7月2日 Thankyou - Ray BoltzI enjoyed this and I just wanted to share it with you...
Lyrics :
Thank You.... I dreamed I went to heaven And you were there with me We walked upon the streets of gold Beside the crystal sea We heard these angels singing Then someone called your name You turned and saw this young man And he was smiling as he came And he said friend you may not know me now And then he said, but wait You used to teach my Sunday School When I was only eight And every week you would say a prayer Before the class would start And one day when you said that prayer I asked Jesus in my heart CHORUS Thank you for giving to the Lord I am a life that was changed Thank you for giving to the Lord I am so glad you gave Then another man stood before you And said remember the time A missionary came to your church And his pictures made you cry You didn’t have much money But you gave it anyway Jesus took the gift you gave And that’s why I’m here today CHORUS (repeat) One by one they came Far as your eyes could see Each life somehow touched By your generosity Little things that you had done Sacrifices you made They were unnoticed on the earth In heaven now proclaimed And I know that up in heaven You’re not supposed to cry But I am almost sure There were tears in your eyes As Jesus took your hand And you stood before the Lord He said, my child look around you For great is your reward CHORUS (repeat) I am so glad you gave. 6月25日 Bed of roses?Yes, life truly is like a bed of roses. While you admire the beauty of the roses there is the occasional sting! But with time you learn to handle it with much more care. Moreover, for those of us who acknowledge Jesus as our hero, our friend, our Lord n Leader we know He makes it all worthwhile. I have my share of ups n downs in life, maybe even more than the normal amount
 as I sometimes feel. But I'd have it no other way because it gives me so much that I can talk to Him about. And while we (Jesus n me) have our cherished conversations I feel like a millionaire, theres so much to learn from Him and He makes it so wonderful that even in your pain there is a kind of sweetness, in your misery there is a kind of light, in your lonliness there is always a lingering sense of His presence... and that is the true joy of having Jesus as a personal friend. Its not only about healing or success or power or miracles or even visions or prophesy! It is about feeling special, feeling loved by God Himself. You and I are so precious to Him that he always has His eye on us.It's like being in love for the first time...minus the uncertianity of human companionship. When you share a deep and personal relationship with Jesus its always beautiful. Its like finding an oasis in a desert, or a most beautiful rose among a huge bush of thorns, or a friend in a room full of strangers. Jesus did not promise us a necessarily good / easy life here on earth but He said He'd never leave our side and He always keeps his word.
God delights in seeing us smile.....so keep smiling its the best way to please God.
6月15日 My worldSometimes life gets you down
You try to smile, but it fades into a frown
You dont fit in, maybe it doesnt matter
You belong to a different world, appart from all the clutter
A world where understanding matters more than misunderstanding
And differences only mean uniqueness
Where love and trust mean more than social status
And spreading peace and love are more fun than hot gossip!
Where truth means to be yourself without the fear of rejection
And happiness lies in bringing a smile to those in dejection
Where to serve is to entertain
And sinfulness is a real pain!
All are welcome
But few are aware
They judge you by your cover
So they may never discover
The beautiful world that you are part of
The love that you wish to share
The listening ear you can offer
And the time you are willing to spare....
Be the best you can be, be yourself!
5月20日 Specially For UU r beautiful in the eyes of ur maker
U r special enough to be heard each time
U r so important, how can u not know it?
This world was made just for u,
It was no accident.
U were specially made and formed to be u
Someone up there dotes on u
Someone up there sheds a tear when ur heart aches
Longs to help u and mend ur heart breaks!
But He wont intrude
Cuz that would be rude
He'll answer if u call
When u ask u will have all
He'll grant all ur needs
And bless all ur deeds
Life will be worth living with Him by ur side
Just give it a lil time
For a relationship to be born
And all ur troubles from u will be torn
Yes, Jesus is the only key to a beautiful life...
No one could ever care for u the way He does...
7月28日 True Christian WitnessThose of us who claim to be close to God, to know Him or to be His followers have a great responsibility on our shoulders. How we behave and conduct ourselves on this earth (even behind closed doors) affects our entire profession of faith. Showing one face in public while hiding our true selves behind a mask, save for those who know us all our life is not going to take us anywhere. I know some people who claim to be close to God but live a dual life. I too have done it in the past, I am making a great deal of effort to rid myself of still inherent traces of this deceptive manner of living which is far from being a trait of Godliness and more like the trait of the great deceiver the Devil himself. But as I look around me I see that some are not even aware of this kind of duality in their lives! They don’t realize that this brings more of harm done to those we must witness to rather than helping even our own spiritual growth. We must learn to live Christ’s teachings interiorly before we aspire to teach or preach to those around us. Our greatest desire should be to become as docile as clay in the hands of our creator and then only can we co-operate with Him in shaping the lives of others. This kind of docility can be attained only when one becomes first a good student. A student understands that he is weak and must be taught, he does not feel qualified to change the world with just a trickle of enlightenment that the haughty assume to be a flood of knowledge. The student is aware that this is only his admission into the school and if he must harbor dreams of being a successful teacher some day he must first be an excellent learner himself (God provides great graces to those who are willing to humble themselves under His giudance, one does not have to be highly intelligent, humility is the key factor that opens the floodgates of wisdom). Then when he is ready enough he will be called! How many of us want to be fortnight teachers, unwilling to be students first and thus due to our own folly we lead many downhill if not astray, we discourage in the long run when our job is to encourage and uplift. A good student is one who is tested and tried often along his journey to becoming a well qualified representative of whatever he is training in. He knows well his strenghts and shortcomings he does not deny his failures but works on them that they may be overcome. Through all this training he becomes a sensitive, compassionate and wise teacher, he is able to deal with a vast expanse of things. His students respect him, look up to him and idealise him because he understands them, their problems and difficulties and is also able to provide them with much insight at how to overcome these hurdles, because he has been through it all himself. The world is in desperate need of such people. Today the world lacks inspiration, the inspiration to love, to care for, to be good and kind and considerate. Only someone who is inspired from deep within, whose life and actions, words and deeds are all compatible with his christian beliefs can inspire the world; the rest will come and go and have no effect. And what better inspiration than the life of Jesus himself. Come then, let us seek Him, find Him, love Him, draw from Him, follow Him and not do so alone but with a trail of people whose lives we have touched by doing what pleases Him most (loving God and neighbour)....This and only this is true christian witness. 5月21日 House of Prayer or hideout for thieves?Jesus went into the temple and drove out all those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money-changers and the stools of those who sold pigeons, and said to them, "It is written in the scriptures that God said, 'My Temple will be called a house of prayer.' But you are making it a hideout for thieves!" - Matt21:12-13.
Now Jesus is not really against buying and selling. But in this case He sees that people had made the temple a place for business dealings and money making rather than respecting the sanctity of the place as it was meant to be a house of prayer, a dwelling for Gods presence. If we apply this passage of scripture to our own lives we find a lot of similarity.
Heres how: Every baptised Christian is a temple of the Holy Spirit. But when the guardians of the temple (ourselves) neglect this fact and adopt worldly standards we become instead a hideout for thieves. The thieves that hide therein are our own evil and selfish desires. We begin to do everything with a motive of self-gain, just like buying and selling. Even towards God we develop a relationship of bargain and business-like dealing. Nothing that we give, be it love, friendship, help to a needy neighbour, etc is ever done with purity of intention.
But when you invite Jesus into your heart and aspire to live by His standards as opposed to those set by the world, He will drive out the thieves and make it a house of prayer, a holy dwelling and He Himself along with God the Father and the Holy Spirit will dwell there.
Where God Himself dwells there is no place for evil or impurity. Your heart will become a beacon of light showing others the way, your words will be a refreshing breeze to the wearied soul, your mind will be a vessel of wisdom and understanding, your countanence shall shine with a joyful fervour exuding a charm beyond this world. Your whole being will be like a lamp that shines through the darkness. Be blessed then and make your choice...What will it be A House of Prayer or a Hideout for Thieves? 8月13日 Here Beside meWhen I took my first steps
Uttered my first babble
Said the very first word ever to come from my lips....
