When I look at the sky
I wonder how God could make it so high
How the rains fall on the soil so dry
To yield its fruit in season
Each fruit has its own sensation
Each nationality different in every nation
The emotions of mankind filled with passion
God given jobs for our provision
The word of God our protection
To bring mankind salvation
Through the cross He brought about Justification
Let us our sins make a renunciation
And turn to Jesus
The Lord God of Creation
By The Indian Aunty
Sangeetha
The Lord God of Creation
Wanted to build a nation
In the garden of Eden
But through Sinful man
He had to forgo that plan
Then God sent His only begotten Son
To bring salvation to everyone
This Almighty God chose us even before we were born
To give us hope,
Like you see the stars through a telescope
So during difficult times we can cope
Jesus is the answer and not dope
Trust Him and He will bless you
And make your life new
This Jesus is TRUE
One day a beautiful little bird was singing on a tree, content as she can be
She had her four little chicks and she and her bird husband really clicked
Their nest of sticks was strong,
And she thought nothing could go wrong
But one day a wind came along and blew her nest away
But luckily she, her husband and chicks did not stray
They huddled close together
They thanked God the father for his protecting power
Little by little they built their nest again
God the Father asked the little chick
Why she did not falter ?
She looked up to God and said
Because you have power
And you are our protector
What I want to tell the readers is God has you in the palms of His hands
Whatever you are going through trust Him
And He is always there to help you and see you through
By the Indian Aunty
Sangeetha Alexander
The day He walked into my life
There is a Lord
Who watches over all
There is a Lord who catches you when you fall
There is a Lord who tells you
You are amazing even when you feel very hurt and small
There is a Lord who prays for you when Him you call
There is a Lord who took you from fire and ashes and turned you around like a great phoenix who rose into glory from fire
This is not satire
There is a Lord who took your hand from the mire
There is a Lord who blessed you
When others cursed you
There is a Lord who cared for you and protected you
And made you, you
Like a phoenix when all thought you were in the dust and ashes
He the Lord dusted the ashes off
And made you a woman
Like giving you beauty for ashes
Like lighting a cigarette with matches
He loved you
He made you
You are unique
You are you
People like you are few
Lord take away the chains
As the plants take in the rain
Your blessings from me never refrain
You took me from the drain
One day I will travel in the air train
When things get difficult
Smile at the warmth of the sun
Feel him holding you
Telling you
He cares
Let us worship the Lord
Not in a ritualistic shroud
But in faith and trust and simplicity
Hold his hand
He understands
Lord for you I stand
amen
As I gaze into oblivion of hoplessness,
seeking a way out of destruction,
my Lord walks into my life to give me transformation Was it my fault for migration to seek the help of immigration
My hopes go under gravitation
Yet from the seed underground, Comes my new life He has formed I seek him,
His love , His hope
As I watch myself seeing myself in Kaleidoscope
As watching the world from a space station in a telescope
Lord God because of you I can cope
I relive the words in my heart you spoke Saying Believe
Believe yes I believe You saw me hopeless telling me to focus on your word
That rules the world
Yes I believe let me never you or your word leave
As my heart’s intentions are shaken on a sieve
I look at the sunset saying yes you will succeed
You will be blessed
You are my prodigy I give you hope
And yes your future has scope
Never waver faith and hope I love you
, I am in you and I am with you Lord please make me brand new
Lord all I am and have is because of you I love you all I can say with gratitude Is THANK YOU
Amen
Forgiveness Why should we forgive those who hurt us, mistreated us, angered us, mocked us, Why should we forgive, shouldn’t we hurt, them ask God to put them in hell, Dear ones No, forgive them, love them, pray for them and let the hurt they brought on you disappear through forgiveness, When Jesus was mocked, hurt, beaten, spat upon, shouldn’t he have asked the Father God for vengeance and hell and blood on those who ill treated him, No he said “ Father forgive them for they know not what they do” People are people and people have choice, today please make the choice to forgive, weather, it is anger, jealousies or hatred forgive them, How many times as many times as they ill-treat you or anger you, do not secretly wish for evil over them or there families we do not know why they are as they are, maybe they did not have love as children, maybe no one hugged them and said I love you, maybe there parents had alcohol problems, love them love them, How many times do we forgive ,when one sees a river and a stone in the river as long as the water flows over the river and over the stone smoothing of the rough edges forgive them, forgiveness takes away the rough pain, the rough anger and sets you free in heart, mind and spirit, there was a time I was a rough rock with unforgiveness but as the word of the Lord washed away the anger, hatred and bitterness I felt a peace inside my heart and soul yes I had to forgive and in forgiveness there was peace and there was liberty in my heart mind and soul and with forgiveness comes love, love for those who hurt us, reviled us and mocked us, the bible says “ faith, hope and love the greatest of these is love Love and forgiveness go hand in hand, come hold the hand of forgiveness yes but only if there is love, and let us walk the road of grace and liberty, God Bless You
