Arise,shine for your light is come ......!


I have but recently forayed into the world of photography.
The play of light and shadows have been fascinating me quite a bit.
One of my favourite so far has been that of light filtering through the window into a dark room.
Going into the physics of it,there are only two ways in which a ray of light can be seen .One is if it falls directly into the eye and second is if it is reflected through a medium.
For the rays of light falling into the dark room the medium is the tiny dust particles suspended in the air,each one oscillating at it's own frequency and dispersing the light waves thus giving us the visual treat.
Fascinating,I thought.I wondered what would be the charecteristics in the particles that made such miraculous phenomenon a possibility.
I enumerated three,there might be more.
The particle by the smallness and the lightness of it's being was suspended mid-air.(What processes it must have been through to reach that form.)
It was literally living on the edge,a simple gale could displace it in any direction.
It has no light of it's own.It's beauty thus, is entirely that of the sun's light.
We are called to live lives like that in these times.
It draws a parellel to the prophecy of Isaiah ,"Arise,shine for your light is come.
The glory of the Lord rises upon you.
See the darkness covers the earth
and thick darkness is over the peoples,
but the Lord rises upon you
and his glory appears over you.
Nations will come to your light,
and kings to the brightness of your dawn."
YOU ARE THE HOPE OF THE NATIONS.
As Jesus says in Mathew 5 vs.14-16
"You are the light of the world...a city on a hill cannot be hidden.."
Therefore Arise,shine for the your light is come...The glory of the Lord rises upon you.
This arising is a deliverence from inaction that comes by the empowerment of the Holy spirit.It is the light of GOd being reflected by the people of God....To shine with a beauty which is not our own...
As Paul puts it in Ephesians 5vs 14-"Arise o'sleeper from the dead and Christ will shine on you".
May it be so.

Image of Christ.

 There is nothing more scarier than a heart that has hardened .I was talking to Mary the other day,infact weeping with her There is a deep restlessnessness inside.Thank God for it becuase it shows that I have not resigned myself to the way things are.I was telling her I miss the deep experience of seeing the image of Christ and the compassion of the Holy spirit which just used to overwhelm  my heart when I saw the image of Christ in people ,situation and the creation. What is the image of Christ?It is a body marred and maimed to bear the sin of the world.it is a voice that did not speak in protest against God the father,who actually planned it all before the creation of the world,not against the people who maimed Him ,flogged Him,drove the nails into His hands and feet to satisfy their sinful nature.The image of Christ is a body broken  to the utmost yet given to feed the very same people .It is a love that did not count the cost. I am a person who does not put too much v...

Feet in the water.

  Fifteen days of earned leave after working for two years,I was praying in a house group prayer and worship and pleading with the Lord to show me something ,when it was not forthcoming I surrendered to the Lord and prayed let your will be done and then I saw the Lord walking up a winding road and deep in my spirit I knew He was calling me to follow Him .I did not know where to but I thanked the Lord and said yes. I have been living more in the unseen world than the seen world. Suddenly out of the blue I received a message from Dr Arpit asking me to replace them in Madhipura  for a  fortnight. I needed to go because things were getting a little intense and I needed sometime to step back and mull some things over. I had no idea why the Lord was taking me back to the old world of EHA , mission hospitals and friends from the yore. Travelling to Madhipura , I  continnued to ask the Lord, 'Why this road? I had no idea why I was going  where I was going.I am glad I ca...

Thankyou Lord for the year that was.

 It has been sometime since I have blogged. I don't even remember how the whole of last year passed. While sitting for the prayer meeting with the ladies I suddenly realised that the last year I had broken so many barriers. Things I had cried to the Lord in prayer had come to pass quietly but surely. It has not been without drama but it was through sheer resolve and daily consecratiom  I walked the steps I never thought I could. I learnt to drive for one and then towards the last week had the distinction of breaking the panes of the car while backing. It hit the wall. Thank-fully no one was hurt. My wonderful family just said ,'It Happens'. This year I adopted a male pig and a female pig .I sold the last year's pig for fourteen grands and five hundred.I  brought some brick to try and build an apartment but since the leading from the Lord was not to invest I invested the money in my eternal home I thank God for that. Towards the year end I got the privellage to help Kanc...
