Hey guys, how are you all? How blessed are
we to see a new day, praise Yahweh!This week has been an eye-opening week for
me. God has not finished with me yet lol and I truly believe that He is
continuing to perfect everything that concerns me (Psalm 138:8). How is your
relationship with God, is it growing or has it become stagnant? It is so
important that we regularly examine ourselves and check whether or not we are
in the faith (2 Corinthians 13:5). If we have become complacent in any way, we must
take the necessary steps and align ourselves with God’s Word. There Is No Greater Love
This week’s topic was called Destiny By Design and one of the
speakers shared with us an analogy using a $50 dollar note. He said that even
if the note is trampled on so many times, it’s worth still remains and you’re
able to purchase something with it right? Well this also applies with us. In
God’s eyes our worth is not dependent on what has happened to us. Our intrinsic
worth comes from Him and Him alone, after all was it not He who created us?
Regardless of the mistakes we made in the past and continue to make we are
still who God says we are. My initial thought was “wow, what a beautiful
illustration”.
God said that we are the “apple of His eye”
(Deuteronomy 32:10) before we were even created, and that truth still stands
today. So regardless of whether you have been abused, taken drugs, committed
sexual sin, stolen or even murdered someone; God’s thoughts towards you are the
same as when you were born. Numbers 23:19 declares that God is not a man that He
should lie, nor the son of man that He should change His mind…God’s Word never
changes!
In Jeremiah 31:3, our heavenly Father said
that He loves us with an everlasting love. The word everlasting means; eternal,
without end and enduring. How astounding is that? To think that God love’s is
not dependent on what we do-or don’t do is so beautiful. We don’t have to earn
His love, so STOP TRYING! He loves you regardless. Before Jesus even cast out
demons, ministered to others and revived the dead, God already loved Him and said,
“You are My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased”.
Josie…Chill!
What else has been happening this week for
me? As many of you already know I’m a thinker. I think a lot, too much in fact
at times. I also see that I take life too seriously. I’m coming to realise more
and more that this is a problem. After all God wants us to enjoy life rather
than just endure it. God also revealed to me that one of the things that draws
me away from Him are my thoughts. I worry a lot and the more time I spend worrying,
the less I focus on Him. And this is sin. I’m learning more and more that there
is absolutely no point in worrying. What I need to do is fix my eyes on Him
rather than the things of this world and cast my burdens onto Him (Psalm
55:22). I must make the decision to trust God and believe that everything will
fall into place.
I hope you are all encouraged by what I
have been sharing.
Have a blessed day :)
