I chose to live by certain principles and I know I was right But it didn’t meet their expectations so I compromised I spoke about things and how we can make it better But it didn’t meet…

Think of it…
All of us have a few people we care about
A few care for us reminding us to love life
& a few don’t
We also have people green with envy
A few who’ll need us for a while
& a few don’t
Then there are a few who’re curiouso curiousi
A few – they or we choose to ignore
We also have lingering people
who’ll chase us like shadows
A few undecided and a few know it all
People with issues and people with solutions
People under burden and people who fly
A few even succeed and a few give their best try
People we live with and people who die
Sometimes we want to be left alone
Sometimes we need people to talk
We meet people like us – travellers for a while
They leave at some point during our walk
TEN THINGS I SHOULD’VE LEARNT BUT DIDN’T
- Talk to people only when I need as I’ve nothing to gain from them
- Keep ignoring old friends until I delete them from my contact list
- Speak odd secrets and cover up when the secret’s out and push the blame on someone else
- Give lectures on how not to spread things when I can’t stop gossiping
- Take credit for someone else’s hard work
- Look down on people once I reach a better position
- Shower lots love and hugs when I meet some and forget the minute they disappear
- Preach on how to live a life because the other person chose to live differently
- Tell lies to get things done and get ahead in life
- Pretend to listen and care while my mind is only thinking about – ME

When someone hurts you…
To no one in concern:
You know the feeling when someone you love the most has hurt you but they don’t know they had.
You stand still wondering whether to let them know what they did to you and that you don’t deserve to be treated that way
It may be the little thing or something big and they wouldn’t know that they had driven a knife through your heart or had pricked it with a needle or just had smashed it into pieces
You don’t want to tell them because you’re afraid of losing them & hope that one day they would realise and accept their mistake
But they don’t – that’s when you take a deep breath, put on a brave face and give your best smile. Hiding the hurt that’s in you, you continue to play along and let no one see the storm inside you, that is consumes you and your hopes and dreams to live and then slowly taking you down into the depth of darkness until you can’t swim to the shore or save yourself.
You think it’s over but no, there’s more to the story. You wait for someone to pull you out. You call out of for help till your throat’s sore.
Then that voice is heard by the One, the Saviour. He comes to your rescue. Saves you from drowning and holds you closer, cares for you, waits until you are strong enough to walk on your own. Then watches over you from above to catch you before you fall.
Still Standing
I am not suppose to be alive
Every morning I wake up wondering, why!
At times with no reason I cry
I wake up I pretend to smile and survive
More than I could count I’ve been broken
I lost a few pieces of me every time that happened
While I picked myself up scared and shaken
I close my eyes with nightmares I’m awaken
I’m alive and still have dreams and hope
Taking more hits than I can bear and yet I cope
I want to feel again and open the door let love in
And I fear of losing it even before I try to win
Light from heaven above gives me promises
I want to believe that one day I’ll find solace
Because I am giving up and I can’t pretend to be brave
I give it all to God – He’s knows my needs and what I crave
I have so much to accomplish; all my goals to achieve
With hope I step further and in Majesty’s power I believe
Though I am struggling to stand I am still on my feet
Waiting for someone who’ll make me complete
Please read and reply and pray!
There’s a situation which I am trying to solve – I am going to write it like a story
There’s a girl, let’s call her ‘Peace’ – who grew up to be happy, confident and a beautiful woman at heart.
Her parents served God and brought up Peace in Godly way. She knew very little about the world outside; even if she knew they never indulged in it. She always prayed and worshipped God. She is a gifted musician. The time came when Peace was being prepared for her wedding. Peace always relied on and believed in God’s word. She fell in love with an unlikely man who already had a family. While that man didn’t know where to draw a line – things went further and her hopes grew and was confirmed by God’s word too but Peace never crossed her line as she was waiting for God’s timing. She never lost hope that God will fulfil her promises. Years began to pass a young man came into her life. He began to play with her emotions, won her family’s affection. He threatened her, manipulated her, played with her kindness and letting her fear that he’s going to kill himself if she wouldn’t marry. While Peace was struggling with this man – the family, who believed that God let that man walk into their family, got her married.
