God’s want my all!


Isaiah 1:19 Amplified Bible (AMP)
19 
“If you are willing and obedient,
You shall eat the best of the land;"

I go to church on a regular basis, I pray and I constantly read God’s Word. I want to do more and yet, I feel that I fail dismally. In Mark 12 verse 30 God reminds us to give Him all of ourselves. Our hearts, mind, soul and strength everything. Are we succeeding in this?

My one friend spoke to me a while back and she said “Yvette, stop seeking all the blessings in your life. Start seeking God diligently, with all your heart, with all your mind, with all your soul and with all your strength and see how God blesses you. In the meantime I have been seeking God, I am sure I fail each and every time but I am still trying to get there. I believe that I am unable to do this if I don’t have God’s Holy Spirit within me. I will never be able to truly be a good person, only God is good.

Giving God my all, I have suffered everything in my God’s hands. My job, my relationships and my very own life. I know God is still working on areas in my life. I am a work in progress but I believe God’s Word. I am standing on His Word each day. He loves me, I believe that.
Reading Genesis 22 verse 17 to 18 “I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars … your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, and through your offspring, all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me.” I am still learning to fully give my life into God’s hands.

Prayer

Lord, humbly I come before You asking for forgiveness of sin. I surrender my relationships into Your hands today. Help me and place a guard over my mouth. I need You to guide and protect me. In the name of Jesus Christ Amen

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...

Wisdom in Trusting God

Proverbs 3: 5-6 NIV “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.” My journey has been really interesting and there are days when I find it really difficult to trust in God.  On those days I go and make all kinds of plans and I think and worry about the matter at hand and at the end of that day I am tired, frustrated and I feel sick to my stomach.  Are you able to relate?   It sounds so easy when you read these words “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;”  Many times I take my problems to the LORD and I leave them with the LORD and after some serious thinking and worrying I go back to the LORD and take the problems back. This has been something I did for a number of years and lately, I have realized it has to change, I have to trust in the LORD.  After all, God is the creator and knows the plans for...
