One thing I have learnt over the years is that sometimes we forget God is a God of new beginnings and second chances.

We tend to always focus on the bad things and the wrong we have done which keeps us from really from serving God.

How many people do you know who will never step foot into a church because 'we don't know about the things that they have done.'

God specialises in giving people a new start. And He already went to really great lengths to make sure you are washed, cleansed from all unrighteousness and made whole & new again.

To be able to speak with kindness and wisdom is truly a gift from God... I pray God continously gives me the ability or at least reminds me to speak with wisdom and kindness, especially when a situation arises that may lead me to speak otherwise... 😁

When she speaks, her words are wise, and she gives instructions with kindness.
Proverbs 31:26 NLT

"It's ok not to be ok…" Been hearing this quote

"It's ok not to be ok..."

Been hearing this quote alot lately? This is a very influential quote in pop culture right now. And no, I'm not referring to the Netflix Series. Although the series also does have a lot to do with the quote as well. 🤔

But in whichever way you heard it, this is a very effective statement that is doing the rounds, and it holds so much of truth.

And while it is perfectly ok, not to be ok. The truth is that a mental state of being 'not ok' should never be allowed to be a permanent mental state.

While we do recognise the need for space and time to heal and recover from painful and traumatic situations. God ultimately says that we need to get up, dust ourselves off and get on with it.

Wallowing in self pity and not finding resolutions to every difficult situation we face is ultimately a recipe for disaster...

Let me remind you that the Bible says, that you are more than a conqueror. Which means that with Christ, you will be able get over whatever it is you are going through, but... you will not only be able to get over it but you will get through this season with a overwhelming victory.

Being more than a conqueror means that what ever you are going through, no matter how difficult, is only going to make you stronger. Make you wiser and make you more compassionate towards others who are also going through the same thing.

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
Romans 8:37 NIV

Turn it Around Feeling Stressed out and anxious?

Turn it Around

Feeling Stressed out and anxious? Well, stress and anxiety usually stem from a feeling of a loss of control in situations that overwhelm us.

Trusting God to take care of situations that we have no control over has to be one of the biggest difficulties that people face. It sounds so easy to say 'I'm not going to let this situation worry me', when you are facing a really desperate need or circumstance.

But here's the thing, God doesn't say not to face your trouble head on.There are countless experiences of people facing their troubles head on in the Bible. But the thing that stands out is, those whose trust was in the Lord, whatever they faced, those troubled experiences did not destroy them.

Daniel went into the Lions Den, Meshack, Shadrack and Abednego went into the fire. Abraham put Isaac on the altar. Jesus was arrested.

Seasons of trouble come, but seasons of trouble always go. That is because God has a habit of turning things around, He has a habit of changing things around. He turns all things for good to those that love Him. He turns your mourning into dancing, He turns your sorrow into joy.

God wants to remind someone today that He has said not to worry. Not to be worried or to be concerned about the outcome. He does not want you to fear the unknown.

Please remember that irrespective of what the outcome of your situation is, God has promised you perfect peace in the midst of your storm, He has promised you that He shall always be with you, and He shall never leave you or let you go.

My friends, guard your heart, and mind and do not let it be troubled.

▫️You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.
Isaiah 26:3 NIV

▫️And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:7 NKJV

▫️These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
John 16:33 NKJV

▫️The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”
Deuteronomy 31:8 NIV

Let's face it, the last two years have been awful.

Let's face it, the last two years have been awful. This pandemic has really taken its toll on us all and I'm sure we can all safely say that we are tired, drained and just about had enough.

A weary world indeed... So, let me just quickly remind you that if your year has been rough, or if you have suffered some loss or just battling fatigue, it's ok. You are allowed to be tired, you are allowed to have moments of weakness.

And it doesn't mean that if you do not feel festive that you cannot feel the thrill of hope or feel the joy of the birth of Christ.

It's for times like this that we feel even closer and even more grateful for Jesus.

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28 NIV
