Today Reminder – 27 February 2014 (Day 19 – Love is…)



A reminder for today
I prayed to the LORD, and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears. (Psalm 34:4)

Love is the greatest… Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.

As we are coming to the end of our theme and also to the end of February I can’t help but to think how quickly time is passing us by and how little time we actually have on this earth. Paul’s words are not only extremely familiar and well known but also so important. Faith, hope and love – three things we can never lose and three things that will be with us always and forever. Love is the one that will last and love is described by Paul as the greatest.

I do not want to evaluate Paul’s message, but instead I wish to leave you with this: Love is the one thing that can change us and change people around us. Love can break barriers and soften stubborn hearts. Love can warm the hearts of people and love can melt ice. Love can be given and given and love can never run out. Love is godly for God created with love. Love is powerful and love can open eyes and form lives. Love is holy and love is eternal.

When you love today and I guess for the rest of your life, love completely and hold nothing back. I often watch my boys with tear filled eyes by the way they love me. They love so completely and their love is so real and warm. They show love without fear and they love without worrying who cares and where they are. They are always sincere when they hug and they always bring a warm feeling into my heart when they hug. This is real love and the kind of love we must always love with.

Love as if you will never be able to love again and then a little more. Love because you do not know when your time is up. Don’t hold back for we are not remembered by our life but rather by the way we loved. This is how the people that truly care will remember us. 

When you see your friend, wife, husband, son, daughter, brother, sister father, mother or any other person close to you – hug them with unconditional true love and love them with real, no holding back, full hearted and complete love.
Love those you meet in the mall, the streets, at work and wherever you go, because this love will not only change you but also everyone that you meet.

Love, live and love some more.

Have and awesome day dear friend of Jesus

Cheers

Just to remind you

When I say that 'I am a Christian', I am not shouting that 'I am clean living. I'm whispering 'I was lost, but now I'm found and forgiven.'  When I say 'I am a Christian', I don't speak of this with pride. I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.   When I say 'I am a Christian', I'm not trying to be strong. I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.  When I say 'I am a Christian', I'm not bragging of success. I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.  When I say 'I am a Christian', I'm not claiming to be perfect. My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it. When I say 'I am a Christian', I still feel the sting of pain. I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name. When I say 'I am a Christian', I'm not holier than you. I’m just a simple sinner who received God...

Today Reminder – 7 August 2014 (Day 5 – Return to Proverbs)

A reminder for today Honour the LORD with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce. Then he will fill your barns with grain, and your vats will overflow with good wine. (Proverbs 3:9-10) When we realise that all we are and all that we are good at is a blessing from the Lord we soon see how we can honour Him with these wonderful talents. I give all the credit to the Lord for all that I accomplish and all that I do and I am humbled by the way He continues to give me wisdom in my work. The promise here is much greater than we realise. When we honour Him with all that we produce, He will fill our barns and let our vats overflow. This to me means that the more we honour Him in what we produce (do) the more He will bless what we do up to the extend where we will see His blessings and they will leave us completely overwhelmed. In the end all that we have comes from God and He will increase what we have when we seek Him above all and live to bring glory to Him. ...

Today Reminder (Boxes) – 9 November 2017

A reminder for today   I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End [the Eternal One]. (Revelation 22:13 ) When you are reading this, I will be well on my way to my parents. Today is their moving day and we are off to help. Now, when it comes to moving I am almost an expert. We moved a few times and I can tell you it was never fun. Even still today our furniture starts to shake when a truck drives by. Now moving is all about boxes. Your stuff goes into the box and then onto the truck and finally at the new destination the stuff comes out of the box. One thing I can tell you is that with every move our stuff got lesser and lesser, because I gave some away that I thought we do not need anymore. Some would think I just made it less and easier to move. I would argue the opposite, but surely everyone is entitled to their own opinion. When we look at life it is a bit like moving. You see we experience things in life and we box it. This c...
