I wish to

count the stars in heaven 
catch the pouring rain 
meet the eye of the glaring sun 
or ride on the lazy moon... 

seek the rainbow's end 
live in the Garden of Eden 
bathe on the life's fountain 
or drink the water that turned into wine... 

sing with the nightingales
shout with the thunder and lightning 
or fly on  the sky when windy... 

cross the oceans' boundary 
dive deep into earth's sanctuary 
unearth the world's most precious jewellery 
or harvest a million hectare greenery... 

All of these,

I always wish.

but I can't,

But I'm still happy and 

not in gloom.

All alone in this dark room, 
mind joggle, thoughts rumble 
while eating my sweet little apple...

Paul's Journey to The Road of Damascus Leading to The Door of Faith

-

“You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell   is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it. MATTHEW 7 : 13 - 14 NLT This is one amongst the teachings of Jesus Christ recorded as Sermon on The Mount. As I searched for the synonyms of "gate"/ "gateway" in Oxford dictionary, I found "entrance", "door"/ "doorway". Spiritually, this "door" that we will explore is a metaphor representing no other than Jesus Christ. One of His great "I AM’s" is " I Am The Door." As it is declared in  JOHN 10: 9-10 NKJV "I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.  The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.  I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." NLT v...

Moses answered, “Don't be afra id! Stand your ground, and you will see what the  Lord  will do to save you today; you will never see these Egyptians again.  The  Lord  will fight for you, and all you have to do is keep still.” EXODUS 14:13-14 TEV/ GNT SETTING/ BACKGROUND: The Israelites are encamped near Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea. They are to encamp by the sea, directly opposite Baal-zephon. (V. 2) Then the Egyptians, including the Pharoah started to chase them when he realized that he made a mistake in letting the Israelites leave. In life, we always come to a point when great changes happen; we have to make big decisions while being caught in a seemingly overwhelming situations; we have to leave someone; we need go somewhere else with no assurance what awaits us; or start a new beginning full of uncertainty. Anxiety will dominate. Fear can be overwhelming at worst. In this text, the Israelites are in despair because right behind them are m...

How Christians Can Build Each Other Up?

-
Image
20 But you, dear friends, must build each other up in your most holy faith, pray in the power of the Holy Spirit, 21 and await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will bring you eternal life. In this way, you will keep yourselves safe in God’s love. 22 And you must show mercy to those whose faith is wavering. 23 Rescue others by snatching them from the flames of judgment. Show mercy to still others, but do so with great caution, hating the sins that contaminate their lives. JUDE 1: 20-23 NLT Introduction: How do you influence other people? How comfortable are you in talking to other people about your faith, about their faith and about salvation? Talking to other people about your faith or about their faith is a challenging aspect in any kind of conversation or relationship because it is too personal or worse, it is a non-existent thing to others. How much more if it is about salvation and eternal life? God wants us to strengthen/ build each other up so we will all experience His lo...
