Sometimes life is like a minefield. We enter it unsure of what steps to take and how much pressure to apply to each of them. Other times it is like a green field beautifully decorated with daisies and singing birds. I know which one of them have produced the most fruit from my life.
I have stepped on many a minefield and felt as if my life had exploded beyond repair because of broken relationships, failed hopes and delayed dreams. But as I sit here I am content because I have learnt and am learning that as many minefields there are, there are many more green fields. As a society we somehow find it easier to talk about our weaknesses, our failures and negative influences in our lives when good things do happen!
I'm on my journey from brokenness to wholeness and I've found that at every turn, every step and every junction God has been there. He's great at being the orchestrator yet the silent partner in everything I have experienced. And He has a way of letting you know that it was Him all along and that He never leaves you or forsakes you. (Hebrews 13:5 NKJV).
What an exceptional God I serve!
Be encouraged! You may have stumbled upon this website and become intrigued by our opening words that shout out at you - YOU CAN! Or you may be a Christian who was looking to find some inspiration in virtual reality! Wherever you are and why you find yourself reading this page - God knew you'd be here at this moment and season of your life. The bible says in Isaiah 44:2 (CEV) that, 'I am your Creator. You were in My care even before you were born.'
You are in His care! Yes - You are still in His care!
God has great things in store for you, how do I know? Because you were born! God doesn't make mistakes (even when human beings do). He created you for a purpose. Find out what you are supposed to be doing in this life AND DO IT!
Look out for the things that you get excited about, are passionate or sometimes even frustrated about, and ask God to show you why you are here (your purpose). Who you are in Him (your identity) and where you're going in life (your vision). Knowing these things adds substance, fulfillment and hope to your life in a way nothing else will, because everything else is temporary! Only what you do for God will last. (John 2:17 NLT)
If you haven't started already, or if you have allowed the issues of life to take precedence,
Go Get Your Life Back!
Begin to find in Christ the zeal, the hope, the peace, the strength, the direction and the power you need to make a difference to this world that needs it's hope restored.
Be blessed on your Journey, be encouraged on your Journey and most of all be in Christ on your Journey.
If you don't know what that means or even know how to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour say the following prayer from your heart and allow Christ by His Holy Spirit to guide you.
TO KNOW JESUS!
Whether you have made a commitment to follow Christ or not this simple prayer is for you. Try to find somewhere quiet first, and then be still as you realise that the living Christ is there with you at this very moment.
Dear Lord Jesus Christ,
I admit that I have sinned and gone my own way,
I've become right when I know that I am wrong,
I've hurt myself and others, especially those that have tried to get close to me,
I've held onto feelings of rejection, anger, hatred and unforgiveness,
I admit that there are times when I have ignored you calling me because I wanted to go my own way,
Lord I am sorry and I need your forgiveness.
I am willing to turn away from all that I know is wrong because I want to go with you.
I want you to be first in my life.
Thank you for dying on the cross to take away my sins.
Thank you for your gift of forgiveness, friendship, love and relationship and, most of all, a new life.
I now take your gift.
I ask you to come into my life by your Holy Spirit.
Come in to fill my life.
Come in as my Saviour, Counsellor, Friend and Lord forever.
I thank you Lord Jesus.
Amen
