Yoked to Jesus

“Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.” †  Mathew 11: 28-30  What is the labour and burden that Jesus is asking me to deal with? Perhaps I have to let go of the compulsive burden (or is it a sort of entitlement?) that my spouse and children should choose a spiritual path that I know to be right. Jesus accompanied Judas Iscariot to the very end but never deprived him of his freedom to choose his own destiny. Jesus on the other hand, uninterrupted by Judas's choice to reject him, continues to accomplish his mission. He does become a victim of Judas's betrayal but he seldom takes on the victim's identity. In divine wisdom, Jesus chooses to die in our place (and that of Judas) in a redeeming act of love. Rather than being compelled to fix those whom God has entrusted to my headship by m

Broken to give life!

When I love; I gain. When I'm broken I'm made strong. In my weakness you triumph. Despite this knowledge I fail. Help me Lord find my real essence, the true me. If i'm made like you, what is in me that is causing my inability to forgive. Where does these emotions come from? where does ego come from? Why do I feel betrayed, unaccepted and unloved. Why do I even want to be loved and accepted? You cried out from the cross "Father forgive, for they know not what they do". Did you not have emotions, ego and pain? How did you handle it? Was it your mission or your love unconditional or both that gave you strength? What is my mission, purpose and nature? It is to love unconditionally and be broken to nourish others like you did. I realize then how much more I must do this for the women of my life whom you gave me. I fight with You over the gift I have received from You. You could not have made a mistake. It is a perfect gift!. It is my imperfections that question t

Generous laughter and a life without agenda

It has always been an experience being with little children. Their innocence, simplicity, honesty, generous laughter and a life without an agenda. It is a perfect image of a child of God. As an adult, how do we loose these qualities. Is it our up bringing or the choices we make or both?  I'm a father now. It is up to me today to to walk by my children and help them choose what is worth so they preserve their innocence and simplicity and never let them loose it.

Statues and Images

God took the form of a human person. He had a form, shape and a face. Then why should I venerate him in vacuum.

Fathers' perfect will for me

Father, Your love for me is constant. My love for You is not. It totally depends on my mood and feelings. I feel differently at different times. I get hurt and I switch modes. I have negative feelings when things go against my will and expectations. Is the culprit then my will and my expectations or is it my emotions? For I know the plans I have for you, declared the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.  God's will is good, pleasing and perfect.  God, I know you have a perfect will for me. Do I need to have my own will then? If I join my will to Your will, do I need to expect at all? Cause you bring to fruition all things beyond my expectation. Emotions they respond to my deposition like a mirror. If I smile, she will smile back and if I frown she will do the same. To have my own will is a gift God has given me out of his great love and respect. Father may your will be done in my life and nothing more nothing less.

Why I didn’t do it.

But primarily, the most shocking fact I would ever dare to bring to your notice would be something I would never want to tell you for the want of the desired security expected when a man explains undesirable matters to a contingent that not likely to understand the matter explained in a way it should be understood, taking into consideration; the people concerned are exposed to denial of the rights when they want it the most.

Mickey mouse

Mickey mouse’s mind is menial and full of mist in the midst of all the meningeal menace. Even the most modern members of the Macedonian motherhood mock Mickey for miming mongoose every morning. Mockery of Mickey is menially mean, a mishap and a mammoth mind game. Mind you.
