Our Father, who art in heaven Hallowed be thy name Our Father hear us from heaven Forgive our sins we pray

 

*June 21 ,2026–Sunday 5.30 pm

Father’s Day…So many words about fathers everywhere.Gratitude, memories, messages.yes thankful to our earthly father. 

But that evening… sitting quietly in the last row … I was carrying many thoughts…

Choir was singing in English meeting. 

“Hear our prayer

We are Your children and 

we’ve gathered here today…”

Not strangers.

Children.

“Hear our cry

Lord, we need Your mercy and Your grace today…”

Not strong people.

Needy hearts.

Then heaven opened in one line—

“Our Father, who art in heaven

Hallowed be Thy name…”

That word—Father—

broke everything inside.

Distance disappeared.

Striving stopped.

Silence spoke.

“See our hearts and remove anything

That is standing in the way

Of coming to You today…”

And He did.

No noise.

No struggle.

Just His presence.

The desert within turned into a garden.

Tears became worship.

The heavy heart became light.

And the song kept rising—

“And though we are few

We’re surrounded by many who have crossed that river before…

Holy is the Lord…”

We are not alone.

We are part of something eternal.

Today, this is for you—

Not just a thought, not just a devotion…

A song to enter.

When words fail,

when thoughts are many,

when heart is tired—

Just come with this:

“Our Father…”

Sometimes,

the song becomes the answer.

🎵🎵

Hear our prayer
We are your children and we've gathered here today
We've gathered here to pray
Hear our cry
Lord we need your mercy and we need you grace today
Hear us as we pray


Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Our Father hear us from heaven
Forgive our sins we pray

Hear our song, as it rises to heaven
May your glory fill the earth as the waters cover the sea
See our hearts and remove anything
That is standing in the way
Of coming to u today!



And though we are few
We're sorrounded by many who have crossed that river before
And this is the song we'll be singing forever
Holy is the Lord x8

Song.. Don Moen

*There is an old saying: “The ground is level at the foot of the cross.”

No one stands higher. No one stands lower. No one has an advantage.

We come empty-handed.

Like the hymn says, “Nothing in my hands I bring, simply to Thy cross I cling.”

No goodness to prove. No past to hide. No status to claim.

At the cross, the sinner and the backslider stand side by side.

The broken, the ashamed, the forgotten—all find the same welcome.

Think of the centurion who stood there as Jesus died. A Roman officer, an outsider, a man far from the covenant. Yet in that moment, he saw what many religious people missed. At the cross, he found truth.

No classes.

No divisions.

No color.

No barriers.

Only grace.

The one who has lost everything…

The one who feels forsaken by all…

The one who thinks it’s too late—

There is still room at the cross.

“Just as I am.”

Not tomorrow. Not after fixing everything. Not when you feel worthy.

Now.

This is your day.

*Three times in Psalm 33, the psalmist repeats one truth: God’s unfailing love.

Not ordinary love. Not temporary love. But love that does not break, fade, or change.

“The earth is full of His unfailing love.” (v.5)

“His eyes are on those who hope in His unfailing love.” (v.18)

“May Your unfailing love be with us… as we put our hope in You.” (v.22)

Everything around us can fail.

Love from people can fail.

Plans can fail.

Health can fail.

But one thing never fails — God’s unfailing love.

In Psalm 63, David says, “Your unfailing love is better than life.”

Why would he say that? Because life itself is uncertain—but God’s love is not.

In Psalm 92, we are reminded it is good to proclaim this love every morning.

Why morning? Because every new day brings new uncertainties—but also a fresh assurance:

His love is still there. Still steady. Still unbroken.

God’s unfailing love is not based on our performance.

It is not shaken by our weakness.

It does not decrease when we fail.

Even when everything else collapses, this love stands firm.

So today, whether you are walking in joy or facing trials, remember this:

You are not held by your circumstances.

You are held by His unfailing love.

And that love… will never fail.

Sing with us

Thy loving kindness is better than life
Thy loving kindness is better than life
My lips shall praise Thee, thus will I bless Thee
I will lift up my hands unto Thy name

I lift my hands up unto Thy name
I lift my hands up unto Thy name
My lips shall praise Thee, thus will I bless Thee
I will lift up my hands unto Thy name

Blessed Day

*At the end of May month, i stood in a place many would overlook — Nazareth. Not the famous one in Israel, but a small, quiet place in South India. A place of prayer, fellowship, and worship. Yet the name echoes something eternal.

When Nathanael first heard about Jesus, he asked, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” It was a place people dismissed. No reputation. No significance. No expectation.

And yet… that is where Jesus lived.

Standing at that railway station named Nazareth, one truth becomes clear: God is not looking for important places. He is looking for willing hearts.

Nazareth was not known for greatness — until Jesus was there. Then it became forever known as the place where the Son of God lived, grew, and was revealed.

In the same way, a place, a family, or even a single life may seem unnoticed, ordinary, or insignificant. But when Jesus comes, everything changes. What was hidden becomes meaningful. What was ignored becomes glorious.

God often chooses the unnoticed places to display His greatest work.

So never measure your life, your home, or your calling by how the world sees it. If Jesus is present, that is enough. His presence turns the ordinary into something eternal.

Nazareth reminds us:

It’s not the place that makes it special —

it’s the presence of Jesus.

*That translation echoes the heart of 1 John 2:6 — “Whoever claims to live in Him must walk as Jesus did.”

Think about the road Jesus walked.

It was not a road of comfort, applause, or safety.

It was a road that moved toward people others avoided.

He walked toward the poor — not just with words, but with compassion.

