It was Christmas time—not with lights or carols,

but a quiet visit to a village in Karnataka.

We shared a meal in a simple home.

A pregnant woman smiled and said,

“Only fifteen -five days more.”

Before morning came, pain began.No hospital nearby.No doctor.Only prayer.My wife went to help.

In that humble house, a baby girl was born—life arriving with love as the only preparation.Soon the mother grew weak.

I drove—twenty-two kilometers.No facility.Another ten 

Finally, a hospital door opened.

We took the newborn to a pediatric clinic to another part of town. The doctor smiled,“The baby is fine.”Thank God.

But the child lay uncovered—no proper cloth to wrap her.I ran to a small shop and said,

“Please give me something—anything—to cover a baby just born.”

A cloth was placed in our hands.And suddenly, my thoughts traveled two thousand years back.

Another baby…born not in a hospital,but in a manger.No cradle.No comfort.Only strips of cloth.

Who was that baby?The Creator of the universe,choosing weakness,choosing poverty,choosing to come close.

In that moment, I understood Christmas.Christmas is not God coming to palaces,but to simple places.Not wrapped in silk,but wrapped in grace.

Later, we returned to the hospital.The mother survived.That Christmas had no decorations,yet heaven felt near.

“She wrapped Him in swaddling clothes

and laid Him in a manger.” — Luke 2:7

Lord I worship You, Praise You.. Glorify You Jesus. 

Grace coming close.

God with us.

Emmanuel.

These days, decoration is going on everywhere.

Homes are lit with stars and lights.

Church halls are beautifully adorned.

Streets shine with colors and joy.

Christmas has arrived.

But this year, let us pause and ask ourselves—

What about the decoration of our hearts?

The Bible reminds us that God is not impressed by outward beauty. 

He looks at the heart.

This Christmas, let us decorate our hearts with love—a love that forgives.

Let us decorate our lives with good works—quiet acts of kindness. 

Let us decorate our hearts with compassion—seeing the hurting, the lonely, the forgotten.

In the very first Christmas, Father God Himself decorated a small, ordinary place.Bethlehem was not decorated with gold or lights.But God adorned it with the greatest gift heaven could give—His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ.

“He did not come wrapped in silk, but wrapped in humility.Not placed in a palace, but laid in a manger.”

Today, God is still looking for a place to dwell.

Not in beautifully decorated buildings, 

but in hearts made ready for Him.

let us also open our hearts and say:

“Lord, decorate my heart with Your love.

Fill me with Your compassion.

Let my life reflect Your grace.”

May this Christmas / New year be truly beautiful—

not just on the outside,

but from the inside out.

Amen.

Do you hear what I hear?.. Carol Song

 

The Christmas song begins with a whisper in the dark. The night wind speaks to the little lamb: “Do you see what I see?” A bright star shines with a tail as big as a kite. It reminds us that God often begins His work in small, silent ways—light shining in darkness, hope rising when no one expects it. 

Then the message moves forward. The little lamb speaks to the shepherd boy: “Do you hear what I hear?” A song fills the sky, a voice as big as the sea. Heaven is announcing that the Savior has come. The shepherds—simple, ordinary people—are the first to hear. 

Next, the shepherd speaks to the mighty king: “Do you know what I know?” A Child has been born, cold and vulnerable. Not in a palace, but in a manger. The King of kings came in the weakest way, so every person—rich or poor, broken or whole—could come near to Him. 

Finally, the king speaks to the people everywhere: “Listen to what I say! Pray for peace!” Because the Child sleeping in the night will bring goodness and light. And that is the heart of Christmas: the light of Christ shining for the whole world to receive.

This season, may we see His light, hear His voice, know His love, and share His peace—just as the song beautifully shows, from wind… to lamb… to shepherd… to king… to every person everywhere.

🎵

Do you hear what I hear?

Said the night wind to the little lamb
Do you see what I see?
(Do you see what I see?)
Way up in the sky, little lamb
Do you see what I see?
(Do you see what I see?)
A star, a star, dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?
(Do you hear what I hear?)
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?
(Do you hear what I hear?)

A song, a song high above the trees
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea

Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king
Do you know what I know? (Do you know what I know?)
In your palace warm, mighty king
Do you know what I know? (Do you know what I know?)

