Get up and move

2025 15th August

Word for today:

“Get up, take up your bed, and walk.” – John 5:8

In today’s passage, we see that some are celebrating while others are walking through seasons of suffering and darkness. At Bethesda, these two realities existed side by side. It was a place where the invalid, blind, lame, and paralyzed gathered—people longing for attention and help, waiting for someone to carry them into the pool where they believed healing and deliverance could be found.

Here, the paralytic man’s perspective was shaped by the people around him. The place had become an attraction for hopelessness. This man may have been forced to stay away from celebrations due to social stigma or abandoned because of financial hardship. His world had taught him to look to man for help, and he had grown comfortable lying in the same place, with the same people, hearing the same stories, and expecting the same help.

I’m sure news of celebration and of Jesus’ presence had reached that place, but perhaps the paralytic man was too occupied with hearing bad news. And thirty-eight years is a long time to go without hearing the good news.

While the paralytic man was searching for a man, the eyes of Jesus fell on him. The Bible says Jesus knew he had been there a long time. Even when Jesus asked if he wanted to be healed, the man’s response focused on his lack of human help.

But Jesus stepped into the situation so the paralytic man could step out—out of the dark world he had been bound in for far too long.

“Get up, take up your bed, and walk.” – John 5:8

Today’s word comes as encouragement: Jesus sees us in our seasons of discouragement and repeated disappointments. When the Savior’s eyes fall on us, the bondage that has held us for too long will be broken. We can no longer remain in the comfort zone; we must be ready to step out into His glorious light.

Even today, Jesus sees you. Seek His face through prayer and worship, believing for a great move of God in your life.

You heard that right—get up and move. Your time has come, and your Savior is here.

Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father help me to get up from my comfort zone and experience a mighty deliverance. Amen

Romans Eight

My first ever write up, I penned this when I was lying on my bed weeping and crying and wailing thinking about the loss of my late husband. In middle of that cry for comfort, I felt like these words popped out and kept running before my eyes, I grabbed my phone and started to pen down my pain. The Holy Spirit was comforting me as I was writing this and this assurance was straight from the heart of God and after 12 years of the loss I can today testify that Jesus is Faithful and He keeps His promises. Glory to God for His unwavering Love and mercies.

My few promises that spoke to me in Romans 8

Every thing will work out for my good:

“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭28‬ ‭ESV‬‬

He will glory the ones God has called:

“And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭30‬ ‭ESV‬‬

No one can separate us from Gods Love:

“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭35‬ ‭ESV

We are more than conquerors:

“No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭37‬-‭39‬ ‭ESV‬‬

From the heart of God

Saga of Pain

Life started to accept friends.

Gatherings were always during weekends;

Fun and worldly behavior appends.

Friends sounded and looked like family.

Time I spent very lavishly;

With new friends, connections grew rapidly.

I believed in their friendship, totally.

Words out of flesh were mere flattery.

I expressed my love within my capacity.

Then came a storm from someone else’s fault—

To cover it up, another issue was brought.

Relationships gave me no rest.

The role of manipulation was at its best;

One trusted soul tried to keep me oppressed.

The true colors of individuals left me surprised;

Sharp words came, in love’s form disguised.

Truth was kept captive;

Two-faced people—I called them deceptive.

The irony is, this drama was called possessive;

Their actions to damage friendships were aggressive.

I cried and tried to fix the damage;

People I found so hard to manage.

In them, I found so much grudge;

Heartache and rejection came as a package.

All of this gave me a message:

That friendship is a privilege.

Trust does not need explanation.

Love does not cause division.

So I made a decision—

To Christ, I made a petition.

I brought the situation into His submission.

Past trauma pushed me to pursue peace;

I wished and prayed for all this to cease.

So I took a pause

and stayed away from internal wars;

I comforted myself: this too shall pass.

My life took a turn to revisit my purpose.

I decided to stay away from the circus.

I turned my pain into worship.

I believe all of this will be taken in God’s courtship.

My desire increases for heaven’s citizenship.

I cannot avoid gossip,

But at least I will be careful in choosing friendship.

Lovebound

Once I lived a life in aversion.

Deep pain was my portion;

Hurt was in my emotion.

Losing was my fear.

I had no one to share—

Why do even people care?

Life felt meaningless;

Having someone in life was pointless.

I had to go through rejection

And was scared to make any connection.

Running away from the crowd was my choice;

To be alone, I felt nice—

Anxiety was the price.

Uninvited came panic attack.

Enough, I cried, yet came in spiritual attack.

I wished for a break;

Nevertheless, my soul was broke.

With episodes of mental breakdown,

My life then was upside down.

Many times I had a thought to kill myself;

Someone waited to swallow my life in a gulp.

Once again stepped in my Savior—

Changed my sufferings of my prior.

In His perfect love, He cast out my fear;

I started to feel that the joy is near.

Then began my emotional healing;

Jesus Christ—my heart never stopped calling.

In His presence I found my dwelling.

To be continued…..
