The Touch

Alone she stood,
Life had made her stand alone, unwanted, rejected and Oh so lonely!
Suffering with a disease which branded her dirty,
Because it was written in the Holy book Leviticus chapter 15.
Whoever touches her will be considered unclean.
Unloved and untouched for twelve long years,
She was left alone rejected, ridiculed by society.
One day something happened that changed her world,
The crowd shouted the Healer will be passing by,
She was all excited she had heard so much about Him.
But someone shouted obviously she couldn’t come as she was the untouchable one!
Unable to bear further humiliation she wept to her God in total brokenness,
The last straw of hope was now gone.
What could she now do when there is nothing that could be done?
Suddenly an idea struck her why she couldn’t hold the hem of His gown,
Shrugging off the robes of self pity and despair,
She put on the armor of courage and a determination in her stride.
“I am going to receive my miracle even if it’s going to cost me my life”! She said,
The untouchable made her way squeezing her body through the masses,
She tried to reach the Healer, she fell, and crawling on her knees,
She just about managed to touch His gown.
Instantly the power left Him and healed her tired body.
When suddenly there was a silence,
She realized she was caught and had to tell everybody.
The Healer came towards her lifted her by the hand,
Love flowed into her soul and all her hurt and pain was gone.
For you see it was not just her body that was bleeding for twelve years,
Her heart was hurt from the bruises of rejection!
All it took was for her to reach out with all her strength for the THE TOUCH,
From, the Master , the Healer, JESUS was His name.

Those Broken Pieces

Those Broken Pieces stood,
Head rooted to the ground,
Shame, guilt, despair
Was their life now never going to turn around?
With no answers or shoulders to cry on,
They looked at the only One
Who held no barriers or filters,
And He said to the broken hearts
Come hither my son, my daughter,
You are safe in My arms!
From that day forth,
They clung on
To the Master, the Holy One,
And slowly or slowly,
Their hearts He had won.
Washed, cleansed and draped,
In the garments of His praise,
They worshiped the King of Kings
And the Lord of Lords,
Jesus was His name,
And He lifted them up from their graves,
A pit of miry clay,
And stood them up to be seen,
On the mountain tops of Zion.
He raised them up for His glory,
They were no longer broken pieces,
But beautiful angels shining in His glory!!!

Cutting Through Those Bars Of Iron

Thrilled I was almost reaching the shores of victory.
Just then a huge mountain appeared from nowhere and stood right in front of me.
I tried from every angle to push it away,
But nothing could budge its presence it seemed bent to stay.
I reached the point where all hope was gone
This far for nothing, my heart seem to say.
I seethed in anger, no way I am giving up
No devil no you just cannot defeat me!
I sought the Lord with all my heart,
Knowing He is my only answer for a way out.
He made me use his weapon the sword the word of god
He brought me to the verse in Isaiah 45:2 NIV
And made me repeat it to the mountain before me,
It read “I will go before you
And will level the mountains[a];
I will break down gates of bronze
And cut through bars of iron.
I will give you hidden treasures,
riches stored in secret places,
so that you may know that I am the LORD”
Before my very eyes the mountains melted and shredded to the ground.
And My God showed me once again He is the true living miracle working GOD.

While I Was Waiting

While I was waiting

Frustration filled my soul,

Despair filled my heart,

Will my breakthrough never happen?

My mind never ceased to ask.

I went through Seasons and Cycles,

Of pain, strain and blame.

Till I realized it was all in vain,

God will anyway carry out what he has promised,

Nobody can take away what he has purposed.

I will just have to wait so very patiently,

Rejoicing in my spirit for that day of victory!

Tears of the Soul

When your heart is broken and the tears never cease to fall,
When the loss is so huge that it tears you apart,
When your trust is betrayed and hope vanished for good,
You will look at your redeemer and say why or why
Couldn’t you have shielded me from all this pain?

You have asked me to forget what lies behind and focus on what lies ahead,
Yet when I close my eyes I see the live pictures of those that I dread,
Just a slightest recalling of the past brings so much of pain
I ask you O God, once again were all my experiences with these people were in vain?

Soul of my soul I forgot once again
That friendship or relationship is not what it used to be.
There is only a bargain in the end of what is there for me

The ones you believed in let you down so badly,
It’s not about you, its all about them..
You were just an instrument to get what they wanted,
Now that they are done they don't need you.
Move on with your life and be happy too
Are the meaningless words they say to you...

Tears of my soul where are you
You need to understand it’s very difficult to find someone who is true.
So cling to the Savior He is all you need,
Ask Him to hold you till you heal.
And lead you to people who will like you for being you.

The Raindrops of the Heart

Busy going about her work,
A few drops of rain touched her heart.
Feeling tickled and highly amused, she enjoyed the refreshment it brought,
Watching the raindrop rolling away, she felt a sudden loss.
OH No! She thought, is there no way,
To keep those tiny drops from flowing out of her heart.
Raindrops cannot stay, you silly, she told herself that day.
It's just that it makes life so beautiful that you would wish it would stay.
Returning back to her work, she forgot about the drops,
Till the sound of pitter-patter raindrops on her windowsill,
Made her recall, the raindrops in her heart,
She smiled amused so that's what it was all about,
The little raindrops of the heart!

THE GREAT RIGHT HAND

I stood staring vacantly into space,
Felt like Abraham when he was asked to return his son.
Dream of my dreams the vision of my yesteryear,
Was lying now as at the altar, as a dead lamb.
Breathe life unto those dreams O God!
Bring to pass those promises from Your word.
Support, my spirit with Your GREAT RIGHT HAND,
Uphold my weak frame till Your will is done...
Give me the strength and the cheerfulness
To trust You to take me to my DESTINY!
In Your mysterious and unfathomable ways,
You will lead me and teach me to obey,
To trust in You through the rugged wilderness,
And valleys of despair.
With Goliaths and Nebuchadnezzar wandering everywhere,
Yet the warrior within me says
Lead me on O Lord to the Promised Land,
Together, we will rejoice in our VICTORY!
