May God give you the goosebumps!

Colossians 3:3  For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. I have been grappling with this issue of "hiding" for a while. My earnest prayer has been that I may be hidden in Christ. This has also meant I have needed to hide myself, sometimes reluctantly, sometimes deliberately, from pulls and pushes that separate me from Christ. Ravi, grapples with another issue of "hiddenness".  Almost the other extreme from my current position. While my current position is tending towards sensitiveness to God's presence, the other side of the coin would be the hiddenness of God. Why is God not obvious to so many people? For many He may be up there somewhere but certainly not in a realm where He is relevant to our day-to-day lives. For some He simply does not exist! That's it from me. It would be good for you to listen to Ravi now! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_dt9_iAhJI

"Even the weakest saint can experience the power of the deity of the Son of God, when he is willing to “let go.” But any effort to “hang on” to the least bit of our own power will only diminish the life of Jesus in us. We have to keep letting go, and slowly, but surely, the great full life of God will invade us, penetrating every part. Then Jesus will have complete and effective dominion in us, and people will take notice that we have been with Him."  Oswald Chambers in the devotional "My Utmost for His Highest". I have kept a little corner, in the quiet of my life, a place of stolen moments, for unwinding of my strife. I do not go there often, but I keep it safe and secure, its my little haven, where only one can venture! Since long there has been a restraint, a rightful one I must say, My Master tells me daily, That I can't keep on having my way. When every bit to Him I have given, To have His will I know, Then why do I keep this corner? W...

Weren't you there in Happy valley many years ago? I know that once your footsteps trod the land that's far to go, But from there have come these songs that touch our deepest chord, I believe when you were there, you must too have walked with God! Thank you Shillong Chamber choir for your uplifting and stirring songs. You definitely are my favorite choir. I take the liberty of sharing these in this blog. And here once again their humble story! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivMJUNZAS4Y

A Monster in Tip Toe! Anxiety and stress have their own subtle ways of coming into our lives. They seldom intrude as ominous creatures that hound us during our days, take away our sleep at night, perplex our minds and topple down our lives. In fact, they begin as nice things like desires, hopes, duties; the small demands and pleasures of life. Every day harmless things that weave neatly into the fabric of our lives. Many of these become necessities, few of these become aspirations. Soon the list of everyday things heap up; first a mound, then a hill and before long a mountain. Sometimes, as a small crack; a loss of composure and comfort; a small outburst, anger and finally we just fall apart…much like an earthquake, shaking away our very senses and defenses! There is a fine balance between what we can cope with and what we cannot. There are many things that we manage well: personal life, demands of work, social commitments and our aspirations. Our personal lives have relat...

Ringing, Deeply, is my clarion call. Sweeping,Shaking,Settling. Every other choice, is mine to deny. Willingly, yet with utmost difficulty..... I make my choice Seeking, strength beyond my means, Mustering HOPE, for all I leave behind, I FORSAKE, and for those I do it is a BETRAYAL. Yet, I make my choice I reach to the promises I have to keep, To my becoming of  a transcendental bridge, between the earthly and divine!
