Not My Tongue, Lord - Yours

May 31, 2026

As I was sitting, I had this image of a tongue crucified to the cross.

For a long time, the cross has been, for me, a symbol of redemption from sin, healing, and deliverance.

To see tongue nailed to the cross, this vision, imagination made me stop in my tracks(thoughts)

I didn't think much about tongue, even though I understand it is a huge driving force in life, relationships, and almost every area of our lives.

Seeing a vision of the tongue nailed to the cross brought me to holy reverence and the surrender of my present moment, my whole being in a pause(divine pause - Selah)

As much as Jesus cares about sin, death, suffering, sickness, and pain, he cares deeply about our tongues.

Our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit - 1 Corinthians 6:19

My revelation: since the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, I feel the tongue is the fire on the altar of God's temple.

In many instances in the Bible, fire was depicted as a synonym for God's presence. Fire was never meant to be turned off/ put out in the physical temple of God.

Leviticus 6:13

The fire must be kept burning on the altar ·all the time [perpetually]; it must not ·go out [be extinguished].

The tongue, which can wound or heal, is surrendered and purified through Christ's sacrifice. It carries the spirit of verses like:

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue…" — Proverbs 18:21

and

"Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth…" — Psalm 141:3

I pray that this image of a tongue nailed to the cross communicates repentance, surrender, cleansing, and transformation in a very real, deep way, speaking life and healing, and being God's mouthpiece that declares the heart and mind of Christ, manifesting and bringing heaven on earth.

"Not Finished Yet" - Our Testimony

December 6, 2025

You Are Not Finished

What the world labels as broken is often just unfinished work in the hands of a loving God.

Yes, many are wounded—by childhood trauma, mother wounds, father wounds, sexual wounds, betrayal, rejection, or shame. But wounded does not mean worthless, and broken does not mean beyond hope.

As long as there is breath, there is hope.

Where people see brokenness, Jesus sees opportunity for redemption and restoration.

Where others see ruins, He sees rebuilding.

Where the world gives up, He begins again.

Nobody is beyond repair in the love of Jesus.

You are not finished.

I am not finished.

None of us is finished.

Never give up on Jesus’ love for you (for us).

The God Who Fights for You

Exodus 14:13

Then Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid! Take your stand [be firm and confident and undismayed] and see the salvation of the Lord which He will accomplish for you today; for the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you will never see again.”

In Scripture, the Egyptians represent:

• Bondage

• Slavery

• Oppression

• Everything that has kept you from living free

Whatever held you captive—fear, shame, trauma, addictions, destructive patterns—will not chain you forever.

When Jesus steps in, the captivity you once knew loses its power.

The Egyptians you saw yesterday, you will see no more.

Your Inheritance in Christ

In Jesus, you are called into:

• Love

• Joy

• Peace

• Freedom from every bondage

These are not distant hopes—

They are your inheritance in Christ.

You may feel unfinished, but God is not done.

Your story is not over.

Jesus is still writing.

Wedding Day Reflections!

November 20, 2025

As I reflect on our marriage, I can't help but think of this verse.

Zechariah 2:5

For I,’ says the Lord, ‘will be a wall of fire all around her, and I will be the glory in her midst.’ ”

❖ A Wall of Fire, A Glory Within ❖

In the quiet vow of two hearts twined,

Where promise meets eternal design,

The Lord steps in, with love declared—

A holy shield, a flame prepared.

“For I will be,” He whispers near,

“A wall of fire around you here.”

Not just to guard from every storm,

But warm the covenant you’ve sworn.

Between your hands, His fire glows,

A ring of light that ever grows;

Encircling love with Heaven’s care,

A bond no darkness can ensnare.

And in the midst, His glory stays,

Filling your home in quiet ways—

In whispered prayers, in patient grace,

In every tear and soft embrace.

For marriage is not two alone:

God builds a temple of His own.

And in that place His presence shines—

A glory born of love divine.

So walk together, heart to heart;

No foe can tear what He sets apart.

A wall of fire round your days,

His glory in your midst always.

So Jesus in this we rest;

“What you watch, you bless.

What you bless, you keep.

What you keep, you perfect.”

What You watch, Lord, sanctify;

What You sanctify, protect;

What you protect, fulfill —

In your perfect time.

The Covenant of Jesus’ Love In Our Marriage!

November 7, 2025

Moments from October 04, 2025

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we were unable to celebrate our wedding anniversary on May 30, 2025. Nevertheless, we didn't give up on the spirit of celebrating, being grateful, and being intentional about remembering God’s gift of covenant love.

Psalms 91:11-12

The Message Bible

He (Jesus) ordered His angels
to guard you wherever you go.

If you stumble, they’ll catch you —
their job is to keep you from falling.

You’ll walk unharmed among lions and snakes,
and kick young lions and serpents from the path.

Amplified Bible

For He (Jesus) will command His angels in regard to you,
to protect and defend and guard you in all your ways
[of obedience and service].

They will lift you up in their hands,
so that you do not [even] strike your foot against a stone.

“The Covenant of Jesus’ Love”

Before the stars were named or known,
Before the dawn first broke its tone,
You spoke a vow that time won’t fade —
A covenant of love You made.

Not written ink on stone or scroll,
But sealed within the human soul,
Your promise carved by nail and thorn,
Love everlasting, mercy born.

You bound Yourself with crimson thread,
Through every tear the Savior bled,
And in that blood, so pure, divine,
You wrote forever next to mine.

When I am faithless, still You stay,
Your steadfast heart won’t turn away,
For every failure, grace runs deep —
Your covenant my soul will keep.

No grave can break, no night can move,
This endless vow of holy love,
The cross, the tomb, the risen King —
My heart rests safe beneath Your wing.

So let the heavens pass away,
And time itself forget the day —
Still one truth stands, still one song proves,
I live because my Jesus loves.

We remain in this covenant of marriage because JESUS

You have woven our hearts with threads of grace,
Two souls now bound in love’s embrace;
Not by mere vow or fleeting breath,
But sealed in life, and love, and death.

As You, O Christ, the Church adore,
We’re called to love forevermore;
Through joy and trial, loss and gain,
Your covenant love will still remain.

Make us one heart, one hope, one flame,
Refined and pure in Jesus’ name;
For in this union, we will see —
Your holy love, our destiny.

A little side note: Ram gifted 20 gifts for the 20th wedding Anniversary

Alchemy of Love

May 25, 2025

"Love is the only gold." – Alfred, Lord Tennyson, Becket.

Rightly quoted! Gold, to be gold, goes through fire to purge all impurities and only then comes out as gold.

I thank God that in the making process of Gold, we don't die even though it feels like death, but Jesus is faithful in seeing His image in us and putting his signet ring (signet ring: a sign of embrace and authority as a child of God) in helping us BE what he has called us to Be.

Christ in us the hope of Glory - Colossians 1:27
