Today Reminder – 28 February 2014 (Day 20 – Love is…)

A reminder for today The righteous person faces many troubles, but the LORD comes to the rescue each time. (Psalm 34:19) Love is you and me and Jesus Christ… Today is the last day of our theme and I thought to end it with a love story. You know a nice Disney fairy tale where a princess meets a prince and then through a battle with an evil stepmother and hungry dragons finally they prevail and then the prince kills the dragon and the stepmother is captured and jailed and then they all live happily ever after. But then I thought that there is no greater love story than the one where a King decided that He loved His people so much and they so desperately needed help to survive the battles they were in each day and to overcome their struggles, that He send His only Son to live with them. But they were corrupted and evil and their hearts were filled with pride and hate. So they captured the Son and tortured Him. This was not enough for them for their lust and greed over p...

Today Reminder – 27 February 2014 (Day 19 – Love is…)

A reminder for today I prayed to the LORD, and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears. (Psalm 34:4) Love is the greatest… Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love. As we are coming to the end of our theme and also to the end of February I can’t help but to think how quickly time is passing us by and how little time we actually have on this earth. Paul’s words are not only extremely familiar and well known but also so important. Faith, hope and love – three things we can never lose and three things that will be with us always and forever. Love is the one that will last and love is described by Paul as the greatest. I do not want to evaluate Paul’s message, but instead I wish to leave you with this: Love is the one thing that can change us and change people around us. Love can break barriers and soften stubborn hearts. Love can warm the hearts of people and love can melt ice. Love can be given and given and love can ...

Today Reminder – 26 February 2014 (Day 18 – Love is…)

A reminder for today We put our hope in the LORD. He is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. Let your unfailing love surround us, LORD, for our hope is in you alone. (Psalm 33:20-22) Love is understanding… All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely. As we start to love as God intended us to love we will understand more and accept more. We will be open to see clearly and love completely, just as God completely loves us. We will put our hope in God as it is supposed to be and with this God will help us and be our shield. Our love is fragile and God’s shield is so important in this time. God’s unfailing love will surround us and we will be strong even when the winds are howling past us and the storms of live thunders over us. Let us put our hope in the Lord alone. We cannot trust God and worry, we can only do one. So trust God and leave your ...

Today Reminder – 25 February 2014 (Day 17 – Love is…)

A reminder for today The LORD looks down from heaven and sees the whole human race. (Psalm 33:13) Love is thoughts…  Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. Now we see imperfect but then we will see with perfect clarity. I tell you that these words keep me in wonder so often. I realise that we see unclear as we are so often blinded by a world that continues to try and change our perceptions with all the wrong things. I can’t help but to feel sorry for those still in worldly chains chasing after material things and the admiration of people. I have so often wondered what it will look like when we see with perfect clarity and all suddenly make sense. I believe that everything has a purpose and that all things happen to take us on our journey towards Jesus and for the very purpose that we were designed for. Oh how I long to see clearly. Each day we travel on the roads of life and we m...

Today Reminder – 24 February 2014 (Day 16 – Love is…)

A reminder for today Let the whole world fear the LORD, and let everyone stand in awe of him. (Psalm 33:8) Love is hugs and kisses… When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. I think that this love theme has been quite educational and at times much needed. I fear that we might confuse the importance of love with the understanding of the origin. It is once again important that we remember that God invented love and for us to completely love we must remember who God is and I can only stand in awe when I think of the wonders that He brings into my life. It is my goal to know more of Him and to fear Him correctly. I want to end this theme this week by brining short love moments to you. I do hope that you enjoy them as much as I did.  Today, my dad came home with roses for my mom and I. “What are these for I asked?” He said that several of his coworkers were complaining about their wives and chi...
