You are a choice possession


James 1
(Verse 17-18)
Whatever is good and perfect comes to us from God above, who created all heavens lights. Unlike them, He never changes or cast shifting shadows. In His goodness He chose to make us His own children by giving us His true word. And we out of all creation, became His choice possession.
God never changes, He is always the same. He has no favorites and loves each one of us equally. God made you His own children and out of all creation we became His choice possession. What an awesome confirmation of His love for you. You are important to Him, and even more He wants you to be happy, to laugh and be joyful. He wants to be the center of your life. Let God be first in everything you do today. Let's give Him glory in every task that lies ahead of us.
(Verse 1-4)
Dear brothers and sisters, whenever trouble comes your way, let it be an opportunity for joy. For when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be strong in character and ready for anything.
 In your daily challenges you should not see them as problems, but instead you should look at them as opportunities. When you overcome these challenges you will grow stronger, and  new challenges will become smaller. Let us become fit for God and outrun the devil in every race. Let todays challenges become tomorrow's victory.
(Verse 5-6)
If you need wisdom-if you want to know what God wants you to do-ask Him, and He will gladly tell you. He will not resent your asking. But when you ask Him, be sure that you really expect Him to answer, for a doubtful mind is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.
When faced with your challenges, clear your head and ask God to tell what He wants you to do. Let Him guide and direct you, then the mountain will become a downhill path.
Open up and let God talk to you today, expect to hear His voice. See the path and follow His way.
You are His prize possession, He wants you to succeed against all odds. But more so, He wants to help you reach your goal and glorify His name. He wants all of us to be with Him.
Don't loose your focus.


To God be the glory and the power, forever and ever.

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...
