Dark-skinned Leaders
Dark-skinned have emerged in the world not only as political leaders but also spiritual leaders. It is good thing when a dark--skinned man comes up in life.

John Wesley - The Sermon on the Mount
John Wesley's description of "the poor in the spirit" greatly impressed me.
Be ready for the ugly in the beautiful
Nothing is purely beautiful. Everything beautiful on this earth has an ugly element. In the business of loving human beings, one must be prepared to receive from the ugliness of the heart besides receiving from its beauty.

I Am The Proof
A son of a Hindu, a former atheist and a God-hater, I am now a priest of Jesus Christ singing His praises and telling others about His wonderful love. Can there be a better proof for the power of God than what He has done in me?
I Will Stand And Wait
When things don't go well one assumes that something must be wrong. This work for God that I am involved in has not risen to expectations. But even this assessment is only partial. There are aspects of me and my work that have clearly exceeded expectations. In a situation like this the best course of action is to stand and wait, for the plans of Heaven are not viewable on earth. And God always places his workers on a path of suffering and even waiting. I believe that I am in this category.
HARMLESS JOY - The Recitation
In the war between the head and the heart, there is a harmless joy that a man clings to, in the hope that it is truly as harmless as it seems to be.
"What a harmless joy this is!
Isn't this the way of the world?
Isn't everyone lost in his own harmless desire?
What harm can be done in confining these thoughts to oneself?
Isn't a man entitled to some private pleasure,
A pleasure so private that he would blush to tell?
Yet why does his joy turn quickly into sorrow?
Why does his emptiness remain even after the desire is quenched?
He roams in search of green pastures,
Yet he finds himself in a barren desert.
Fleeting dreams, and fading joys are his delight,
And moments of thrill slip through his hands and turn into filth.
Madness masquerades as sanity for a while,
And then rears its ugly head.
The lover of delight perceives this truth, and yet fails to act,
Fails to accept, fails to turn away, and fails to live that life he knows not."

Harmless Joy (The Video)
Certain private joys seem harmless as long as they remain private. But even in the mind they corrode and corrupt the soul and separate it from a life of knowing and living in the truth that is God.
