Today Reminder - 18 October 2013 (Day 14 - Living in the Kingdom)



A reminder for today
These were his instructions to them: "You must always act in the fear of the LORD, with faithfulness and an undivided heart. (2 Chronicles 19:9)

Yes it is Friday. Wow, this week came to an end so quickly. How are you my friend and how are things on your side? I do hope all is well and that you are taking each day step by step. How are you doing in God’s kingdom? Are you struggling or are you succeeding and how are you doing in your personal time with the Lord. I do hope that you are spending more time with the Lord and that your relationship is growing. There is nothing that God desires more than to have a relationship with you and to spend time with you.

I have to share this with you. My oldest son is six and our youngest is two. Yesterday my oldest son told us that he has got a girlfriend and that she is very pretty. Now this caught me off guard because he is only six. So we were off to school and I dropped my oldest at his school and took our youngest to his pre-school. When we walked into his classroom these little girls came running to him, screaming in excitement to see him. I was speechless…

As I drove to work I was thinking about that and I realised that these little kids know something about friendship that we might have forgotten. The excitement to see each other and the genuine love that they display, not only in friendship, but also in acceptance of each other were just an eye opener for me. I realised again that each day we have with each other is a gift and something we should cherish and not do half hearted. We seem to get stuck in this fast passed world and we easily tend to forget about the things that are truly important like friends. 

We fear the wrong things when we should fear God with faithfulness and an undivided heart. So today I just want to remind you that you are my friend and I hold you deep in my heart and I treasure your friendship as I lift you up to the Lord. You know Jesus calls you friend and I believe that we should take this very seriously and understand that the Lord wants a relationship undivided and faithful to Him. This should be our foundation towards our friendship with each other. Thank you for being my friend and living to show the wonder of our Lord to all that you meet. You are just awesome my dear friend and so important. Let us never miss a moment where we can share our friendship and be excited to be friends.

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...