He walked toward the needy — seeing interruptions as divine appointments.

He touched the leper — crossing boundaries society would never cross.

He welcomed sinners and sat with tax collectors — offering dignity before demanding change.

He searched for the lost — like a shepherd who refuses to give up.

And that road did not end in popularity.

It led to Calvary — the place of sacrifice, surrender, and love that gives everything.

To “abide in Jesus” is not just a quiet inner experience.

It is a direction of life.

It asks us gently but deeply:

Are our steps moving toward people… or away from them?

Do we choose comfort… or compassion?

Do we love only where it is easy… or also where it costs?

Walking as Jesus walked does not always mean doing great things.

Often, it means taking the next small step in His direction — toward someone hurting, forgotten, or overlooked.

The road is the same.

The question is — are our feet on it?

*Years ago, I travelled to a remote village in South India. No proper roads. Small huts. Life was hard. People worked long hours in the fields just to survive.

That evening, after a full day of labor, a few people gathered for a simple prayer meeting. The electricity was weak—just a dim light flickering in the room. Nothing impressive outwardly… but heaven was near.

In that quiet moment, a young woman suddenly began to cry deeply. Not ordinary tears—this was a burden poured out before God.

When I gently asked, I understood: six years of marriage, no child. Too poor to even go to a hospital. Humanly speaking—no hope.

But she was not speaking to man. She was crying out to Jesus.

In that moment, I was reminded of Hannah in 1 Samuel 1:10 —

“In her deep anguish Hannah prayed to the Lord, weeping bitterly.”

God saw Hannah. And that evening, I knew—God was seeing this young woman too.

Months later, a phone call came. Her prayer was answered.  she delivered 2 children ( twins) —one boy and one girl. !!!!

What happened in that dimly lit room?

No stage. No microphone. No human solution.

But a living Saviour heard.

Jesus is not distant. He is compassionate. He is near to the broken. He still answers cries that come from a sincere heart.

Are you carrying a burden today?

Something no one else understands?

Something beyond your ability?

Don’t stay silent. Don’t give up.

Like Hannah… pour it out before Him.

Because the same Jesus who heard that young woman… still listens today.

13th MAY 2026

**This morning I went to a house, and as I stood there, my eyes fell on a simple framed picture on the wall.

It wasn’t something grand or complicated—just flowers and a few lines. But in that moment, those words spoke deeply:

“God cares about every detail of your life…”

Sometimes we move through the day carrying quiet exhaustion—physically, mentally, even spiritually. No one may notice it. We keep going, doing what we must. But that small picture reminded me: God notices what others don’t.

“He collects every tear in a bottle” (Psalm 56:8).

Every tear you never explained… every burden you silently carried… none of it is lost before Him.

“He numbers every hair on your head” (Luke 12:7).

That means His care is not general—it is personal. Detailed. Intentional. Your life is not overlooked.

“He knows every hurt in your heart” (Psalm 34:18).

Even the pain you cannot put into words, He understands fully. And not from a distance—He is near to the brokenhearted.

Standing there, in that house, before an ordinary frame, God gave an extraordinary reminder:

You are seen. You are known. You are cared for.

When you feel tired, remember—God is not asking you to be strong alone. He is gently reminding you that He is already holding every detail of your life.

Blessed day

This summer, in the heat and weariness, God arranged a quiet place- a place of beauty and rest.

 After months of seeing someone close to me go through sickness, the heart was already grieved, searching, and longing.

Then came the room allotment: Room 107.Thanks to God!!!!!! 

*(https://wordfromjesus.blogspot.com/2020/11/in-psalm-107-we-read-history-of-people.html?m=1)  Blog ( posted) November 25, 2020

Not just a number—but when the eyes lifted to the name on the board, it read: Gilead.

Gilead… the place spoken of in Scripture. A place known for healing. A place of balm.

“Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there?” — Jeremiah 8:22

In that moment, it didn’t feel like coincidence. It felt like a gentle whisper from the Sovereign God—an assurance. The same God who sees, who knows, who heals.

Gilead reminds us that God has not left His people without hope. There is balm. There is a Physician.

Jesus Christ is our healer—more than a doctor for the body, He is the restorer of the soul. His touch is not limited by place, time, or condition. His Word carries healing.

“He sent out His word and healed them…” — Psalm 107:20

Even the room number quietly echoes that promise—107—as if God was underlining His Word: I still send My Word. I still heal.

The balm of Gilead points to something deeper—the precious blood of Christ, shed with love, bringing restoration, cleansing, and life.

Today, whatever the sickness, burden, or hidden pain may be—there is still balm. There is still healing in Him.

This moment… even now… His healing touch is near.

Last week, during travel, I captured a simple flower on my ordinary phone. Nothing special in the device… yet the beauty was extraordinary. The design, the colors, the quiet splendor—it spoke without words.

Then the words of Jesus in Gospel of Matthew 6 came alive:

“Look at the lilies of the field… even King Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these.”

Solomon—the richest, wisest king. Yet Jesus says even Solomon cannot match a simple flower that God clothes for a day.

What does that mean for us?

If God gives such attention to a flower that blooms and fades, how much more will He care for you?

Jesus brings the answer clearly in Matthew 6:33:

“Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”

So the message is simple:

Don’t carry the burden of worry.

Don’t be anxious about tomorrow.

Look at the flower—and remember your Father.

There is relief in this truth.

God takes care. You can rest.

And from that rest, a new song rises—

not from effort, but from trust. 🎶

Iniyum ange kaanem Iniyum ange kelkanem Iniyum ange ariyem Priyane Yeshuve..

