Have you ever danced with Jesus?

By -
I would have long been lost, if Jesus was not there to hold me. I would have fallen down the ditch of depression, nervous breakdown, and even madness, if only the Savior had not held me up in His arms like a father cradles his newborn - delicately, not harming, and ever so careful. Not for a minute did He put me down; not for a second did He take His eyes off me. When I was struggling with pain even in raising my arms in prayer, He held me close to His heart, giving me His comfort.

What more do you, my soul, need to reaffirm His love? Hasn't He been carrying you when you could not walk? Hasn't He been watching you with unsleeping eyes when you slept? Didn't you sleep better because He gave you His rest? It sometimes gives me great joy, and sometimes great wonder, and sometimes great tears of thankfulness when I sit down to think, that my Father in Heaven never sleeps - just so He could be with me. He Never sleeps? Can you imagine, my heart, what it must be like to never sleep or rest? To keep watchful eyes fixed on one's children always, never resting them.

Don't the words merciful, wonderful, good, great sound so diminished when considering the expanse of His love? It seems as though that the Father would rather hear us call Him 'Father' than all the adjectives in the language. Just a simple 'Abba' must be music to His ears, better than the angelic choirs.

Just a word from Him, just to hear His loving voice brings immeasuable peace and joy. Sometimes, I pray that all I want is to just hear Your welcome voice once more. It is the greatest wonder of heavenly love when the Creator, God of all, comes down to talk with me, pray with me, sing with me, laugh with me, teach me, guide me - even hand hold me into walking difficult paths, and yes, dance with me. The joy on His face and the love in His eyes are unparalleled!

Break Down - Build Up

By -

When Father God spoke to me of further breaking up in my life, I looked up and said, ‘Father, breaking up is painful. But I know that I’m in Your hands and You will not let me scatter, so here I am. And I’m scared. Even though after the last break up, what I found was much more valuable than what I had.’ Yes, breaking is painful, especially when you’re at the receiving end. Even if you know that after breaking, what the Lord would build would be much more magnificent – the glory of the latter house will be greater than the former – still it needs a stout and willing heart to step forward and say – I’m here. I said ‘I’m here’ not because I’m a lion-heart, but because I’m encouraged after the last break-down encounter with God. I know it is only glory that He’ll lead me to. Being with Jesus is all about breaking down and building up. Continuously, consciously or unconsciously, but relentlessly. Call it pruning if you’re a gardener at heart; I’m more of an architecture- or interior desig...

Keep Your Eye on the Road

As I sat in the office bus in the evening, I could see my face reflected in the glass separating me and the driver’s cabin. There was a dark colored curtain on the other side that enabled the reflection. I closed my eyes as I turned up the volume of the worship songs on the iPod. Suddenly, I opened my eyes – probably just to check the distance – I saw the curtain slightly pulled back, and I could see the road out of the windscreen. And right here begins the small discussion of an eye-opener. When you stop looking at yourself, you start seeing the way. I smiled. And closed my eyes, listening still to the worship songs. Few minutes later, I opened my eyes again. The curtain had flown back a bit and now I could see a partial reflection – my face was not reflected, but a side of my hair was. But in the place where my face should've been reflected, I saw the road ahead. If you look at the way long enough, you start to look like Him. The curtain slipped back further, till I saw a partial...
