Beautifully broken

Hi there.

How are you?
 I hope that you're having a  nice day, after all the snow, that has come, the wind and the sunshine has come out and it has all ready melted away.

I recently had 5 glorious days, up in Timaru, it was such an encouraging time, going to church, was a high light, going to a musical concert, was amazing, and hanging out with some really good friends.

I really loved it,  and sometimes we need to have those days when we just enjoy the moment without having, any plans.

And forgive me friends ,if some of my posts feel like the same thing over and over. One thing that I have learnt recently is, that no matter if you're contantstly battling, with somethings that you just can't face,  or go through, and no matter if you're wondering, why, or what, or how.
The lord above knows, and you might think, ''yeah, people always say that, just to make me feel better.'' but really it is true, beause you are a child of God, you're still a child of God, no matter what you've done, whatever your sickness is  no matter what you're doing, how you are right now, doesn't determine your outcome.

You are no longer a slave to fear,  there is no fear in Jesus.

His love is so vast, and his kindness, is so big, that you can't measure it.

And some of you need to know, to take people's kindness, and their love because they love you.

It might take  some time to accept that,  but they are wanting to bless  you because you bless them.
And you  are doing it not because they are your friends, but you're doing it for God.

Soon, I will be packing up my room, and moving down south, to carry on my career, and learn. I don't know what is laying before me, but all I know, is God is good, and there's no where I can't hide, from God, and trusting God.

But we can't just say we're trusting God, with out actively doing something.
So when does the rubber hit the road?

When we are intentional, and we do something about it.

Instead of blaming, the past, we're looking to the future,  what has happened has happened, but we're past that, our past doesn't define us any longer.

Remember the people in the bible, the great people in the bible, and the lady with the oil, she had nothing, and the authorities, were coming to take everything away, even her son into captivity.

What did she have?
she had one little dish of oil, that was it.

What happened to that oil?

The man of God, came and blessed that oil, and she managed to sell it, to pay off her debts, and her whole life was turned around.

But it doesn't end there, it comes up in other areas in the bible, simply because of obedience.
We need to be obedient to things that God calls us to do, and that means, doing it.

Because you know, that you are called to do it, live without limits, we often put limits on ourselves, we often think this is safe, and we think it's safe beause that it all we know.

And that only works so far.

We serve a an UNLIMITED  God,  who breaks every chain of bounadge, of fear, of miss trust, of whatever your doing, he turns that into the oppososite.

We don't need to have goal charts to please him, we dont need megaphones to shout at him, we just need to be slient, before him, to wait for his voice, to tell us what to do.

And what does he want us to do?

walk humbly before him,  no great smoke machines at worship, no mirriors,  no church is better than the other ones in town.
He just wants us to walk humbly and roll up our sleeves and start to serve, serve people where they are at in life.

And walk beside them.

That is all that is required of us.
