Towards that rugged cross

1,Towards that rugged cross I daily crawl

Sometimes with half dose of fears

Sometimes with a bucket full of tears

I persevere even though I am not alone

With faith I climb that height of stone

To see those long nails in his palms

And the show of anguish in his eyes

To behold that crown of thorns of his head

To see that blood flowing to the ground

Into his flesh those sharp irons went

He shouted and screamed for the pains he felt

At Calvary, there he bore all the pain

There he washed all my sins away

There he paid all without remains

And yet he loves me more

He called me a friend rather than a foe

Unto that flesh wrought with intense pain I touched

The body of Christ laid for my salvation

Restitution made for my redemption

And all he asked is, I believe in faith through his grace

2. Towards that altar where my life was purchased

I walk out of that dirty spot; away from those evil slots

To where he took my heavy cross of sins

At Golgotha,

King of kings crucified in the hands of criminals

God of all gods hanged on a wooden cross

Hail, the king of the Jews

The lord of lords beaten black and blue

Blameless but nailed for my iniquities

Sinless but wears the thorns for my trespasses

He resurrected to bring life into me anew

Words of mystery became mystery of words.

Like Jonah in the belly of the fish

O Death, where is your sting?

O Hades, where is your victory?

3. Towards that cross I will daily crawl

With faith covered with smiles of Grace.

To wipe my tears, to cast my fears

Towards that cross, I will lay all my faults.

RELIGION

I am a Christian to the extent that I concur with Saint Paul in saying, “And if I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge and have not love, I am nothing”. I am a Buddhist to the extent that I realize, with Gautama, that only when a man forsakes all his desires is he really free. I am a Jew to the extent I believe profoundly in the saying. “ Hear, O Isreal, the Lord our God is one.” I am a Hindu to the extent of believing and practicing the kingly science of Yoga, the science of Union with the spiritual Self. I am a Mohammedan to the extent that I rely on Allah above all else. And finally, I am a follower of Lao-Tzu to the extent that I accept his perception of the strange paradoxes of life. I will not walk with Christians into an exaltation of truth above what Christ teaches, those words that have life and death in them. I will not walk with a Buddhist into a denial of the beauty and pleasure which existence holds for me. I will not walk with Jews ...

Compatibility test

Before you choose, have it in mind that you are only allowed to choose 10 bullets from the must haves and ten bullets from the I can’t stand . These rules are not 100% sure but they serve to be a guide in minimizing our excesses in what we want from others. It helps prioritize our wants from our needs in a relationship without deception to the self; making us to cherry-pick the best that we want and we don’t want, so that healthy relationship can be ensured.

Unending Love Note

I write on a leafy note with an ink that prints out my thoughts incompletely. My words of love, spread affectionately in colourful fonts expressing my unmatched desire to pitch the best spot on your heart I write my words, thinking neither right nor left but with beaming smiles and eyes seeing you in each pages, of alphabets arranged in lines as I paste my emotions in letters I write of you Of an imperfect smiles yet beautiful for a queen and a wife Innocent looks melting my harden heart With soft touches like cold water Splashed on tender body A blessing to my soul I have written And won't be my last we have futured this together Even as we grow with kids and build a larger family I will still put words on paper sharing the odds and even moments of our days together I will write as our sons becomes good husbands I will still write as our daughters becomes virtuous wives This ink doth n...
