Dark clouds of Depression???



1 Peter 4: 12 ‘do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you.’

These past couple of days sure have been trying and I must be honest I am glad I have God to turn to.  I need to constantly pray Lord my God please set a guard over my mouth, keep watch over the door of my lips. So that I don’t destroy the good thing You are doing in my own life.  I used to get so upset and distressed when trial came my way.  I used to feel that I am worthless and not a real Christian.  My thinking would become desperate and I would almost find myself in a deep depression.  These past couple of days were just as difficult, I have to steel myself against my negative thinking, reminding myself of God’s grace, God’s love, God’s supernatural favour in my life. 

Looking at people around me it sure seems they don’t have a worry in the world, they seem to life live so easily.  No complications, no problems, it seems to be a breeze for all the people I know.  I am sure when you sit down and talk to them you would be surprised at what is really going on around and with them.

Darlings, take heart, don’t be too concerned when the fiery trials come your way; turn your attention to the Lord God.  Give them over to the Lord and watch as He works it out for you.  It may be difficult right now but be patient and trust in Him.  I am blessed and highly favoured, you too are blessed and highly favoured.  Have a blessed day, God bless you.

#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 ...
