Yvette's Whispers of Faith

Good morning, Abba Father, All glory and honor belong to You, Holy God. Today, I come to praise and worship You with all my heart. Thank You for the precious rain, a reminder of Your grace upon all creation. As I look out my window, I see the water nurturing the grass, plants, and all living things, a beautiful display of Your love. Thank You for this wonderful blessing, Lord. Father, I feel blessed to have this time to be in Your presence. You know me by name, You understand my heart, and You know my deepest thoughts. I’m grateful for each moment I can dedicate my life back to You, seeking to purify my heart, mind, and body in Your presence. As I continue this second day of fasting, I confess my struggles, Lord. I battle with negativity in my thoughts, actions, and words. Please forgive me for these shortcomings, for my anger and frustration. I lift up those around me, even those who test my patience, releasing them to You in Jesus’ name, asking that You bring them peace and fulfil t...

Lately, I've been struggling with a heavy feeling in my heart. It's like my own thoughts keep attacking me, accusing me of doing wrong things. I know as a Christian that these attacks come from Satan, but it's hard not to give in to them. It feels like Satan is always trying to hurt me, reminding me of my mistakes and making me feel guilty. I wonder why he's so determined to ruin my life. What does he gain if I give up? But as I think about it, I realize that there's only one who can truly save me: Jesus Christ. He's always there for me, ready to fight for me. Just like in the story where Jesus defended a woman who was accused of doing wrong, he stands up for me against my accuser.

But just like Jesus told the woman who was caught in sin, he doesn't condemn me either. He want...

By Yvette van Niekerk The imagery of someone peering down from a cliff, beholding the ocean's depths, evokes a profound analogy for the human journey. Picture yourself as that individual, standing on the precipice, gazing at the ocean's expanse below. From this vantage point, you notice the stark contrast between the shallow and deep areas of the sea floor. It's akin to the varied phases of our lives—moments of tranquility and security contrasted with unexpected plunges into the unknown depths. In our life's narrative, we often navigate through what seems to be serene, safe waters. It feels comfortable, familiar, and we traverse through existence with confidence. Yet, abruptly and without warning, we find ourselves treading on unseen, treacherous terrain, akin to inadvertently walking over a hidden underwater cliff. Consider this scenario through the lens of GOD's omniscient perspective. His vantage point transcends our limited view, encompassing all facets of o...
