Yvette's Whispers of Faith

Live is a journey and sometimes I found myself walking in the desert or the wilderness?   In those times we find ourselves lonely, under pressure, isolated, estranged, without resources and really dependant on the help from the Lord up above.   In these times of hardship and correction I find that it is when we seem to grow stronger in our faith and draw closer to our Lord. Psalm 119: 1 – 8               Lord humbly I pray that You will bless me in my ways as I try and walk according to the law of the LORD.   I also pray that I may be blessed as I try and keep Your statutes and seek You with all of my heart.   I aspire Lord not to do anything wrong and walk in Your ways.   Lord You have laid down precepts that I try to fully obey.   Oh, that my ways are steadfast in obeying your decrees!   So that I would not be put to shame when I consider all Your commands.   I will praise You with an upright heart...

Such an inspirational little signature I saw today, it made me laugh and then I realised that we should do this more.   God made us all ‘outstanding’.    We are made in the perfect image of God, He breathed into our lungs and gave us life.   We are little ‘gods’ as we are His replica, so clearly we have very high quality and it makes us superior to most other objects.   Wouldn’t you agree? Praise the Lord our God for creating someone like you and me, ‘Outstanding’.   “… with God all things are possible.” Matt. 19: 26

I need some time out – just time to relax, lay soaking up the sun or reading a book, or knitting or something that I love and enjoy.   Perhaps going to the Spa for a whole day, being pampered and made to feel special again, reading Ephesians 1: 1-8 there I see Paul greeting us with a Godly greeting, speaking peace into our lives and then reminding us of the spiritual gifts and then I notice “God’s grace that he lavished on us”.   Now I am starting to think about the word lavish.   It means that God is able show us grace and spoil us ‘rotten’ or excessive.   Now that is something I would love to have for a change.   To be spoiled rotten and not feel guilty about it. Lord I am asking would You mind spoiling me rotten?  

I want to show my appreciation to the Lord my God, I know that God is in control over my life and I want to bless His holy name today.  I want to just come into my Lord's Jesus presence and say thank You.  Thank You for everything I have.  I want to say thank You for being in control over my life and the lives of my family and friends.  You Lord Jesus are my God and I want to say thank You, thank You, thank You.  I love You.

2 Corinthians 7 The Voice (VOICE) 10  Now this type of deep sorrow, godly sorrow, is not so much about regret; but it is about producing a change of mind and behaviour [ b ] that ultimately leads to salvation. But the other type of sorrow, worldly sorrow, often is fleeting and only brings death. God can change each one of our life’s around so that we will start looking at it in a new light, regrets of past sins and many time this can bring about deep sorrow, a godly sorrow so much so as to make us come to repent our sins and change our minds and behaviour which in turn will lead us ultimately to salvation.   By ignoring our sins and not going the root of repentance and making a decision.   We end-up with feeling of sorrow; this type of sorrow not really feeling bad enough about it!   We start justifying our situations and stance.   In the end we die and leave this life without a repentant heart and end-up ultimately in hell.
