Who am I to be today?

Good morning, the question that is laying heavily on my heart today is “Who am I to be today?” When I was going to bed last night I was contemplating revenge. I am so angry about a situation in my life right now. I thought okay, let’s me see “don’t get mad, get even.” This morning I woke up, sat down and started my prayers. I started off praying for my granddaughters asking God to give them courage and let them seek mercy. I was also thinking let the Lord teach them grace and peace in their lives. How can I be so angry and keep revenge in my heart? Of course, I will let it go. Thinking about my thoughts, of taking revenge I realised this is going to turn me into an old hag. So that brings me to ‘who am I to be today?’ Right now I know that I am supposed to be a gracious forgiving person. I know that I am to let go, and let God. So I have decided to trust in God. Lord, my prayer is simple and I want to pray that You O God, will vindicate me. Please will you plead my cause against the person? I am asking You Lord to rescue me. I declare Lord God You are my stronghold. Please do not reject me. Please let me be free from this oppression I am facing today. Lord send forth your light and your truth. Lord guide me and let me bring joy to You. Bring me into your Holy Mountain to the place where You dwell. I will go to the altar of God, to God, my joy and my delight. I will praise you, O God, my God. Because my soul is downcast and disturbed within me, I will put my hope in You Lord, God. I will praise You and love you as You are my Savior and my God. Who am I to be today? I am Forgiving and merciful, trusting in God who is Sovereign. Who will you be today?

#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...

The View from the Sycamore Tree

"Ill-gotten treasures have no lasting value, but righteousness delivers from death. The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry, but he thwarts the craving of the wicked. Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth." Proverbs 10:2–10 Reflection The Turning Point: I used to think that by this stage of my life. The path was already set in stone. I looked at the mirror and saw the silver hair and the lines of age. I felt as though I was simply watching the clock run out on my dreams. I’ve spent years in the "midlife crisis." Wrestling with the ghosts of regrets, careers that didn't flourish, relationships that felt the strain of time. The nagging fear of being "less than" in a world that prises youth and worldly success. But then I saw Zacchaeus. He was a man who had spent his life traveling in the wrong direction. Chasing "ill-gotten treasures" that left his soul hungry. When he climbed that tree, he wasn't just trying t...