U were there watching over me...
Sheilding every fall,
Hearing every call,
Wiping every tear,
Calming every fear...
Even if my mother forgets me
I know you never will
You never have...
Ever since I've known you
You've never failed me
How often I waver
How often I stumble
But U are always there
Watching over me....
Sheilding every fall,
Hearing every call,
Wiping every tear,
Calming every fear... Throughout life.....Yes through it all
You have stood by me
Been there for me
through think and thin
And I know you'll always be........
Sheilding every fall,
Hearing every call,
Wiping every tear,
Calming every fear...Here beside me
You are more than a mother to me
More than any friend can be
More than Life itself
You are everything I need
You are my God, without you I cannot be. 3月31日 Hello everyoneHi friends,
Im back again. Been away for a while due to my pregnancy and the new addition to our family, a healthy beautiful baby girl - born on the 28th of Feb 2007. As soon as I find the time I'll post my latest testimony and some of my Baby's pics. Do keep us in your prayers. Love and blessings to everyone. May His love fill your soul.
God bless. 10月11日 The day I met my AngelIt was an early morning in July, (2006). I was woken up for some reason and since I could not go back to sleep I began to say a short prayer in my mind. There was a slight anxiety about the unknown annoying me so I decided to pray. It was kinda my adaptation of the Divine Mercy Chaplet and also meditating on the words of Psalm 91. I was praying for protection regarding my newly discovered pregnancy (my unborn baby’s health) and myself. I appealed to the mercy of God to protect me and the child through out this beautiful experience especially from any mistakes that I might make myself, since I had no knowledge of what was ok and wasn’t at such a time. I believed He wouldn’t let me down. Before I knew it I had already fallen asleep. I began to dream, well, if that’s what I might call it! And I saw myself in a situation that I could not get out of. Innumerable little things were rushing towards me like a swarm of ants and I see myself lay helpless on the floor, unable to even call for help audibly, my Mum and a little “unknown girl” are near by but they do not hear me calling. I was sad in my heart for a moment as I thought what was about to happen but my sadness didn’t last long; as if in an instant a beautiful glowing white figure appeared before my eyes. Lifting me up in its arms with such ease and gentle care it bails me out of my helplessness. And at once I know that this is my Angel…when I say ‘my Angel’ I mean my Guardian Angel. And how do I know this? My heart just knew it and there is no doubt about that. I can hardly express in words the beauty of this wonderful creature that I beheld, this had been the second time that I had the privilege of seeing an Angel in what I believe to be a dream but I physically and mentally am quite aware that it is something more than that and quite beyond any explanation I can account for. Both times the physical appearance was exactly the same. That same Glowing White translucent like being that looks so much like us humans but far more beautiful and majestic. I was almost mystified as I secretly thought how much more awe inspiring it would be to see God Himself in all His Glory, but that I am not worthy of. Moreover I felt safe and was awoken as soon as the dream ceased to be; the anxiety was all gone and in my heart I knew God had shown me that He was there for me and I had nothing to fear or be anxious about. I smiled to myself and went back to sleep thanking Him for responding to my concern so promptly.
There was a reason for all this; it was just to provide me with a simple assurance that I could hold on to: that my Father in Heaven was watching over me. And so I didn’t need to feel alone or helpless at any time regardless of the circumstances but just trust Him, cuz even if those around me cannot come to my rescue at once He surely will and that is a promise I believe in 100%. Your Father in Heaven loves you infinitely never fear to approach Him. 7月14日 Tribute to Victims of the Mumbai Blasts.Three days have passed since the Mumbai blasts. Though some suffered priceless losses ( like family or friends) it would not be wrong to say that every Mumbai dweller or probably even every citizen of India has lost something ( peace of mind and a sense of security) in the aftermath of that fateful day. While we who have suffered the losses feel pain and anger towards the whole incident and those responsible. I wonder what the heartless cowards feel who probably thought they were brave and powerful in doing what they did?!! Brave? Powerful???? Gladly, they are wrong! There is not a shred of bravery or power in such acts.
