New Beginnings

Have you been through the seasons of life?
The storms, the ride, the battles, the fights.
Suddenly,you find yourself in new ground
New surroundings,breathtaking view.
You feel the calmness, the breeze in the air
There is peace all about and so much beauty everywhere.
Is this what life is all about?
Peace after every storm.
Would still waters mean the same to you if you have never been in rough weather?
Would companionship/friendship mean the same to you if you never had to spend lonely hours.
Would prosperity and wealth mean the same to you if you never been wrongly denied what is rightously yours.
Would victory feel so sweet if you have never been in a bitter fight?
Would joy mean the same to you if you have never experienced the depths of pain?
What is Life my friend without these see-saw experiences,
We are like clay in the potter's hand,
A fresh new begining a fresh new start.

Glory and Beauty

When God set Job free from his Sickness and Afflictions

From his Bondages and Despair

He asked Him to Stand Up like a Man

And Deck Himself with Majesty and Excellency

And Array Himself with Glory and Beauty {Job 39:9-10}

With His Sores still Sore and with Trembling Hands

He Bid to Follow the Lords Commands

And lo Behold His Woes Were Gone

His friends Who Taunted Him Now came to Toe the Line

Glory and Majesty and Riches Had He

Beauty and Daughters and Lands A Plenty

For the Lord had Blessed Him Double for All His Trouble

I pray my Brother/ Sister will he not do the same for Thee!

The Lord’s Hand

I first got acquainted with the Lord’s when I was 17,
Had just accepted the Lord, immediately after, lost my dad.
Bad grades in college and a messed up family,
I just wanted to die.
Just when I was contemplating the great act of suicide,

Bright light flooded the room and I saw the Lord in all his glory for a brief second.
And my life has never been the same again.
Everyone in the family was deciding my life,
Marriage /career I seemed to have no choice
I just had to go in with the pool of voices.
But the Lord’s hand provided me the best in both cases
Nothing came to me too easy, for every blessing there was a fight
The battles increased with the years
And I spent many a day in tears
But I always knew the Lord will give me the victory.
I realized over the years just like grandfather did at the age of 94
‘Nee matharam madhee… (In Malayalam an Indian language)
Lord it’s only you I need.

The Battle Belongs to the Lord!

Are you in a battle?
Facing the enemy everyday
Your efforts seems so puny
And the enemy seems to be getting larger by the day.
You are holding on to your courage,
You are holding on to your faith,
The duration seems endless,
Your battle seems so pointless.
A million doubts rise within you,
Can I make it to the finish line?
And a voice within you claims
The battle is not yours its mine!
Try as hard as you can,
On your own strength you won’t go far,
Lean on me and I will make you
Wear the victor’s crown.
Because you need to understand
That the battle belongs to the Lord!

Be Still

When your world is upside down
When Everything just seems to be going wrong
Tensions everywhere
Anxiety fills the air
You don’t know what to do, you don’t what to say
Just listen to me
I will tell you what to do .
Be Still, Be Still
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Let go all into his care
There is no problem Too Big
God cannot solve it (Scott Wesley Brown)
There is no mountains Too Tall
He cannot move it
There is no storm To Dark
God cannot calm it.
There is no sorrow Too Deep
He cannot soothe it.
If He carried the weight of the world on His shoulder
I told my brother/sister He will carry you

Hold On

Hold On when your troubled, Hold On when your in despair, Hold On when your heart is aching, Hold On when your battle never seems to end  Hold On when your patience is falling, Hold On when your breakthrough is not coming. It’s so easy to give up and let go, It’s so easy to say its finished. It’s so easy to say “this is it’! It’s so easy to say I’m not in this game anymore. C’mon don’t you know , The battlefield is not for cowards. Even if its with his  last breath the winner keeps “HOLDING ON’ To his dreams and his aspirations. Even if its with the last thread of his strength He just keeps “HOLDING ON’! Even if he is battered and he is bruised, Even if his spirits are crushed And his vision blurred He will not let GO BECAUSE he knows what it takes To WIN….HIS ALL!! THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL!!! ‘quoting ABBA’ https://youtu.be/aMJis3jVmAA

Lazarus Come forth!!

There are times in your life
When you find yourself so bound to your situation
Bound to your past
Bound to your memories
Bound to your hurts
All is lost all is over you claim
You have lost your hope lost your dreams
Just then you hear a voice just like a man did 2000 years ago
"Lazarus come forth"
Just as you are, with all the strings ,with all the mess
I have bought a new world to your door
I want you to be ready to live again
I want you to be (quoting Mark Harris song)
Ready to live
Ready to breathe
Ready to take in everything
Ready to love
Ready to shine
Ready to live this life of yours
Ready to jump , ready to fly
For the second time
