Today Reminder – 25 August 2015 (Day 16 – You)



A reminder for today
Go out through the gates! Prepare the highway for my people to return! Smooth out the road; pull out the boulders; raise a flag for all the nations to see. (Isaiah 62:10)

I must say that each day in the gym proves to be an experience. There are the most interesting people in God’s creation. You get the newbie’s that has absolutely no idea what they are doing and they are on a “Men’s Health” workout that is recommended for advanced athletes on their way to an injury, then there are the models. They are the ones that visit the gym each day but most of their exercises are focussed on glancing in the mirror and looking around to see who noticed their impeccable physique, make up and designer wear. Then you get the power lifters, this group of extraordinary individuals are huge fans of “The Hulk” because they focus on lifting weights that far surpasses their strength, yet they make it look like it was a piece of cake. Then you find the muscle mania self-obsessed types. They have fairly good bodies and spend most of their workouts standing around and giving advice, while flexing. Then you find the tourist, they travel from machine to machine enjoying a good hours rest. Then you get the workers, they come in, they work hard and they go. They are always focussed and they train almost every day. Yes they are all unique and each one has their own individuality, yet it almost seems sad to see how we live past each other and focus so much on ourselves.

I love this verse. Go out through the gates! Prepare the highway for my people to return! We are here to show Jesus to the world and we fail terribly most of the time. We can be so self-consumed and worldly that we miss opportunities to change lives. Yesterday a friend reminded me that we must become more like Jesus.

Less of us more of Him – This means we will project who He is and give a clearer picture of His love to the people around us. This will not only affect other but change who we are and who we are meant to be. It is not about you, my friend. It is all about Jesus.

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...