Alone she sat looking out the window in the train wondering where,? Why?, how?, will she ever, ?as she looked out tears streaming down her face, asking herself is there a God?, will he ever help,? she was a religious person she went to church, read the bible and was a good human being, but why where did it all go wrong, did the Almighty punish her for who she was or was it just her fate or karma that lead her to this.
As the tears poured down her face, she felt a warm hand on her shoulder an elderly lady with kind brown eyes sat next to her and asked her what was wrong, Shena mumbled eyerthing, her marriage was broken, she lost her house and now her job was in jeopardy, the old lady hugged her and said sweetheart it will be alright just believe, as Shena thanked the old lady and gave her a hug the old lady gave her a date 15 August which was three days from now and said it will work out by then.
Shena smiled and mumbled thank you drying her eyes got out of the train just as she walked out she felt comforted and mumbled to her cynical self 15th August, as she went to stay in a rundown flat close to her work place she closed the door and wept crying out to God why was she in such jeopardy doesn’t God care?, is there even a God,? just then she heard a knock on the door and there was the same old lady caring a tray of soup and a sandwich , Shena mumbled a thank you suddenly realising how hungry she was and wolfed it down.
Shena gave the old lady a hug once more and asked where she was staying the old lady said close enough to help as Shena was tired and closed her eyes to sleep she had a dream about how to expand the advertising company she was working in she was excited and frightened she was just a receptionist and wondered if the boss will ever have time to listen to her but Shena took note of the dream and made a presentation with it, she took note of the date it was oneday to the 15th of August and with anticipation asked the boss if she could give out her presentation the boss joked about how everyone wanted attention.
Shena smiled and said believe just then as she said those words she looked out the boss window and there was the sweet old lady moping the floor and waved back on the 15th of August Shena dressed in a sharp red business suit gave her presentation there was silence and then a thunderous applause she had fixed a great problem and at the same time had got a great deal for the company that day she got a promotion and went out to thank the old lady but could not find her just as she got home she was surprised to see her apartment full of red roses her husband’s name was on the card which read “ I am sorry I love you” 
just as she ran to the door to ask the land lord about the old lady who lived close by the land lord said there was no one there with that description as she looked at the table there was a pair of crystal wings which said Believe God loves you and below that 15th of August as she wept holding on to the beautiful crystal wings there was a knock on the door and there was her husband looking into his eyes she wept it was the 15th of August as she kissed her husband .
She saw in the distance an old lady walking as Shena said there was someone special she had to thank and ran after her the old lady turned, smiled and disappeared All Shena said was” thank you my wonderful guardian angel”
In her hands were the beautiful crystal wings which read” Believe”.
Dear ones all of us know how exquisitely lovely, rare, expensive, sentimental and beautiful diamonds are, but when we see the actual rock we begin to doubt can there be any value in this stone, it looks like any other rock but beloved it is from this rock diamonds are formed, it has to go through a process and be handled by a skilful diamond cutter and then this rock shines, radiates, reflects the various lights and yes can be given to some wonderful, beautiful lucky lady who sees her worth through the stone handed to her by that special someone.There was once a humble carpenter and his wife who were living by modest means neither too rich nor too poor but had enough to feed their three children Hannah aged 8, Edmond aged 6 and little Jack aged 3. Hannah loved helping her mother who was always busy in those days beyond the imagination of man of dishwashers, vacuum cleaners, and washing machines. Women usually washed, swept and cleaned.
