave us aside
When we have no mortal beside
When tears leave marks bedside
We know him who still can provide

Vanity of Vanities

Theme: Vanity in Life



Work or joy
Is it just another ploy
Is it just a decoy
Like playing with u as a toy

A review of life
The journey with strife
Cuts smooth as a knife
A new passion a new strife


Always busy with work
To obtain more than hold the fork
Time vanishes like a firework
Life for once needs rework

Passion and glory of the sun
Does dry the grass with fun
To gain more land than a man can run
Just a trap the devil has spun

The burden under the weak shoulder
Dispairs the poor brearer
Treading around without an answer
Its time to look at his banner

We are called to dine
With the king divine
Not to worry about lifeline
For he alone is the true vine

Look to him when burden doth congest
When worries our lives arrest
Look towards that permanent nest
For he has promised rest

Sad News

Theme: Sad News



Me cant hear it
Me cant take it
Why do i burden with it
Leave it to him who knows it
Let him handle and lead it

Love and dominion war
Remembrance remains like scar
Sorrow shining like a star
Eternal home's not afar

What hath man more precious
What is it that life renders
What joy is in these perils
A pile of sand under the nostrils

Human strength does fail
Path fades away memories trail
Train of life in pathless derail
The time still does silently sail

The boat will still prevail
Just few days of turmoil
After travail a glorious crown will unveil
To the master alone let belong all hail

Many soldiers have marched before
Many valiant stories told afore
Oh my heart be not afraid anymore
March ahead, home isn't far anymore

The Bleeding Heart

Theme :The Bleeding Heart

A flower torn apart
Its fragrance does depart
The enemy with a dart
Does tear apart the heart

With knees feeble as water
The storm is too bitter
Once again targets the archer
And with bow expresses his anger

Memories of the shade
As life's voyage we wade
With rough shore which we cant evade
Sorrows appear too strong a brigade

Oh shepherd Oh shepherd
Why hidest thyself like an angered
Thy sheep indeed have faltered
Please have mercy on us jestured

Who else have thy sheep?
To rescue us who will leap?
From hearts bleeding so deep
Please answer prayer of thy sheep

Sparrows!!

When i was small .... there used to be lots of sparrows near my home ... they used to be found everywhere around the home and also inside my home and in the nearyby small small trees.... they all used to fly together in the evenings ... watching common birds was a hobby to me in those childhood days .....

later the sparrow's began to decrease due to some strange sickness which affected them.... soon there were but 1-2 seen around ... later that also stopped ..... the crows began to grow at this period and were found everywhere (except inside of houses)...

days went by ... a new flyover came near my home ... this eliminated all the trees that were shelter to crows and food from the roadside also was not there ..... hence crows were all diminished from the locality....

the flyover brought with it many places and gaps suitable for sparrows .... once again they visit me inside my house ....


"Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father." - Mathew 10:29

Battery Full

Theme : Cup filled with sorrow



Once again in life
Its the taste of strife
Sometimes pain cuts worse than knife
Unheard sorrow now compasseth life

Once it was empty
Sorrow was seen scarcely
In the forest i did walk blindly
Suddenly all has become so beastly

The fond habitat no longer the same
All cares all life appear with no taste
Garments for once washed with tears n haste
Where am i, it seems am misplaced

Groping in gripping darkess alone
All that is heard is a false friendly tone
life for once in an unknown zone
For once i even feel i want to see my gravestone.

The cup is full
Events are'nt dull
To endure to the full
Just the thought seems so pain full

The final gift is a song
Oh to sing my heart doth long
Of joy and of victory all along
Finally i will reach where i belong

All along the way
When my boat does toss and sway
HE says 'Fear Not' i am there alway
He lives hence i can face today

Smile Away Tears

Theme: Smile away all tears



Smile away all tears
Its not that i have not fears
Life not always cares
When grief grips one rarely dares

The path seems to strike like a dart
When loved ones depart
Oh how feeble is the heart
Is all this some sort of sorrowful art

To stand still and gaze
As time departs like haze
And sets ignite grief ablaze
Leaves me again confused in the maze

Living is so dreadful in the place
Having lost such a familiar face
Leaving behind cherished memory with grace
One things that seems lacking is breathing space

Not all tastes are beautiful
Not all things we find are meaningful
But i have someone who is always helpful
The eternal purpose of existence seems colorful
