Past Reflections on interviewing Biblical Heroes including Holy Family of their faith heroism
God will put his angels in charge of you
I ascended to the hills of mount Moriah
To inquire Abraham’s
Unquestionable faith
He in his speaking
Recounting and recollecting:
Doubts in my faith prevailed
As the storming sea
Questions in mind battled
As the fiery thorns
Illusions of mirages swamped
In the wake and resting
Chains of nightmares
Chased me ever
Pains in the heart trampled
My soul trembled
Hopes were vanishing
My reason questioned
Sanity was insecure
My relations soured
Bitterness shadowed
Increased the sorrows
Yet I knew my Lord
The God I love and serve
There near the sacrifice stone
When he gave me a lamb
To save my son
I knew His mercy
I knew my God would
Never let me down
As He knew my heart’s desire
58
† Creative Life: A Contemplation
In this faith
I walked with my son
To the hills of Mount Moriah
There I saw He put His angels
In charge of me
I went into the ark of Noah
To ask him of his faith
He speaks in his recollection saying:
Heavenly voice I followed
Warning voice I heard
Building an ark
When there were no waters
Sounded crazy to my thoughts
Nothing less than others thoughts
Humility I faced
In the efforts of visions
Humiliation I faced
In the ordeals of isolation
Adversities I faced
In the adventure of ark building
There in the ark floating on the water
One thing I knew
The God I love and serve
I knew His mercy
I knew my God would
Never let me down
As He knew my heart’s desire
In this faith
I built the ark
In the midst of rejections
There I saw He put His angels
In charge of me
59
† Creative Life: A Contemplation
I descend into the wells
Where Joseph was abandoned
To enquire Joseph of his faith
He in his reflection speaking:
I was young and innocent
I faced hatred of brethren
In the deserted well
Deemed to die
In the abandonment of the well
The rejection surpassed the loneliness
Nightmares of death around me
I looked up from the well
Above they stand to plot to sell me
Rejection and subjection of slavery
Nothing matters I am totally shocked
I wish I were dead
There in the foreign land
Where I was raised above the brothers
I believed in my little heart
The God I love and serve
I knew His mercy
I knew my God would
Never let me down
As He knew my heart’s desire
In this faith
There I saw He put His angels
In charge of me
I went into the dens of Daniels
To ask him of his faith
That saved from lions
Daniel in his speaking
60
† Creative Life: A Contemplation
Reflecting and recounting
I was fearful and trembling
At the gate of lions den
There I fell among the hungry lions
Multiple they were
Roaring and gnashing teeth louder
In that moment
Only thing crossed my mind
I knew my God
The God I love and serve
I knew His mercy
I knew my God would
Never let me down
As He knew my heart’s desire
Even if the lions devour me
His name will be glorified
In this faith
I rested in the den
There I saw He put His angels
In charge of me
I visited the arena
Where three young friends of Daniel
Thrown into the fire
In the refusal of adoring the idol
I interview them of their faith
That saved them from fire
Young friends in their reflection
Speaking recounting
We were frightened at the sight of fire
That leaped its flame high as a tower
We were rebuked in heart
Refused to bow the idols
61
† Creative Life: A Contemplation
There in the arena
We knew our God
The God we love and serve
We knew His mercy
We knew our God would
Never let us down
As He knew our heart’s desire
Even if the fire consume us
His name will be glorified
In this faith
We declared to the king
The God we love and serve is
Able to deliver us
Even If he did not deliver us
We will not adore the idol
There we saw He put His angels
In charge of us
I travel to the red sea
To inquire Moses unfailing faith
That divided the red sea
To deliver the Israel
Moses in his speaking
Reflecting and recounting:
Roaring sea in front
Crumbling people at hand
Warriors of Egypt in the chariots behind
I was cornered all around
There was every doubt in my heart
I thought I am done to doom
There were dilemmas in my thoughts
Thinking of the massacre, I am to face
At the hands of Egyptians
62
† Creative Life: A Contemplation
There were moments of suggestions of
Peace talking to make even the slavery
In the avoidance of blood shed
Betrayals rejections and solitude loneliness
I tread to lead among the people
In that moment
Only one thing crossed my mind
I knew my God
The God I love and serve
I knew His mercy
I knew my God would
Never let me down
As He knew my heart’s desire
Even if the sea cover us
His name will be glorified
In this faith
I raised my hands towards the sea
Speaking “Don’t be afraid
Stand your ground
And you will see what the Lord will do to save you today”
There I saw He put His angels
In charge of me
I traveled to shepherd field
To see the David
To inquire his faith of defeating Goliath
David in his speaking
Reflecting and recounting:
I was young shepherd boy
Arouse in bravery at the giant challenge
Where I saw him standing
Attired in heavy shield and weapons
I shook in my heart
63
† Creative Life: A Contemplation
I trembled in my knee
There were moments where I doubted my bravery
There were moments of fear that could have made me fall
dead
I looked at myself having none to count as weapon
I wondered at the possibilities
But in that battle moment
Only thing crossed my mind
I knew my God
The God I love and serve
I knew His mercy
I knew my God would
Never let me down
As He knew my heart’s desire
Even if the Giant devour me
His name will be glorified
In this faith
I slanged my sling with one little pebble
In the name of the Lord
Then I saw the giant fall
There I saw He put His angels
In charge of me
I went to see Joseph the foster father of Jesus
Interviewing his faith in leading the holy family
He in his speaking
Reflecting and recounting:
I was an ordinary man
When I heard the news of incarnation
Doubts prevailed over me
Shame of betrayal all over me
Humiliation threatened within me
64
† Creative Life: A Contemplation
I died within myself
Questioning the will of God
In accepting Mary
Who had virgin incarnation
Nightmares were my sleeps
Fighting restless heart
But in that moment in silent
In that moment
Only thing crossed my mind
I knew my God
The God I love and serve
I knew His mercy
I knew my God would
Never let me down
As He knew my heart’s desire
If this is His will
His name will be glorified
In my humility
In this faith
I made decision to obey
God’s will in leading Holy family
When I was clarified
My genuine understanding
Through Holy angel
There I saw He put His angels
In charge of me
Then I turned to Virgin Mary
To inquire her bravery
In the faith she lived
In carrying the incarnated word
Virgin Mary in speaking
Reflecting and recounting
65
† Creative Life: A Contemplation
The moment of annunciation
In vivid recall in experience
I was innocent knew not the world
Knew not any man
Happy child I was
God fearing Child I was
At the angel announcement
Startled I was to the shock
Millions of questions haunted my thoughts
Multitudes of doubts wandered in my mind
Above all societal rejection thoughts
Sent trailers of humiliation
Stoning destinations
Shaming punishments of that time
Went as a clear picture in front of my eyes
Thinking of parents and engaged Joseph
Frightened my heart
Sending nightmares in my life
Stormy life I tread
At that moment
In that moment
Only thing crossed my mind
I knew my God
The God I love and serve
I knew His mercy
I knew my God would
Never let me down
As He knew my heart’s desire
Even if I have to die in humiliation
His name will be glorified
In this faith
I said Amen I am your servant
There I saw He put His angels