It is rather the people of Mumbai who acted bravely in the face of terror, and displayed the power in being united in the face of terror. If the miscreants think they have succeded (whatever they mean by it), they are so wrong...they failed but it is the people of Mumbai who have come out stronger and braver and more powerful in all this.
Bravery is what we saw when most of Mumbai returned to work and daily routines the very next day, even if it meant to board the same trains that plyed through those same dreadfull routes on the western line. Yes there may have been fear and there may have been insecurity but every brave person has these feelings rushing through their mind at some point.
Power is what showed silently through the prayers and incessant searches of people who feared the safety of loved ones, and managed to find them inspite of inadequate information and jammed phone lines. And also through the people who found the strength to walk it home even if it meant walking for hours just to get home and be with the family. Power showed itself in the city's people coming together as one big family to help even strangers in need. Truly Mumbai was Brave and Powerful on the 11th of July '06. Those who came to disfigure our city only ended up making her more beautiful (they are far from understanding this) as she caurageously rose up amidst her wounds and bruises. Hats of to Mumbai and all its people. In all this I must say, not a single life lost will be one that was wasted, for their blood will seek the justice of God and it will come. While sadly those who commit such acts are already "a wasted life" just wish they would change for the better.
As for terrorism, it is nothing but cowardice. Absolutely! what else does one call it? Pointing guns at and planting bombs in hiding to inflict harm on innocent, defenceless people? This is the work of deluded people and organizations that should rethink their names and call theselves "World Organization of Cowards and Inhuman behaviour." That is all the tile they will ever earn or deserve. God will judge them and that they cannot escape! Meanwhile let law and order and the government do its bit and may God help them.
7月10日 For a generation that likes the facts, how about this one?What is it that this world needs today?
While it moans and groans
And shakes at its core
Not peace, not freedom
Nor riches or wealth
The world needs selflessness
And love to heal its wounds
Not Leaders who speak fine words
that decieve while hiding the truth
But leaders who are willing to die
for the people whose trust they claim
Leaders who are willing to serve
and not live off the yokes
they put on the shoulders of poor men
Not weapons of mass destruction
Or strategies of war
but hearts that are true and pure
For none of our weapons can save us
from what the world is about to behold
Not Armies of defence
And great tactics of war
Nor vast scientific research
That promise a better living standard
Not new means of pleasure
At the cost of innocent lives
"I shall enjoy, even if I have to kill for it"
Thats an attitude that stinks!!!!
Great lengths are taken
To encourage and fulfill our selfish needs
Amazing inventions and innovations
That amount to nothing in the end
Man has become so proud of his
Discoveries and inventions
We think we know it all
Enough to keep us alive forever
Proud enough to think we can fool death
And even run ahead of time!
But where are our inventions and our
Intelligence when disaster strikes???
Can we fight the rising wrath of the sea?
Or the strength of the raging winds?
Or the power of the lightning that strikes in seconds?
They conspire against us
To show us that all our strength and intelligence
Amounts to nothing
And all we do is stand and watch in awe
What they leave behind is the true picture,
Helplessness and suffering
That is all our selfishness will earn for us.
How we busy ourselves wasting our wealth
On how to destroy and conquer
Rather that how to provide for one and all
We fail to see those who die hungry on our streets.
And mother earth will continue to teach us,
Her deviant and selfish children untill we learn to submit
To the authority and supremacy of God our Father
Wish we were only willing to learn! 5月2日 Love makes it easierDo you imagine it was easy
to be flogged for your sake or mine
To be nailed to a cross
And shed blood like wine?
If it was easy
Why would He ask the Father
To let it be taken away?
Knowing what He would suffer
He decided to Obey.
