Today Reminder (Motivation Wednesday) – 1 November 2017



A reminder for today
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. (Psalm 91:13)

It is the first of November and the year is basically at its end. The shops are setting up their Christmas decorations and people are finalizing their holiday plans. The exams are a mere week away and then it is all over. Unfortunately, we still have a massive amount to do before this month is over. My parents are in the last few days on the farm and they are moving next week. It is just all rushing by like crazy. 

So, today I thought I will attempt my writing at motivating you guys into the last part of the year so that we will all unite in celebrating the birth of our Lord and saviour. So here is a few famous guys and their quotes:

“God loves each of us as if there were only one of us”- Augustine

Employ whatever God has entrusted you with, in doing good, all possible good, in every possible kind and degree…- John Wesley

“Faith does not eliminate questions. But faith knows where to take them.” ― Elisabeth Elliot

“We never grow closer to God when we just live life. It takes deliberate pursuit and attentiveness.” ― Francis Chan

“We may speak about a place where there are no tears, no death, no fear, no night; but those are just the benefits of heaven. The beauty of heaven is seeing God.” ― Max Lucado

 “He said “Love…as I have loved you.” We cannot love too much.” ― Amy Carmichael

 “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”   – Martin Luther King Jr.

“Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows; it empties today of its strength.”   – Corrie Ten Boom

My dear friend, God is so impressed with you and He desires more time with you. You are stronger than you think, and you are able to do much more than you think. Do not allow the limitations the enemy wants you to see become your measure. Your strength is from God and in Him we are limitless. Do not attempt life on your own but let God guide and direct you. If He is for us, who can be against us. With Him we can face storms, walk on water and heal the sick. With Him we can move mountains and change the hardest of hearts. The enemy wants you to feel weak and insignificant, but God wants you to soar and be victorious. God wants you to be happy and to share your joy. He wants us to dance and sing and laugh and love and live. He wants you to be the amazing person that you are, because you are wonderfully created.

Lord, thank you for all that you do. We love with all our hearts and we ask that you fill us with your strength and guide us through this day. In Jesus name. 

Have an awesome day, dear friend of Jesus. 

Cheers
