MY INTROSPECTION OF DEATH

"O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." 1Corinthians 15:55-57 King James Bible

Accepting death-appointment or avoiding its attack?
Bravely bowing to its beseeching or boldly beating its blow?
Circumspectly cautioned by its coming or cowardly curtailing its case?
Denying its dangerous duty or demanding for its determined destination?
Expecting for its entry or entreating for its exempting exit with excuses?
Faith in God helps me face death with fortitude
Graciously, I succumb to it when the appointed time comes
Helped to be ready since my soul is redeemed by the Saviour 
Instilled with imputed righteousness with divine love
Just as I am… I cling to the Author of life for my last breath.

PRAISE BE TO GOD WHO ENABLES US TO DO THAT WHICH IS RIGHT IN HIS SIGHT	

Praise be to God for enabling us to do that which is right in His sight:
Guided with good motive      
Geared by His granted mercy 
Gripped amidst gracious mirth 
Girded through His great miracles
Governed along His gentle movement

2Kings 13:4 Praise be to the Lord 
Who hearkens to us when we beseech Him: 
Constantly with redemption’s faith
Consciously with refreshed faithfulness
Circumspectly with restored firmness
Courageously with revival-fervency
Consistently with replenished fruitfulness
 
2Kings 14:26 Praise be to the Saviour for 
seeing our afflictions, and helping us: 
Abide in His will
Abound in His work   
Adhere to His worth  
Assert His winning
Accomplish by His ways. Amen!

TOWARD ACHIEVEMENT PURSUITS

Aroused by achievement ardor, awakened by the Almighty

Blest being of mine blossoms beyond besetting boredom blight

Carving creations circumspectly

Delighted by dreams’ desire to dare and do…

Empowered toward exploits* earnestly enabling

Freed from frustration toward faith-fortitude flight

Girded, governed, geared toward growth's going glow

Hope-hoisted held high, happily healed

Illumined, instructed, influenced for instilling and imparting---

Jubilantly joining reaching-out journeys 

Kindled with knowledge while exercising kindness

Living in the light, led by the loving the LORD along learning-leaps!

*Daniel 11:32 ... The people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.

STARS OF CLARITY

Arousing achievement ardor
affirming assertive aspirations
Beaming brightly 
beyond besetting blight
Carving creations consciously 
circumspectly with care
Dreams are stars of clarity that direct 
delighting desires to dare and do…
Empowering exploits midst pain-exposure
earnestly enabling with empathy
Freedom to fight fear
fortitude flight fueled by faith
Girded while governed for growth
geared toward going then glowing
Hope-hoisted held high
healing against woes' hindrances
Illumining then instructing
influencing to ignite interesting interactions
Jubilantly pursuing joy
junking jabs of wrong judgment 
Kindling kindness
kaleidoscopic in its worthy kinship...
Leading in loving the LORD
as light* toward learning-leaps!

*Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

In Realms of Heaven New Hope Resides

In realms of heaven, new hope resides,
Declare to unfold the new season's tide.
Face the break of dawn's gentle ray,
As sunlight brings hope every new day.

Choose to redeem each precious hour,
For time, is a cyclic grand tour.
Circumspectly tread the path ahead,
Spend time with the Maker, where visions are fed.

Amidst the chaos, seek your promised land,
For hidden therein lies the Divine hand.
Lean on faith, venture through destiny’s door,
Discover treasures untold, now and forevermore.

In courts of heaven decrees are given,
Accordingly universe weaves its intricate pattern.
Ascend those portals, where miracles happen,
See life puzzle pieces align with divine revelation.
.
Behold the coat, crafted with multicolors bold,
Endowed with wisdom, a tale that will unfold.
Each stitch, a stroke of divine wonder,
A tapestry of life, a yearly cycle of wonder.

The best, dear saint, waits just beyond your sight,
A future blessed with mementos pure and bright.
So let your spirit soar, embrace the unknown,
For the door ahead is your harvest to gain.

Circumstancially Broken

You're a pain that hurts in the right places
You stabbed my heart and killed me right before the tongue hit the septum of my heart
Emotionally battered
I have been victimized by my circumstances 

Tying my heart up in strings
Stealing my dignity and making me a prisoner 
I long to be bound free
But constrained to this jail cell somewhat feels right 

Had my father acted his part right
All this behind the scenes drama wouldn't be what the public sees
But here we are and all I wish is for this moment to seize

Enough of self pity
I am not the first person to be neglected by their father
I am not the first person longing for a father figures love
And that's where I have it all wrong

Healing doesn't come from whining and dining with pain 
Reciting it day and night like it's a galaxy of change 
I am the broken crayon with beautiful colors
And I won't colour the world without trying to do so amid my pain

Don't feel pity for me
I have my full limbs intact
Speech perfectly orated
What more can I ask for?
The heavens are besides me every single day of my way and so to be circumspectly broken is all I circumstancially want right now.

