Professions


You look for money,
I look for people;
You are paid for your job,
My work drained all I’ve got.

You work for money,
I work to serve;
You would work for higher pay,
I would pay to do my work.

You are Professional,
I am Apostle Paul.

Giving

[A poem written for a generous friend of mine]

You know that I know I don’t deserve this,
You know that I know I shouldn’t expect it.
I know that you know this to me is a bliss,
Though this is too surprising to accept it.
Indeed, ‘giving’ is well deserved to be received!
It reveals more the character of the giver
Than the condition of the one who received!
May you thrive and be fruitful more than ever!

An Escape to Himalaya



Does my Lord ascend from the Mount Olivet?
Must I ascend from the Mount Himalaya?
Without fields to plow, no souls to bring, I fret.
The prophets, Isaiah and Jeremiah
Remind me to linger on, no matter what –
Even when heaven’s door seems to remain shut.
Indeed, no sin, no devil, and no darkness
Can conceal the surety of God’s faithfulness!

Waiting on the Lord

[I wrote this poem after meditations on Psalm 63, and John 21, and Matthew 20:1-16]

The field is ripe and yellow
Willing and desirous I am to go
The sun is high up in the sky
Scores of men ahead as I look with a sigh.

 The Master has been on the roll call
"Has He passed me by?" My joy grows cold
A still voice echoes, "Do you love Me?"
Yes, Lord! Do I love Thy work more than Thee?

Psalm Sixty-three three comes alive
“Thy Loving-kindness is better than life”
No gain, no loss, nothing will let me annoy
If God’s Love I recall, there I find my true joy.

Trusting God amidst doubt


Dedicated to all my friends, of
Shillong South Evangelical Union (2010-2013).
It was a joy growing together with you there!


I cannot compare my anguish to others,
For I believe theirs are greater than mine,
But even mine, I cannot handle it,
Yet I long to help carry others’ burden.

With all my being, I want to please Him,
With all I am, I strive to please Him,
Everything that He has given me,
I surrender all to Him for Him.

For my desires are You, oh Lord!
Yet Lord, I don’t know how true,
How far have I practiceed what I’ve said!
Whatever the circumstance may be–

I never want to go astray from You,
I want my life to be pleasing unto You,
Do not lead me into temptation.
Deliver me from the Evil one.

God really cares and understands us.
He always loves us and is just and good.
He is faithful, He is wonderful!
Let every creation of Him praise the Lord!

The other side of Facebook


Billions of people are on Facebook
Are they in the book of life (Lifebook)?
Thousands of users increasing in the former,
Numbers of people missing in the latter.

Have you ever ponder, face-bookers
That Christ wants us to be soul-bookers?
He came to the fishermen,
Calling them to become fishers of men.

They followed, leaving behind their net.
Must we not go beyond the internet?
Wait not for the comfortable time,
For we are told to redeem the time.

You may have friends more than ever
The fans of Justin Bieber.
It profits nothing,
If you do nothing,
To bring a soul to the fold.
Look! Millions of people are Christ untold.

Satan v/s God

Satan works all the time. (He works outside)
When I was praying, he was not intimidated
When I was resting, he did not give up
When I was sleeping, he was not complacent
When I was sinning, he was not contented
I tell you he is the busiest and most diligent being;
Because he knows, his time is near.
He is roaming to and fro to devour anyone!

      God works greater all the time. (He works in me)
When I was not, He made me
When I was dead in sin, He made me alive
When I was rebellious, He reconciled me
When I was sinning, He convicted me
When I walk with Him, He directs me
God’s grace is greater than my sins.
His grace is greater than the schemes of Satan.
His grace is greater than life itself.
He made life, gives life and renews life.
Though you fail, He remains faithful!