 

April 30,Thursday 2026

Morning came with tiredness… heavy body, hot climate… heart not very eager. Still, I went for prayer meeting. 

Few people… simple worship… nothing big. But as the song began—

“I want to see You again Lord…

 on earth I desire but You…”

I sensed something within… a quiet thirst.

ഇനിയും അങ്ങേ കാണേണം
ഇനിയും അങ്ങേ കേൾക്കണം
ഇനിയും അങ്ങേ അറിയേണം
പ്രിയനേ യേശുവേ

ഉലകിൽ വേറൊന്നും വേണ്ടായേ
ഉയരേ വേറാരും ഇല്ലായേ
ഉയിരേകിയ യേശുവല്ലാതെ
ഉയിരിൽ വേറാരും ഇല്ലായേ

ദാഹിക്കുന്നപ്പാ വാഞ്ചിക്കുന്നപ്പാ
കൊതിയെന്നിൽ ഏറിടുന്നേ
ആഴിയിൻ ആഴം എൻ ആത്മാവിൻ ദാഹം
നന്നായി അറിയുന്നോനെ

ഉലകിൽ വേറൊന്നും വേണ്ടായേ
ഉയരേ വേറാരും ഇല്ലായേ
ഉയിരേകിയ യേശുവല്ലാതെ
ഉയിരിൽ വേറാരും ഇല്ലായേ

നിൻ സ്നേഹം നദിപോലെ
ഉയരും തിര പോലെ
എരിയും അഗ്നിജ്വാല പോലെ

Iniyum ange kaanem
Iniyum ange kelkanem
Iniyum ange ariyem
Priyane Yeshuve

Ulakil veroṇṇum vendaye
Uyare verarum illaye
Uyirekiya Yeshuvallathe
Uyiril verarum illaye

Dahikkunnappa vaanchikkunnappa
Kothiyennil eridunne
Azhiyin azham en aathmavin daaham
Nannayi ariyunnone

Ulakil veroṇṇum vendaye
Uyare verarum illaye
Uyirekiya Yeshuvallathe
Uyiril verarum illaye

Nin sneham nadipole
Uyarum thira pole
Eriyum agnijwala pole
Ullile thee unarthi

Like the deer in Psalm 42:1, my soul was longing—not for rest, not for comfort, but for Him.

This world gives many things… but they never satisfy. The more we receive, the more we feel empty.

But Jesus… He is different.

In the dryness, He becomes an oasis.

In the wilderness, water flows from the Rock.

Slowly, my tiredness turned into freshness… heaviness into peace.

No outward change… but inside, a gentle joy.

And once again I knew—

Nothing in this world can satisfy like Jesus.

He alone is the never-ending fountain.

He alone is my life.

*In the Garden of Eden, when Adam and Eve sinned, they ran and hid behind the trees. Fear replaced fellowship. Shame covered their hearts, and they tried to cover themselves with leaves.

God asked, “Where are you?” — a call of love, a call to return.

Even today, many hide behind their own “trees” — good works, excuses, self-effort, or religious activity. But leaves can never truly cover sin.

God’s answer was not another tree in the garden…

It was a tree on Calvary.

The Bible says, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree.” Jesus took that curse upon Himself. On that Cross, He bore our shame, our guilt, and our sin.

We don’t have to hide anymore.

When we come to the Cross, something beautiful happens: Our sins are washed away.

Our shame is removed.

And God clothes us—not with leaves—but with garments of righteousness.

The song that was lost in Eden… is restored at Calvary.

So today, don’t hide. 

Don’t run.

Come out from behind the trees.

Come to the Cross.

Stand before the crucified Christ.

And hear His voice again:

“You are forgiven. You are restored. You are Mine.”

 From Jude, a loving servant of Jesus, the Anointed One, and brother of Jacob. I’m writing to the chosen ones who are wrapped in the love of Father God—kept and guarded for Jesus, the Messiah. Jude 1:1 TPT

When a newborn baby enters the world, one of the first things a nurse does is gently wrap the baby in a soft cloth. That wrapping is not just for warmth—it gives the baby a sense of security, comfort, and protection. The baby feels safe… held… at peace.

In the same way, God has wrapped us in His love.

This is not a temporary covering. It is not based on our performance. It is His choice—His grace. Before we could understand Him, before we could respond to Him, He wrapped us in His love.

Through Jesus Christ, we are not just saved—we are held, guarded, and kept. His love surrounds us on every side. When fears rise, His love is still there. When life feels uncertain, His love does not loosen.

What a privilege…

What a security…

What a peace beyond words…

Today, whatever you are facing, remember this:  you are not alone—you are wrapped in the love of the Father.

Rest in it. Live from it. Thank Him for it.

“Lord, thank You for wrapping me in Your love. Let me live today in the security and peace of being held by You. Amen.”

When Love Calls Your Name

 

*On that resurrection morning, Mary Magdalene did not hear a sermon. She did not receive a long teaching. She simply heard her name—spoken by the risen Jesus Christ.

“Mary.”

In that one word, everything changed.

Her fear disappeared.

Her grief melted away.

Her wounded heart was healed.

This is the power of a personal Savior. When God whispers your name, it is not just a sound—it is restoration. It is identity. It is love calling you back to life.

At the tomb, everything looked empty:

An empty cross

An empty tomb

And a once empty heart

But resurrection turned emptiness into fullness. The empty tomb became the birthplace of hope. The empty heart was filled with unshakable joy.

Mary didn’t stay there. She ran.

