Feeling, Faith And Fact

Three men were walking on a wall - FEELING, FAITH and FACT. FEELING took an awful fall, and FAITH was taken back. FAITH was so close to FEELING that he then fell down too, but FACT remained and pull FAITH up, and FAITH brought FEELING too.

Seeing from above

I have read this story some time ago and would like to share how we so often looked at situation or circumstances narrowly and not see it on wider perspective.


'A story is once told about an old man and his son who lived in an abandoned fort. One day the only horse the old man owned wandered away, and his neighbours came by to express their sorrow over his misfortune. "How do you know it is ill-fortune?" he asked.

A week later his horse returned leading a herd of wild horses. The old man's friends exulted in his good fortune.

Soon after that his son started to ride one of the horses and fell off and broke his leg. The neighbour's again express their sorrows. "How do you know it's bad?" the man asked.

The following week a war lord came through the village enlisting young men for battle. He would not take the old man's son because of his broken leg. The neighbours rejoice over the favourable turn of events. "How do you know it's favourable?" said the old man.'


Believe it or not, there seems to be a purpose behind every problem and every problem is a character-building opportunity. Circumstances are temporary but character last forever. This story helps me to take comfort that there is greater purpose in store for us........

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose." ~ Romans 8:28

Easter as I see it

I see disunity among Christians,
I see no peace among nations,
I see the Gospel twisted of its facts,
And I see now why God had to act!

I see deterioration in moral values of the human race,
I see corruption and injustice showing its ugly face,
I see no hope for us all at this age,
But yet I see each individual knitted and created in God’s image!

I see sky scrappers and man-made achievement,
I see man’s pride with all it’s invention,
I see self-reliance is the key to life,
And I see now why Christ had to give up his life!


I see nature being plundered and raped,
I see no hope for all the creatures that God made,
I see how marvelous God's hand in all creation,
And I see only through Christ, we can have redemption!


I see the cross where you and I should be the one carrying,
I see death as our destiny with eternal suffering,
I see this journey to Calvary no one is prepare to take,
And I see Christ who took all these for our sake!


”My God, My God, Why have thou forsaken me?”

I see pain on His face at Calvary,
I see grief and sadness, with breath barely,
I see much tears and blood that were shed,
But I do not see Him showing any regret!

I see bondage in the human race,
I see death and destruction we will surely face,
I see God’s intervention in human history,
And I see hope, for Christ who died and now arose in all glory!

”Forgive them for they know not what they are doing”

I see sadness,
I see gentleness,
I see forgiveness,
And I see love manifested in all its greatness!


I see Christ as the living Savior,
I see His grace is for all without condition or favor,
I see salvation if we only believe,
And I see there is hope with God's full pardon......what a relief!





“As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord” ~ Joshua 24:15

I see Christ ascended up in glory,
I see now this is the Gospel story,
I see no matter who says whatsoever the contrary,
I will still declare....He lives! He lives! And He lives in me.....what a mystery!
