Easier to run than stay

It's always seems easier to run than to stay.

We can run from problems, just one more day and we will be free.

But sometimes a run, could be one in the wrong direction.

So take time to kneel. To think, and to pray.

We have many plans, many ideas on what might work, what we would love to get out of, and be free of, yes, it's never easy being in situations which seem tough and difficult. But sometimes it's those situations which grow you in areas you otherwise would not. In patience, in love, in hope, and hope never disappoints. 

You may right now be in a situation, wondering, how I wish I could get out of this. Could I suggest one thing? Take a break, get on your knee and pray. For many are the plans of man, but it is God's plan that will succeed. So take a moment. Pray. Ask. Abide in Christ and let His word abide in you. Perhaps, the reason you could stand it, was because God gave you this grace to be able to stand.

Gone too soon

You were a dear sister, one of which was an elder.

You were a great teacher, putting those who are young into the right direction.

But now you're gone, gone too soon.

I wish you didn't have to go, that I would hear you play and worship the Lord together.

But now you're with the Lord, you're gone home, and I'm glad He has received you.

You will be missed on the days we live out in this earth, 

but the memories you have made keeps you close to our hearts.

This is not good bye, but see you, till the time we meet again, in the new home which is promised unto us.

We miss you sister.

A post in 2017

I have no idea who still reads this blog, but Happy 2017! haha I know the month is almost through. But I am thankful for each day that passes.

Dear friends, brothers and sisters, whoever reads this. I trust God has been well with you, I trust that He has dealt bountifully with you, through your lows and losses, through the brokenness and hurt, through the happy and joys moments in life, and through the memories of people we can only now cherish. For many of us, we might have lost loved ones last year, for some of us lost the only one that might have understood you. But I want to tell you God has not given up on you, that He still desires you, and loves you. Sure there's still pain as long as we live in this decaying world, but it doesn't mean we can't look forward and enjoy the moments that come by. Our hope and our race will lead us to the time when He returns for all of us in Christ Jesus, but until then, rise and shine His glory throughout the world, give that cup of water to your enemies, and leave God to do the rest. Our lives are set in eternity with Him. Praise His name and give Him the honour. Forever and ever amen.

Do not lose heart, do not think He has abandoned you, for He has definitely not done so.
