Today Reminder – 29 July 2015 (Day 16 – Forward)



A reminder for today
This is what the LORD says—your Redeemer and Creator: "I am the LORD, who made all things.  I alone stretched out the heavens. Who was with me when I made the earth? (Isaiah 44:24)

Out of the darkness and into the light. I realised today that to move out of a painful or shameful past is not so easy. There is always something that reminds you of the mistakes you have made. I fear that I will step into that same person and make the same mistakes again. I find it really difficult to move forward. Everyone at my work now knows of what I have done and I can feel the looks and the stares as some of them seem to keep the memory of my past alive. So what happens is that everywhere I go I feel that same stare from other people as I assume they too know of my mistakes.

These types of thoughts are what the enemy uses to push us back into the darkness. It is the enemy’s way to keep us behind bars and to keep us away from the light. My friend sometimes we just need a little time to see. Sometimes our hurt blinds us and keeps us from the truth. 

The Lord reminds us today that He is our Redeemer and Creator and that He made all things. He alone can pull us out of the darkness and into the light. So today I long for the marvellous light of Jesus as I realise that I need Him first and foremost in my life and that I need to place me first for a while so I can find me again.

I need to rebuild and repair a life time of mistakes and only Jesus can do that. Jesus is my only hope and I will open my heart for my shame is exposed so that I can feel His mercy as I move from darkness to light.

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...
