Yvette's Whispers of Faith

This morning I have come to the conclusion that I cannot go back into the past and change my behaviour and what I said and done.   I can only start today and make a new ending.    I want to start my days off with spending time in God’s presence and making sure that I can sit at His feet and learn from Him.   It is my desire to change my way of thinking and renewing of my mind.   Staying focused on Him. ‘Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He will give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart.’ Psalm 37: 4 Come and delight yourself in the presence of the Lord, let Him give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart.   God bless each one of us today in Jesus Name I pray.   Amen

Whooooo are You? Life can be so meaningless at times, we all run around doing so many things trying to do everything precisely the way we feel and think it should be.   But who are you?   Are you creative, wise, loyal, childlike, kind, loving, honest, trusting, giving, independent, original, smart, goofy, enthusiastic, playful, compassionate, beautiful, authentic, open-minded, spontaneous, passionate, dedicated? I believe we all have these characteristics in our lives, some more prominent than others. "He personally carried the load of our sins in His own body when He died on the cross, so that we can be finished with sin and live a good life from now on. For his wounds have healed ours!" (1 Peter 2:24).

Live is a journey and sometimes I found myself walking in the desert or the wilderness?   In those times we find ourselves lonely, under pressure, isolated, estranged, without resources and really dependant on the help from the Lord up above.   In these times of hardship and correction I find that it is when we seem to grow stronger in our faith and draw closer to our Lord. Psalm 119: 1 – 8               Lord humbly I pray that You will bless me in my ways as I try and walk according to the law of the LORD.   I also pray that I may be blessed as I try and keep Your statutes and seek You with all of my heart.   I aspire Lord not to do anything wrong and walk in Your ways.   Lord You have laid down precepts that I try to fully obey.   Oh, that my ways are steadfast in obeying your decrees!   So that I would not be put to shame when I consider all Your commands.   I will praise You with an upright heart...

Such an inspirational little signature I saw today, it made me laugh and then I realised that we should do this more.   God made us all ‘outstanding’.    We are made in the perfect image of God, He breathed into our lungs and gave us life.   We are little ‘gods’ as we are His replica, so clearly we have very high quality and it makes us superior to most other objects.   Wouldn’t you agree? Praise the Lord our God for creating someone like you and me, ‘Outstanding’.   “… with God all things are possible.” Matt. 19: 26

I need some time out – just time to relax, lay soaking up the sun or reading a book, or knitting or something that I love and enjoy.   Perhaps going to the Spa for a whole day, being pampered and made to feel special again, reading Ephesians 1: 1-8 there I see Paul greeting us with a Godly greeting, speaking peace into our lives and then reminding us of the spiritual gifts and then I notice “God’s grace that he lavished on us”.   Now I am starting to think about the word lavish.   It means that God is able show us grace and spoil us ‘rotten’ or excessive.   Now that is something I would love to have for a change.   To be spoiled rotten and not feel guilty about it. Lord I am asking would You mind spoiling me rotten?  

I want to show my appreciation to the Lord my God, I know that God is in control over my life and I want to bless His holy name today.  I want to just come into my Lord's Jesus presence and say thank You.  Thank You for everything I have.  I want to say thank You for being in control over my life and the lives of my family and friends.  You Lord Jesus are my God and I want to say thank You, thank You, thank You.  I love You.
