Yvette's Whispers of Faith

Let me tell you about this man, Andus van Niekerk.   He is a gentle, kind hearted man with beautiful blue eyes and ash blonde hair.   His kind and gently disposition makes him seem aloof but he actually is listening to every word I say.   Never judges and never compares me to other women.    Thinking of my husband, companion and best friend and wanting you to know just how much I love him and how in love I am with him.   I can remember the first time we met.   Both of us still in primary school, he had such beautiful white blond hair and his blue eyes were perfect.   We were good friends and I was his girlfriend for a while.   Then of course we both grew up and went our separate ways.   After 30 years I received an email message from Andus.   “Would you like to go for a coffee?”   My goodness, I couldn’t believe it.   ‘Yes, why not.’ We met at a restaurant not too far from my little town house.   It w...

It was so hot and dry you could taste the dust in your mouth.   Miriam was standing in her tent watch the children playing outside in the heat.   She was sticky and hot and irritated today.   This Cushite wife of Moses wasn’t as far as Miriam was concerned a proper wife for an important person like Moses.   There were so many beautiful white women in their camp that he could have taken any one of them to be his wife.   But can you believe her brother decided on marring a black woman. Walking around her tent with her mind mulling over the situation she stopped a moment and then walked over to Aaron.   Aaron was sitting in the doorway of the tent relaxing as he had done most of his duties earlier in the morning.   Looking up at his sister walking towards him with her black curly hair tied up.   As she came closer she sat down next to him on the mat in the doorway of the tent. ‘You know Aaron, I really don’t understand Moses.’ Miriam sai...

I have made a mental decision that I am going to succeed at everything I do because God has already determined my destiny.   I have been thinking about how negatively I have been living for almost my entire life.   Today I have decided that I am not going to make the same mistake twice.    I will be a success as I believe God has ordained it for me, for you and for all of us who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. God has a definite purpose for my life and I aim to find out what it is and work towards it.   God is my architect and He is building my life, stage-by-stage.   With God’s word in my hand and me on my knees I am sure that I can find out what, where and whom I am supposed to be. Reading my daily devotion I have taken something away from it that I am built to become more than I anticipated and I want to be efficient and I want to use my whole being in becoming a fully developed Christian. My past was very trying and I cried so m...

Darlings how awesome is our Lord God, lets focus on God’s word today and see what He is telling us in Isaiah 43: 25 lets read this ‘I (God), even I (God), am he (God) who blots our your (me/you) transgressions, for my(God) own sake, and remembers your (me/you) sins no more.’ Add caption Wow, now as far as I can see God is telling me and you today that God is blotting out my/your transgressions!   So what are transgressions?   It could be something you did wrong, or a disobedience, or offenses?   Now God is stating that He is doing this for His (God’s) own sake, and believe it or not He (God) is forgetting your sins. How awesome is our God, the things we did wrong and we have confessed them to Him in humble prayer or confessions.   God heard them and is saying to you and me – He is blotting them out for God’s own sake!!!!    A quote I read early this morning ‘When in doubt, choose change.’   I believe that if you are doubti...

In the hands of the Potter I am the clay Lord and You are the Potter Life it seems is very difficult and painful You are forming me and shaping me Tears run down my cheeks, help it hurts! Be still my child, I know what I am doing. Lord please I am trying but I seem to be failing. The Potter is molding this in to something beautifull Be still my child, I know what I am doing. Help me not to resist You today Lord Guide me and show me the way forward The bending and twisting of my life is excruciating! I want to fight back and make it go away. Be still my child, I know what I am doing. I don’t know when I would be as beautiful as You Help me stay focused on You Lord! Father God in Jesus Christ’s Name I trust You Completely!!!!
