These women had their eyes on Jesus long before I even started my faith journey.
Two of them- Jayatri and Flora had to put with a lot of my nonsensical issues, but I am truly grateful that God sent them in at the right time. God blessed me with some really beautiful and generous friends who encouraged me, always bringing out the best in me. Oh, the torment is indescribable, and yet I saw no escape until I found Jesus, or rather He found me, whichever way that works.😊 There were nights I would cry myself to sleep, wishing I would look like a certain someone and was envious of my own mother. He repeated, “Sany, who makes you bold?” “The Holy Spirit makes me bold.” And there and then, I could sense a tangible deposit in my heart, as if something had been placed there, and I started praying in tongues.Īs one of the relatively darker ones in my entire household, I grew up with many insecurities, especially those regarding my color. “Sany, who makes you bold?” I could hear that voice right by my ears, unlike any others I had ever heard. John constantly told us to believe and receive -eyes closed, hands held high in worship, I prayed with him. After some hesitation, I remember walking down the aisle, standing there among all those mighty men and women of God. John Roughton was giving the altar call for those willing to accept Jesus into their lives and to be baptized by the Holy Spirit. That was the last day of the Minister’s Conference (SOFI, Nagaland) and Ps. Doe-eyed, dimpled cheeks, beautiful smile, everything about her is just beautiful. Sis Tyng is pretty in all the sense of the term. What more, despite all our shortcomings, He expects us to believe that we are His masterpiece? Is He kidding?! Can’t we see how we actually look? Can’t we see all that’s just not that good? Can’t we see?Ģ5 th November 2018, the day I was born again- Sis Tyngshae from Shillong told me I had bold eyes.
There is so much that God could have made the ‘right way,’ but yet He missed it. Perhaps the ants could do with a barrow on their backs or the butterflies with stronger wings. I often look at my pugs and wonder how they would feel about getting a longer nose, considering their almost not-there ones. Quick fixes with lasting results, billions are spent each year on fixing what was never bad, to begin with. Spotless, ageless, creaseless- our cosmetic industry has a lot to offer. You are altogether beautiful, my love there is no flaw in you. Almost none of us can imagine posting a pic without adding filters- so much so that social media platforms have in-built features to tweak our reality till it is “picture perfect.” What started as a need (to give color and dimension to black and white photographs) has become a lifestyle. Be it Eve and the forbidden fruit or models posing on cosmopolitan, looks are saleable, filters indisposable, impressions matter more than what lurks beneath the countless layers of colors and filters. There are no limits to the human obsession with appearance.
