Yvette's Whispers of Faith

Hebrews 10: 35 “do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward.” I have noticed that many times I feel so uncomfortable and that I just don’t fit in.   I was thinking about that but then I read that when God called Jeremiah He said “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, sanctified you and I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”   Now I am not saying I am a Jeremiah but I believe that God also knew me when I was in my mother’s womb and I also believe that I have been sanctified.    I say God called me and that God “scheduled each day of my life before I began to breathe.” Psalms 139: 16 So whatever I am doing right now must be in God’s will for my life.   I am not perfect and believe that God is still working on me. Because I feel set apart [sanctified] from other people I believe God made it that way so that I will look for Him.   I will search for Him because it is with Him that I feel comfortable. Sometimes people ...

Ecclesiastes 9: 10 NIV “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dream, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.” My neighbor laughed at me the other day while I was hanging out washing.   He called me over and asked me “Are you in a relationship with your washing line?”   I asked him “Why?”   He said, well I noticed that you are all dressed up, hair and make-up.    I just laughed at him, seriously. O my goodness, I feel that doing washing is part of my daily chores and I should do it to the best of my abilities.   I like to hang out the washing in a specific way and take it down in a specific way.   I feel happy when my clothes are fresh and I don’t have so much ironing. When I bake cakes I really work hard at doing the best I can.   My cake toppers need to be exactly the way I wanted it.   I strive in doing everything to the best of my...

Proverbs 23: 7 NKJV “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he,” I have been thinking about a number of questions and what the effects of these questions have on my life.   One of the questions that was raised is “how do you feel about yourself?”   I feel good about myself; I have made changes in my own life.   I wanted to lose weight and I managed to loose 11kg and I feel great.   I can see the difference and it makes me feel good. The other question that I really don’t want to face is “when do you feel the most negative about yourself?”   I think I feel negatively about myself when people “disregard me or disrespect me.”   I also take offense when people lie to me.   When I feel people are rude and make an effort to make me mad.  This question is almost too close to home but here it is “what causes the greatest problems when dealing with others?”   I think this one is about resentment; you may have done something to me th...

Malachi 3: 16 NKJV “A Book of Remembrance - Then those who feared the LORD spoke to one another, and the LORD listened and heard them; so a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who fear the LORD and who meditate on His name.” I have heard my friends telling me that time flies because God has shortened time for the elect.   Are you one of the elect? Is your name written in the “Book of Remembrance?” Glory to God Almighty who was, who is and is to come.   It is my heart’s desire to be part of the “Bride” of Christ.   I meditate and study God’s word as often as possible.   I believe because I have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour. My God has called me by my name; I know that I belong to Him.   He holds my right hand and I am safe all the time in His presence.   I believe that my name will also be in the “Book of Remembrance.” Prayer Lord, thank You for Your word, I believe that my name is wri...
