When we feel alone…Jesus is there for us.
When we feel rejected…Jesus is there for us.
When life is cruel to us…Jesus is there for us.
In all these situations, pray, because Jesus is there for you, and will help you.

Prayer is the soul’s sincere desire,
Uttered or unexpressed,
The motion of a hidden fire
That trembles in the breast.
Prayer is the burden of a sigh`
The falling of a tear;
The upward glancing of an eye
When none but God is near.
by James Montgomery (1771-1854)
Effective Prayer #4

When we pray, tell God everything that’s on your mind, that’s worrying you, because only when you do give all your worries to Him, will you find peace. God has promised to help us in all times of need, so all we have to do is give Him all our worries, and He will help us.
1 Peter:5-6 (NLT)
So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honour. Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.

We are all works-in-progress
Philippians 1:6 (NLT) says:
And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.
So as you can see, God tells us in Philippians, that was we are works in progress, by reminding us that although He has been working in us from the moment we were born, He has promised to keep working in us until either Jesus returns to earth or He calls us home to heaven.
Therefore, today I want to say to you, never think God has given up on you as a lost cause because He will keep working in your life.
Why Care About Easter?

What does Easter mean to you?
For me Easter is all about sacrifice, the sacrifice that Jesus made for each one of us on the cross when he bled and died, just so we can all be forgiven of our sins. I find it almost impossible to truly understand the pain and agony Jesus suffered when he was crucified.
Can you imagine how God felt, giving up his one and only son, just so the world could be forgiven of every sin?
Personally I struggle to comprehend how God must have felt, but I am forever in God’s debt because He did allow Christ to die on the cross.
As with every Easter, I feel so inadequate and so unworthy of God’s love. However I am also so thankful that God does love me unconditionally, and He is always by my side, guiding me and supporting me through each minute of every day, and challenge and problem life throws in my direction.
So if Easter has only ever been about two days off school or work and Easter eggs, I pray this Easter I have given you some food for thought about what Easter is really all about…
Easter is all about “The Cross” and the sacrifice God gave for you and for me.
Crucified Laid behind a stone You lived to die Rejected and alone Like a rose Trampled on the ground You took the fall And thought of me Above all
Fall At Your Feet

Your grace is enough
More than I need
And your word I will believe
I wait for you
Draw near again
And your spirit make me new
And I will fall at your feet
I will fall at your feet
And I will worship you here
Your presence in me
Jesus light the way
By the power of your word
I am restored
I am redeemed
By your spirit i am free
And I will fall at your feet
I will fall at your feet
And I will worship you here
Freely you gave it all for us
Surrendered your life upon that cross
Great is your love
Poured out for all
This is our God
Lifted on high from death to life
Forever our God is glorified
Sovereign king
Rescued the world
This is our God
And I will fall at your feet
I will fall at your feet
And I will worship you here
And I will fall at your feet
I will fall at your feet
And I will worship you here
Freely you gave it all for us
Surrendered your life upon that cross
Great is your love
Poured out for all
This is our God
Lifted on high from death to life
Forever out God is glorified
Sovereign king
Rescued the world
This is our God
Have you fallen at God’s feet?
God gave up His Son for you, therefore I’d urge you to repay Him today by giving your life to Him by kneeling before Him and giving Him your heart.
It’s Your Choice
Posted: January 4, 2013 in friendship, life, love, music, religionTags: Choice, Christ, Edith Schaeffer, God, heart, hillsong, new year, Religion and Spirituality
What are your choices? Whom are your choices for? Not just for yourself. Chose now whom you will serve, and that choice is going to affect the next generation, and the next generation, and the next. Choice never affects just one person alone. It goes on and on and the effect goes out into geography and history. You are part of history and your choices become part of history.
Sometimes it can feel as though we have no choices in life, because the outcomes of any choice we have have already been decided for us by someone else or by circumstances. That however is not true of every choice we have in life…there is one choice in our life that we can only make for ourselves, because even if someone else tries to make that decision for us it means nothing unless we make that choice too.
Any ideas what choice I’m talking about?
The decision to believe in God and give your heart to Him.
Having said that, just like any other choice in life, whether we choose to follow Christ or not, that decision will affect our future and the future of those we encounter during our life. Therefore, at the start of this new year, I again would like to urge you to make the right choice in your life, by letting God into your life and giving Him your heart.
Give God your heart and reap the benefits in your life and see the impact and change you can have on other’s lives too.
A Daily Opportunity

Each day is a brand new opportunity to be Jesus to the world ~ R. Falcon
I love this quote as it’s a great reminder that we have a responsibility each day to God, to let others see Christ in us.
Stop for a minute and think about today…have you been Jesus to the world?
I pray every day that God will help me to live my life the way He wants me to live. I pray that you too, will make that your prayer each day.
His Advert
Posted: September 27, 2012 in bible, blogging, life, music, religionTags: advert, Advertising, Barnabas, creation, Evolution, God, Google, hillsong, Romans, Television
In Tuesday’s blog post I listed a few possible adverting slogans God might use if He was to create TV adverts. However God has no need to create TV adverts, because He is already the worlds biggest and most prolific advertiser in the world!
Confused? Well don’t be, think about it, look around yourself and consider who created everything you see…God!
Yes, God’s creation is the biggest and most spectacular, no-budget, clearest advertisement for Him the world will ever see. However, despite all we see around us that God created, and His message in the bible, many people still misinterpret His message – some deliberately, others through ignorance.
The most important part of God’s creation is of course the people, you and me! That therefore that makes each of us living adverts of God’s creation. Yes, some of us will be good adverts for God, while some of us will be bad adverts. Which are you?
Romans 1:20 (NLT)
For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.
So it’s down to us to advertise God’s message to the world and when we encounter people misinterpret God’s message we must do what Barnabas, Paul, and countless others have done through the years, we must tell them the correct message!
Let’s make sure the people we meet during our lives are left with no excuses for not knowing God, by constantly and confidently advertise the facts about God and about His creation.
Life Is Worth It!
Posted: August 30, 2012 in bible, blogging, heaven, love, music, religionTags: Christianity, Christianity for Seekers, Evangelism, God, hillsong, Jesu, Matthew, Matthew 7:13, Religion and Spirituality
Jesus never said it would be easy, but He said it would be worth it! (Matthew 7:13-14)
Yesterday I reminded myself, and you, that God is working things out for us, even when we might feel as if he’s miles away from us. Today it’s just a gentle reminder that just because we love God and have given our lives to Him, that doesn’t mean we’ll have an easy life.
In fact, when we give our lives to God, it’s then that we can often find life toughest. Not because God is punishing us for loving Him, but because He’s teaching us how to cope in adversity, how to love when others hate us and how to trust Him when there seems no hope. And if through all that we still love Him, He has promised us that life will be more than worth the effort, because ultimately we will be rewarded in Heaven when we meet Him face to face.
Mine Forever
Posted: August 15, 2012 in bible, friendship, Health, heaven, life, love, music, religionTags: bible, Christianity, Denominations, God, hillsong, Lord, NLT, Psalm, Religion & Spirituality
Psalm 73:25-26 (NLT)
Whom have I in heaven but you? I desire you more than anything on earth. My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; he is mine forever.
I’ve been reminded more than ever in these last few days, how true these words from the Psalms are – we are only human, and our time on earth is limited, but as long as God is in our life, we have all we need.
Yes, our time in earth is limited, but while we are here, let’s make a promise to ourselves and to God…to live our lives as God desires us to live.
