Today Reminder – 18 October 2016



A reminder for today
Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other's faults because of your love.(Ephesians 4:2)

A warm smile and a happy face can make old grumpy feel a little better. A little love and a little understanding can change the world. A humble heart and a gentle manner can transform people’s hearts and turn bad into good. To be patient is one the hardest things in this world. Almost all of us want things to happen immediately. We want something then we want it as soon as possible. This typical human behaviors has been exploit by so many companies when you look at the marketing. But this borderline greedy manner has made so many good people fall very hard.

Then you have the professional fault finders. They are those people that preys on your mistakes and reminds you and the rest of the world about them. They are the perfect ones that live without fault in their own perception, yet they make just as many mistakes. 

Not only have I done it too, but so many of us are lead into disaster by these two behaviors. We get greedy and we want something now instead of being happy with what you have. Then we love to look at other and emphasize their faults. 

So how do we cure this world of this terrible thing. We can start by looking at the humble and gentle life of Jesus Christ when He was here on earth. He wanted nothing else but to help other. He did not need much and He lived glorifying His Father with all He did and most of all – He did what God wanted and followed His Father’s will right to the end.

So today I challenge you to make this change in your life. Be contempt with what you have and look for the good in everyone. Be humble and gentle and patient.

Lord, let your will be done here on earth as it is in heaven. In Jesus name.

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...
