In case you don’t follow the blog of Milt Rodriguez, I want to share with you this brother’s latest post. This post is part of a series called “Is Christ Enough?”. I pray that we are reminded over and again, how big and all sufficient our Lord is. Click here to go to the blog of Milt Rodriguez.
Lord, I would love to have something of Your life to share today. I realise there is no life in anything that would come simply from me. My own wisdom is as no wisdom at all. My own thoughts are fleeting. My own creativity cannot compare with that of others to bring about a greater picture of what my heart would want to convey. But Lord, Your life is amazing. You have a way by which You communicate from and through…
Yesterday, I was greatly encouraged by a dear sister in Christ. She encouraged me to simplify my spiritual diet when going through a spiritual storm/sickness, just as we simplify our diet when we are physically unwell. So this morning, as I sat and ate my regular breakfast, I shared the moment with the Lord, which resulted in the following poem. Every morning as I eat toast and drink tea I’m reminded of ‘Christ in me’. I remember the brokenness of…
Over the past number of weeks I have had certain thoughts drop into my spirit, that have been along similar lines so there seems to be a theme forming. The theme has something to do with only living by the life of Jesus Christ within me (us) so I thought I’d share these with you in the hope that you might be encouraged. One thought was that when it’s very tough to keep going in our Christian life, instead of…
Hi brothers and sisters, There’s so much attention and media time given these days to singing and the worship and elevation of those who sing. Our televisions are filled with shows like American/Australian Idol, Australia/Brittain’s Got Talent and The Voice. I must admit, I’m pretty sick of it. But there is a different kind of singing that thrills me and it clearly delights the Lord’s heart immensely. I’ve just been reflecting on some words some saints put to the old familiar tune…
Dear Fellow-Believer, When Jesus says “He is our life, joy, peace, love, compassion, grace, truth, strength……(fill in the blank), do we believe Him? For example, Jesus is the Prince of Peace, right? So if we have Jesus Christ living and dwelling inside of us, do we not have the Prince of Peace living inside of us and therefore have peace dwelling in us? Or do we hear/read the words that Jesus is the Prince of Peace and then because…
I don’t mean to carry burdens. Sometimes I don’t even see them coming, and it’s not until weeks later I realise I’ve been labouring under them. Burdens are cares, right? They’re worries, anxieties, and concerns. They are matters that weigh heavy upon our minds and hearts. But Jesus said to cast ALL our cares upon Him for He cares for us. He said to come unto Him all who are weary and heavy laden, to learn from Him, that He…
On my walk today I noticed all the barbed wire lying around the place, that has been cut down from the many fences that were used to separate the land into paddocks. Now the barbed wire has been pulled down, and in some places, you can see it rolled up and pinned to a pole here and there. In some cases, there are coils of it lying in the grass where it’s been left. In another place, along the path,…
I say to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.” Psalm 16:2 Dear Reader I am happy to say, that I cannot love you. Please hear me out. I have finally come to realise I can’t love anybody as they deserve to be loved, not anyone. I’ve finally come to truly see the FACT that nothing good dwells in my flesh (Romans 7:18). In my ‘self’ – I am so full of…
Until Christ is Formed in You There is a Christmas morn Celebrated each an’ every day When Christ the Saviour is born Not in feeding trough or hay But in hearts who choose, believing Having seen the Son of God Through faith in hearing, receiving The Life from up above That Life grows daily increasing In hearts of those now changed Ever fuller, deeper, wider None will ever be the same A will of our own no longer…
