Today Reminder – 18 February 2014 (Day 12 – Love is…)



A reminder for today
Therefore, let all the godly pray to you while there is still time, that they may not drown in the floodwaters of judgment. (Psalm 32:6)

Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance…

I must say that these words are the ones that made me think for quite a while. Firstly love never gives up, but why does so many relationships fail? Secondly, love never loses faith, yet so many turn their backs on God. Thirdly, love is always hopeful, but why do we give up so easily? And lastly love endures through every circumstance, but as soon as things do not go our way we forget all about love.

At times it must seem as if love is just a nice word when you look at the way the world displays love. The television is a huge help for us and in every series or advert we see love displayed as something that we can manipulate and changed according to our needs. Love has been made cheap by a world that has forgotten what love really is. 

Instead of listening and understanding we would rather argue and fight. Instead of giving we would rather take, want and desire more. Instead of facing our battles together we would let people stand alone. We do not compliment anymore nor do we give people the respect they deserve. We think we can say what we want and that it is ok. We turn our backs on pain and we follow the wrong examples. We change the definition of love in our homes, but we expect our kids to love according to an example they never saw. We talk about Jesus to our kids but we never pray and we never do things as a unit. We have become the failure of love that does not exist in a society that calls themselves Christians yet they do not know who Jesus is.

Where is love? Listen to David’s words: Therefore, let all the godly pray to you while there is still time. I do not know about you but I am stumped right there. I feel how I need to bring love back into this world, but love as it is defined by Paul. Love not only to my loved ones, but to everyone I meet and to everyone I know. Love never gives up so why should I?  Love never loses faith, so why would I fear? Love is always hopeful, so why should I ever be negative? Love endures through every circumstance, so come what may for I am on my knees fighting the enemy at the gates and I will not fall nor will I fail. 

I will not drown in the floodwaters of judgement, because I am love and love is in me. The Lord says, why do you enter with a fearful spirit when I am with you. Keep your head high for I will deliver you and I will lift you up and I will give you victory, for you are mine and I love you. Rise mighty warrior!!

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...
