Living a life purpose

God understands me completely because He created me. He knows what makes me tick, He knows my faults, He knows my fears, He knows my failures and frustrations and yet He still loves me. God does not expect me to be perfect. I don't have to be perfect to receive God's love. I don't have to be perfect for God to love. Psalm 119:96 - Nothing is perfect except God's word. Thank you Lord for your unconditional love. There is nothing I can do to earn your love, there is nothing I can do to make you love me less. It blows my mind that a perfect God can love an imperfect me. I thank you for your love, which I will never take for granted. Amen

I have come to a realisation that this Christian life is a journey and you have to decide how you are going to travel through it. You can travel it either by focusing and depending on God or focusing on the problems and depending on yourself. I have found out that focusing on the problems and depending on myself to work it out never really is the answer. Recently I was told that my son was not coping in mainstream school and I was advised that the best thing for him is to attend a school for children with special needs. As a mum my whole world came crashing down. I was so upset that all I did that day was cry. As a mother you want the best for your child and I was so confused. I was focusing on the problem and I tried to work everything out myself. I had no peace and I was depending on my own wisdom and strength. The breakthrough for me came when I realised that I can’t do this on my own. I took my focus off the problem and turned to God. I remembered God's words and promis...

I start today praising you Lord I start today in your presence I start today with you by my side guiding me I start today with your strength because I know I can’t face today in my own strength I start today with the assurance that you are with me I start today with the assurance that you will provide all I need for this day I start today with the assurance that all is well I start today with an expectant heart because I know you have great things in store for me. Today is your best day because God is with you, God lives in you and God loves you.

Our regrets, our failings and imperfections seem set in stone and can often weigh on us in an attempt to make a fresh start. Revelations 21: 5  - And the one sitting on the throne said, "Look, I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this, because these words are true and can be trusted." (NCV) God will make everything new, He will bring good out of our past regrets and failings that we no longer have access to.  So why should I, a creature powerless to change my past hold on tightly to it. Why not give it to the one who can actually do something about it. Our past, our failings and imperfections do not faze a God whose goodness knows no bounds. He can make everything new and because God said it we can trust him to do as He says. Lord, I hand over my past to you the one who can make all things including my failings, my regrets and imperfections new. I surrender to you my past, present and future to you. Amen

But God's not finished. He's waiting around to be gracious to you. He's gathering strength to show mercy to you. God takes the time to do everything right-everything. Those who wait around for him are the lucky ones. (Isaiah 30:18) The Lord is waiting around to be gracious to us and show mercy to us. I know that whatever we are believing God for He will surely do it because He longs to be gracious to us and show mercy to us. The only thing is that it will always be in His own way and time, not in our own way and time. So whatever you are believing God, be rest assured He will do it. You just need to hold on to His promises. Sometimes it may seem that is it taking too long and doubts starts to creep in, we may be tempted to settle for second best. At such times we must remember Gods’ promises to banish those doubts. Stand on His promises and have faith in the God we believe in. I believe God does not condemn us for having doubts because we are human. We need to turn ...

Some days I wake up feeling unsettled, worried and it seems like the weight of the world is on my shoulders. But then I remember that God is with me – The One who holds the universe is holding my hands, the One who holds the universe delights in every detail of my life, the One who holds the universe will never let me fall. So why should  I worry, why should I fear what the day holds when the One who holds the universe is holding my hands. He will direct my steps, every where I go the Lord is leading me there, and where He leads, He will provide everything I need. Even if I make a mistake, I will never fall because the Lord is holding my hands and He will see me through. Be sure in the Lord, He holds you and loves you fiercely. God will hold your hand as you go through the day. Every step you take, He will be there with you. Psalm 37: 23 (NLT) - The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will never fall, ...
