Take up my cross daily




Luke 9: 23 ‘Then he said to them all:  “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.”

Hello darlings, how are you today?  I know taking up my cross each day is something I have to do and so do you.  Each morning when I rise and I face the day I can decide whether I am going to have a good day or a bad day.  Sometimes my circumstances don’t allow me to have a good day.

It will be a phone call or something I see on Facebook.  The only means right now in my life to bring the word of God to people around me is to write something on my day.  Looking in from the outside you probably would think, what can I offer you.  I don’t know if there is anything I can offer you, I am a woman with limited resources.  In that respect I cannot offer you anything, spiritually, I am doing as much as I can to get the word of my Lord and Saviour out into the world. 

Writing something as much as I can, the Lord saved me and died on the cross for my transgressions.  I am a child of God and I can trust in Him.  I don’t want to shame my Lord and let HIM down.  I want to let you and everybody else know that God loves you.  He son Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins.  He was raised on the 3rd day and sits on the right hand of Our Father God.  The Almighty God in heaven.
The Lords eyes on over the earth, searching for people who are serving Him, devoting their time and efforts in studying His word and drawing near to HIM.  

Take up your cross with me today, let us walk the distance and follow the Lord Jesus Christ.  Through Him we will have eternal life.  Take up your cross and come follow HIM.

This is my heart’s desire, that the Holy Spirit will come into Your hearts and mind today, that You may have a hunger and thirst to find our more about our Lord Jesus Christ.  Holding Him close to You and allowing the Holy Spirit to renew your minds, body and soul.  Changing you so that you too may become more like the Lord Jesus Christ.

Bless you as you read this today.
Amen

#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 ...
