Reflections of faith (Stand) – 25 March 2019


Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. (Psalm 19:14)

I have not written to you in a while. I have been battling through some of the toughest battles yet combined with work and time and disappointment that just added to my list. I am still standing, and I am still fighting and there will always be hope.

I stand before you Lord broken and in pieces. My heart is empty and the pieces of what is left is slowly replaced and repaired by you’re amazing grace. Fill the void with your Spirit and with your Word. Let your love and mercy be clear in my life as I stand up once more facing another day. Let me walk in your path as your rod and your staff protect me. Let the words of my mouth be acceptable and let me speak life over me and everyone I meet. Be my guide and take me to streams of peace and tranquillity so that my soul will find rest. My trust is in you, Lord and I my hope is you. Open my eyes so that I can see and open my heart again so that I can be free. Let your love fill my whole being and let that love be visible in my way of life. Take my fears and my pain and replace it with strength and acceptance and repair what is still broken. Make me the man you saw when I was still an unborn infant and let your plans for my life fall into place. Let the disappointment that I feel be replaced by forgiveness and let me rise up and defeat my enemy. Open my eyes to the lies of the enemy and to the truth that is in you, Lord. You are the only way and the truth, and the life and I want to embody that truth and that life. I want to be the light that shines in my darkness and the lighthouse that will guide other. I am yours and because I am yours no other can claim me and no other can change me. I am who I am, and I am what you say I am. I am not what the world says of me I am forgiven, free and a new creation. Today we stand. Today we fight. Today we live. I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord and they are plans of prosper and they are good. 

Have an awesome day. 

I love you, my friend in 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...
