I spent the weekend with my favourite twins Niya and Joana,my friends from Herbertpur days when they were seven month old wonders who used to brighten up my mornings,waiting for me through the netted door even as I crashed down unto the groundfloor of my quarter in Herbertpur.One of them ,with a naughty smile used to tease me and the other used to stare at the beautiful butterflies in the garden with wonder.They always used to carry such peace on their little shoulders.They are still the same ,beautiful little ladies ,engaging ,made a lot of conversation with me.As I listened to them intelligently describe what was happening to their lives in the UK now,I just felt like I saw a walking and talking miracle.The faces of the little toddlers actually grown up by five years or so.
I had a blessed time with Sushil and Anju,sharing ,talking and just revelling in the goodness of God.
I attended the Basildon church at KBC after almost four years.There was that hard-hitting message that reduced me to tears ...spirit of God will never let us be..it gets us when people pray.
The message in the church was Mathew 25 vs 31 eloquently expressed by the pastor.
''When the son of man comes in glory.......''
When you are one in the crowd,there are noises and more noises,there are jostling,stepping on each others toes, life happens,as life should and the dust it throws up becomes the platinum dust at the back of your throat and even as life chokes ,you thirst and the thirst that it brings you ,can be satisfied only by the living water.
Mathew 25 vs 31 is a vivid picture of all that the creation is moving towards one can palpate the awe,hope and the mood of the crowd even as ''Every knee bends and every tongue confesses that Jesus Christ is Lord.''
The moods in the room are-
1)Deep regret.
2)Confusion-when Christ says,'Get away from me I never knew you..'
3)Surprise-When Christ says,'Good and faithfulservant.....'
The pastor mentioned Martin of tours.
One winter morning Martin of tours saw an ill-clad beggar at the gate of the city of Amiens.Martin had no money to give the beggar ,so he cut his cloak into half and gave it to him.
That night he saw Jesus wearing that dirty cloak around him in his dream.
He had been considering christianity, he gave his life to Jesus.
'Then the righteous will answer him saying ,'Lord,when did we....?
When we look beyond people's faults and see the potential...what you have done for the very least,you did for me...'
The Lord's sheep have a healthy hump.
We need to abide in prayer,in His word and in worship.
We will see the fruit.
