My Thoughts

                                              

                                                        Temptations of Jesus

Alone in the desert for forty days and nights

Travailing in prayer, Seeking Gods power

Tired, hungry and weak as the days went by

Yet strong in spirit and full of zeal

Ready to face the multitudes in need

And lo ! the tempter, amidst the Saviour !

“Son of God, turn these stones to bread ” ordered he

The bread of life could have easily compiled

After all He had the authority and power

Hush of silence in heaven awaiting his reply

Behold he faltered not!

The tempter took him to the highest point

“Son of God, throw yourself down”

The Almighty could have rushed toward the edge

At once a legion of angel would have descended there

Hush of silence in heaven awaiting his reply

Behold he faltered not!

“Bow down and worship me” the devil challenged Him

The creator, as of now, Son of man, a mystery

Thoughts of a man would have rushed in

Hush of silence in heaven awaiting his reply

Behold he faltered not!

Not once he faltered, ever.

Faith sways, shakes the promises

That God has ordained for you

Have faith…

That can shake mountains

Not which shakes the promises by the promised one

                                                           

                                               The Power of Forgiveness

The sun scorched the eastern land of Israel

Focusing its rays to a forlorn castle
Lighting up the woman's face in indecent act
Capturing the beauty of her melancholic eyes
Thunderous voices awakened her slumber
Murderous threats quickened to her heart
Footsteps of mighty men thronged the way inside 
Dragged the woman down to dust
Stormed by stones from all sides
Chased by the meanest of men
She ran aimlessly, bleeding all the way

Gasping for breath, her strength wasting away

There she fell at the feet of a young preacher

The creator lifted the poor soul with great compassion

She looked into His eyes..She found true love

She felt his touch..She was transformed

She knew in her heart…She found the rock of refuge

Voices from distance Stone her ! Stone her !

The master stooped down and wrote on the ground

Amazed and confused one by one left in quietness

Alone, love and forgiveness flooded her soul

Condemned to be chastised

Chastened by the author of Life !

New realization , renews thoughts

New understanding, builds love

New feelings, reviving the lost

New day, New Hope..

NAIL PIERCED HAND

When you where in pain this hand  soothed you

When you where  in trouble,this hand carried you

When you where very sick ,this hand healed you

When you where depressed ,this hand  comforted you

When you where in need,this hand provided for you

When you where alone,this hand  was with you

When you sinned ,this hand didn’t accuse  you

When you went away from him,this hand followed you

Never deny the power of this nail pierced hand.

WHY IS IT ?

Why is it we always don’t get what we desire?

Knowing fully that the Lord grants the desire of our hearts!!

Why is it people always are ready to  pin us down?

Though the lord has promised to give us the favor in the eyes of man!!

Why is it we often end up in failures ? 

Where as the Lord makes all our plans succeed!!

Why is it we are not blessed by the heavenly showers?

Even when the lord has assured our blessings in seasons!!

Why is it  we are left to carry our burdens alone?

Forgetting that the lord has sworn not to  leave us alone!!

Why is it  people look at you with contempt visualizing corrupt thoughts?

Remember, God Knows their thoughts even before they are formed!!

The questions may go on ….

Never fret  there’s always an answer!!!!!

O if I had….

O if I had the wings of  a bird

I would fly high

I would fly in  the sky

Touch the stars

And sing for eternity a happy song

O if I had the grin of a child

I would smile

I would smile at my problems

Touch the souls

And sing for eternity a happy song

O if I had the heart of the lord

I would love

I would love all my  folks

Reach their hearts

And sing for eternity a happy song

The Creator

Thoughtless cloud moving aimlessly in the sky

Frothy waves fighting its way beyond its boundary

Birds fluttering in the air disturbing the peaceful complacency

Mighty Mountains holding the depths of truth within

Erratic thoughts echoing the desires of the heart

Glades of forest uniting in green harmony

Drops of dew witnessing His new mercies every morning.

Myriads of colorful flowers radiating His love to the soul

Multitudes of people proclaiming his skillful workman ship

Every thing that I see, feel, hear reminds me of the wonderful creator

                      

                                              WOUNDED WORDS

Wounded words hurting your innermost feelings

Touching your emotional quotient

Raising it to a degree behind your imagination

Making you loose your self-control

Blossoming all the suppressed ill feelings

Showing the second face of a person

Gushing out the springs of anger and resentment

Sowing the seeds of hatred in your heart

Nourishing the seedling day by day

Negative side of human emotions

Give them all to JESUS

Shattered dreams, Wounded words, broken hearts

Give them all to JESUS

He will lift you to a higher ground

Along with his choices and richest blessings abound

Reality

Reality Unfolds the truth to the purest

Glittering to the brightest, unveiling naked facts

Piercing a sword to the heart

Bringing a realization to the mind

Clearing the doubts to the heart

Teaching a lesson to the soul

Reviving the strength of the spirit

Leading us to the ONE, Almighty Eternal LORD.

In the hands of the Potter

Taking away the unwanted

Moulding to his wishes

Designing to the Masters Ideas

Shaping to His own style

Bringing out a Vessel

Perfect for Masters use

Complete surrender

Need of the hour…

                                                      The Clock

Life is dragging like the rhythm of the old rusty clock

Seconds pass, minutes pass, the clock strikes

Clocks history, repeating itself!

Endless, tiring routine for the keeper of time

The attitude behind the melancholic ticks

Do realize, Oh ! the appraiser of time

At the tick of dawn, the first gleam appears

Enfolding a bright sunny wonderful day

Bringing smiles on the faces of millions

A small tick does this wonder

Lessons for life, a small spark does a beautiful miracle

Blooming your life to its beautiful perfection

Bitter Truths

Life offers its tasteful delicacies

Spreads its table of sorrows, hardships

Weariness, troubles and bitter truths

Tasting one of these leads to

The realization of eternity

Happened to taste a bowl of bitter truths

Bitter truths, makes you realize the reality

Pulls you out from the shadowy land

Places you before crystal clear waters

Where you understand yourself and others

Bitter truths hard to digest

Experience of it gains knowledge and understanding
