Hitherto has the Lord led us through a spar Safe and secure inspite of many a scar A shield in battle when the enemy rages from near or far A tower of defense when we tire in despair He is the banner under which I fight life's war.

WHEN LIFE SEEMS UNFAIR – the farsightedness of God and the nearsightedness of man
We often don't understand or accept our lot in life, because we don't see our lives in the context of God's plan for all of humanity. We don't comprehend the background of the stage in which the drama of our life is being played out. We don't see the arena in which we live our lives nor do we realize the chain of things in which our lives play their part.
TREES
Hands raised in tender supplication, You reach out to the clear heavens, Drawing down the droplets of dew and rain, You soak the dryness out of the ground Feet rooted in firm foundation, You stretch out to the dark depths, Sucking up the moisture flowing down below, You stand as sentinel between earth and sky … Continue reading TREES
NOT & BUT
Not objects of wrath But targets of mercy Not orphans abandoned But heirs salvaged Not hated even a moment But loved forever eternally Not sinners rejected summarily But saints accepted unconditionally Not branded as accursed But sealed as truly blessed Not people destined for hell But inheritors waiting for total redemption!

TRIM ME O LORD!
Circumcise my heart, O Lord And retrieve me with Your love, Peel back the layers of hardness, Vulcanized in the process of the ages of my years. Expose to the light the overshadowing of its darkness, Cause it to throb afresh with the flow of abundant life. Scrape off the scabs of a toil that’s … Continue reading TRIM ME O LORD!
KING OR KNAVE OF HEARTS?
Do you realize that He is working for the world's salvation, While you pray for His wrath on whom He has compassion! Do you still pray for revenge and retaliation, While He wants you to bridge the gap in reconciliation!
BARRISTER OF HEAVEN
He is the true and righteous advocate, Who is ever ready to petition and defend with grace, He's never made even a single error or mistake, Who is yet to give up on anyone as hopeless case!
ONE & ONLY
My God is incomparable in true love, He can never really reject or disapprove, Make no mistake for He is the gentle dove, Who is like Him on earth and in heaven above!
TONGUE ON FIRE
The tongue is a fire the good book does claim, Lighting the course of nature with hell's own flame, A world of evil that seeks to corrupt and maim, The one who can tame it has nary a blame! Small though it is, it boasts so great, Perfect is the one who uses it not … Continue reading TONGUE ON FIRE