She ran to a broken world—to people with wounded hearts, carrying one message:

Jesus is alive. Love has won.

Today, the same Jesus calls your name. 

You need to hear His voice.

And when you do, you will rise—

to carry His love into a hurting world.

“Go… and tell them.” (John 20:17)

Let His resurrection become your message.

*selected

The Lord is My Shepherd

 

Two disciples walked from Jerusalem to Emmaus—heavy-hearted, confused, and disappointed. The cross had shattered their expectations. But in their brokenness, Jesus Himself came near and walked with them.

Like a true Shepherd, He led them gently—not first by changing their situation, but by opening the Scriptures. He brought them into the green pastures of His Word, where their hearts slowly began to live again.

They were walking through a valley of shadows—a place of grief and uncertainty. Yet the Light of the world was beside them. Even when their eyes were restrained, Jesus became their light in the darkness.

Step by step, He guided them into the paths of righteousness for His Name’s sake, correcting their thoughts and revealing God’s greater plan through the suffering of Christ.

When they reached their destination, they invited Him in. At the table, He took bread, blessed it, broke it—and their eyes were opened. In that moment, He prepared a table before them, and their hearts overflowed with joy.

Immediately, they rose and returned to Jerusalem. The same road that once carried sorrow now carried hope. Truly,  goodness and mercy followed them on their return journey.

And soon, they were found again—not alone, but with the other disciples, in His presence—where they would remain, rejoicing in the risen Lord forever.

 

*Obstacle to Resting Place 

The women going to Jesus’ tomb asked,

“Who will roll away the stone?” (Mark 16:3)

It was a real problem. The stone was too big for them.

But when they reached… the stone was already rolled away.

And something beautiful—

that stone didn’t just move… it became a resting place for the angel.

At that time there was a strong earthquake. An angel of the Lord came down from heaven, went to the tomb, and rolled the stone away from the entrance. Then he sat on the stone. Matthew 28:2

What was an obstacle… became a place of God’s presence.

 For Us Today we all have “stones” in life—

Jesus can turn it into a resting place.. 

Believe....... 

*selected

 

*What is our life?

It is not random… it is rehearsal.

Every day, every moment—joy, pain, waiting, silence—God is tuning us like an instrument. High notes, low notes, even pauses… all are needed for a perfect heavenly orchestra.

Think of the songs that have carried generations: Fanny Crosby wrote Blessed Assurance—though blind, she saw Jesus more clearly than many. John Newton wrote Amazing Grace—a man once lost, now redeemed. Charles Wesley wrote Jesus, Lover of My Soul—a heart burning with devotion.

They were not just writing songs… they were preparing for eternity.

And you—yes, you—are part of that choir.

The struggles you face today are not wasted. God is shaping your voice, refining your tone, teaching you dependence. Even your silence is meaningful. “Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10).

One day, you will stand before Jesus… face to face. No more brokenness, no more tears—only worship.

Revelation 5:11–12 shows a great multitude singing together. And your voice will be there.

So don’t be discouraged.

Let the preparation continue. Let your life become a song.

Because … you will sing before Almighty God..

*In Luke 23:26, we see a man pulled from the crowd—Simon of Cyrene. He didn’t plan this. He didn’t pray for this. He didn’t even understand this moment.

He came to offer a sacrifice… but instead, he encountered the Lamb of God—Jesus Christ—being sacrificed for him.

The cross he carried was not his choice.

It was not his plan.

It was not his timing.

Yet, it became his turning point.

Sometimes life feels the same.

“Why am I here?”

“Why did this happen?”

“Why this burden, this pain, this delay?”

Like Simon, you may feel forced into a situation you never asked for. But heaven sees differently. What feels like interruption is often divine appointment.

Simon carried the cross for a short distance… but that moment carried eternal impact. His family was touched—his son Rufus is later honored in Scripture, and his household became known among believers.

Even Paul the Apostle speaks of Rufus and his mother with deep affection—as family.

What changed?

One unexpected moment with Jesus.

Today, your “cross” may feel heavy. Unplanned. Unfair.

But God is writing a deeper story.. 

🙏Lord, in the crosses I did not choose, help me to see Your hand. Give me strength to carry, grace to trust, and eyes to recognize that You are near. Turn my confusion into calling, and my burden into blessing. Amen.

Sometimes life teaches us powerful lessons through simple scenes we see on the road.

A few years ago, while riding my two-wheeler, I passed by a well-known furniture showroom. One day I saw something heartbreaking. The building was still standing, but everything inside had been burned. What once displayed beautiful furniture had become a heap of ashes. The place looked silent, empty, and hopeless. It felt like the end of the story.

But after a few days, I noticed a small board placed near the building:

“We are coming back.”

Those three words carried hope.

Soon workers arrived. Renovation started. Slowly the broken place began to change. Walls were repaired, the interior rebuilt, and new furniture was brought in. Months later, the same place became a brand-new showroom—more beautiful than before.

Every time I passed by, I felt God teaching something deep in my heart.

If human beings can rebuild a burned shop…

If people can turn ashes into something beautiful again…

How much more can God do with our lives?

Sometimes our lives also look like that burned showroom—dreams destroyed, hearts broken, hopes lost, and everything looking like ashes.

But the Bible reminds us not to stop at the ashes.

In Book of Psalms 42:11, the psalmist speaks to his own soul:

“Why are you cast down, O my soul? Hope in God.”

And in Book of Jeremiah 18, God shows the prophet a potter working with clay. When the vessel was spoiled, the potter did not throw the clay away. He reshaped it again into something new and beautiful.

That is our God.

He is the Master Potter.

