Hi there,
In recent times, we have had White Island, eruption, in New Zealand, Ohope.
A lot of people have died, is missing and serverly, burned.
It was a dark day for New Zealand.
A lot of people are blaming, the island, the cruise boat company, and possibly the tour operators that take people out to the island.
This people were on holiday enjoying their time, but extreme risks were taken that day the volcano erupted.
1.2 million pieces of skin is needed, to help heal these people.
We are made in the image of God, our father, and he still delights in us, no matter what race we are, or who we are.
Jesus love still loves you so much, that he knows how much pain you are in.
We can't rush grief, we can't hurry it up so we get over it faster, or quicker, it is like a wave in the ocean, out there by St Clair, and if you have seen a wave come, it only forms then crashes on the beach. maybe that's you, and you're ridding that wave of grief.
Maybe you're world has turned upside down, this year, and you're looking forward to the new decade of not being so tramatic.
Jesus loves you, just the way you are, nothing outside of that love is going to change that, there is no barrier with Jesus.
he reaches down to your need.
We have needs every day, no matter how big or small, we work with people who have done there best and their best might not be up you your standard, but it's all that they can do.
Jesus sees our needs, and he knows, what we need at the right time, and place.
It might not be, what we need, and yes people might have met our need in the past, now, and during.
Some people might not have, they might have disappointed us, made promises to us, causing our heart to break.
But Jesus in the only one who will be there through thick and thin.
We might think that girl might meet our needs, or that drink, or that porn website, or another church, or that family member or that loyal friend. but there comes a point, where we reach the end of the line.
That drink won't satisfy us, or the new girl that you've got, or that website, or that friend, we will constantly let others down.
We try our best not to, but we will.
We don't know when our days will be up, or change or cut short, the people on white Island didn't know that, they woke up, on the Ovation of the seas, the cruise liner, and probably looked forward to going out on the island.
Some didn't return.
That is why we need to live in the now, and make our lives worth while.
We all go through stages, where we don't know why, or what for.
Perhaps it wasn't in the diary, or planner, but what we do know, that friends and family, stick closer to you in the hard times, thats where the rubber hits the road.
We need all those important friends around us, that will help us on our journey.
We live in a world constantly, hit by fear, dread, and depression.
All real mental health problems.
I am living with a disability, that shortens life. a mild dose of it, but I'm determined, to accomplish, anything that I put my hand to.
To make an impact on the others around me, and hopefully a good one. and that is why we need to be considerate with others around us, because we don't know when our days will be up, our days are numbered.
We are called not to live with a spirit of fear, but that of a sound mind, and know the lord our God and walk humbly with him.
Those are my thoughts for today.
Chloe
