Through many situation I've faced in life I have learnt a forgiving heart goes a long way in healing hurts intentional or unintenional....we all have gone through situations where someone or the other let us down...the most painful when it comes from the people you'd never expect!! But holding that against someone in your heart sows only bitter seeds and eventually a bitter tree!!
Surely the Lord has shown us a very different way..May we find grace to be a people who forgive with all humility to be shining beacons for the Kingdom of God...
This poem i wrote describes what the Lord taught through some painful yet important lessons!!
If only we would let that self die..
Swallow that ego and His forgiveness lie....
If only we could let that fragrance of humility..
Become an odour that defines eternity..
If only we could let our brother win..
So that the world knows we're a kin..
Why do we need to prove to those along our road?
That we are somehow a better mould..
After all the struggle we have but the same goal..
Many times through life I've learnt..
We often forget that it was our Lord who had borne!!
It was coz' of His ultimate shame..
That now we are called by His Name..
Why do, O Christians, do we forget?
It's Jesus who loved when we first met!!
Why don't we then forgive and love like He said?
It's love that made Him go that far..
It's love that'll make His bride a star!!
Are you willing to make a start?
Oh! how He waits to see such a heart!!
Dear Jesus,help me to forgive and forget at all times no matter how hard it may seem on the outside..I know and trust You will give me the grace!! Amen..
Just wanted to share a poem that came from the depth of my experience of sorrows and regrets but oh what a blessed assurance that we have in Jesus!!
Thoughts led to all that I am..
I saw what makes all that I have..
Sometimes in life we mess the plan that He had,
Making only the enemy glad..
Why is it so hard to believe?
Even though we often receive;
A Word of correction, sometimes a cheer..
Why then not let Him our ships to steer?
I found my answers in my fears..
Many a time its coz' our insides..
Takes stands for both the sides..
How then can one anchor when there is a tide?
All along this heart had been listening to lies..
Forming all those unwanted ties..
I've learnt my lesson with some regret..
That even though we miss what we get..
Our Lord is ever willing to untangle the net...
Just keep onto Him your eyes set!!
Believe you me,coz' I know He'll handle the rest!!!
The human heart above all is very deceitful as the Bible very clearly says...we need to guard our hearts in this era of deception...Yes, Lord I want you to tkae full control of the reins of my heart...Don't let it go its way!! Amen..
It's been a while I have been thinking about 'what's next'...there's always a curiosity, an urge to know what the next bend in the road might bring..we expect something but reality's so different..Are dreams only meant to motivate or is it a part of you that is wanting to take shape.. A lot many times I just don't know why am doing something...so many questions but all I can say is I've always found the answers in JESUS...its amazing..I've tried it on my own but I end up frustrated and without an answer but just a little bit of me when it turns for heavenly help,its like heaven itself comes down just for 'one me'...its truly amazing........As I wait for a change,desperate sometimes..I know I'll always find YOU at the end....
One day all things will not be at rest
The bird will finally flee its nest
To the world to prove its best..
Though home won't be far from its chest..
Today she sits caged and free..
I know that's difficult to see...
Waiting for the dreams she wants to be..
Lost and muddled though at times it may be.
Trying to reach the heights there seems,
A fear,a doubt that ties the knee..
Help doesn't come from mountain peaks..
Yet there's the voice thats waiting to speak...
Seeking a heart that won't go weak;
When trials overwhelm,or temptaions seek..
Forget thou not the promises divine,
With steadfast faith it'll be your time;
Your struggle,your fight will soon be a sign,
That hope's never a dead-end with grace sublime...
-Susanna
There are times in which life's situations when it seems as though you are drowning in the valley of tears...Nothing seems to be going right..people seem fake and unreal and this whole world seems not fit to live in...The only thing that pulls me on is MY NEXT DOOR SAVIOUR...He's always there even when i'm feeling lonely...when I'm crying in the rain...He collects all those tears coz they are precious to Him...
"You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in Your bottle. You have recorded each one in Your book" (Psalm 56:8, NLT)
Life is a bitter-sweet road of reality and sometimes it may get a lil extra bitter but with Jesus by your side it will worth the experience in the end........GBU
This to one of my dearest sister in the Lord..even though I cannot see her these days or talk to her..Her life is an example of truly standing out for the Lord giving out her 100% for You....
This is for you my dearest Reeja...I miss u a lot but I know in His time all things will be beautiful!!!
I wrote this inspired by the life of my friend's faith.....
When you are alone,cut off from visible love..
Never despair coz He still cares from above..
Though you might think its so dark..
Just wait my dear,there'll be a spark..
Even though I'm far He is always near
Never must you let any fear
Come nigh with its strings..
In the name of the Lamb you will fling..
All oppression that the defeated may bring..
Very soon we will see a new thing..
A strange and wondrous move of God..
And holding hands we'll praise our Jesus Lord..
Forever He is above all gods..
Dear Lord...
I thankyou for my dearest sister who's standing for you..May she always know that you are near to her and that she is always dear to us ...Protect and stand by her dear Jesus..may your holy angels protect and keep her...In your time You will do a marvellous thing before our eyes..Amen..!!
For it is the will of God that all of mankind be saved...I happen to share an autorickshaw a long time back with an unknown lady and as I saw her restless face I began to write a poem which i completed only recently...Truly we as Christians need to be examples to the world that's dying...without hope,love,peace,joy and most importantly without a Saviour who can save them from eternal separation from the Creator who loves them with a love beyond understanding..
With heart that's overwhelmed I just wanna thank God for His amazing ways...These past weeks the Lord did the impossible in my life,in the life of my dear sister Reeja...All I can say is God is Almighty..no matter what people say I know my God reigns...All I can express is by this song I wrote..
Ch: Impossible is possible (2)
Coz Jehovah of the ages (2)
Is Jesus of today...
When we fix our eyes on you Father
We know we'll go a step further..
Invite you into our spaces..
Then we will see...
(chorus)-
We know that He is greater
No power on earth is stronger
To all who've gone before us
With us they'll see..
(chorus)-
When we face situations in our life that sems impossible...we need to fix our eyes on the Lord not on our situations...As it is said in His word..
Therefore,since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us,let us lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us,and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,(2)fixing our eyes on Jesus,the author and perfector of faith,who for the joy set before Him endured the cross,despising the shame,and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God...
Hebrews 12:1,2
So dear pilgrims...let us run with Jesus as our beginning and end...with our spiritual armour in place and being firm on our faith with the alertness to the schemes of the evil one...
May the grace of our Lord Jesus be with you....Amen...