The worse happened when he knew about her first love – jealousy clouded his Godly decisions – all she wanted was time but the man didn’t give her the only thing she needed the most to overcome the loss. All of sudden that Godly man as he claimed to do things as per God’s will, turned out be a monster. No one believed her. Her family too said the same – ‘It’s God’s WILL so you’ve gotta obey’. They wanted her to smile but how could she smile when that man stole her confidence and very hope that she carried all the time. He raped her instead of giving her time to adjust with the new relation. She was willing to sacrifice – ready to obey God’s will and she begged him for little time to get closer. But that Godly man – who turned evil didn’t listen to her pleas or requests.
That time… she didn’t just lose her hope – she lost her faith in God. She feels empty and is surrounded by darkness. Her smile vanished from her face. Her confidence crumbled. She believes that her life as she dreamed all along died. She doesn’t want to live any more but she does and compares herself with the women who sell their flesh for pleasure. Why? Just because that man couldn’t wait and didn’t know the difference between making love and having sex; so he brutally raped her.
Now she’s carrying his child – She is my friend and my sister. Watching her like that my heart’s aching. Why did it happen to her? She is a strongest youth leader, always spent hours in praise and worship.. Always worked in church and nowhere else… An amazing Praise and Worship leader and kindest soul with the most beautiful smile… well she was before all that happened. Why did God’s people do that to her. Why did God allow such pain in her life?
Why do God’s people misjudge God’s discernment? Why do they take HIS name and do things that sometimes are not right – won’t God tell them or shake their conscience to choose right?
Someone or none
Life is so complicated… more than I can imagine
I meet people who give a fraction of good feelin’
They stay for a sometime and then vanish into thin air
I keep staring, tear drop says, ‘it’s not fair!’
Many memories keep filling my life’s page
Why am I the unluckiest character on life’s stage
I sound depressing you don’t need to say
What have you done to make it better anyway?
Give me lectures like you always do
One day you’ll find love that’s true
That day my friend is not coming
I see little ones around me growing
And here I am trying to do good in what I can
But there’s no reward from God or man
God… yes He has in stored every heavenly promise
All I ask Him is to send someone to share His love and bliss
It’s all nonsensical to some, funny, foolish & even stupid
Go on and make fun while keep my faith from deeply buried
Mirror mocks me and so most of you make fun
Well I see I’m not as attractive but I don’t plan to live like a nun
My God has plan I’ll keep asking till that’s done
Either there’s someone or I am okay with none!
My story
My story is of the battles I fought
And all the victories I got
My story is of the struggles I still face
And walk in my God’s grace
My story is filled with Hope
And the strength I gather to cope
My story is of loss and pain
I wait for sunshine & love the rain
My story is the forgiveness of my sin
Love that’s not from my kith or kin
My story is of trials that are not yet over
I still need to share God’s love and power
My story is of the days when I feel like ending it all
And the moments when Christ catches me before I fall
My story is of fight between faith and fear
And when I close my eyes I see it clear
My story is of my uncertain tomorrow
And of my Christ’s love who I follow
Who we meet…
I meet the smiling people flashing their teeth
Their eyes so vibrant that would bring an instant smile
Yet their in hearts I feel that dark spot – hidden
Such people aren’t friends and just stay for a while
I meet people with smile on their faces
And yet show immense sadness in their eyes
I stay a little longer and talk and share but when they wish for more
I reluctantly leave promising to stand by and say temporary good byes
I meet people with pride and head turned to the side
People who are drunk in their success; unwilling to greet
Looking down at the passer-by ignoring their wishes
Unless they need something they’d never be ready to meet
I meet people who rush to grab and hug and greet with glee
Make us feel welcomed and that we matter – to them sometimes too
People like them spread happiness where ever they are
Wish the world was filled with such people – sadly there are just few!
I meet people – who live in my memory for a few seconds or more
Yet sometimes they leave an imprint when they smile at stranger like me
The numbers are in hundreds and its just not me who meet people
You too – can make someone feel better with just a smile – how hard can it be!