A Child, a Child shivers in the cold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Let us bring him silver and gold

Said the king to the people everywhere
Listen to what I say! (Listen to what I say!)
Pray for peace, people, everywhere
Listen to what I say! (Listen to what I say!)
The Child, the Child sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light

*At Christmas, we do not just remember a baby in a manger—we celebrate God becoming flesh.

Read 

Matthew 2

Luke 2

Philippians 2

Titus 2

Hebrews 2

Luke 2:11 says,

“Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is the Messiah, the Lord.”

He came quietly, wrapped in cloth, lying in a manger—yet heaven announced Him as Lord.

Matthew 2:2 tells us the wise men asked,

“Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews?”

Earth may not have noticed, but heaven placed a star. Kings may have trembled, but seekers worshiped.

Why did He come?

Philippians 2:6–7 answers:

“Though he was in the form of God… he made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant.”

Jesus did not cling to glory—He chose humility. The Creator entered His creation.

Titus 2:11 declares,

“For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people.”

Christmas is grace appearing—visible, touchable, living among us.

And He became human for a reason.

Hebrews 2:14–15 says,

“Since the children have flesh and blood, He too shared in their humanity… to free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.”

He took our flesh to defeat our enemy and become our Redeemer.

Christmas means this:

God came near, God came low, and God came to save.

This season, let us open our hearts like a manger—simple, humble, and ready—to receive

 Emmanuel: God with us.

*selected.. David Jeremiah

O Come Let us Adore Him..

 

He has given His people a strong King. All of His faithful people praise Him for that gift. All of the people of Israel are close to His heart. Praise the Lord. Psalms 148:14

   

Psalm 148 tells us that God gave His people a great gift—a strong King. Not a weak ruler. Not a temporary leader. But a King raised up by God Himself, close to the heart of His people.

At Christmas, this promise came alive.

Wise men traveled from the East asking, “Where is the One who is born King of the Jews?”

People  later cried out, “Hosanna! Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!”

And even on the cross, a sign was placed above Him:

“Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews.”

What a King this is.

Born not in a palace, but in Bethlehem.

Crowned not with gold, but with thorns.

He ruled not by force, but by love.

He conquered not nations, but hearts.

This is God’s Christmas gift to us—a Strong King, a Savior King, the King of kings.

Psalm 148 says that all His faithful people are close to His heart. So today, let us do what heaven and earth are called to do: praise Him.

Glory to God in the highest!

The King of kings is born in Bethlehem.

Let every faithful heart worship Him.

Praise the Lord.

🎵

O come all ye faithful
Joyful and triumphant
O come ye, o come ye to Bethlehem
Come and behold Him

Born the King of Angels
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
Christ, the Lord

 

Christmas is seeing the face of God.

Shepherds saw Jesus.So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph and saw the baby lying in the manger. Luke 2:16🌲

Christmas is worshipping Jesus Christ

Wise men worshipped Jesus.
They went into the house, and when they saw the child with his mother Mary, they knelt down and worshiped him. They brought out their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh, and presented them to him. Matthew 2:11🍰

Christmas is coming back to God 

And so they left, and on their way they saw the same star they had seen in the East. When they saw it, how happy they were, what joy was theirs! It went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. Matthew 2:9-10 Wisemen went back from the Jerusalem and came to Bethlehem..

John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life". 
 Blessed Day...

 

Bethlehem was the city of David.

Bethlehem was the place where Boaz lived.

It was from this very town that Micah prophesied—

“Though you are small among the clans of Judah,

from you will come the One who will rule Israel.”

Yes, Bethlehem was small.

Unnoticed. Ordinary.

Yet from that small place came the greatest gift the world has ever known.

Maybe today you feel small.

Overlooked. Empty. Like a stable with nothing to offer.

But God specializes in entering humble places.

Open your stable—your heart—to Jesus.

When He enters, famine turns into harvest.

Just like Ruth, who came to Bethlehem in emptiness and found a harvest of barley, a redeemer, and a new future.

Bethlehem means “House of Bread.”

And from that house came the Bread of Life,

not just for one family, but for the whole world.

This Christmas, may your heart become Bethlehem—

a dwelling place for Jesus,

a house of bread for many,

and a testimony that God brings greatness from small beginnings.

 

Ruth walked into Bethlehem, the House of Bread, carrying loss, pain, and uncertainty. She had no promises, no security, no future—only a quiet faith that the God of Israel would somehow provide. Yet the very place she entered in brokenness became the place where God wrote her redemption story.

