Haloes! J
Hoe waar is dit nie met ons probleme of moeilike tye nie?? Ons is so “slam-bam” in die middel daarvan, dat ons NIKS anders raaksien as net dit nie? Ons mis uit op die mooi dinge wat God oor ons pad laat kom, omdat ons fokus net op ons onmoontlike omstandighede is… Baie keer, wanneer ons so vasgevang is in ons situasies, vergeet ons dat ons nie “alleen in die ding” is nie… Want die dag toe jy vir God gekies het, het jy outomaties Iemand in jou lewe gekry, wat saam met jou “die lewe” doen… Hy stap elke liewe dag saam met jou, en Hy is jou Partner in life… Die word onmoontlik bestaan nie in Sy woordeskat nie, en soos Hy vir Dawid die krag gegee het om vir Goliat te verslaan, SO SAL HY BY JOU WEES! Al wat jy moet doen is om Hom te vra om saam met jou te stap… Ek wil jou laat met die woorde van ‘n Casting Crowns liedjie – vir jou wat deur ‘n baie moeilike tyd gaan… Jy is nie alleen nie… Jy hoef nie probeer om heeltyd so sterk te wees nie… God is met jou… Hy SAL sorg…
Just be held…
Hold it all together
Everybody needs you strong
But life hits you out of nowhere
And barely leaves you holding on
And when you're tired of fighting
Chained by your control
There's freedom in surrender
Lay it down and let it go
So when you're on your knees and answers seem so far away
You're not alone, stop holding on and just be held
Your worlds not falling apart, its falling into place
I'm on the throne, stop holding on and just be held
Just be held, just be held
If your eyes are on the storm
You'll wonder if I love you still
But if your eyes are on the cross
You'll know I always have and I always will
And not a tear is wasted
In time, you'll understand
I'm painting beauty with the ashes
Your life is in My hands
Lift your hands, lift your eyes
In the storm is where you'll find Me
And where you are, I'll hold your heart
I'll hold your heart
Come to Me, find your rest
In the arms of the God who wont let go

2 Timothy
4:17
“But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that
through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might
hear it. So I was rescued from the lion’s mouth…”
Joshua 1:9-11
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do
not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you
wherever you go.” And Joshua commanded the officers of the people, “Pass
through the midst of the camp and command the people, ‘Prepare your provisions,
for within three days you are to pass over this Jordan to go in to take
possession of the land that the LORD your God is giving you to possess.'”
“When it is obvious
that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action
steps…” ~ Confucius
“Never let your
head hang down. Never give up and sit down and grieve. Find another way. And
don't pray when it rains if you don't pray when the sun shines…” ~ Richard M.

‘n Groot waarheid wat iemand een dag kwytgeraak het was –
hoekom moet daar 100 goed gebeur vir ‘n dag, om ‘n goeie dag te wees? Terwyl ons net 1 slegte dingetjie nodig het,
wat sal maak dat ons dan die dag sal bestempel as sleg? Dis vir my SO waar!!! Ons kyk baie keer so vas in ons omstandighede
– en ook alles wat sleg is in ons omstandighede, dat ‘n nuwe dag, soms
ongesiens verbysluip… Dink gou as jy
teenaan ‘n groot "landmark" staan, soos byvoorbeeld die Eiffel Tower, of Statue
of Liberty, Big Ben of The Tower of London – wat gaan jy sien? My raaiskoot is, heel waarskynlik slegs die
deel wat reg voor jou is? Wanneer jy
teenaan iets staan, gaan jy slegs die stukkie sien wat REG voor jou is… Dis eers wanneer jy terugtree, en ‘n bietjie
afstand tussen jou en die landmark sit, wat jy die volle prentjie sal kan sien…
