Words

Sue’s Views 
Words have tremendous power. You can actually change someone by the way you speak to them. A pleasant, kind word is like honey ….. sweet to the soul and healthy to the body. A harsh, critical word can do damage and cause a person to shut down. Think before you speak …..  is it 
True

Inspiring
Necessary 
Kind?

The Antidote For Fear

Sue’s Views

Fear of what might happen is one of the devil’s most powerful weapons! With so many tragedies happening around us ….. it’s easy to fall for his tactics. The antidote for fear is ‘faith’! Peter the disciple was able to walk on water during a storm when he kept his eyes on Jesus ….. but the moment he looked at the waves ….. he started to go under. Jesus caught him and said, ‘You of little faith! Why did you doubt?’ Jesus is the same yesterday ….. today ….. and forevermore. Yes ….. there will be more storms! But the same Jesus will be there to walk you through it ….. and to catch you if your faith weakens. The way forward is to focus on His power over the circumstances ….. not the circumstances themselves!

Go With The Flow?

Sue’s Views
Is your philosophy on life to ‘go with the flow’? It sounds good ….. but whose flow are you going with? Are you just letting life take you wherever it chooses? Are you flowing with friends ….. things you read in the media ….. stuff you watch on tv? The only ‘flow’ you can rely on is the flow of God’s Spirit. He will guide you through life and lead you to your destiny with wisdom. He will give you the strength to keep going when things get tough ….. and He will keep you refreshed when you get weary.

The Path Of Life

Sue’s Views 
The path of life is rarely a straight line. There are many twists and turns along the way. Sometimes we get impatient because we just want to get to our destination. But God is never in a hurry ….. and He has much to teach us along the way. Main highways may be direct and fast but the country lanes are far more scenic. So ….. enjoy the ride ….. you never know what’s around the next bend!

Amazing Life Giving Creation!

 Sue’s Views

These lush green leaves speak to me of life with their freshness and vibrancy. As we all learned in school ….. leaves are a vital part of our life cycle as they convert carbon dioxide into oxygen ….. a very necessary component for us to live. They absorb the gases that are harmful for us and turn them into something life giving. Next time you see a leaf ….. stop and thank God for His amazing creation!

Purposeful Design

Sue’s Views
Everywhere I look in nature ….. I see design. Our kids are being taught that it all just happened randomly. No wonder so many people have low self esteem ….. and feel like they were an ‘accident’. Accidents produce chaos and mess. Intentional ….. purposeful design ….. produces order, symmetry, balance and beauty. You are ‘fearfully and wonderfully made’ by a loving God and filled with potential and purpose! You will only be satisfied when you discover what that is!

Eve

Sue’s Views
Have you ever wondered what Eve was like? I mean before the dreaded ‘forbidded fruit’ incident? She would have been perfect …… right? But what does that mean? We know she was a perfect helper for Adam ….. and complimented him ….. no doubt she helped him in the garden and gathered food for them to eat. But what did she look like? Tall, short? Was she pear shaped ….. apple …… banana? Did she have straight hair ….. or curls? The Bible doesn’t tell us much, does it? Maybe it doesn’t matter! Maybe appearance isn’t as important to God as it is to us! Maybe her perfection was due to her being created by a perfect Father, with whom she had such a close relationship ….. that she was a reflection of Him? And that’s how He sees all of us, my sisters! You are perfectly beautiful!

Draw On God’s Strength

Sue’s Views
We all have days when we feel fragile whether it’s physical ….. emotional ….. or mental. Those are the times we are most susceptible to temptation. That’s when we need to draw on Gods strength ….. not our own! If that’s you today ….. here’s a word from the Lord for you.
“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
2 Corinthians 12:10

Challenging Relationships

Sue’s Views 
Do you have a ‘challenging’ relationship in your life? Someone who ‘rubs you up the wrong way’ ….. or brings out the ‘worst’ in you? No doubt they are there for a reason. Either to rub a few rough edges off you? ….. or for you to help smooth some off them. Either way ….. my advice is to yield to the process. Running away from it only means there will be a bigger ‘brick’ waiting for you further down the track!

You Can Do This!

Sue’s Views
According to the NLT version of 1 Corinthians 13 ….. ‘Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.’ Wow! That is a tall order! Note the words ‘never’ ….. ‘always’ ….. and ‘every’! That doesn’t leave much room for exceptions does it? But that is how God loves us! And if He requires that kind of love from us ….. you can be sure He will enable us to do it. In fact it’s His love flowing through us! So whatever challenge you have had to endure ….. choose to keep loving. You can do this!