He sweated drops of blood as He
saw what was to come
Yet His words in Love to the Father rose
"Not mine but Thy Will be done."
Only because love made it easy that day
Love gave Him the power to suffer that pain
The love He has for us didn't stop Him from the fact
That some of us ignore Him and make His sacrifice for us in vain.
So let us obey His commandments complled only by Love
Let us treasure the sacraments and the words He spoke
Complled only by love...
Let us do good and not harm
Even to those who do not mean us well
Motivated by love alone
For love makes it easier
Love makes one strong
So make love your reason
To do right instead of wrong.
God bless. 3月24日 Funny yet Miraculous!!!Hey Pals got something to share with ya...
Yesterday I had an experience as funny as the ads where in a girl is busy admiring some hunk while walking on the pavement and she actuallly rams into some tree or street lamp on account of her distraction!!! I always find such things hillarious and now even more cuz it happened to me not the same way but kinda.
Here's what happened: I'd been to the bank and as I went about my work it was time for the bank to close. So the shutter was kept half open outside the main entrance/exit for people to leave. When my work was done I thanked everybody and walked right out in a hurry...I turned to say bye to a neighbour as I pushed open the door to walk out. The security guard told me about the shutter so I did bend a little but not enough and crrrashhhhh!!!!! I walked right into it head -on!!!
 There was a loud bang and I was totally embarrased, all I could do was laugh at myself and this silly incident. I didn't even turn back to look at the surely awe stircken face of the security guard. I dunno how I'm going to go back in there anytime soon  This was the funny part. (You may laugh cuz I certianly couldn't contain myself)Heres the miracle part:
Now, I'd banged into it pretty hard and so could have sustained a cut on the top of my head but to my surprise, NOTHING happened! It didn't even swell!! It did hurt for a few seconds but then it was as if I didn't bang into anything. I was amazed and kept checking at the top of my head several times to feel a bump or something but it was and still is absolutely fine! I owe this to God. I never leave my house without a prayer and I know He protected me. Thankyou Lord.
 He who protects in little things shall surely protect in greater things. Keep trusting, God bless. 3月9日 Completely Forgiven!!!I made a mistake and oh I was so sad... I knew I had hurt the one person who loved me the most So I condemned myself and complained I was bad I thought I was doomed and forever lost! But I was wrong and oh so glad His love had never diminished as I thought, silly me!! He loved me just as He always had My sorrow vanished and I felt free For though I had hurt Him Jesus readily and lovingly forgave me. Praise God
PS: I wrote this poem based on a very real experience that has been troubling me for over a month now. With this my faith in God has increased all the more. God is forgiving yes He is, He is kind and Compassionate, He is ever Merciful. Trust Him, He will never let you down. God bless also read....LINK 2月24日 SimplicityThe littlest things offered to God out of love are great in His eyes
For we do not see as He sees
We do not love as He loves
His joy is a childlike trust
He takes pride in all His masterpieces
A simple heart makes Him smile
A humble soul makes Him melt....
So just love Him in ur simplicity  2月8日 For those who believe...We' got time for the T.V.
We' got time for our friends,
We' got time for the movies
and time to borrow and lend
We' got time to just be idle
and time to whistle a tune
We' got time to grumble and whine,
To admire the stars and the moon!
We' got time to compose poetry
and sing odes to the one we love,
We got time to hear the birds sing
and time for games n fun!
We got time to make our selves busy with all the work we can do
But no time for the One who made us,
And gave us the time we use for all that we love to do.
So if you believe in the Creator who spent love and time on you,
To make you special and bless you with all that you admire
Spend a little time each day to love Him back it will be good for you.
God bless...... 1月15日 Bright Future!!!Hey There All my Pals,
Just wanna say that I've had a great time in the year gone by....2005 (Ow it rhymes!!! lol)
I have been hurt and been healed,
I've been bruised and the scars have turned to blossoms!
I've been humiliated and it's teaching me humility.
I've been frustrated and it's teaching me perseverance and paitence.
