Soos ‘n Steenmaker het U klei gemeng en sorgvuldig in steenvorms gegiet tot ‘n duursame eindproduk wat tot deur die wêreld beny word..
Soos ‘n Bouer het U met stowwe van die aarde sement gemaak en met baie geduld steen vir steen waterpas gelê op ‘n stewige fondasie wat alle storms sal kan weerstaan..
Soos ‘n Verwer het U die mooiste kleure gekies en met toegewyde passie en tegniek my mure geverf wat my persoonlikheid kunsinnig weerspieël..
Soos ‘n Binnerversieder het U al my verwatinge oortref met U styl en funksionaliteit wat alles van my menswees bymekaar bring..
Soos ‘n Inspekteur het U seker gemaak dat die bloudruk van my lewe ooreenstem met U volmaakte plan en my U bloedgewaarmerkte waarborg gegee..
Vir my Veilighed het U ‘n legioen engele aangestel om my en my geliefdes 24huur te bewaak..
Soos ‘n trotse Eienaar het U-self die deur van my lewe gaan oopsluit, my die sleutel in my hand gesit, my vertrou om ‘n goeie rentmeester te wees en my die outoriteit gegee oor my eienaarskap..
Ek love my huis Here
Ek love my lewe Here
Ek love U
Hopefully you will force yourself 2 reach out & do something about it
For as long as I can remember I 've always struggled with negative thoughts…. Thoughts of insecurity; that I’m not clever enough, pretty enough, good enough – especially when I hear of someone else’s success or breakthroughs. I would ponder for days on ‘what have I done wrong’ or ‘did not do’ to have the same favour as others have had. Some days I don't even give it a thought and then there are those days.....
For the most part I am content with what I have when it comes to material things. It’s just that I’m at a place in my life where I question the direction of my life. Am I at the right place - my ministry, my job, my marriage, my friends, the choices I make ~ I feel weak, fragile, drained, wearied. It’s as if I’m in a desert place and there is just no way out – whatever way I choose to go on it’s just not where the oasis is. Maybe I walked straight into the desert because of the mystified choices I’ve made or maybe I just drifted towards the desert without recognizing the danger .... I don't know how I got here. Or when. I just know I am here.
God, can You hear me? I want more. I want out. What am I missing?
You know me Jesus-----this isn't me. I'm drowning in the quick-sand of life. My visions are blurry and my steps far from steadfast. I'm overwhelmed by all the disappointments and the unanswered prayers. The battle has been hard and fierce. I have failed. I'm terrified and alone - Am I dead? Please don't take Your Holy Spirit away from me....
Then I hear A gentle voice in the wind…..
~ Isaiah 43 .18-9
Dear reader. I prophecy this scripture over you who are broken hearted, wearied, confused, disappointed….
~ Hosea 2.15 ~ I will give her, her vinyards from there, and the Valley of Anchor as a door of hope; she shall sing there as in the days of her hope, as in the day when she came up from the land of Egypt.
LORD, the God of Israel...there is no one like You in heaven above or on earth below. You who keep Your covenant of love with Your servants who continue wholeheartedly in Your way.
The heavens, even the highest heaven, cannot contain You. Yet You give attention to Your servant’s prayer and his plea for mercy. When the heavens are shut and there is no rain because Your people have sinned against You, and when they pray toward You and give praise to Your name and turn from their sin because You have afflicted them, then hear from heaven and forgive the sins of Your servants, since You know their hearts. Teach them the right way to live, and send rain on the land You gave Your people for an inheritance.
And may these words of mine, which I have prayed before the Lord, be near to the Lord our God day and night, that He may uphold the cause of His servant and the cause of His people according to each day’s need, so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the Lord is God and that there is no other.
