My Home

Home is my actual Eden where You, my God, nourish me with Your bounty Embracing me around warm belongingness of family love delight Assured with security presence, barring disloyalty attacks Fenced by Your providential guarding leadership! Home is my primary faith-builder, bringing me close to You, my Creator… As Dad and Mom exposed me to Your great omnipotence Midst truths of miracles and realities of mysteries Especially of personal relationship with Christ. Home is my serene haven that has taught me genuine contentment With my parents thanking You, Oh, Lord for Your daily blessings Combatting dissatisfaction of materialism-angst Subduing greed, covetousness and envy. Home is my joyous commendation-source from Your wrought triumph, my God Exemplified by my family’s gladness, praising You over every milestone Be it birthday, graduation, anniversary, or any worthy festival… Prevailing is “Congrats for doing your best by God’s grace…” Home keeps me linger more for mind and body’s much-needed rejuvenation When outside tasks’ incessant demands echo loudly with painful pressure Succumbing to relaxation’s pleasure, I stay in Your comfort, Holy Spirit Refreshed by loved ones’ touch and embrace, verily therapeutic. Home is my fortress-might against injustice and violence of whatever nature Vanguard of biblical virtues-values, constantly championing righteousness Where You, my dear Saviour reign as Master with compassion and truth… In You is heaven on earth; with You soon is eternal paradise.* *Luke 23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.