One day Edmond as he was playing in the fields with his friends Joshua and Jason he suddenly saw the prettiest thing he had ever seen yes he was six but even at that age the God given attraction of beauty of a beautiful blonde girl around five years old was playing on the swing, he ran up to her to play with her but suddenly saw an entourage of big burly men and a gorgeous young woman in her mid thirties who looked very much like the girl on the swing, talking on her mobile phone, he then realised the lady was a popular actress and had come to his humble hometown in Israel to do some filming of a movie.He pulled the shirt of one of the burly men close by asking if he could play with the girl, Joshua and Jason were looking like two gold fish at with mouths open at Edmond’s courage, the pretty girl and young woman. As the body gourd gave consent Joshua went up to the girl his heart beating fast and asked her name she said Rachel, he asked her if she was Jewish she did not understand wrinkled her nose and stared laughing.
Joshua and Rachel started playing together every day for a week and even the body gourds took a liking to Joshua, as Saturday approached both Joshua and the Rachel who had a formed a beautiful platonic bond of child hood innocence knew through there young lives each had touched the other’s heart, before Rachel left Edmond gave her a heart shaped pendant that he bought with his pocket money and said Rachel one day I will come to America to see you.Rachel hugged Edmond and kissed his check even the body gourd had tears and a sense of awe at these young children who were naïve of the sexual beauty and depravity of the world, yet had so much of beauty and innocence, Jo the bodyguard knew if they were just a few more years older they would make a gorgeous couple, the divine timings put forth by a divine omnipotent Divinity can not be explained or contradicted due to the higher Divine powers Sovereignty.
Edmond grew up went to acting school in Jerusalem and with his dream of pursuing his heart’s desire of being an actor jetted to LA. The first few years were hard, he worked at all odd hours, from being a waiter, to being a pizza delivery boy to being a bell boy, it was in one of those jobs he was able to meet an agent and due to his dark gorgeous looks he got a leading role in a movie called Faith or Fate in which he acts like a young Anglican Minister falling in love with an atheist college professor, as he came to the studio he met the girl playing the role of his lover she looked gorgeous, Edmond ‘s heart beat fast, his lips became dry as he took that extra sip of water, he noticed the pendant the actress was wearing he had seen it some where, some where from long ago when he was a little boy, now the actress was staring at Edmond and vice versa, he asked her, her name she said Rachel .
Edmond and Rachel got married that summer be it “ Faith or Fate” in the game of love, true union will be where two become one, some sooner others later, some go through a process while others meet and marry right away but whatever way to choose, for better for worse for richer for poorer as you put the rings in each other’s hands the diamond is a significance of life of togetherness. Just like the making of a diamond my prayer is let that diamond shine never just be a rock let the hardships of life, love, work, money make you into that glorious diamond.
Diamonds were not born they were created
Shanthi was a single mum bringing up two children Devi and Vijay, she had always believed in a God of creation, nature and beauty but after her husband left her for another woman from his office, her spirituality had waned and she stopped saying her prayers wondering if it was in her karma or fate to bring up her two children alone with no help from any where, she had not gone to university as her parents could not afford it and had got her married to the first man who came along, so she decided to be a house maid and she was determined to give Vijay and Devi an education.Shanthi worked long and hard to provide food for her children, one day as she was going to work her slippers broke and having no money to buy a new pair she walked bare foot feeling the heat and rubble in her feet, she felt tears welling up in her eyes wondering where He was not her husband but the one she loved and believed in as a child, didn’t He care, there was no one to console her, no one to be there for her why oh why Lord she felt her heart cry
Suddenly there was a tender hand on her shoulder with twinkling eyes and a soft sweet expression on his face, he handed her a handkerchief she smiled and thanked him he was wearing a simple crisp white shirt and plain black trousers, he must have been around 40 years old.Shanthi who had been neglected, alone, and in desperation seeing the love in his beautiful brown eyes held on to his hands and wept aloud, she felt his hands on her shoulder and after she wept, He asked her, her name she said Shanthi meaning peace and out of gratitude she asked his name he said Yesudas meaning Jesus, he said talk to me do not be scared tell me why you are so upset, as she poured out her heart to Yesu, she felt a peace come over her.
