'My favor, pleasure, and goodwill I have had mercy .....'


Isaiah 60 Amplified Bible (AMP)
10 Foreigners shall build up your walls, and their kings shall minister to you; for in My wrath I smote you, but in My favor, pleasure, and goodwill I have had mercy, love, and pity for you.

As I read this I must tell you that for a very, very long time I felt as though my God had forgotten all about me.  I was praying but it felt as though my prayers were hitting a bronze dome not allowing my prayers to get through to the Lord.  I then started to look at my life with a microscope and investigate what was wrong and how I could rectify my situation.  

 Not that I have the power to do anything but I started eliminating all the things I felt was sinful in the sight of God.  I started making amends and asking for forgiveness and coming clean before God and man.

It has taken a couple of years to bring me to the place I find myself.  You don’t have any idea how difficult and embracing many of the things are to be asking for forgiveness and repentance of these things.  When I read this verse and realized that God has been looking out for me.  Yes I sinned and finally came to my senses, God is faithful and was standing behind me watching and waiting.  I kept at it until things started changing.  I am pleased to tell you that I believe God has mercy, love and pity for me and you.   

Come clean with what you know is wrong, repent from it and take up the cross again.  Jesus died on the cross for you and me, let us not give up now, life is so short.

Take care, in the Love of Jesus I greet you.

2nd Wedding Anniversary!

Hey, hey it is my 2 nd anniversary!   This has been an interesting time in my life and I must be honest I am starting to see the changes in my own life.    Firstly remember I am a city girl with this bad ass attitude, my way or the highway.   Ah, now let me tell you that doesn’t work like this.   My husband has a firm hand over me and keeps me in toe.   I am still my own person and have many new interests.    How was my day today?   Well the normal, got out of bed at 04h30 and then left the house by 06h00 arriving at work at 07h00.   Then to top it off in an early morning meeting at 07h30 to 08h30, then back in the office.   I worked on three projects; getting information from people isn’t that easy.   I firstly completed my own scope of work, followed up with the suppliers and then going back to the next person.   As I work according to my time keeping schedule I then finally got to lunch time.   I...

~ Reach Out if You Wish to Succeed ~ Galatians 5:13 – “By love, serve one another.”

Gentle reader, Permit me to offer this quiet truth: success does not arrive on satin cushions, announced by trumpets or tapping politely at your parlour door. No — it is more elusive, more noble in its pursuit. It often hides itself behind connections yet to be made, and relationships yet to be pursued. To flourish in this life, one must be bound — not by title or fortune — but by divine connection. For those who are destined to elevate you may not arrive unbidden. More often, it is you who must summon the courage to seek them out. Let us consider the evidence: Why is the newspaper sold on every corner, and the soda machine placed on every floor? Because success is positioned where the people are. Even our beloved Lord, Jesus — did He sit upon a high throne in a palace, declaring, “Only here may you find Me?” Certainly not. He moved among the people — to the market stalls, along the dusty shores where fishermen cast their nets, into the synagogues and modest homes. “He went through...
