I wrote this poem at the dawn of 2020 to remind myself that Christian life remains the same every passing year: Carrying the Cross, hating every sin - little or big, persevering amidst odds and staying faithful to the call of Christ.

One heart
Jesus never wanted His followers' money. He only wanted their hearts. Jesus was not excited about huge crowds. He only wanted wholehearted followers - true, though few. Jesus never wanted to be a king though they wanted to make Him one. He was already a King, He said, of a far greater everlasting Kingdom. When… Continue reading One heart
The Other Side
Without a higher perspective, life is meaningless. Without faith in Christ and His coming Kingdom, our life and toil on earth is a futile exercise. But when we see life through the lens of Christ's teachings, everything changes. If you believe that His Words are true, your priorities change, your choices change and everything about… Continue reading The Other Side

But we need both - we cannot neglect one and embrace the other: Embracing Love of God without Fear of God is hypocrisy. Embracing Fear… Continue reading Love and Fear
The Only One !
We may possess many things in life but Christ alone can give meaning - without Him, everything else is in vain. That's what this poem is about. I have more than ten friends to hang out with and be carefree ! But there's only One Who can satisfy me ! I can find a hundred places to… Continue reading The Only One !
Who’ll be first ? The last !
First impressions are the best - but not so for God. Those who're ahead in the race might lose out in the end and those who're fallen might repent and come back with a stronger commitment - this is what the Bible teaches and I believe it'll do us good to reflect on this Truth… Continue reading Who’ll be first ? The last !