He asked her where she lived and about her children Vijay and Devi, that evening she cooked rice, dhal and potato curry for her guest and the children showed Yesu their school books and drawing as it was getting late she did not want to let Yesudas go she had not felt such love and peace in such a long time, then as it neared 9.00 pm after the children went to bedYesu put his hands on her head and gave her an envelope He said one word to her Believe and just like that he vanished, as she opened that envelope there was enough for her to buy a house and live a fairly comfortable life she could not believe it she ran out to thank Him but there was no one there that evening when she went to say her prayers with incense in front of her God she was shocked yet filled with awe she saw the face of Yesudas smiling down at her from the picture.
Her children, grew up , went to university got good jobs as she was in her 80’s and sick in her bed she saw an old man coming to talk to her, she knew she had seen that face some where, some where from long long ago and then he said Shanthi time for your Shanthi come home she whispered Dear Yesu as she put both her hands in a Namaste position she whispered Thank you as she breathed her last breath and her spirit walked hand in hand with Yesu the God, Lord, Man, Three in one , The one she had loved all her life, till He came to take her home. Om Shanthi Om.
Hi there darlings, sweethearts, munchkins, how are you all today? Today I feel blessed to know “ Because He lives, I can face tomorrow and Because He lives all fear is gone, Because I know He holds the future and life is worth a living Because He lives” ( words taken from the song Because He Lives) When our Lord Jesus died on the cross that was not the end, “He Rose Again” in Glory and Majesty and He governs the world and things of the world, He does not bring pain and disease the evil does that it says in the Bible” The evil one has come to steal, kill and destroy” But it also says in the Bible “ He has come to give us life and life more abundantly” not only that “ our Lord has come to destroy the works of the enemy”
The Bible is the most powerful Book in publication because it contains the very spirit and sayings of our Lord God, Are you afraid then pray? Are you sick read the word and pray, Do you feel lonely then pray, Are people mean to you then pray, Our Lord is just a prayer away, You may ask how do we pray, talk to God as you would talk to your best friend or family, He cares, He listens, He answers, He is alive, He is real.
I am Blessed to call Him “ Christ Jesus” my Saviour and Lord. He chose me even before I was born, He had a plan for my life even before I was conceived and He knows you and has a plan for your life just like he knew me. God has good plans for your life, you may feel you are going no where but during this time our master sculptor is taking the bad chips away with a chisel, taking away our anger, jealousies, gossiping etc and is working on the final product a beautiful sculpture fit for our King of Kings and Lord of Lords. It is not easy going through this process, it hurts, maybe the doors you wish for yourself has not opened, maybe you are going through a separation process with a loved one, may be life has not been going the way you envisioned it but remember the master sculpture sees the beautiful finished product while all you see are the chips and cracks but hang on there is hope, there is light at the end of the tunnel, you my friend are a beautiful sculpture that the Lord has been working on.
There are so many people who are lonely, sick, depressed, grieving for a loved one, having addictions be it alcohol, drugs, porn or sex but there is a way out, cry out to the Lord for help, change your dependence mentality and you will see a light at the end of a tunnel, prayer, determination and rehab will set you free.
Dear ones you maybe in a difficult process but there is hope, there is light, there are rainbows, there is a God and He is Alive and He is reaching out to you, working on you and caring for you. Let Him work His amazing plans for your life, do not worry about the broken pieces I know it is hard I have been there and I can empathise with you but one day when you have that warm cup of tea or get into the warm bath, or buy that new dress all you can whisper or shout out loud is Thank You Lord . Let us live this life with an attitude of gratitude.