Centuries later, Mary also arrived in that same Bethlehem. But she came carrying the true Bread of Life, Jesus Christ. Bethlehem, once known for physical bread, now became the birthplace of the Living Bread, the One who satisfies every hunger of the human heart.

Look at the beautiful pattern of grace:

Ruth found Boaz, a kinsman-redeemer who covered her shame, restored her future, and brought her into a covenant of love.We have found Jesus, our Redeemer who covers us with His grace, restores our destiny, and brings us into an eternal covenant.

Ruth received a husband, one who stood for her and provided for her.We have received the Heavenly Bridegroom, Christ, who loves us more deeply than any earthly husband ever could.

Ruth came at the harvest season, the exact time when God had prepared abundance.We too find that God leads us into our seasons—not too early, not too late—perfect timing, perfect provision, perfect grace.

Bethlehem was not just a place. It was a divine appointment.

A reminder that when life feels empty, God can lead us to the place of fullness.

When doors seem closed, He can open fields of harvest.

When all we see is loss, He is preparing redemption.

Today, take comfort:

If God could weave Ruth’s broken story into the lineage of Christ…

If He could bring Mary to Bethlehem to bring forth the Savior…

He can lead you too — into His perfect season, His perfect place, His perfect plan.

What a Redeemer.

What a Savior.

What a Grace.!!! 

 

Christmas is more than the birth of a baby in Bethlehem. It is the invasion of the King into a world ruled by darkness. From Eden onward, sin reigned, hearts were broken, and the evil one held people captive with fear, guilt, and death.

But then—light stepped into the battlefield.

Not with weapons.

Not with armies.

Not with force.

But with love.

The King of kings entered the world as a helpless child, yet His arrival shook the powers of darkness. The star that shone over Bethlehem was a sign: the Light has come. But today, that same Light shines in the hearts of those who receive Him.

Jesus conquered not by taking lives, but by giving His own.

He defeated Satan not with swords, but by dying on the Cross.

He crushed death by rising on the third day.

we celebrate the invasion of Light into our darkness, hope into our hopelessness, and life into our dead places.

“The people walking in darkness have seen a great Light.” (Isaiah 9:2)

Yes—Joy to the World! The King has come!

Let His light invade your heart today, and let His love rule your life.

 

*In an army camp, a Christian soldier prayed every day, quietly seeking his Lord. His co-workers tried everything to distract him, but he continued faithfully.

One day, a man grew angry and threw his shoe at the Christian soldier while he was praying. It hit him hard. But when the time for duty came, that same man found his shoe polished…clean…beautifully kept on the rack.

The praying  soldier had returned insult with kindness. Hurt with healing. Wrong with love.

This is the way of Jesus.

This is the message of the Master who prayed, “Father, forgive them…”

This is the path He teaches us to walk—overcome evil with good, not by our strength, but by His love in us.

Today, may we choose the higher road.

When insult comes, respond with grace.

When hurt comes, show Christ’s heart.

When the world throws stones, shine His love.

May your day be blessed as you follow Jesus—the One who transforms hearts through love.

AL ,as he was called as a child, went through failures in his life. 

His teacher labeled him as "unteachable".Al was a fifth grade dropout from school. 

He hit the road at the age of twelve. When he, was 20 years old he went Boston. His wife passed away when she was twenty nine years of age. 

AL started a laboratory for research, but was destroyed by fire. 

But he became inventor of the light bulb, phonograph, motion picture and so many other  things. 

By now you recognise the person.. AL?

He said. " I have not failed ten thousand times- I have successfully found ten thousand ways that will not work"

May be you feel like you are standing at the depressing end of a line of failures. But victory is on the way.. Failure is a detour on the road to success, not a dead-end street. 

Be strong and courageous!.. For the Lord your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you. Deuteronomy 31:8

The God Who Sees Me 

November 2025

A busy morning in Bangalore…

10 AM traffic crawling… the usual rush, noise, and chaos.

I am riding with  family on the scooter, weaving through the crowd.

Then my eyes fall on something unusual—

written on the back glass of a car:

“El Roi – The God Who Sees Me.”

A young woman is driving, probably rushing to her software job.

Yet with all the hurry of the city, she carries this powerful Name of God with her.

It shines like a small sermon on the road.

