Are you content? Most of us know that ‘things’ don’t make us happy …… but true contentment can only come when we know we are loved. God’s unconditional love casts out all fear ….. satisfies our deepest needs ….. and determines our identity and value. What more do we need? Sit awhile with Him today ….. and let Him tell you how much He loves you!

Most good movies have a good v evil theme! We all love it when ….. after scenes of destruction and seeming defeat ….. the goodies come through to victory in the last scene! Our world is going through its most vicious conflict so far ….. but are you aware of the spiritual battle that is behind it all? Some of the devils most effective weapons are deceit ….. and manipulation. He pits one against another. Husband against wife ….. sibling against sibling ….. race against race ….. nation against nation ….. when he is the enemy all the time. This will also end well ….. but make sure you are on the winning team!

Mixed emotions today! Our nephew is leaving us for home in Perth after a brief but fulfilling few days. Family time is precious when you live so far apart ….. and we have valued every moment. Till next time Keon! Love you heaps! On a brighter note ….. it’s Asaph 1st birthday! Where did that year go? After a rocky start in life ….. he is such a happy little chappie and brings us so much joy! He is named after a worship leader who wrote several of the Psalms in the Bible. I wonder what God has for him! Happy Birthday precious one!

How do you feel when you wake up in the morning? Is it ‘Good morning Lord!’ …… or is it ‘O Lord! It’s morning!’ For some ….. a new day is a new opportunity. For others ….. it means another day of facing the same old challenges. The Bible assures us that God’s mercies are new every morning. Each new day offers a fresh perspective ….. and new hope. Expect Him to show you a new way ….. a greater understanding ….. and a closer walk with Him. God paints a different ‘skyscape’ every morning! He only has to speak and new things are created. Ask Him to speak some new things into your life! Have a blessed day everyone!

However insignificant you are feeling ….. however inadequate ….. however alone ….. the God of the Universe sees you ….. enables you ….. and walks beside you every moment of every day. He has protected you from dangers and disasters you didn’t even know about. He longs for you to know Him and talk to Him. You were made for a relationship with Him. That’s what’s missing. Call upon His Name today ….. He is waiting!

I don’t know about you but I seem to feel better when the sun is shining! Everything looks more vibrant ….. and I feel more energetic. Our moods ….. like the weather ….. are apt to change. Negative thoughts are like clouds. They block the sunlight from coming in and make our outlook gloomier. The more we focus on them ….. the darker it gets like gathering clouds on a rainy day. But ….. like those clouds ….. those thoughts are temporary. Behind the dark clouds is a blue sky and a shining sun. They don’t come and go ….. they are always there! So next time you feel depressed or anxious ….. look beyond the negative thoughts to the One who is always there and always the same. Let His truth and assurance shine through!

Do you know that God knew you before you were born? In fact ….. even before you were conceived in your mother’s womb ….. God knew every detail of your life! You were no accident ….. or result of someone else’s choices. God already had a blueprint for your life. You began in His heart! Your ethnicity ….. gender ….. family line ….. personality ….. and gifting ….. can be traced back to your Heavenly Father. And that means your future is also in His hands. Don’t be confined by your circumstances. Only God can define you and He considers you worth dying for!

When Jesus preached ….. He used illustrations about everyday life. Things the common people and even children could understand. He talked about a farmer sowing seeds in different types of soil ….. a shepherd taking care of his flock and leaving 99 to rescue 1 who was lost ….. and how fruit can only be produced when it’s attached to the vine. Behind these pictures ….. were deep messages about how we are to live. The people following him could understand the deeper meaning just by looking around them. 

We make it so complicated ….. but the message of the Gospel is simple! Jesus is in every one of those stories. He is the Word (the seed) … He is the Good Shepherd ….. and He is the Vine. Our hearts are the different types of soil ….. we are the sheep ….. and we are the branches! If we receive His Word gladly ….. stay close to our Shepherd ….. and remain in the Vine ….. we will produce much fruit!

Yesterday was a big day for our little Hezekiah! Dedicated to the Lord on the morning of his 2nd birthday ….. and birthday celebrations in the afternoon. He handled both like a king! Every life is worth celebrating ….. and every life needs to acknowledge where they came from! Baby dedication is scriptural. It’s the parents acknowledgement and desire to see their child one day make that decision for themselves. They vow before God and the church to do their best to bring him up in the ways of God and entrust their little one to His guidance and care. But Heze will have to make his own decision some day in the future when he has more understanding. God bless you little man! 

May you “continue to grow in wisdom, stature, and favour with God and man!”
