constant praise to the Lord

There is no other thing which could make a day so lively and full of joy, but being in constant remembrance of God's kindness and mercy. Without this, what can we expect from the misery and harshness of the days? Simply to remember His sweetest name is the joy and gladness of the universe, what is more to give Him constant adoration and praise from the pure heart and mind. When we cling on Him continually, we are being transformed into His likeness. It is in dwelling in Him, our soul finds its rest and consolation.

Let's set aside all the worldly cares and unnecessary thoughts. Lest our souls be distracted by what is not needful. Those things can cloud our minds and we can't see clearly the good things that the Lord is bestowing in our ways as the lover of Mankind. Unless our heart and mind are peaceful and meek, we can not be in peace with others, and we do not have peaceful days. No matter what comes to our way, be constantly thankful to Him who is ever good God. Trust in Him and unceasingly whisper the sweet praise to Him in your heart.

Glory to You, O God! Glory to You!

two golden wings

Step your feet on the warm sands
stopping the stare at the mirage, that empty beauty
run into the source of the true spring
even though it is as though a trap

walk silently to keep the water inside
follow the little creatures walk
they would bring you to that little tiny water
as the sun burns
its rays scorch the outer skins of hands and lips

go straight looking what is ahead
only silently, without grumbling
use your two golden wings
of modesty and perseverance
and everything is going to be as it is

active again! :)

There is a time when everything becomes quiet and serene externally, but the soul feels restless. That is what I experience this holiday season. Sudden gap between so hectic day and day of nothing-to-do was so poignant. But nothing to worry, really. It just needs a little bit adjustment. Everything eventually will be like God wills.

Being intensively introvert, sometimes I feel somehow selfish and self-centered. Lord, have mercy. I need to continually realize that this life is a gift and the world is not revolving around me. But everything tells a great story of Him and His unfailing love. I am just a very little part among so many generations and even among all in the universe, which makes me too much to say that I am insignificant for I am anonymous.

I want to come back to my silent and reflective nature. I want to write a little story about this life and what my heart beats for. It consists of anything: sadness, joy, anguish, laughter, smile. And everything is good and beautiful. It will not be easy though, since I have to fight my laziness and limited mind to do all this. Let it be, let it be.

Lord, help!