And suddenly my  heart travels back…

Many centuries ago, another woman—Hagar—

a slave girl, rejected, alone, weeping in the desert.

She had no one.

But God came to her.

He spoke to her.

He strengthened her.

And she cried out:

“You are the God who sees me.” (Genesis 16:13)

Today, in the noise of Bengaluru, (or any place you are now) that same God whispers to you:

“I see you.

I see your worries, your burdens, your silent questions.

I see your family, your journey, your heart.

You are not forgotten.

You are not invisible.

I am El Roi—your God who sees you.”

🙏

Lord, thank You that You see me fully—my struggles, my hopes, my tears, and my steps. Help me walk today with confidence, knowing Your eyes are always on me. Amen.

El Roi — The God who sees me, even in the middle of a busy city.

 

“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”Psalm 90:12

Amy Carmichael’s life in Tamil Nadu teaches us how a disciplined day becomes a devoted life.

Her ordinary routine was filled with extraordinary purpose:

6:00 — Rising

6:45 — Tea, toast

7:00 — Language review

7:15 — Language class

8:15 — Prayer meeting

8:30 — Language lessons

10:30 — Breakfast

11:30 — Rest

1:00 — Study

3:45 — Tea

4:30 — Exercise, letter writing

7:30 — Dinner

8:30 — Housekeeping / accounts

Nothing wasted.

Nothing idle.

Even simple activities—tea, study, exercise, letters, housekeeping—became meaningful when offered to God.

Her life reminds us:

👉 Time is a gift.

👉 Routine is spiritual.

👉 Discipline protects our calling.

Today, so much time is lost in social media, games, endless videos, and noise, but God calls us back to purposeful living.

Let us have a meaningful life of Prayer and discipline.. 

Lord Jesus help us... 

 

Recently, due to some health reasons mainly we had to shift our house.

As I walked through our new neighborhood, I noticed something interesting — shop after shop filled with beds, mattresses, and all kinds of bedroom furnishings.

Each showroom was beautifully arranged, displaying cozy bedrooms that promised perfect rest.

But as I looked around, a thought quietly arose in my heart:

“Can they really give me sleep?”

The answer came immediately — No.

They can offer comfort, but not rest.

They can provide softness, but not peaceful sleep. 

True rest doesn’t come from the finest mattress or the quietest room. It comes only from the presence of God.

The psalmist reminds us that it is the Lord who gives sleep to His beloved.

When we trust in Jesus — when we surrender our worries, our health, our fears, and our tomorrow — He fills our hearts with peace that no shop can sell and no doctor can prescribe.

Every night, as we lie down, we are invited to rest not just our bodies but our souls — in the arms of the One who neither slumbers nor sleeps.

In His presence, anxiety quiets, and our hearts find peace.... 

He gives His beloved sleep.” — Psalm 127:2

 “I will lie down and sleep in peace, for You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.” — Psalm 4:8

 

*Life is fragile. Let us handle with prayer.

No man is greater than his prayer life. But he prays because his soul is hungry for God.

 
Prayer is simply talking to God. He speaks to us-We listen. We speak to Him- He Listens.

This should be the motto of every follower of Jesus Christ. No matter how dark the situation might seem, never stop praying.

In prayer a man kneels before God that he may stand before men.In prayer a man enters heaven that he may face the battles of Earth.

A sinning man will stop praying and a praying man will stop sinning.. Leonard Ravenhill

Jesus prayed briefly when He was in the crowd. He prayed little longer when He was with disciples and He prayed all night when He was alone...
Lord Teach us to pray Amen.

In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence.
– Hebrews 5:7

*Ham Mordecai was an evangelist shared good news to many people in a tent. He also preached against evils of alcohol. Many responded to true Word of God and gave their life to Jesus.

After some years some people came and preached another soft version of good news.Many went for their meetings and stopped hearing Ham Mordecai.

 
One night few people came to hear the message shared by Ham Mordecai Among them, very few came forward and surrendered their hearts to Jesus.

 
Ham Mordecai went back to his room and wept bitterly in despair.. .. But he never knew that a boy from North Carolina was among the few.. His name.. Billy Graham!

Don't be discouraged... God's ways are wonderful! Let us be faithful in sharing true Word .... Glory to God.

She started her day like every other — walking alone from home to the well, carrying her empty jar and her heavier shame. But at that well, she met Jesus, who saw her not as she was, but as she could be.

