A wonderful human being who considers his achievements dispassionately. Even when at the top you can be light-hearted.
ReplyDeleteWish you the best.

Hello Mr. Sreekumar,
ReplyDeleteI just listened to your song "Ithratholam Yahova Sahaichu" on Youtube. It is an amazing and meaningful song. I can also attest to the fact that my whole survival is the result of God's amazing intervention when I could not go forward or when no one was able to help me in the situations that I was going through. God's love and care towards our life is amazing. I have shared my experiences to several people in Asia, Europe, Africa, and South America to help them in their journey. I do not know if you have time to read my experiences. May God help you to be a light in this dark world and I hope and pray that Yahova will continue to help you and guide you throught your life. He is the only one who can help you. Please continue to trust in Him and submit your life in His hands.
