You are mine - poem


I am His. Song of songs:2:16


You are mine, says my mother
Filled with love; I am there written all over
Filled with surity; Filled with compassion
No greater love than this feeling of wantedness
That a mother gives; that feeling of assurance
No greater love than what Amma can give. 

You are mine, says my father
Filled with hardwork and toil; Drenched in sweat
Filled with unseen sacrifices
Rarely he expresses; but I know I'm in the center of his heart
Father's love difficult to engage. 
No greater love than what Appa has. 

You are mine, says my elder ones
Run to protect you when you are in trouble
Pick you up from danger, frail as they are
I am there for you! I will guide
I will show you the right path to walk; lest you get hurt
No greater love than Chechis and Chettans

You are mine says my beloved
In her youth; absolutely meaning it
Keeps you close to the bosom
You feel important, you feel significant
You would die for that love, isn't it? 
No greater love than what my love shares. 

You are mine, says my wife
And it is her heart all around it
My asset; my signet ring you are
The first time you get to hug each other
The world seemed to collapse
You are not two, but one. 

You are mine, I tell my children
Meaning every bit of it - like Eve dancing
My very own DNA, my attributes, good or bad
I can see my reflection in you
I am proud of you, no matter what
No greater love than a parent's to their children. 

Yet when you look to the core of these all
There are a lot of constraints and discrepancies
No amount of love is absolutely selfless, in the crux
There is self satisfaction or a peek to the future
A tinge. A tarnish if you look deep into it. 
You may die for them; you may be absolutely selfless. I agree. 

But nothing in comparison to Isa:43:1
I have called you by name. You are mine. 
Isa:49:16 I have written your name in the palms of my hands
Where blood flows from the wounds continually
To cleanse you of your sins and present you before the Father
Imputing my righteousness to you. 

I have forgiven everything you've done
Whether you have acknowledged it or not. 
Whether you feel sorry for it or not. 
You are now seated on the right side of the throne, along with me
All because I was mindful of you; while I was on the cross
I shed even the last drop of my blood, to redeem you. 

You are mine; and I cannot afford to lose you
To the dark and fiery dungeons of hell
I want you to be with me for eternity
You had a beginning; yet no end in my kingdom
I have plans to prosper you
Plans to bring you a future and hope. 

Being in my beloved's bosom, surpases all other loves
This Agape love is too good
That I can't believe it would be true
But the cross, the blood that drained out through it
The wounds, the scars are always afresh
It's always there to prove to me. 
To prove to the world around
And loudly proclaim to the gates of hell, especially
That, THIS BARD IS HIS VERY OWN.

Are you a cause of delight?

Delight to see how orderly you are and how firm your faith in Christ is. Col:2:5 How delightful it would be for your mentor to see you firm in faith. How satisfying it would be for him to see all his works and prayers all not gone in vain. That you are rooted in God. How painful it would be for your mentor to see you squandered the knowledge; to see you lose your first love. To see you frightened and worried and tossed in life's great waves. Not trusting in the Saviour who died for you. How joyous your Saviour would be to see you grow in faith; to desire for Him no matter what. To yearn for Him and to find time for Him. For He has already said, that is eternal life. How painful it would be for Him to see you wander away. To see you tossed in life's waves. Where He has asked to just trust in Him. But you are frantic. How peaceful is the faith filled life. A life tuned to God. A promised, abundant life. A life that is planned for you by the Creator God. How tumultuous...

Christ in me

Now as always. Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or death. Phil:1:20 As long as Christ lives in me; as long as I proclaim to be a child of God - it is Christ who will be exalted in me. Do not try to claim the praises to yourself. Weak as I am, I am able to do the things that I do through Christ who strengthens me. Secondly through my life, do I exalt Christ or do I defame Him? With selfish ambitions, through marred motives. This is a privilege as well as a warning. A responsibility as well as an admonition. An honour as well as a caution. It is a prayer as well. Because of the reality that I can do nothing out of my own but only through Christ who lives in me. And I would reflect Christ alone. I am unable to do with right motives and this helpless realisation would bring me to repentance humbling myself. That I will be equipped to give Him the glory. Why do I seek glory when I deserved nothing? When I did absolutely nothing? Image credit: https://eubieblog....

Bear

Bear with each other. Col:3:13 Bear with each other means, adjust with each other. There might be unbearable circumstances created by incorrigible people. People who keep doing the same irritating inveterate things again and again. Keep bearing. Keep forgiving. Forgiving whatever grievances you may have against one another (v:13b) And over all these virtues, put on love which binds them all together in perfect unity (v:14) But what if you are not able to bear? If you are not able to forgive? If you are unable to love? Ask God to help you bear them; help you forgive them; help you love them There is no point in remembering their flaws and maintaining a strained relation  Forgive. Choose to forgive. Tell yourself it is okay and deal with them lovingly. Pray for them Image credit: https://stock.adobe.com/search?k=hugging+teddy+bears

Lost connection

Col:2:19 He has lost connection with the Head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews grows as God causes it to grow. Have you lost connection with the Head? The most pertinent question that you need to ask yourself. A connection which started on love. A connection maintained by discipline. A connection most needed for you to grow well. Because the head directs. The head knows. When the liver decides to grow on its own, it is cancerous. When the liver decides to grow a cartilage in it, comparing itself with its fellow, it is called a hamartoma. When the liver stops it's function, it fails to detoxify and it is harmful for the entire body. The head will direct. The head knows. The liver submits to the head. The liver is answerable to the head. The liver is connected to the head and this connection is quintessential for the designed purpose of the liver. Are you carcinomatous / hamartomatous/ toxic organ which is disconnected to ...

Worthy

Phil:1:27 Whatever happens conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Live a life that is worthy of the precious gospel you have received. Live your life with love, with peace, with joy, with kindness, with humility - as you have received a treasure. Reflecting the One who called you. Why are you downcast O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God For I will yet praise Him My Saviour and my God. Ps:42:11 Worrying and fretting is not living a life worthy of the gospel. Where is the smile? Where is the excitement that you are expected to have because of the gospel.  He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Phil:1:6. He has got it in control. He has got the whole world in His hands. So when disturbing thoughts come (for they will come for sure), I will focus on His beautiful face, my Saviour who loved me and think of the ways He had led me this far. How from the fiery hell He has save...

Finishing line

Phil:3:13-14 Forgetting what is behind and straining towards what is ahead. I press on towards the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. What is past is past. You can't change it. But you can course correct. Brooding over your past mistakes; regretting over your past sins will never take you anywhere. When the Holy Spirit convinces you, correct your track and look forward and run in the right direction. Press on towards the goal. The goal is not to win the prize. But to finish the race well. Your job is to set your eyes on the finishing line and finish the race. It is God's job to give the prize. Why do athletes still run, even after they know somebody else has already won the prize. The goal is to finish the race, even if they have pulled a muscle or tore a ligament, their country has sent them to finish the race. They cannot say, if Bolt is there, there is no point in me contesting, and so I quit. Do not look at others as yo...

Be a man.

1 Cor:16:13 Be on the alert, stand firm in faith; act like men; be strong. Watch out. Look out. Be on the alert. Stand firm in faith. That is what men do. Be strong. Stay strong. Dwindling in your trust in God is what children do. Act like the man you are. Be a man. Stay strong on your faith. No matter what happens, hold fast to your God. That is mature faith. Do not let go to fear or anxiety. Be strong. Faith is trusting God, the Father despite what the circumstances look like. Knowing fully that He is in control. That He will take care and thats enough. He is enough. Image credit; https://www.freepik.com/premium-photo/hand-holding-fist-symbol-determination_139829368.htm