At that moment, her journey changed forever.
From home to the well, she came thirsty.
From the well to the village, she went running — her heart overflowing.
From the village to faraway lands, she traveled bearing a new name — Photini, the Light Bearer.

Once a sinner, now a saint.
Once in darkness, now filled with light.
Once thirsty, now overflowing with living water.

Photini’s story is our story — a journey from emptiness to fullness, from shame to purpose. When Jesus meets us at our “well,” He not only quenches our thirst but sends us out to shine for Him.

📖

 Jesus said to her, “You don’t have to wait any longer, the Anointed One is here speaking with you—I am the One you’re looking for.”

John 4:26 TPT

 

*In a quiet village of Tuscany, a gray-and-white cat named Toldo kept walking to the cemetery every day. He carried twigs, leaves, and flowers to the grave of his master, Renzo Iozzelli, who had once rescued and loved him. Rain or shine, Toldo never forgot. His love remained faithful, even beyond death.

People in the village wept at the sight. They said, “It’s as if the cat understands love better than we do.”

And indeed, this small creature silently preached a great truth — love remembers, love returns, love never dies.

When we think of Toldo’s devotion, how much more should we love our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave His life for us?

He loved us when we were lost strays, and He brought us home.

He continues to love us with an everlasting love (Jeremiah 31:3).

Even when we wander, His heart keeps coming back for us.

Like Toldo at the grave, may our hearts return again and again to the Cross — not with twigs or flowers, but with gratitude, worship, and obedience.

*In the Spring of 1912 Titanic started voyage. At 882 feet long, she was the largest ocean liner ever built. 

The captain boasted"Even God cannot sink Titanic "

After 48 hours the ship hit an iceberg and within 3 hours the 'unsinkable' sank four hundred miles south of new foundland taking 1500 people down to a, watery grave. 

There were divisions in three decks showing us the voyage is doomed by pride. There are doors chained between decks to keep separate classes for people. 

There was not enough lifeboats also. 

When the news of tragedy reached England relatives rushed to Liverpool office of the Ship company to know whether their own people are survived. 

Outside the office was a single wooden board with two columns of names. At the top of One was the word " SAVED" And topping the other was the word "LOST".

Not of other classes  winners, losers, celebrities, nobodies! 

The earth we are living is a sinking Ship sailng through cosmic sea. Yes, the earth will collide at the end of time. 

One board with two headings will be hanging there. 

" SAVED"  or "LOST'"

Jesus Christ is the only way to Heaven.

There is no one else who has the power to save us, for there is only one name to whom God has given authority by which we must experience salvation: the name of Jesus.”Acts 4:12

You Are Special to God”

“I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”

— Psalm 139:14

Nick Vujicic was born without arms and legs. His parents were devastated—his father was broken when he first saw him. They couldn’t understand why God would allow such a thing.

As Nick grew, he faced rejection, bullying, and deep sadness. At the age of ten, he tried to end his life. But God had not forgotten him. In his brokenness, Nick met Christ and discovered that his life, though different, was filled with divine purpose.

Nick’s father once told him, “You are special.” Those words became a seed of hope in his heart. Through faith, Nick began to see that his disability was not a curse but a calling. He learned to thank God for what he had instead of grieving what he lacked.

Today, Nick Vujicic has travelled to more than seventy countries, preaching the gospel of hope. He is married to Kanae and blessed with children. His life without limbs has become a testimony of God’s limitless power.

Nick often says, “If God can use a man without arms and legs to be His hands and feet, then He can use anyone willing to be available.”

Dear friend, you too are special to God. You may not understand why certain things happened in your life, but God sees the whole picture. He never wastes pain. What seems like a weakness can become the very place where His glory shines the brightest.

ഇതാ, ഞാൻ വേഗം വരുന്നു; ഓരോരുത്തനും അവനവന്റെ പ്രവൃത്തിക്കു തക്കവണ്ണം കൊടുപ്പാൻ പ്രതിഫലം എന്റെ പക്കൽ ഉണ്ട്. 

വെളിപ്പാട് 22:12

 

Pick up the pieces.. ( haddon christian song)

*And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.”— Romans 8:28

When Worry Wakes You

“Woke up tired at 5 a.m.… my worries welled up once again.”

