Are you fulfilled? I want to delight my God

Yellow Tulips

I am super excited in March 2012 this year I decided to plant my tulips that were in a pot plant which didn’t bloom last year.  On taking the tulips out of the ground I found that the tulips had multiplied and I thought let me plant them.  I have snapdragons growing and some ‘Afrikaners’ and other beautiful white daisies.

Now with winter almost over I still water my plants regularly I decided to take a look and see how my plants are doing.  On further inspection I saw that my tulips are budding.  I am so happy you cannot imagine.  With great excitement I call my husband to come and take a look at my little buds showing in the ground. 

Peeking out of the ground green little buds making their way up to the warm sun light inspires me and reminds me of our awesome God.  I had to remind myself of David when he spoke about the Lord ‘I delight to do your Will, O my God …’ Psalm 40: 8.  God sure knows what delights me and my husband has picked up on my favour for beautiful plants and flowers and loves to spoil me rotten.  Thank the Lord for such wonderful gifts and he is a blessing in my own life.

Be thankful and kinder to each other

Listen to people around you without interrupting them and speak to them without accusing.  I find that we are living in an age where people are just so arrogant and very rude.  It seems that people have no respect for one another and the way they speak to and about each other remains to be seen.  

Looking around me we are living in an age where people have so much to give but are more selfish and unforgiving.  On giving they seem to be giving sparingly and they just don’t care about each other. 

Let’s pray more for each other and let us carry each other’s burdens to the Lord in prayer.  Pray without stopping. 

I have been going through change within my own relationships and I used to argue so much.  It seems to be the norm in most relationships, a sort of an arrogance and self-centredness.  The hard thing to find out that you are acting badly and you have no real feelings for the people around you.  A loveless relationship which keeps you from hurt yourself but in the meantime we are sending out missiles to eliminate our family, friends and colleagues.

It is my desire to share without pretending.  I hope that I can do my best all the time and that I will make a difference in the lives of all the people around me.  Enjoying what I have without complaining, I have so much to be grateful of.  How awesome is my God.

I want the Lord to help me to trust without wavering and to forgive people without wanting to punishing them to always keep my promises and make sure I don’t forget what I promised.

Praise the Lord God

With a grateful heart I stand before You
 With a longing in my heart I praise Your name

Lord Jesus thank You for hearing my prayer
 Lord Jesus thank You for being near

I will worship and Praise Your Holy Name
 I stand in awe of Your great loving kindness

When I wake-up in the morning You are here
 When I go to work You are here

When I go home after work Lord Jesus You are there
 When I drive in the traffic Lord You are there

I stand in awe of Your faithfulness
 I stand in awe of Your greatness
I stand in awe of Your loving kindness
 I stand in awe because Lord You first loved me

A Poem to honour my Lord God

By Yvette van Niekerk

God has a rewards system

Firstly I want to say thank You to the Lord God for giving me the opportunity to write on my blog each day.  I don’t really always know what to say but through the Holy Spirit I am able to write a little something hopefully to inspire and help you too.

I have so much to be grateful over and I thank the Lord for being kind, loving and merciful towards me every day.  I have had a chance to relax and sit around in the sun and soak up the sun rays for a couple of months.  I have had the opportunity to start fine arts classes and learn how to paint beautiful oil painting.  Praise - the Lord God for giving me the time to do something different and help me grow.  I praise the Lord for a wonderful husband who seems to have nervous of steel and a heart of gold.  All the time putting up with all my tantrums, this man is wonderful and I love him too bits.

Yes, as far as I believe God has a reward system and when the time is right He rewards us for good work done.  I want to spend as much time with Him to grow spiritually through scripture.  I want to draw near to Him constantly.  1 Corinthians 3: 14 ‘He will receive his reward’ I trust in You Lord.

Insomnia – a little demon on your bed stand

Holy Spirit come and give us peace of mind

I say ‘insomnia’ is a little demon sitting on your bed stand waiting for you to go to bed and when you do it comes and sits on your pillow.  When you fall off to sleep this little demon starts screaming in your ear.  Sometimes it is something that is nagging at you, like let’s say your finances, he will sit and scream in your ear you are going to lose everything you have because you cannot pay all your debts.  He also can be sitting on the pillow next to you screaming into your ear about the way your wife or husband looked at that younger person.  If that doesn’t work he would start with how guilty you are of all kinds of acts.  Keeping in mind it is the little demon following you around because he knows what your problems are.

How can we counter act this little demon?  I say through the word of God.  I say we should call on God in the Name of Jesus Christ and speak life into our situations.  Yes, you husband or wife looked at the younger person and it made you feel old.  Yes agreed you have some financial difficulties but it is only for a short time.  No …. You won’t lose all you have it isn’t possible if you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Counter acting the demon with the Holy Spirit of God, calling on the Name of Jesus Christ.  I say speak life into your situation.  I will find that job best suited for me, yes I am a little short on cash but I am not bankrupt.  Yes we are going through a difficult time but hey I know God has something good in store for us.  Trails are there to grow me and you.  Trails make us stronger through faith and we get to grow more and more.

Lord Jesus help me face my little demons of worry and insomnia, I send them back to where they have come from in the name of Jesus Christ.  Holy Spirit I pray that You will give me peace of mind and the ability to have a good night’s rest.  Helping me to get up fresh and revived in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.

Glory to the Lord God in Jesus Christ's Name

Today in all humility I really want to give thanks to the Lord for being so faithful and loving towards my husband and our family.  I can honestly say that the Lord is awesome.  There are times when I was sure that the Lord had abandoned me.  

Anyway just for the record I want to tell you without a doubt that God is Almighty and He is awesome and most of all He will always help you through difficult times.  When it seems as though it is the darkest hour in your life just be patient and know God is working for the good of your situation.  

All honour and glory to the Lord God for being there when I needed Him in my life, Lord thank You for being in control of me and my husband’s life.  May the Lord help you too in your live today and may you know that He does answer prayer.

‘… You desire truth in the inward parts …’ Psalm 51: 6

Thank You Lord for being there for us.
