The Mask

                              The government has made masks compulsory to prevent the spread of the disease, but many of us have been wearing masks for a much longer period. These masks are invisible. We wear it every morning and take it off only when we go to bed. Many of us might take it off at home where we can be ourselves, but it's often removed only partially. They say 'the face is the index of the mind', but with this mask all feelings are locked up and kept hidden. Emotions are hidden behind this great pretense of a mask for various reasons. Showing your true self to the world is hardly an option anymore. These masks can either be

                                                  The happy mask portrays that, that  person is happy and all is right with the world when maybe the opposite is actually true. The neutral expression mask may hide a lot of problems and the desperate need of help, the person is in. There are many other masks which we change and wear according to the time and place suited for us.

                                     We feel that our problems are not as big in comparison to what others are going through and so we suppress it. But God knows our heart and innermost thoughts, and this can clearly be seen in I Samuel 16:7 "For Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance but the Lord looks on the heart."God sees beyond the mask. His gaze is fixed on our heart. No one can hide from God, as he knows our every thought. Show Him your true self. Share your sorrows and cast your burden on Him. Trust in Him always and enjoy everlasting joy in his presence.

    This was a really touching post. Yes we all wear masks and sometimes the biggest problem for most of us is taking it off. Praise be to the God that we can trust, even with our inner selves.

      Glad to hear from you. In Jeremiah 1:5 it is written "Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you." Let us wholly trust in the God who formed us.

Waiting on the Lord: From Restlessness to Rest

Isaiah 40:31 "But those who wait  on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not be faint."           Patience is a great virtue, but it has never been my cup of tea. I have always struggled to sit still or remain idle, which made it especially difficult for me to truly surrender everything into God’s control. Yet, when faced with important life choices and uncertainty about how to move forward, I realized that the Lord, who created heaven and earth, is a far better planner than I could ever be. He knows each of my days before even one comes to pass, so why not entrust my life into His capable hands?           With this realization, I decided to wait for His direction, understanding that His ways are higher than mine and that He leads us through experiences that always result in growth and learning. Waiting on the Lord, I discover...

Change Our World!

The great big Earth, Is too huge to  fathom , And its inhabitants so varied to  comprehend  . 'Change the world' is the slogan, And each blamed the world, For not changing around them.

And lastly find out your own passion, your purpose which can be instrumental as the church of Christ unites to change the world at large. Let...

Syncing News and Prayer

     It has been nearly four years since I last picked up a newspaper, but in the past month, I decided to take up the habit once again. This return reminded me of the reasons I had initially given it up: the hurt, the hypocrisy, and the overwhelming deluge of information that often felt more like "infotainment" than actual news. Some days, the pain and suffering depicted in the articles were so overwhelming that I struggled to finish reading. I worried that I would become desensitized, reducing extraordinary tragedies to mere phrases like "it's normal" or "that's life." In moments of despair, I turned to Psalm 55:22, which says, "Cast your burden on the Lord..." and I endeavored to do just that. A Divine Perspective      The Lord is always faithful, and He gently reminded me that each article in the newspaper represents real people—individuals for whom Jesus Christ, our Savior, sacrificed His life on the cross. Each person, whether a vic...