Maybe that’s how your morning began too — with anxious thoughts and a heavy heart.But even in those early hours, God whispers, “Be still and know that I am God.”You may not hear His voice clearly, but He’s closer than your breath.Pause. Pray. Hand the worry over.

When You’re Falling

“I’m falling down the stairway spiral… but Your Word’s a cornerstone.”

There are days when it feels like everything’s slipping away.But even in the fall, God’s Word doesn’t move.It holds you steady when your emotions can’t.Read one verse. Hold onto one promise.That’s how faith fights back.

 It’s Just a Season“

Pick up the pieces, it’s just a season.”

Job didn’t see the reason for his suffering, but God did.

Paul sang in chains because he trusted that even the pain had purpose.

The same is true for you — this season will pass, and something holy is being shaped in you.

🎵🎵🎵

Woke up tired at 5 am

My worries welled up once again

Wish I gave em to you then

Took the time to stop and pray

But I can't hear your voice today

Lord I need you give me strength

I'm falling down the stairway spiral

Haven't felt safe in a while

But your word's a cornerstone

Pick up the pieces

It's just a season

Job didn't know it

But there was was a reason why

Hope was hard to find

Finish the story

It's for His glory

Paul sang in chains

Through all of the woe he knew

You gotta see it through

There's a plan for you

Worry wakes me up again

Shirt is stuck to the skin

How I need to hear your voice

I yearn to be the mom she needs

Yet my hands are trembling

As I lift them to you Lord

I'm falling down the stairway spiral

Haven't felt safe in a while

But your word's a cornerstone

But there was was a reason why

Hope was hard to find

Finish the story

It's for His glory

Paul sang in chains

Through all of the woe he knew

You gotta see it through

There's a plan for you

If it's good then it's from You

Tribulation can be used

If it's good then it's from you

You can make the mountains move

But there was was a reason why

Hope was hard to find

Finish the story

It's for His glory

Paul sang in chains

Through all of the woe he knew

You gotta see it through

There's a plan for you

There's a plan for you

The need of the hour

 

*"Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.” – Matthew 26:4

There is a battle that happens not outside, but inside — between the flesh that longs to rest and the spirit that longs to pray.

Jesus, in Gethsemane, asked His disciples, “Could you not watch with Me for one hour?” But they fell asleep. 

The song “Thoongamal Jebikkum Varam” — “The gift to pray without sleeping” — is a humble cry from a heart that longs to stay awake in prayer.

It’s saying, “Lord, don’t let me waste the days in slumber; teach me to spend it in prayer.”

Hannah wept and prayed until she received her Samuel.

Daniel prayed daily, even when it meant facing lions.

Paul prayed in prison — and the chains broke open.

Moses lifted his hands on the mountain — and Israel prevailed.

Each of them discovered a truth:

Prayer awakens power.

When we stop praying, the enemy starts planting.

But when we watch and pray, the presence of God fills our days and nights.

“Do your best to come before winter.” – 2 Timothy 4:21

Paul sat in a cold prison cell, waiting for Timothy. Winter was near, and soon the seas would turn rough. If Timothy delayed, the ships would stop sailing—and he might never see Paul again.

Life, too, has its seasons. There is a time to act, a time to speak, a time to love. If we wait too long, doors close, hearts harden, and moments pass.

Now is the time—

to praise Jesus with all your heart,

to hug your child,

to pray for your neighbor

to say a kind word to your spouse,

to call that friend you’ve been thinking of,

to visit someone lonely,

to share the Good News of Christ’s love.

Do it today.

Tomorrow’s winter may come sooner than we think.

Come before winter.

Before it’s too late—respond to God’s gentle call now.

When you come, bring the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, and the books, especially the parchments.”— 2 Timothy 4:13

I picture Paul—an old man, shivering in a damp prison cell.

His body needed a cloak.

His soul hungered for the books.

And his spirit longed for Timothy’s fellowship.

Even at the end of his life, Paul reminded us that we are whole beings—body, soul, and spirit.

Our body needs care and rest.

Our soul needs the nourishment of God’s Word.

Our spirit needs the warmth of fellowship of our brethren. 

The same Lord who provides food for the body also gives the living Word for the soul and the comfort of His people for the spirit.

When any one of these is neglected, life grows cold.

But when grace, truth, and love flow together, even a prison becomes a place of peace.

Today, ask the Lord to cover you with His cloak of grace, feed you through His Word, and surround you with companionship in Christ

Bless day With Jesus.. 

