“When nothing in your life makes sense, trust God anyway…” ~ Unknown

Deuteronomy 31:6

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you…"

Joshua 1:7

“Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go…”

“When God begins to blow in your direction, open your sails and receive it…” ~ Joel Osteen

“Happiness starts with you…  Not with your relationships, not with your job, not with your money, but with you…” ~ Unknown

When you see a man selling handkerchiefs and still sweating profusely in traffic, it tells you that possession is not the same as ownership! Your life belongs to God; you are only having it but you don't own it. So, be careful what you do with your life before the owner asks for it.

The last wishes of Alexander the Great... On his death bed, Alexander summoned his army generals and told them his three ultimate wishes:  1. The best doctors should carry his coffin... 2. The wealth he has accumulated (money, gold, precious stones) should be scattered along the procession to the cemetery... 3. His hands should be let loose, so they hang outside the coffin for all to see!! One of his generals who was surprised by these unusual requests asked Alexander to explain.  Here is what Alexander the Great had to say: 1. "I want the best doctors to carry my coffin to demonstrate that in the face of death, even the best doctors in the world have no power to heal..." 2. "I want the road to be covered with my treasure so that everybody sees that material wealth acquired on earth , will stay on earth…"  3. I want my hands to swing in the wind, so that people understand that we come to this world empty handed and we leave this world empty handed after the most precious treasure of all is exhausted, and that is: TIME.  We do not take to our grave any material wealth. TIME is our most precious treasure because it is LIMITED. We can produce more wealth, but we cannot produce more time. When we give someone our time, we actually give a portion of our life that we will never take back. Our time is our life! The best present that you can give to your family is your time…

“You are only having it – you don’t own it…”  Ek’t nog nooit so aan my lewe gedink nie…  Ek dink dat ons so maklik vasgevang word in die rat race, dat baie van ons se lewens by ons verbygaan…  Ons basseer ons geluk op situasies en hul uitkomste, eerder as om te fokus op God en Sy beloftes…  Maak nie saak HOE lank dit vat nie – God sal ALTYD terugkom na Sy beloftes toe…  Hy sal jou nie verlaat nie, en Hy sal jou nie in die steek laat nie!  Ek dink dat mens al so gewoond raak oor hoe mense jou teleurstel / teleurgestel het, dat ons baie keer – sonder dat ons dit eens besef, vir God oor dieselfde kam skeer…  Ons stel ons vertroue in Dokters en hul bevindinge…  In ons werk, ons verhoudings en als wat ons dink vir ons sekurteit en stabiliteit sal gee…  Al wat ons nodig het, is om ons probleme, hartseer en bekommernis by die voete van die Kruis te gaan neersit…  Wanneer ons fondasie Jesus is, kan NIKS ons wereld omkeer nie...  Want Hy sal ALTYD daar wees om ons staande te hou!  Ek BELOWE jou – jou probleme sal kleiner word wanneer jy daarmee neerkniel…  Ons Dominee het Sondag gese – wanneer daar ‘n skaduwee van probleme is – is daar ‘n belofte van LIG naby…  Want vir ‘n skaduwee om te bestaan, moet daar lig wees…  God is vandag by jou – maak nie saak WAT nie…  Sit by Sy voete neer en wag by Sy beloftes… Hy sal jou NIE teleurstel nie…

Blessings!
