Be thankful and kinder to each other



Listen to people around you without interrupting them and speak to them without accusing.  I find that we are living in an age where people are just so arrogant and very rude.  It seems that people have no respect for one another and the way they speak to and about each other remains to be seen.  

Looking around me we are living in an age where people have so much to give but are more selfish and unforgiving.  On giving they seem to be giving sparingly and they just don’t care about each other. 
Let’s pray more for each other and let us carry each other’s burdens to the Lord in prayer.  Pray without stopping. 

I have been going through change within my own relationships and I used to argue so much.  It seems to be the norm in most relationships, a sort of an arrogance and self-centredness.  The hard thing to find out that you are acting badly and you have no real feelings for the people around you.  A loveless relationship which keeps you from hurt yourself but in the meantime we are sending out missiles to eliminate our family, friends and colleagues.

It is my desire to share without pretending.  I hope that I can do my best all the time and that I will make a difference in the lives of all the people around me.  Enjoying what I have without complaining, I have so much to be grateful of.  How awesome is my God.

I want the Lord to help me to trust without wavering and to forgive people without wanting to punishing them to always keep my promises and make sure I don’t forget what I promised.

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.    Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.   Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.    One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.   As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.    Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.   I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today.   I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

Help Me Stay True in Giving God His Tithe

Can I be real with you for a minute? Tithing is something I wrestle with. I try my best to be faithful, giving to the best of my ability. But let's be honest, sometimes I look around and see others who seem to be blessed in ways I'm not. They have this financial ease, this "caliber" of blessing, that can feel a world away from my own reality. And in those moments of doubt, a quiet, gentle voice reminds me: I am blessed. God does provide. He has come through for me more times than I can count, often in ways I didn't even see until later. He's always there, picking me up when I've lost it and guiding me when I'm blind to the path. My heart is so grateful for that. But my thinking still needs work. My human nature kicks in and whispers, "I earned this. I worked for this salary." It’s a constant battle to get my heart aligned with the truth. And the truth is found in verses like this: “A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the ...
