Letter to my friends

Dear Beloved Friends in Christ, I hope this message finds you in the peace and grace of our Lord. Today, I am compelled to share with you a powerful scripture that has been resonating in my heart. In Lamentations 3:21-22 (RSV), it is written, "But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases, his mercies never come to an end." As we meditate upon these words, let us be filled with awe and gratitude. Amid life's challenges, it is truly astounding to know that our hope rests in the unwavering love of the Lord. We must remind ourselves that we can find hope in the Lord's love, which is boundless and everlasting. His love never ceases; He will never cut us off. His mercies are inexhaustible and never come to an end. In these trying times, it is crucial to immerse ourselves in the Word of God. By doing so, we renew our minds and become like sponges, absorbing His teachings and wisdom. When life squeezes us, and we face trials and tribulations, what spills out of us is the beautiful aroma of God's love and grace. This fragrance is refreshing, and it stems from being filled with the Lord's Word. I have observed a lack of care and mercy in our interactions with one another. It pains my heart to witness the absence of essential virtues such as mercy and respect among us. In our journey as Christians, let us not forget to extend these qualities to others, just as the Lord extends His mercy and love to us. Let us bow our heads in prayer: "Dear Lord, we come before you with humble hearts, seeking your guidance and strength. Help us not to lose hope, even in the face of challenges. Teach us to place our trust in You and Your sacred scriptures. Grant us the wisdom and patience to navigate every situation life throws our way. Lord, we love and worship You, and we place our lives in Your hands. In the precious name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen." May the love and mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ be with each one of you, comforting and sustaining you in every moment. In Christ's love, Yvette

#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...
