Hold on to Hope

Hold on to Hope

You know people in your life is going to disappoint you and fail you. There are people who will be spreading slanders words about you and stabbing you in the back. The sad part is, it's people in your inner circle, family and a best friend. I now know the only way forward in my own life never mind the people who try to trip me up, is the Lord Jesus Christ. I will hold on to the hope of Jesus. He will not let me down, He is faithful, He is reliable and He will be my shield and my covering. Even when there is injustice around me, I know people have turned against me. I can still hope that God is coming through for me. Romans 8: 36 CSB "As it is written: Because of you we are being put to death all day long; we are counted as sheep to be slaughtered. 37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Prayer O Lord God, You know my heart and You know my fears, my worries and my pain. I don't know how to deal with the emotional problems I am facing. I come to You now asking to help me, lift me up and let me have peace of mind. You know what people say behind my back, their knives are sharpened and they are stabbing me every now and then. I pray to forgive them, I do, please help me to ignore their spite and slander in the name of Jesus Christ my only hope. The hope I am holding onto, Jesus Christ. amen

How do you like yourself?

How do you like yourself? This is a hard question for me, there are times when I don't like myself and other times I do. I am frustrated with my hair. I had it cut into a picksie style and now I'm sorry I did my hair needs attention every single day. Blow dry and curling otherwise I look like a boy. In reading today's scripture I must tell you that the one thing I picked up is love your neighbour as yourself. Ahhh, I'm not a very kind person to myself, how can I be kind to other people? Actually, I am, I do treat people around me. I don't like to cause people unnecessary discomfort or stress. Romans 13:9-10 Jubilee Bible 2000 9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not murder, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet, and if there is any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 10 Charity works no evil to a neighbour; therefore, charity is the fulfillment of the law. I realised that God sees me and knows me and I am very loved by God. Living my life to the fullest and trying to be patient, loving and kind to everyone around me. It's a hard task my husband said to me Your name and You are exactly what Your name means. My name is from French origin "Yvette" and it meanse yew, archer. My husband reconks archer is my passion. I am a true warrior, always ready to defend and protect. Live is never boaring around me. I still find my peace in God, the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit is living inside of me. Yew tree is a coniferous tree. It has red berrylike fruits, and most parts of which ary poisonous. I read that the Yews according to folklore, parts of the tree are poisonous. The tree can live to a great age. And then I see it, longbows and cabinets, these items come from the timber of this tree. Prayer Oh Lord, You know and understand me, my name has some complications. I see that I am a warrior and there's the thing. I charge in and sort matter out. Please, Lord, I need You to show me that I am loved, I need to love people as myself. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen
