Fixing our eyes on Jesus

Hebrews 12: 1, 2

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Colossians 2: 6-7

So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.

1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

Trust and thankfulness will get us safely through all situations. Keeping our eyes on Jesus.

God bless you dearly,
Lilian

Hope, Faith and Love

Ruth followed Naomi, 

her Mother in law;

 believing in God

 her faith was greatly rewarded.

 God is alive.

 He is honored by our faith in Him.

 He loves families.

 He is Jehova Jireh our provider.

Wherever you are...
May God guide you,
Wherever you go...
May He go with you.

Whatever you do...
May He be your light.
At all times...
May God bless you.
Amen.

A Divine Appointment

The Christian life is a walk with Jesus.
Mary sat at his feet while listening attentively to all Jesus was teaching. She adopted a student's attitude towards her beloved Raboni.

Martha instead was preoccupied with dinner preparations and needed help. Much as we worry about our many responsibilities and wish for others to help us. So Jesus tells her this and then adds that Mary has chosen the best part.

So I say that enjoying Jesus' presence and listening closely to his words is what is most important. We must not miss this divine appointment. Only then we will be able to do everything in God's strength and love.

The LORD keeps us Safe

I go to bed

 and sleep in peace.

Lord, you are the one

 who keeps me safe.

Psalm 4:8

Trusting God is
 deeply related

 to knowing him

 and believing his Word.

 The angel of the LORD

 camps around us

 when we fear God. 

 This fear means

 deep respect
 and profound love.

 Perfect love casts out fear.

 There is no room for doubting.

 His plans and thoughts

 are always for our good.

 We can trust him always,

 even when walking

 through the valley of sorrow

 and pain. 

His love and comfort

 will become more real.

 Thank you, Immanuel.

 Thank you, heavenly Father.

 We trust you more than ever.

 We fear no evil. 

Your Love is amazing,

 steady and unchanging!!

Mighty is Your Name

Father, Mighty is your name

Like the roar of  waterfalls!

Like a tender Parent bending

Down to comfort his Child!

There is none like You

Mighty King and Warrior

Yet the lover of our souls 

Who believes in each one of us!

How can we say thanks?

How can we pray and intercede?

When we know you are here with us

Great I am, Holy Spirit, Mighty God!

The Sun was shining

As I arrived to Check on Year 6 this morning

I was met by this sweet dove

 perching on the tree

unto the balcony.

The students were painting

as they were preparing projects according

 to their Science research.

She did not mind their chattering

 but seemed to enjoy it 

as the sun warmed us all!

He Refreshes Our Souls

Daddy used to take us all
to the beach

 to spend our days
swimming in the waves, 

building sand-castles,
 playing games
and volley-ball.

Some days
we would rise early, 

take breakfast to the beach
and watch the sunrise. 

What happy memories!!

The Lord Jesus
would cook breakfast on the beach

 for his disciples after they had been
all night fishing

 with no good results.

 I love Jesus
 because he is so full of strength

 and deep love for all.

 It is his love for us
and his deep devotion to his Father

 that kept him going to the cross
and fulfilling his mission.

May He lead us
 to these quiet waters today,

 where He will refresh our souls.
