Be- (a)Live That I AM WHO I AM


As a Christian, I am called to follow Jesus and obey all the commandments mentioned in the bible. But most of the time I am so blinded by the outward “Customs & Traditions”, that I choose to worship the outer God including my own Pride and Ego.

I am always in awe of how God spoke to Adam and Eve, Moses and Abraham. Or for that matter of any of the Saints I have read of. I may have had an experience of the Living God, at retreats or at a healing service, but yet, I limit my experience to just that or there and then. How then am I to show others around me including my children that Jesus isn’t dead, but living? Then, where is that Living God in my life? Or have I locked him in the boundaries of the church walls and alters of my home? No wonder the youth and children think mass is boring and church services are limited to Christmas balls and party. And then I sit and wonder why many are leaving the church!!

How then can I really live the Living God? 

The very reason Christians call Jesus a Living God, is not merely because He arose from the dead, but also because every word mentioned in the Bible, is a spoken  word from the mouth of God Himself.

A very good example of Gods’ spoken word is Creation itself. With just a thought and a spoken word, ‘He created the World and everything in it’

And when I read through entire chapter of Creation I notice, and realise that God’s spoken word is nothing but positive. ‘He created the World and everything in it and called it GOOD’

Genesis talks of God creating man in the Image and Likeness of God!!  – Both Man and Woman!!

As I realise this, that I am made in the Image and Likeness of God, I am woken up with Jesus’ spoken word, “Do you not believe Phillip that I am the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I have spoke to you, do not come from me. The Father who remains in me, does his own work.”

Then again He says, “In a little while the world will see me no more, but you will see me; and because I live, you will also live. When that day comes, you will know that I am in my Father and that you are in me, just as I am in you.”

Then why do I yet feel lonely, failure sets in, I worry, am anxious and all negativity sets, in and around me?? Why am I not feeling the joy of the resurrected Jesus? Why I am yet stuck up with idea of Original Sin in spite of knowing that Jesus is risen and has won the victory for Me? Especially when it is clearly mentioned in the bible, that He died for our sins once and for all!!

I decide to pray to find a solution to my problem.
And while praying Jesus spoke to me, ‘I am the way, the truth and the life, I am the Living Word of God’ and He showed me the scene of the Burning Bush....where God said to Moses....



And a Proverb flashed in front of my eyes, “For as I think in my heart, so shall I be”
And the Spirit of God spoke in my heart, “For My Kingdom is within you and is within your reach. Your body is My temple and I AM seated on its Throne. My name is ‘I AM THAT I AM’. Why then do you abuse ME saying ‘I AM FEELING LONELY'? Why then do you say to ME that ‘I AM A FAILURE’? Why then do you say to ME that that 'I AM WORRIED'? Why then do you say to Me that 'I AM ANXIOUS'? Read My Word and Be- (a)Live!

Liberated Butterfly!!

Liberated Butterfly.... When my elder daughter was born. I was so excited and thrilled; I did all I could as a mother to make life beautiful for my little baby. I even quit my career to spend time with her, to not miss her 'first times’. I wanted to play with her, give her the best and to teach her all things which I had learnt & more. Put her in one of the best Montessori School, bought her best of toys & clothes. I wanted to even send her later to the best IG school. But sadly, we didn’t manage to get admission there. I must be a lucky mother as I remember my baby saying, ‘I am sure mamma that God has a plan for my life and knows which school is best for me.’ I was a proud mother! A mother who never understood why all mothers cribbed about school, their children or the curriculum & teachers. My child was good at it all and was doing it all perfect. Mine was The Best!! She did all that I told her to, very obedient and was a responsible child too. I was so much in l...

Who Am I?=I AM THAT I AM

I dedicate this blog to a few of my teacher's namely Eckhart Tolle, Anita Moorjani & Emmanuel Dagher. I would like to begin with a short parable from Eckhart Tolle's book "The Power of Now" A beggar had been sitting by the side of a road for over thirty years. One day a stranger walked by. “Spare some change?” mumbled the beggar, mechanically holding out his old baseball cap. “I have nothing to give you,” said the stranger. Then he asked: “What’s that you are sitting on?” “Nothing,” replied the beggar. “Just an old box. I have been sitting on it for as long as I can remember.” “Ever looked inside?” asked the stranger. “No,” said the beggar. “What’s the point? There’s nothing in there.” “Have a look inside,” insisted the stranger. The beggar managed to pry open the lid. With astonishment, disbelief, and elation, he saw that the box was filled with gold. The Moral of the Story Eckhart Tolle says: “I am that stranger who has nothing to give you and who is...