He is the Restorer of broken lives.

He specializes in rebuilding what seems beyond repair.

So if today your life feels like a heap of ashes, remember this:

God can place a sign over your life that says,

“I am coming back.”

And in His hands, your story is not finished yet.

 

Jacob lay down with a stone for a pillow, alone in the wilderness. Yet that lonely night became the place of a heavenly ladder.

Hagar cried in the burning desert, feeling abandoned. But God met her there and opened her eyes to a spring of water.

Elijah collapsed under a broom tree, exhausted and wishing to die. Yet God gently woke him with bread, water, and a whisper of hope.

Two discouraged disciples walked the dusty road to Emmaus, trying to escape their shattered expectations. But the risen Jesus walked beside them and turned their sorrow into burning joy.

The disciples returned to fishing after failure. All night they caught nothing. Yet at dawn Jesus stood on the shore with a fire and breakfast prepared.

Paul the Apostle stood in the middle of a storm and shipwreck, when all hope seemed lost. But God sent assurance: “Take courage.”

And the lost son in the story told by Jesus Christ was welcomed not at home, but on the road—with a father running, embracing, and kissing him.

God often appears in unexpected places—

in deserts, under trees, on lonely roads, in storms, and on empty seashores.

Maybe today feels like one of those places for you.

But today may also be a day of visitation.

A word.

A quiet assurance.

An unexpected answer.

“Surely the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it.” (Genesis 28:16)

Expect Him today.

The God who met them there…

meet you today too. 

Rest in fathers Arms.. Script and video.

 

"Rest in the Father’s Arms” 

This morning around 9 AM near KR Puram railway station and metro in Bengaluru, everything was moving fast.

Crowds rushing… people running… noise everywhere.

It felt like a picture of our modern life — busy, pressured, always moving.

But in the middle of that rush, I noticed something beautiful.

A small baby girl was sleeping peacefully on her father’s shoulder.

While the whole world around was noisy and restless, she was completely quiet… safe… resting.

Immediately this verse came to my heart:

“But I have calmed and quieted myself,

I am like a weaned child with its mother;

like a weaned child I am content.”

— Psalm 131:2

Content. Secure. Peaceful.

This is what God desires for you and me today.

Not laziness.

Not escaping responsibilities.

But inner rest.

In a world that is temporary, noisy, and demanding, our Heavenly Father invites us to lean on His bosom — the Almighty, the Creator and Sustainer of the universe.

Like that little child on her father’s shoulder,

we can rest in our Heavenly Daddy’s arms.

Work may be busy.

Life may be heavy.

But your heart can still be quiet.

Today, if these words speak to you, pause for a moment and simply whisper:

“Thank You, Jesus.”

Rest in Him.

Trust Him.

Let your soul become quiet in His presence.

May you experience a blessed day of rest in the midst of a busy world. 🙏✨

 

The Real Legacy

When I asked in a small meeting, “Which incident first comes to your mind when you think of John the apostle?”

The answer came immediately: He was leaning on the bosom of Jesus.

Not his writings.

Not miracles.

Not his ministry.

But his closeness to Jesus.

In Gospel of John 13:23, we see a beautiful picture:

"One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was reclining next to Him."

That became his identity.

A man who rested on the heart of Jesus.

When our life on earth is over, what will remain as our legacy?

Not money.

Not property.

Not branded cars.

Not certificates or medals.

Those things fade away.

But small acts of love remain forever.

A visit to someone who was lonely.

A phone call when someone was discouraged.

A small help in time of need.

Even a gentle smile.

Jesus said in Gospel of Matthew 10:42:

"If anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones… he will certainly not lose his reward."

Heaven remembers what the world forgets.

So today, let us take one small step:

Show love. Encourage someone. Help someone. Call someone.

Because in the end,

the real inheritance we leave behind is love.

*High Time to Turn to God

The Bible often speaks about “the hour” — a moment when God calls people to wake up spiritually.

John the Baptist began his ministry with a strong cry:

“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.” (Matthew 3:2)

Soon after, Jesus Christ preached the same message:

“The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe the gospel.” (Mark 1:15)

Later, Paul the Apostle warned believers:

“And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber.” — Romans 13:11

Throughout Scripture, God reminds us that time is moving forward. The door of grace is open now, but one day it will close.

Today the world is busy, distracted, and spiritually asleep. But the urgent need of this hour is repentance — turning our hearts back to God.

Repentance is not just feeling sorry.

It is turning from sin and returning to God with all our heart.

The prophet Joel cried:

“Return to Me with all your heart.” — Joel 2:12

Today the Lord is still calling.

The door of mercy is open, but the time is short.

Lord Jesus,Wake my heart in this hour.

If there is anything in me that is not pleasing to You,

I repent and turn back to You.

Keep my life ready for Your coming.

Amen.

*Pink Seasons & Purposeful Lives 🌸

February and March 2026—Bengaluru is covered in pink.

Roads slow down. Heads lift up. The soft blossoms of Tabebuia rosea turn ordinary streets into moments of wonder.

But this beauty did not begin today.

In the 1980s, as the city expanded, many trees were cut down. At that time, one Indian Forest Service officer—Seturam Gopalrao Neginhal—made a decision. He chose not to complain, but to plant.

With vision and patience, he focused especially on Tabebuia rosea. In just five years, 1.5 million trees were planted.

Decades later, we are enjoying what he sowed.

The Bible says:

A man reaps what he sows.” (Galatians 6:7)

This is not only about trees—it is about life.

Every act of love, every prayer, every faithful step taken for God may feel small today, but generations will enjoy its fruit.

