Today Reminder – 22 September 2014 (Day 16 – My friend)



A reminder for today
But Jesus said, "Let the children come to me. Don't stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children." (Matthew 19:14)

We are not only a friend to God, but His children. These verses are so well known where Jesus called the children back as He explains that the kingdom of heaven is for those who are like children. Sometimes I think I am just a child in an adult body. I love being with my boys and to watch them play as their little imaginations have no boundaries. I want to turn these verses upside down a bit and show you the picture I have in my head. You see friends can do funny things together. Sometimes people will frown at you and think you are weird, but you and your friend understand it. It is that “only we get it” moments that best friends have. Now when Jesus calls back the children think of it like this: Jesus is your friend and as we turn to Him and follow Him faithfully, the Father turns to us and says “Do not stop my children, for my Kingdom are for those who follows my Son, for He is the way and the truth”. Being a friend of Jesus means that our friendship will soar and we will reach heights that other would think impossible. I tell you this from what I experience in my own life. I see Jesus as my best friend, and together we have done some pretty impossible things. He gives me wings so that I can soar high above all the worries of this life. He gives me strength so that I will never stop and He gives me wisdom so that I can do my work better than ever. And you know, He is your best friend too. Even if you do not think so, He surely does.  This means that you will see His glory in your life in all that you do and it will leave you stunned, just like it does to me. Come my friend, for our friendship in Jesus makes us limitless people with unlimited strength. Let us fly together, because when you are friends with Jesus, walking is so yesterday.

Have an 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...
