Today’s journal (Kindness) – 11 November 2019


In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. (John 1:4-5)

What is kindness to you? I think that kindness has a direct link to the unconditional love of God. Where is your heart and what is your priorities? This Sunday we spoke about generosity and how easy or difficult it is to give. When you take a simple example as a Sunday lunch and how much it costs. Sometimes we spoil ourselves on Sunday and we eat out, but what if you gave up one luxury once a month and give that to the church in their quest to help those in need and the less fortunate. There is so much need in our world and the best way to reach those people with the gospel is through kindness. How many times a day do we act in such a way that Jesus is visible in our lives?

I must admit I have to stop myself some days when I realise, I am irritated by traffic and annoyed by circumstances to just hold a moment and realign myself with God’s heart. No wonder we do not hear God’s voice, because our minds are filled with our “self-noise”. I think my Mom is probably one of my best examples of selflessness and humility. She is a pillar in my life but also a true example of unbreakable faith. I often look at her and ask how she does it and where does she find her strength, but it is so obvious in her way of life that her strength is Godly strength.

There is no life in this world that will satisfy you, the only life that changed me completely and uplifted me is the life I found in Jesus Christ. The darkness will never comprehend it, because it drives me. Fear is hope that the enemy is stealing from you so stop fearing that you will not have enough and give so that God can bless your gift and bless you. Jesus took five loaves of bread and two little fish and He fed over five thousand people. Why do we doubt Him? There is so much more to this life and love (charity) is the one thing we can use to break the enemy. 

Today I will give and I will trust and I will move mountains.

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...
