Free - a short poem

Give as freely as you received

Matt:10:8

Grace is free: but not so cheap

But it has been lavished upon you

How well do you give grace to others?

He has loved us with an everlasting love

Not according to your good deeds.

How much do I love the undeserving ones?

Forgiven to the core. Given a clean chit.

How pathetic that unforgiveness rules you

Bitterness in your heart ebbs you away.

Peace has been granted to you. His peace.

That passeth all human understanding.

How little a peacemaker am I?

Abounding limitless joy has been poured out.

Do I spread joy? Are you that source of joy?

If freely received - you should freely give.

Amazed - Poem

Matt:8:9 Does your faith amaze Him or disappoint Him? I have never ever seen faith like this - Will He tell this about you? I have never ever seen love like this? I have never ever seen joy like this? How do you amaze Him? The All Knowing; The Creator God was amazed What is it that amazes Him in you; dear one? Your rebellion? Your inconsistency? Your disobedience? How much should I put up with you, bard? Time to eat solid food. Time to provide too Whilst you are still drinking; still being fed. What amazes Him in you dear one? Your faithlessness or your unfaithfulness? Your lack of love to Him? Your lack of indignation to things which He hates? Lord, Your grace; it amazes me. Rebellious as I was. Enemy as I was. Sinner as I am. You still love me. What is there that you are mindful of me? That i would be even considered. Even more. You made me your child. Grateful as I am. Kn...

Worry

Not to worry about everyday life. Matt:6:25 6 times Jesus mentions the word 'worry' in Matt:6:25-34 Which means He wants to stress on the fact that worrying is utter foolishness and strikingly useless. If you worry; it is a matter of mistrusting your Father in heaven. That He will take care isn't a reality for you. Logically speaking, by worrying you cannot solve or alleviate your problem. Only affects your mental and emotional status. But whereas by trusting, you are more at peace as you realize that you are in the palm of His hands and for sure, He is Jehovah Jireh and He will not leave you or forsake you.

Founded

Founded on a rock Matt:7:25 Where is your life founded on? Rock or sand? Unless you know the word of God; unless you live according to it, when storms and wind hit you straight on your face, you will fall for sure. And that too, great would be that fall. In this world you will have much trouble, and when troubles strike you hard, this is how you stay strong. Stay rooted in the truths of the Word of God. Make your foundations right. Not just a mere knowledge, not just an acquaintance. But living it out. This Christmas, let's make our foundations deep and strong. Let us know Him more. Let us live Him more.

Balanced equation

Everyone who acknowledges me publicly, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But everyone who denies me here on earth, I will also deny before my Father in heaven. Matt:10:32-33 The equation is very simple. If you acknowledge that you follow Jesus publicly here on earth; He will also acknowledged you before the Father in Heaven. The devil might lodge a claim that you are his. But the moment the Son of God acknowledges you, His righteousness, the Father sees in you and you are justified. But if you have denied Him in this earth. He will also deny you. Whether you accept it or not. This is the truth. Rom:10:9 If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

Unconventional route

When Jesus does miracles and blessings in our lives, we need Him. But when He does it in a different way, when He does it in a way in which it costs us, do we still need Him? Matt:8:34. The entire town came out to meet Jesus, but begged Him to go away and leave them alone. Because they suffered financial loss. There, sitting before them were two men who have just been delivered from a legion of evil spirits. The hand of God is quiet obvious. But financial loss is what they blame Him with. If God asks you to take unconventional routes, do you become uncomfortable? Routes which cost you, your time, your finances, your privacy, your reputation and name? What is more important to you determines what you do. What other things you forsake. We are no less than the Gaderenes who closed their eyes to the miracle in front of their eyes, yet clinging on to the loss they suffered. Silly and pitiful.

Eye

Your eye is a lamp that provides light for your body. Matt:6:22 Oh be careful little eyes what you see Oh be careful little eyes what you see The Father up above Is looking down in love. Oh be careful little eyes what you see. A tiny song that we learnt as children, but carries heavy significance even for us now. What goes in you either purifies you or defiles you. And the eye is the major gateway of what goes inside of you. And the phone in your hand is the highway that leads to that gateway right now. What do you feed yourself with? Search history tells it out loudly. Whether you have cleared your search history or whether it is in incognito mode or whether your watch history is off. It might be hidden to the world or to your spouse or to your children or to your friends. But apart from you there is one more person who knows it through and through. In fact spick and span. Where do your eyes wander as you walk down the street or drive down the lane? What do your eyes ...

Whom do you listen to?

Matt:11:18-19 John didn't spend his time eating and drinking. Whilst the Son of man feasts and drinks. Both were found fault by the society and labelled. Whatever you do, there would be people to criticise you and point fingers at you. But as long as you are I'm the center of God's plan and you are sure that you are pleasing God, then you need not bother. People even from your own fellowship, your own family may blame you for those decisions. Forget about the world who doesn't know your Master. But if you do, after putting in much prayer and take decisions in accordance with what God tells you to do, then why bother about what others have to say. As long as you are sure that it is from God you listen. John was bold enough to ask the society to repent not bothering about what they told about him. So was Jesus. He kept on doing what He had come to do. You are affected by what people say about you. Then you are some one who tries to perform before ...