So when you see pink flowers this season, let them ask you a question:

What am I sowing with my life?

Am I living meaningfully—or merely mechanically?

Jesus calls us to lives of purpose, not routine. One step of obedience, one act of kindness, one seed sown for God and mankind can change the future.

Jesus, help me live a meaningful life. Teach me to sow faithfully, even when I may not see the harvest. Let my life bring beauty, shade, and blessing to others. Use me for Your glory. Amen.

🌸 When you see the pink, remember your purpose.

Breakfast of Grace

 

*All night Peter labored. ( John 21) 

Strong arms, seasoned skill, familiar waters — yet not even one fish.Empty nets often lead to empty hearts.

But failure at night does not cancel grace in the morning.At dawn, someone stood on the shore.

Not with accusation. Not with reminders of denial.

Just a simple voice: “Friends, have you any fish?”

An abundance was waiting — not only for the boat, but for the heart.

A charcoal fire.

Bread already laid.

This was more than breakfast.

It was love served warm.

Mercy without explanation.

Kindness without conditions.

Restoration without humiliation.

Peter denied Jesus near a fire.

Now Jesus restores Peter near a fire.

Grace always meets us where we fell —

but it never leaves us where we failed.

After the nets were full, Jesus did not ask about the fish.

He did not ask about the past.

He asked one question — the most important one:

“Do you love Me?”

Not “Are you qualified?”

Not “Are you strong?”

Not “Will you never fail again?”

Just — love.

Today, you may feel like Peter:

tired, discouraged, empty after a long night.

But hear this: Jesus is already on the shore.

Your abundance may not be in the boat yet —

but it is waiting in His presence.

Come.

Sit by the fire.

Receive the breakfast of grace.

“Lord, You know all things. You know that I love You.”

When Life Feels Colorless

Many people say these days, “My life is not colorful.”

Routine. Boredom. No joy in the heart. No clear purpose. Just mechanical living.

Think about Noah.He was not living in colorful times.The world around him was dark, violent, and corrupt.For months, he was shut inside an ark—no scenery, no music, no freedom, only obedience.

Yet Noah was in the will of God.And when the storm passed, God painted the sky with a rainbow—seven colors.

What looked like the most confined season became the most meaningful one.

Here is the truth: Colorfulness does not come from circumstances.

It comes from a Person.

That Person is Jesus Christ.

Before Jesus entered my life, it was dark.But His presence brought light.His promises brought hope.His glory brought meaning.

If you are reading this in a difficult season—

Feeling empty, tired, or dull inside—remember this:

🌈 One second is enough.

One moment of turning your heart toward Him.

Connect again with the Source.

Jesus Christ is the Light of the world.

When the Light enters, colors return.

Not always around you—but always within you.

 🙏Lord Jesus,When my life feels routine and colorless,

I turn again to You.

You are my Light, my Joy, my Purpose.

Step into my darkness today.

Let Your presence repaint my heart

with hope, peace, and quiet joy.

Amen.

 

*Elijah once ran ahead of the powerful chariot of Ahab. It was not human strength—it was the hand of the Lord upon him. Later, the same prophet was not carried by horses of earth, but taken up by chariots of fire from heaven. When God empowers the run, He also determines the finish.

Philip walked beside the chariot of the Ethiopian eunuch, led by the Spirit. Philip did not plan the encounter; he obeyed it. And when the work was done, the Spirit lifted him away. Spirit-led running always ends in divine direction and supernatural fruit.

But Gehazi also ran—behind the chariot of Naaman. His feet were fast, but his heart was wrong. He ran for money, position, and gain—and his running ended in loss. 

Today, the prayer of the heart is this:

Lord Jesus,

Let me run ahead when Your hand is upon me, like Elijah.Lift me up in Your time and Your glory.

Lead me to people in need, like Philip—ready to speak, ready to obey.

And guard my heart, that I may never run like Gehazi—chasing money, position, or the world.

Let my running be by the Spirit,my direction be by Your voice,and my finish be in Your presence.Amen.

The Song That Outlived the Singer

(Psalms 50,73-83) 

Asaph was not just a musician—he was a man deeply devoted to God.

He wrote twelve psalms and was appointed by King David to minister before the Lord with praise. A Levite, the son of Berechiah, and called a seer, Asaph saw God not only with his eyes but with his heart.

He loved God sincerely. His songs were not performances; they were expressions of devotion. From the depths of his soul he could say,

“Whom have I in heaven but You? And earth has nothing I desire besides You.” (Psalm 73:25)

That one verse reveals everything—God was Asaph’s highest treasure.

And here is the powerful result of such devotion:

His worship did not end with his life.

Ezra records that the sons of Asaph—128 musicians—returned from exile to serve in God’s house (Ezra 2:41). When the foundation of the second temple was laid, it was the sons of Asaph who stood and sang, praising the Lord (Ezra 3:10).

Why them?

Because when Asaph lived, he sang for God.

When Asaph lived, he loved God above all else.

Devotion creates legacy.

Private love becomes public praise.

What you sincerely offer to God today can echo through generations.

If you and I truly love God—if we worship Him not just with songs but with surrendered hearts—our children and our children’s children will praise the same God, here on earth and forever in eternity.

May our lives sing—even after we are gone.

Glory to God.

 

Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.Philippians 1:6 

Paul begins with gratitude, not because everything was perfect, but because God was still at work. Behind that thanksgiving is a deep confidence: God sees what we cannot yet see—the finished portrait.

