Transformed Nation

TRANSFORMED NATION

Poetically, a transformed nation has been described by a Christian Indian poet talking of his dream for a transformed India beginning in a village in India in detail as follow. A transformed nation is one:

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high.
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls.
Where words come out from the depth of truth.
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection.
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit [+ vain philosophies + man-made jurisprudence and governance].
Where the mind is led forward by God into ever-widening thought and action.
Where Satan and his angels have been bound and disempowered.
Where the Lord Jesus is exalted, and lifted up, and where every knee bows and every tongue confesses his Lordship.
Where the curse upon the land issued at the fall of man has been lifted.
Where the land has been healed and plants and the trees yield their fruit in season (Ps. 104).
Where rain falls in its season and the weather is predictable (without drought or floods).
Where families own their own homes, land and assets to generate sufficient household food security.
Where children are healthy and free from dangerous illness.
Where every child born lives expecting to die only at the end of a long, fruitful and useful life.
Where mothers live through safe pregnancies and deliver their babies without complications.
Where mothers & fathers not only love the Lord but each other and their children and teach them to love the Lord.
Where families reflect models of the triune Godhead (Fatherhood/Fellowship/Love/Resonance/Perfect Understanding).
Where children are brought up in loving caring families and nurtured and taught the 'way they must go' as they grow.
Where wages are fair and just.
Where the birds sing happily in the trees.
Where every family has enough food to eat and no family takes desperate steps to sell their children or have them resort to prostitution.
Where desperate migration is not necessary, and when it does happen, it is only for better work or education.
Where the council of elders in each village and community is able to resolve all disputes justly at their own level.
Where life is at a pace where it is easy to balance work - leisure - family time – reflection - study of the word - and relationships.
Where those in authority are concerned and care for the welfare of those in their charge and are continuously planning for their betterment.
Where the quest of the national leadership is to seek and pursue 'fullness of life for every individual'.
Because a transformed nation is one that progressively moves toward God intended permanent change!
