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!

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.
"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!