Treasured Moments

Inside womb’s gentle fortress
babe safely thrived
nurtured well 
with loving care
while her mother treasured
her as precious gift…
expecting for her arrival.

Now in the Intensive Care Unit
she, in her golden years
earnestly beseeches God
for mother’s life-extension 
so they can both cherish
redeeming time* as diamond
midst their togetherness.

*Ephesians 5:15-17 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

Become a Tree of Life

Possess the land of your heart
For cares of the world can cause
Our hearts to become compact!
Don't let hope be deferred
It's time to plow our hearts
And let the dormant seeds
Grow and flourish once again!
This is a precious time
Time is cyclic, take a step back
Look at the situation, see your part
Walk circumspectly and align with time
Let time work for you, redeem the time
Then you'll see your vision come to life!

Lion

Lurking circumspectly
Lest prey freely scampers
Labeled king of jungle
Labours for sweet triumph
Like soul-devourer*, who
Lies lifeless soon --- crushed by
Lord Saviour, God of love.

* 1 Peter 5:8   Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.

The Beginning

The Beginning
By Joji Varghese Kuncheria
 
Four decades ago my sojourn started,
In my mid - twenties, as to be precise,
A journey of a lifetime so joyous,
By a lad daring, bold and determined,
To perceive, explore and conquer the world,
From my land of coconuts and spices,
To the horn of Africa full of bliss,
Circumspectly moving spellbound and stunned.

So it all began in warm Nazareth,
In a province of Abyssinia,
Arriving on Christmas, the twenty fifth,
An hour by bus from Addis Ababa,
On a beautiful day of the Sabbath,
Journeying through the fields of Injera.

               ************

Shoes of Servanthood

For God's kingdom, I wear my servanthood shoes with delight
Being His steward who works by His might.

Victoriously, I tread circumspectly, along life’s race
Wearing service-shoes, optimizing the Saviour’s love and grace.

For the Lord’s glory, I trek upward mountainous faith-venture
Having my servant feet shod* well to prevail over weariness’ torture.

By Christ’s strength, I’m replenished midst fatigue-bouts
Taking off my labor-shoes as I rest from work’s whereabouts.

With the Master’s guidance, I press forward despite night-caused obscurity
Reaching out to others with my shoes of commitment’s dignity.

*Ephesians 6:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace.

Do Good

“Do good”* resonates God’s voice with His might for character-training
Along His refining for our behavior-change midst His wisdom’s enlightening;
Circumspectly, we should be taught from His prudent illumining
While we seek His lessons of Scripture learning.

“Lust not after the flesh!”  reinforces the Father’s warning
Against our transgressing, trespassing, and sinning;
Meekly, we do repent with sincerity’s well-meaning
Bringing ourselves to His merciful control and compassionate restraining.

*1Timothy 6:18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute…

My Walk With God

With my God*, I ascend toward triumph-pinnacles
Vanquishing temptation tentacles.

Victoriously, I tread circumspectly along life’s race
Optimizing His wondrous love and grace.

For His glory, I trek upward mountainous faith-venture
Prevailing beyond weariness’ torture.

By His provisions, I’m replenished midst fatigue-bouts
Overcoming distracting unbelief and doubts.

By His guidance, I press forward against ignorance
Reaching out to others with care’s assurance.

* Luke 1:30 …Thou hast found favour with God.

Cleaving To Christ

Cleaving to Christ* for close communion
Cared-for am I around His covenant-clout
Clinging ceaselessly to Him, my Creator
Charged as His-called of commitment cost
Chosen charity-caused comforter
Claimant am I of His courage
Cleansed, corrected, chastened…
Contented am I circumspectly
Cheerfully constrained by His compassion
Commanded toward Christian consecration!!!

*1Corinthians 1:9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

Continuing In God's Grace

Having commenced in God's salvation grace
I continue* in His sanctification grace
...calling unto Him through His supplication grace
...cleaving to His satisfaction grace
...clinging along His sufficing grace
...communing with Him by His strengthening grace
...choosing to stay inside His settling grace...

Being crucified to Him with His sealing grace
I'm clothed by His steadfast grace.
As His chosen according to His Scriptures' so great grace 
I'm circumspectly striving to live for Him upon His straightening grace
...comforted, compassed around His spirited grace 
...cared, cheered for toward His serving grace 
...commended upon His saluting grace!

*Acts 13:43 Many...followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
