Today Reminder – 23 June 2014 (Day 16 – Stand up)



A reminder for today
Take control of what I say, O LORD, and guard my lips. (Psalm 141:3)

When we have fallen, do we accept our mistakes or do we go into blame mode? You see a lot of us fall by our own mistakes but we are too proud to see our own faults and then we start to blame. We shift the blame out of our own insecurities so that we can feel better about ourselves and maybe even free from the reason for our fall. We become blinded by our own inabilities as we seek to place the blame on other. We become cold and irritated and we start to say things that we shouldn’t. Our words become our weapon of destruction as we begin to hurt people for our own mistakes.

When we rise from the place where we have fallen we should rise a better person with gained knowledge and a better foundation. When we stand up we should stand on Jesus as the foundation from where we start. We should not seek vengeance and destroy other for our own mistakes. When we allow Jesus to become our starting block let us also ask Him to control what we say and guard our lips. 

Why do we need to break down when in Jesus we can rebuild. It does not matter in the end who made the mistake and who made you fall. It is how we stand up again and how we rebuild on the correct foundation. We are more with Jesus and we are stronger by His forgiveness and the very forgiveness we give and accept. We cannot carry on if we do not forgive ourselves. You cannot keep on blaming yourself when Jesus has already taken you burden for you. If you continue in that way you are a hypocrite and you go against the very core of our religion. Jesus is all love and all forgiveness. 

Live and rebuild by it. 

Have an 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...