I've been happy and it's teaching me to be thankful.
I've been lonely and it's teaching me to value people.
I've been sad and it's teaching me to enjoy the freshness of a new smile.
I've been deppressed and I learnt to fight it.
I've been dissapointed and it's teaching me to not expect too much -
from myself and others!
I've made mistakes and I hope I'll learn not to be hasty in the future.
I've been afraid and I realised my fears were weaker than me cuz I overcame them!
I've been judged unjustly and it's taught me to be considerate, compassionate and forgiving.
I've lost and gained and I've learnt that Life maintains a balance.
I've felt loved, unloved, wanted and unwanted and I learnt that there is no love like the love that God has for His children cuz He always wants us and always loves us unconditionally!
Jesus I love you!
Praise God! 1月3日 Wishing you a Happy New Year!Wishing all my friends a very Happy and Blessed new Year...
This New year...
May you find friendship that'll last you a lifetime.
And love that'll elevate your soul.
May you find the Light that'll show your true potential,
And reveal the goodness in you.
May you come through all your tests with flying colors,
And may you develop wings to fly.
May you soar above the chaos and confusion of this world
And lead others with you...on paths of righteousness.
God bless ya all.
 12月26日 Seasons GreetingsHope You've all Had a Beautiful Christmas week...May our dear Lord Jesus bless you. 11月29日 Beauty of a womanThe Beauty of a woman lies in her heart.
And modesty enhances her charm.
Such a woman is decency and grace personified.
She knows it is important to be modest, as it is important to dress well.
Revealing clothes reveal an obsessive need for attention.
There is nothing wrong with seeking attention; as human beings we r social and we need each other but it is shocking, the extent to which some can drop!!!
Just as easily as the necklines drop and the hemlines rise!!!
A woman who doesn't use her body to gain attention is confident and sure of herself.
She knows she is beautiful anyway and it shows.
Everybody is naturally awed by her grace and simplicity.
Neither age nor sickness can harm the undying charm she exudes.
There are examples of respectable women around, they are modest yet so beautiful even now and I admire them...Gayatri Devi, Waheeda Rehman.
Every woman is gifted with a beautiful body, it is not meant to be flaunted around like a showpiece!
Only a woman who truly respects herself enough will understand that.
I have always wondered, is it not enough that a woman charms with her beautiful face / smile / eyes.
Tall, short, dark or fair - every woman is beautiful when she has that spark of kindness in her smile.
No fairness cream can provide that.
No amount of make-up can give her the beauty that shines through her eyes when her heart is warm and always willing to love and share.
Does the beauty of a woman get enhanced when she wears revelaing clothes?
No doubt she gets attention but not because she looks beautiful! Du-uh, obviously it's the necklines and the hemlines that are getting all the attention!
Modest women who know how to dress well are the most priveledged, they get noticed for the right reasons. Hats off to such women. They are such a refreshing sight!
Thanks to women in Bollywood who deliver whatever their directors tell them, even "little boys" walking down the streets n alleys of Mumbai are corrupt, it is evident in the way they pass comments and the way they behave.
I wonder what we have to look forward to in the next generation. Already we dont have less crimes committed against women.
So I am making an appeal to women in India, don't get influenced by the media and the Bollywood "beauties"!
If we do, soon there will be no safety left in Mumbai for girls and women.
Yes it is our body and our responsibility to not use it to tempt the minds of crazed men!
And we must raise our voices against indecency!
If we don't...
Soon women will be reduced to mere Barbie Doll plastic showpieces meant too make men swoon and swear at the drop of a hat!! Thanks to the media and the powerfull women in society who dont understant the true meaning of Womens Liberation!
Does a womens freedom mean that she should be allowed to be immoral and immodest?
This kind of freedom does not liberate it destroys!
It destroys innocence. It brings out the wild and destructive side of certian men. Those who cannot satisfy their lust on account of the posters and visuals they see in cinema and on T.V. set out to satisfy themselves by preying on innocent children and young girls! Please, lets put an end to this. |