"My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms in the vineyards of En Gedi."
— Song of Songs 1:14

When we open the Song of Songs, it feels like stepping into a vineyard — a place overflowing with fruit, fragrance, and joy. Many through the centuries have entered this field and tasted the sweetness of Christ’s love. But the greatest treasure is not the grapes, nor the wine, nor the perfumes — it is the Owner of the vineyard Himself.

Like Ruth gleaning in Boaz’s fields, we too come to Jesus. At first, we may seek His gifts — joy, peace, blessing, answers to prayer. But as we linger in His presence, we discover that the truest satisfaction comes not from what He gives but from who He is.

Jesus is our Boaz — our Redeemer, our Bridegroom, the One who welcomes us into His vineyard not as strangers, but as His beloved. In Him, we are not gleaners of grain but heirs of the whole field. In Him, we are more than conquerors, because He has loved us with an everlasting love.

Blessed day

Heaven came down and glory filled my soul!! What a wonderful day!

My Testimony – The Day I Found Life in the Desert

I was a man of wealth and honor, a court official under the queen of Ethiopia. Outwardly, I had everything—power, position, possessions. But deep inside, there was an emptiness that nothing could fill.

I had heard of the God of Israel and longed to worship Him. So I traveled all the way to Jerusalem. I thought perhaps in the holy city, in the great temple, I would find the satisfaction my soul longed for. But even after doing all the rituals, I returned home unsatisfied. Something was still missing.

As my chariot rolled through the desert road, I opened the scroll of the prophet Isaiah. My eyes fell on these words:"Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter; like a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he did not open his mouth. In his humiliation, justice was denied him. Who can describe his generation? For his life is taken away from the earth.”

I read, but I could not understand. Was the prophet speaking about himself? Or was it about another? My heart ached for answers. Yet there was no one beside me to explain. I felt like my chariot was moving forward, but my soul was stuck in the wilderness.

Then suddenly, a man came running alongside my chariot. His name was Philip. He asked me gently, “Do you understand what you are reading?” I could only reply honestly, “How can I, unless someone explains it to me?” I invited him to sit with me.

And there, on that lonely desert road, everything changed. Beginning with that passage, Philip told me the good news of Jesus Christ. He explained how Isaiah’s prophecy was fulfilled in Him—how He was the Lamb of God, who took away the sins of the world.

My heart burned within me. The words of Scripture came alive. The emptiness I carried for years began to lift. For the first time, I saw clearly: the One I longed for was Jesus.

As we continued, we came upon some water. With joy in my heart I cried, “Look, here is water! What prevents me from being baptized?” Philip did not hesitate. We went down into the water, and there I was baptized. 

When I came up, something unspeakable happened. Joy flooded my soul—joy I had never known before. The emptiness was gone. My heart overflowed with peace.

I looked around to thank Philip, but he was gone. The Spirit of the Lord had taken him away. Yet I was not alone. The Holy Spirit had come to dwell within me.

I remembered how, because I was a eunuch, I was never allowed to enter the temple of the Lord. I could only stand outside, far away. But now, through Jesus, I had been welcomed into the very Most Holy Place of God’s presence. Once I stood afar off, now I could call the Almighty God “Abba, Father.”

That day became the most unforgettable day of my life. I started my journey empty, but I went on my way rejoicing.

I thank the Holy Spirit for guiding me.

I thank Him for sending Philip to me.

I thank Him for opening the Scriptures.

I thank Him for giving me grace to obey.

I thank Him for filling me with His presence.

I thank Him for making me a worshiper in Spirit and in truth.

I will never forget that day in the desert road—

the day I found life in Christ.... 

🎵🎵🎵

O what a wonderful, wonderful day, day I will never forget;
After I'd wandered in darkness away, Jesus my Savior I met.
O what a tender, compassionate friend, He met the need of my heart;
Shadows dispelling, with joy I am telling, He made all the darkness depart.

Chorus
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul, (filled my soul)
When at the cross the Savior made me whole; (made me whole)
My sins were washed away and my night was turned to day,
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul! (filled my soul)

Born of the Spirit with life from above into God's family divine,
Justified fully thru Calvary's love, O what a standing is mine!
And the transaction so quickly was made, when as a sinner I came,
Took of the offer, of grace He did proffer, He saved me, O praise His dear name!