When an artist begins a painting, the early strokes can look messy. Colors clash. Lines seem meaningless. But the artist already sees the final image. We judge by the present situation; God works from the finished vision.

You may feel pain today. Unanswered questions. Delays. Pressure.
But hear this: the painting is not over.
The pot is still on the wheel—the Potter’s hands haven’t left you.
The gold is still in the fire—not to destroy it, but to reveal its purity.
On God’s palette, even dark colors have a purpose.

Every situation—even you may not understand—is being used to draw you closer to Him.

Look at how Jesus saw people:

Peter wasn’t just a fisherman—Jesus saw a fisher of men.
Paul wasn’t just a persecutor—God saw an apostle to the Gentiles.
David wasn’t just a shepherd—God saw a king after God's own heart.
In Joseph, He saw a deliverer before the prison doors opened.
In the Samaritan woman, He saw a carrier of living water.
In Mary Magdalene, He saw hope standing where despair once ruled.
And in you, God sees the finished portrait of His Son.

God always works toward one goal:
to form in us the finished image of His Son.
So wait. Trust. And thank God—even now.
The work is going on.
And the portrait will be beautiful.

From Long Suffering to Living Hope

*In the city of Jerusalem, (John 5)near the Sheep Gate, lay a pool surrounded by broken people—forsaken, sick, diseased, suffering masses. Among them was one man who had been there for 38 long years. Almost four decades of pain. Decades of waiting. His tears had dried up. Hope had silently slipped away.

He was like someone lying outside a hospital ward—no doctor, no nurse, no medicine, no care. When Jesus asked him, “Do you want to be made well?” his answer was heartbreaking:

“Sir,  I have no one.”

No one to help him. No one to carry him. No one to remember him.

Thirty-eight years of darkness—but then Light walked in.

Jesus did not stir the water. He did not ask for history. He spoke eight powerful words:

“Get up, take up your bed, and walk.”

That single word ended decades of suffering. Strength entered weak legs. Hope replaced despair. The man rose—carrying what once carried him.

And where do we find him next?

In the temple.

Worship followed healing. Gratitude followed grace.

Are you the one who has suffered for years?

Long sickness. Long waiting. Long loneliness.

Hear this today: one visitation, one word from Jesus can change everything.

Jesus is speaking even now through His Word. 

Get up. Walk. Your suffering does not have the final word.

Amen.

From Dry Wells to Living Water

*Samaritan woman( John 4) had a history of failed relationships—one after another—each promising fulfillment, each ending in disappointment. She is hoping for a real one that last forever,something that would satisfy the desire within her. 

One ordinary day, she went to a well to draw water, carrying not just a jar, but a thirsty heart. She was looking for water. But at that well, she encountered Living Water.

Jesus didn’t speak first about her past, her mistakes, or the place of worship. He spoke to her thirst. In one conversation, a lifetime of emptiness was exposed—and healed. This relationship surpassed all the others. Unlike the people who left her dry, Jesus promised a relationship that would endure, satisfy, and overflow.

Suddenly, the place of worship was no longer important—the Person was. Dryness turned into a flowing river. Shame turned into worship. And near that same well, a new worshipper was born.

Today, the question is not about your location, your history, or your failures.

The question is simple:

Are you dry? Thirsty? Lonely?

If so, start a conversation with Jesus—right now.

Not religion. Not rituals But Relationship.

Let the river flow.

*From Night to Light

Nicodemus was a Pharisee, a ruler of the Jews—learned in Scripture, a teacher of the law. He had spoken God’s Word to many, yet one night he came quietly to Jesus.  Jesus welcomed him. Any time is accessible to Jesus.

That night, a teacher stood face to face with the Word made flesh. Nicodemus came wrapped in darkness, yet found himself standing in the radiant presence of the Light of the World. He was not far from the kingdom of God—standing at the very gate, one honest surrender away.

Like Nicodemus, we come to Jesus just as we are.

We bring our doubts, like Thomas.

Our fears, like Joseph of Arimathea.

Our shame, like the woman caught in adultery.

Our questions, like Nicodemus.

And Jesus meets us all—without rejection, without delay.

Jesus meets us in the night we once loved,in the shadows where we hid.

Thank You, Jesus, that You met me in my darkness.I loved the night, but You rescued me with Your light.

Lord, where there is darkness, make me a beacon of Your light.

Where questions remain, let truth shine.And where hearts come quietly seeking,may they find You waiting—full of grace and glory.

​ദൈവം കൂടെയുണ്ട് (God Is Not Absent)

​നമ്മൾ തളർന്നിരിക്കുമ്പോഴോ, രോഗാവസ്ഥയിലോ, വിഷമഘട്ടങ്ങളിലോ കൂടെയുണ്ടാകുമെന്ന് കരുതിയവർ ചിലപ്പോൾ അടുത്തില്ലെന്നു വരാം. അത് നമ്മെ വേദനിപ്പിച്ചേക്കാം, പക്ഷേ അവർ നമ്മെ ഉപേക്ഷിച്ചു എന്ന് അതിനർത്ഥമില്ല. അവർ മനുഷ്യരാണ്, എന്നാൽ ദൈവം അങ്ങനെയല്ല.

​യാത്രയിൽ പകച്ചുനിന്ന മോശെയോട് ദൈവം മരുഭൂമി മാറ്റിക്കൊടുക്കാം എന്നല്ല പറഞ്ഞത്, പകരം ഒരു വാഗ്ദാനം നൽകുകയാണ് ചെയ്തത്:
​"എന്റെ സാന്നിധ്യം നിന്റെ കൂടെ വരും, ഞാൻ നിനക്ക് ആശ്വാസം നൽകും" (പുറപ്പാട് 33:14).
​

ദൈവം നമുക്ക് വിശദീകരണങ്ങളോ കുറുക്കുവഴികളോ അല്ല നൽകുന്നത്, പകരം തന്റെ സാന്നിധ്യമാണ് നൽകുന്നത്.

