He will come like the winter rains,like the spring rains that waters the earth......

Today the church was a rich experience and the presence of the spirit of God talking to us and affirming.
There was not much words but a lot of pictures ,pictures of spring in full glory.
'Spring is a time of growth'
Hosea 6:3 was quoted-
''Let us acknowledge the Lord;Let us press on to acknowledge Him.
As surely as the sun rises,He will appear;He will come like the winter rains,
like the spring rains that waters the earth.''
As the worship continued and there were paintings from Jesus' time on earth on the screen above fleeting through.
There was one of the samaritan woman talking to Jesus by the well.there was another of Mary washing Jesus' feet,there was one of the Lord's supper in the upper room,but there was one particular painting that strangely drew me ,it was a shadow painting of Jesus on the road walking with some other men talking to them,in spirit I interpreted it as the walk through the road to Emmaus.
As the service progressed,the pastor called out to the congregation to talk to the Lord about the painting that we had been drawn to.
It was an amazing experience to know that the Lord was with us in this uncertain and indecisive road,sometimes we fail to recognise Him.'For the disciples ,on the road to Emmaus when everything seemed to be apparently falling apart,how comforting it was to have Jesus come and talk to them...they do recognise it in the retrospect.
'He will come like the winter rains,like the spring rains that water the earth' on our walk through the road to Emmaus and the road to the cross.
Here were two songs we sang in the course of preaching .
1)The Lord is my shepherd......there was one verse in particular which deeply spoke to me and it was..'I will trust in Him alone...'Yes I will trust in Him alone because only He knows best what He wants me to do.
2)To added affliction ,He offers more grace and out of His infinite mercy in Jesus,He giveth and giveth and giveth again.
Praise God for my Redeemer who never fails to lead me.

A self retreat.

 The last week of January I have started camping out in my construction site with a manuel which reads the King's James version of Holy bible.I thought I would take time to just quieten myself .I am getting a peek into the family who looks after my land.The construction is moving at rapid pace.I pray that it will beat the monsoons this year.If the Lord wills it I hope to do the first floor as well in this sitting.It requires a lot of prayer for the plan and the design and occupancy thereafter. As you can see there is a significant progress.I am here for till the month end.The first night my two little nephews and my cousin decided to rough it out with me.It was quite interesting having them around. The early morning view of the mountains are what I am hoping to catch.It can be breathtaking in December and we are still towards the end of winter so I should be able to enjoy it.The first night was a learning experience with princess and the pea experience.Second nigh onwards I have ha...

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...

Gift of Life...

  I  realise  I am a beauty junkie. Always on the lookout for the experience that brings tears of awe to your person. I guess it is all right because there is just one life to live and as would have it I would like to live it to the fullest.I  have travelled a bit and I have a whole bucket list unticked yet.Some things I call it my short life,I still cherish forever. I have had the experience to meet up and get close to exceptional people ,some of them extremely rare species who stick out from the crowd. One such friend during my early years just looked across the bench to me and said something which has stuck with me forever. Having been to Auroville in Pondicherry, one suddenly exclaimed,' There is a glass crystal in Auroville, when the sunlight falls on it  it reflects the light beautifully and it is breathtaking to say the least. You should see it.The crystal reminded me of you.'I have not seen that crystal till date but I remember the eyes of the person whe...
