Oh, hear my heart Lord


Dear Lord
 

I know that you love me. I know that you only want the best for me. You think of me and about me the whole day, for eternity onwards. Long be for I came to this earth did you know me inside out. You are always there for me. You are always ready to help. You are always smiling over me, even if I am not at my best.
 

There is nothing that I can do to impress you. I can do my level best not to be a disappointment to you, but will not always succeed. Your decision to choose me was made years ago and you do not give up on your word. You do not change your mind. You are the only constant in my life.
 

There are so many questions that I need to ask you. The only thing is, I already know the answer, since your plans for me are all good. There are so many times that I doubt these plans, but I know that you will never let me get tested beyond my limits. There are times in my life when I think that you will give up on me, but I know that you can’t, since you live in me.
 

The day I chose to live for you was the day my life turned around for ever. I wish that I can share this great love you have for me with everyone I know. I wish everyone on earth could feel it and then share it, live by it. Make me humble and grateful rather than selfish and unconcerned.
 

Thank you for giving me life. Help me to keep choosing life!
 

I praise you and love you.
 

Amen

The danger of success

There was a time in most of our lives when a simple thing like eating out was a big effort. We had to save up until we had enough money and then only go to places we can afford. To some of us this may have changed. So much so that my wife and I can dine out at least once a week. In many other areas we also do not lack anything. We are blessed and can enjoy life, although we do not consider ourselves as rich. What happens as we grow older is that we gather up more and more stuff. Our furniture increases and becomes more expensive. Our cars are bigger, as is our houses. We get so spoiled with the comfort and luxuries we enjoy that we blind to others needs. We are compassionate and show sympathy, but have lost touch with hurt and pain. The introduction might have been all about money and wealth, but there is more to giving than that. We give our money as we see fit, but is that all? What about our time? What about some effort? Jesus himself said that it is more difficult fo...

Useless

Hebrews 11:6 NIV84 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. If you read this verse it is clear that we need to have faith. The question then becomes: What is faith? According to the dictionary faith is a noun 1. confidence or trust in a person or thing: faith in another's ability.  2. belief that is not based on proof: He had faith that the hypothesis would be substantiated by fact.  3. belief in God or in the doctrines or teachings of religion: the firm faith of the Pilgrims. 4. belief in anything, as a code of ethics, standards of merit, etc.: to be of the same faith with someone concerning honesty. 5. a system of religious belief: the Christian faith; the Jewish faith.  6. the obligation of loyalty or fidelity to a person, promise, engagement, etc.: Failure to appear would be breaking faith.  7. the observance of this obligatio...

Be a legendary Comrade!

There are certain things in life that some of us would never do. Then, for others, they are so standard or essential that they can't do other than fully commit and ensure that they achieve this. What I am specifically thinking about is this past Sunday's Comrades marathon. I knew a few people that went to compete in the race, but I only knew one as a close friend. This was the third time that he went toKwazulu-Natal for the prestigious event. During both the other races he had to withdraw after completing a significant portion of the race because of injury. Although myself, and probably everyone that knows him, were very proud of what he achieved, his goal was not achieved, so he started training soon again. Training takes up probably 11 months of the year. They run half-marathons, marathons, ultra-marathons, and those are only the races. Four or five days a week they run 10 or more kilometres. Rest is maximum one or two days. One of these days it is the Olympics again. Th...
