His Presence Beyond Languages
Today : I was feeling a wee bit low when i thought that there would not be any blog posts in November, but I did not want to write anything and fill this space. I had been having a tough time, lots of assignments and stuff like that and I did not take time to relax and stay in the presence of God. Its is a truly life changing experience when you give into him. Running on my mind now is the song "Forever Reign" by Hillsong from Beautiful Exchange. The song goes ... "You are good, you are good, when there is nothing good in me You are love You are love On display for all to see You are light You are light When the darkness closes in You are hope You are hope You have covered all my sin "

Last night was amazing, I attended a small party, a number of Christians had come together to spend some time off studies and unwind, man it feels like a great blessing now. I sat at a table and this is the table were people from almost every continent, of many languages, and it was like we were representing God from our countries here, like there I was an India, and then there was this Japanese guy, two British guys, a girl from Spain, a girl from Germany, a girl from Bulgaria, two guys whose ethnicity could be traced to Africa, a guy who was half French and half German, and I think there was some one from USA. All of us, came to this table not knowing this would be the population at the table, and they were random and we just sat at a table we found empty or something. This could not have been anything better than this, that God brought his kids from all over the world, to this tiny table covered with some table paper, in a tiny space, in his time so that we could glorify God. How mighty is your name O, Lord
This is a little map of the crowd at my table and there were 6 other table, there were people I knew from some countries in African continent, some from Australia, some from USA and some with ethnic background from South American continent. Praising God has no words, no language, its all about you Lord! all about you ..... Every knee shall bow , every tongue shall proclaim, the Jesus Christ is God!
This could be my first ever critique of art that I have ever written and that is because it is only recently art has captured my interest as much as this work. This write up is made both in English and German as I want to practice my German. 'The Nativity' by Gari Melchers. I am not an art expert and my critique is from a layman's point of view, but bear with me. I have tried reading some information about the art and the culture behind it and I have my two favourite blog posts about the same work and yes, I have shamelessly copied some of their thoughts. Woebegone but Hopeful and other is by Lisa VO . Julius Garibaldi Melchers (August 11, 1860 – November 30, 1932) was an American artist. He was one of the leading American proponents of naturalism. He won a 1932 Gold medal from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.[1] - Wikipedia The Nativity is painted during the peak of realism movement - in a gritty and less idealised ma...
This is an extract from a mail I had written to my friends and I wish that most of you my readers would get this message too. I want to tell you about a few testimonies that changed my perception of testimonies. Most of you may have heard me say this many times, but then since its that good, I wish your Christmas memories could include this one too. The first story occurs in a little village of pullad. Now that is in Kerala, and for those who do not know where it is, the place is near kumbanad, and around 15 Kms from Chengannur/ Thiruvalla and some where in the mid point between ernakulam and trivandrum . SEE IT ON MAP I HAD WRITTEN THE STORY IN A BETTER FORMAT OVER AN YEAR AGO. SEE TOTALLY SIMPLE FAITH. It is a village more than a town , with rubber trees, bugs and the sweet sound of rain in the woody and leafy region, so it cooler and humid than most other parts of kerala. So, i was here, in a prayer meeting run by a pentecostal group called the hallelujah pra...
The chapter Isaiah 59 is a very meaningful chapter. The chapter begins with the prophet telling us that God has not run away from us or nor is he hiding that our tears cannot be seen or our cries cannot be heard. But when we went away from God, we were also neglected justice by others and God saw that his children were oppressed and were denied justice and as it is said in in Isaiah 59:15(b) . This is our God. Although we are sinners he says and that there were no one who could stand for you as mediators , God would bring you the salvation. The Lord is at my right hand, he is there to protect me, but let me tell you that God is also there to guard you from sinning. The verse Isaiah 59:19 , is the most important verse that we should remember when we are tempted. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him and put him to flight*. Isaiah 59:19 What does this verse mean to you? This is what I have understood and I follow. You ...
