Yvette's Whispers of Faith

You may be a South African citizen and perhaps you have had better experience than I, but as of late I must be honest in telling you service in our country is really bad.   I find the shop attendants believe they are doing you a favour to service you. Walking up to the till to pay for your purchase, you never get greeted.   You say good day, with a smile and the person behind the till ignores you.   ‘Do you want a plastic bag?’   Sour faced and really not happy to be there, she starts scanning the products over the scanner, having an in-depth conversation with the lady who packs the purchased products into your plastic bags. After she has scanned all products, you tell her, ‘Cheque account, please.’   She looks you in the eye and asks you “Savings?”   My dear husband always has a fit there and then; thank goodness he doesn’t say anything.    People in jobs take it for granted that they have employment and they think they are d...

Pearls for today:  Hebrews 9: 24 ‘For Christ did not enter a man-made sanctuary that was only a copy of the true one; he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God’s presence.’ Thank you Lord Jesus.

  John 12: 26 “Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, my servant also will be.   My Father will honour the one who serves me.” Come take this opportunity and serve the Lord, it will bring you into right standing with the Father.

Matthew 5: 4-5  ‘ Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.   Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. ’ Looking at the beatitude and trying to place myself before God, I have come to a place in my own life.   Asking for forgiveness of sins and in my asking – now - come before God in ‘ poor spirit’ .   This resulted in my ‘ mourning over my sinful nature ’ and praying for forgiveness of my own sin.   In my own heart I have come humbly before the LORD God asking Him to forgive me.    Now correct me if I am wrong, but would you say that I can use the Sermon on the Mount as a way to guide someone to the LORD Jesus Christ?    I came to the LORD through the reading of the beatitudes.  Be blessed and consider whether your life is right with God, can you honestly say you will go to heaven the day you put your head down and rest your body.    Will your spirit be leaving it and ...

Jeremiah 29: 11 ‘For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’ The LORD has plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.   Grab it with both your hands; mediate on it day and night.      Thank you Lord Jesus.

Matthew 5: 3 ‘Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.’ Is your heart broken, do you feel down and alone?   Take heart, the Lord our God is aware of your circumstances.   Draw near to the Lord and let Him heal your broken heart, let Him come into your life and fill you with His spirit and take away your loneliness.