​യേശുവും നമുക്ക് ഇതേ ഉറപ്പാണ് നൽകുന്നത്. നമ്മുടെ ഏകാന്തതയിൽ അവിടുന്ന് മാറിനിൽക്കുന്നില്ല; നമ്മുടെ ബലഹീനതയിൽ അവിടുന്ന് പിന്മാറുന്നില്ല. അവിടുന്ന് പറയുന്നു: "ലോകാവസാനം വരെ എല്ലാനാളും ഞാൻ നിങ്ങളോടുകൂടെയുണ്ട്" (മത്തായി 28:20).

​"ദൈവം കൂടെയില്ല, ഞാൻ ഒറ്റയ്ക്കാണ്" എന്ന് നിങ്ങളുടെ മനസ്സ് മന്ത്രിക്കുന്നുണ്ടെങ്കിൽ, അതിനുള്ള മറുപടി ഇതാണ്: അല്ല, അവിടുന്ന് കൂടെയുണ്ട്.

​യേശു ജീവിക്കുന്നതുകൊണ്ട് നിങ്ങളും ജീവിക്കും. അവിടുത്തെ സാന്നിധ്യം നിങ്ങളുടെ ശക്തിയെയോ വികാരങ്ങളെയോ മറ്റുള്ളവരുടെ സാമീപ്യത്തെയോ ആശ്രയിച്ചല്ല ഇരിക്കുന്നത്.
​നിങ്ങൾക്ക് തനിച്ചാണെന്ന് തോന്നിയേക്കാം—

പക്ഷേ നിങ്ങൾ ഒരിക്കലും ഉപേക്ഷിക്കപ്പെട്ടിട്ടില്ല.
​അവിടുത്തെ സാന്നിധ്യം നിങ്ങളോടൊപ്പമുണ്ട്. ആ സാന്നിധ്യം നിങ്ങൾക്ക് വിശ്രമവും സമാധാനവും നൽകുന്നു.

​അനുഗൃഹീതമായ ഒരു ദിനം ആശംസിക്കുന്നു!
​

 

God Is Not Absent. 

There are moments when people we expected are absent—during sickness, depression, discouragement, or when life feels like sinking waters. Their absence may hurt, but it does not mean abandonment. They are human. God is not.

When Moses stood overwhelmed by the journey ahead, the Lord did not remove the wilderness—He gave a promise:

“My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest” (Exodus 33:14).

Not explanations. Not shortcuts. Presence.

Jesus echoes that same assurance to us. In our loneliness, He does not step back. In our weakness, He does not withdraw. He says, “I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:20).

If today a voice whispers, “God is absent. I am alone,” this devotion answers back: No. He is present.

Because Jesus lives, you will also live (John 14:19). His presence is not dependent on your strength, your feelings, or others staying near.

You may feel alone—but you are never abandoned.

His presence goes with you. His presence gives you rest.

Blessed Day! 

Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Matthew 6:26

 

Thousands of migratory Rosy Starlings have arrived in Tamil Nadu's Thoothukudi district, specifically in Perungulam and along the Thamirabarani river belt, during January 2026..(news) 

*Even the stork in the sky knows her appointed seasons, and the dove, the swift and the thrush observe the time of their migration..." (Jeremiah 8:7)

​The Journey: 6,000 Kilometers of Instinct
​Every year, the Rosy Starlings (Rose Mainas) perform a feat that seems impossible. They leave the freezing grasslands of Kazakhstan and Russia, crossing the towering, snow-capped mountains of Afghanistan and Pakistan, and flying over the vast deserts of Rajasthan, until they finally land in the green fields and salt pans of Thoothukudi.

​They travel over 6,000 kilometers. They face storms, predators, and exhaustion. They don't have a map in their hands, but they have a compass in their hearts—a God-given instinct that tells them exactly where to go and when to move.

​The Reflection: Three Lessons from the Rose Maina
​1. Respecting the Seasons
The Rose Maina knows when its time in the north is over. It doesn’t cling to a place that has become too cold for it to survive. In our lives, we often face seasons of change. Like these birds, there is wisdom in recognizing when one chapter is ending and a new journey is beginning. We are reminded that there is a time and a purpose for every season under heaven, and moving forward is part of a grander design

​2. The Miracle of the fellowship
When they arrive in Thoothukudi, they don't live in isolation. They gather in thousands, forming a murmuration. In this swirling cloud, each bird watches only the seven neighbors closest to it. They don’t try to manage the whole flock; they just stay in sync with those right next to them.
​This is a powerful picture of community. We aren't meant to carry the weight of the world alone. When we focus on supporting those immediately around us—our family, friends, and neighbors—we create a collective strength that protects us from life's predators and creates something beautiful that no one could achieve alone.

​3. Confidence in the Invisible Path
The most amazing part of their route is that they fly over landscapes they have never seen before, yet they arrive at the exact same destination year after year. They fly with a built-in confidence.

​If you are facing a "long migration" in your life—perhaps a new job, a move to a new city, or an uncertain future—remember the Rosy Starling. If the Creator can guide a small bird across the Himalayas to a specific field in Tamil Nadu, there is a deep assurance that your path is also being watched over. You may not see the final destination yet, but you can trust the Navigator who designed the journey.
