A daily walk in faith, hope and love
295/365 Luke 18:13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. 'Oh, God be merciful to me a sinner 'As soon those words echoed out the vocal cords of the tax collector, heaven... Continue Reading →
287/365 I am going to throw a straight punch to the gut- many of the songs we sing, are sung absent mindedly and unconsciously. In other words, they are more like an outflow triggered out of a jig of our memory: we know the words and the melody, so we sing along. However, every now... Continue Reading →
278/365 Two words came out of the first day of a leadership workshop I am attending: skill and will. The two words fall under competence and commitment respectively. The proposed dialogue between the two friends in today's Gospel makes for an interesting read. The friend responding to the request speaks thus:" Trouble me not: the... Continue Reading →
271/365 Have you made sense of everything that has happened in your life? The experiences? The people you have encountered? The lessons you have learnt? The specific knowledge you have gained? Many of the things we come into contact with we deemed irrelevant, and lessons seemed inapplicable. We also concluded that many people apparently only... Continue Reading →

258/365 We read a metaphor today as the Psalmist sent out a cry for help. The amplified version somehow got me all excited and smiling: "Keep me [in Your affectionate care, protect me] as the apple of Your eye; Hide me in the [protective] shadow of Your wings" (Psalm 17:8) To this prayer, as though...

239/365 Reference text: Matthew 25:14-30 The man travelling to another land called his servants and delivered unto them 'his goods' (vs 14). That is relevant because what they received was not because of their own, it was entrusted to them by another. Plainly, akin to St Paul's letter to the Corinthians 'what do you have...

236/365 John 1:48 How do you know me?” Nathanael asked. Jesus answered, “I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you.” We see the face of a confused Nathaniel who asked Jesus in the Gospel of today a rather simple question 'How do you know me? Within the pages... Continue Reading →
