Today Reminder – 05 June 2015 (Day 5 – Break the walls)

A reminder for today

Jesus replied, "My light will shine for you just a little longer. Walk in the light while you can, so the darkness will not overtake you. Those who walk in the darkness cannot see where they are going. Put your trust in the light while there is still time; then you will become children of the light." After saying these things, Jesus went away and was hidden from them. (John 12:35-36)

Become children of the light. These are simple words but a huge change in life. My boys are with me this weekend and I am so excited to spend undivided time with them. I have many mistakes and some days my past overshadows me and leaves me in darkness. My fear that I will not be the father that must be, and that am unable to restore a family home for these two precious little boys builds so much fear and leaves me in a dark place.

I have given my fears over to the Lord and I trust that He will show me the correct path and help me to restore what is broken and rebuild what I have lost. When Jesus says that we should put our trust in the Light while there is still time, it is just as relevant now as it was then. Life is short and why should we live in the past and allow it to dictate our journey when we can step into the light and follow His light. He can change any heart and restore any broken spirit. 

Our God is the God of the impossible and I trust that you will see the impossible become the possible not only in my life but in your life too. It is not who we are and what we have done. It is who we trust and who we will become. Many years ago a man walked up to me in church and said that God gave him a vision. God told him that I will do great things. Can you imagine how many times I have questioned this?

For God to use us, He must first bring us down so that He can rebuild us and then use us. I am broken beyond belief, but I am stronger in Him. You will see great things my friend. Do not be surprised, because you will see them in your own life.

Have and awesome day dear friend of Jesus

Today Reminder – 04 June 2015 (Day 4 – Break the walls)

A reminder for today

The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it. (John 1:4-5)

I find myself in a storm of emotions as each day brings more and more hurt. It is as if I am a sponge and I just soak it all up and there is no outlet to free me from it. I return to an old habit of just blocking all out and shutting myself down to the outside world as I try and make sense of it all. 

I think I have allowed my emotions to take over and thus destroying myself in the process. I feel lost and broken and I don’t know how to put it all back together again. I keep on trying to do this all by myself and I keep on losing the fight. 

At this stage in my journey my life is overrun by darkness and I fight to free myself from it. The Lord reminds me that I must stop trying to do this on my own and I must start to hand it over to Him and allow myself time to heal. The hurt will not go away as long as I focus on it. I should stand up again and let His light break my darkness.

I must allow Him to break this cage that I created for myself and seek His hand to free me from it. Nothing happens quickly and I should be patient and give the Lord the correct amount of time to heal and restore me.

Just as I am facing massive obstacles and the Lord continuous to guide and help me, you too are facing hard times. Let His light break the darkness and let Him lead us over the walls that separate us from Him. Let Him restore us and renew us as we seek refuge in Him.

Today Reminder – 03 June 2015 (Day 3 – Break the walls)

A reminder for today

The LORD is my light and my salvation—so why should I be afraid? The LORD is my fortress, protecting me from danger, so why should I tremble? (Psalm 27:1)

I am sick. A terrible flu forced me to stay at home and this was not so good. When I am surrounded by people I can focus on work and what needs to happen. But in my quiet moments alone I am bombarded by pain and heartache. A thousand emotions floods over me as I battle to stay above water.

It feels as if I am drowning in a storm of emotions and the pain that follows can be unbearable at times.

I am afraid and I tremble every moment in this maze of uncertainty. 

I miss my boys so much.

So today the Lord reminds us that, not only is He the light that guides us, He also is my salvation. In difficult times where we look at the walls that surround us and block us in cage of fear and depression, He will protect us and He will become the fortress that keeps us from danger.

I put my pain and my fear in His hands and I trust His guidance.

Today Reminder – 02 June 2015 (Day 2 – Break the walls)

A reminder for today

It is the LORD who created the stars the Pleiades and Orion. He turns darkness into morning and day into night.
He draws up water from the oceans and pours it down as rain on the land. The LORD is his name! (Amos 5:8)

This past weekend must have been my worst weekend ever. We had to tell the kids and my eldest son wanted to stay with me. Unfortunately that is not possible for he is still too young and here it is documented that children of their age must remain with the mother. My heart shattered into a million pieces and it took a lot to calm him and reassure him that all will be fine.

There were moments that I looked up desperately seeking Him. The Holy Spirit must have taken over, because in the midst of a huge argument He calmed me and made me see that He is there and all will be fine. I was so angry. I felt those walls rise up but the Lord came and destroyed them. He came and strengthened me. He came and turned my darkness into morning.

I felt helpless and defeated. This scripture just lifted my spirits. You see He created the stars and the Pleiades and Orion. Nothing is impossible for this God we worship. He draws up water from the ocean and lets it rain on the land. We might be in the midst of one of the greatest tests of our lives. We might find ourselves facing impossible odds. 

What you need to remember today is that the LORD is his name!  And He will not us face challenges above our own abilities. He is the Lord and nothing is impossible with Him. Let the rain from our oceans pour over the walls that made so that they will crumble and fall.

Today Reminder – 01 June 2015 (Day 1 – Break the walls)

A reminder for today

"Arise, Jerusalem! Let your light shine for all to see. For the glory of the LORD rises to shine on you. (Isaiah 60:1)

It is June. The year is flying by at a tremendous pace. The past two months has changed my life completely and brought so much pain and hurt into my little world. This month we are going to break the walls that keep us from Jesus and align us with His plan and His will.

My friend, today I want you to rise and let your light shine. The light that shines from within you is the light of Jesus and therefore nothing that you do can hide or break it. His light is the life force that drives us and strengthens us. He is the air that we breathe and the life that dwells in us. You are good enough. There is nothing that you do or did that can change the way God loves you.

When we rise today the glory of our God will shine on us and deliver us from the evil that wants to consume us. His glory will lift us up and restore us. I am not afraid anymore and I will not be dismayed. He is with me, standing beside me. He is my shelter and my tower of refuge. 

No matter what lies ahead, let us trust Him and fear no more. 

Come and let us allow Jesus to teach us and guide us so that we can break the walls that keep us from living completely. Let His light fill all of us and let us just worship Him.

I cannot live without Him. He is my God and King, my all.

Have and awesome day dear friend of Jesus
