There doesn't always need to be a reason.

Hi there.
I trust that you're work is going well.
Today I want to talk to you about, reasoning.
Yes, hard topic to talk about, but I trust, that you're big and brave to read it.

Reason, it's a strange word, we always going to battle with it.

We reason with our daily jobs, and we struggle with our ideas and the ideal.
What we need, at the exact time.

Jesus in the middle of it, and he gives us the time and place to heal.

Reason, again, there has to be a why in the middle of it.

Why lord all this pain?
Why Lord are others blessed and the people I pray for are blessed, and I'm struggling?

Why lord do we have such mental health, problems in our communities?
Why are the confused and lost, people, getting more lost and more confused?

Why lord is there so much pain in the world, why do little children battle with cancer?

Why Lord why?

Jesus, just why?


You know, when you're deep dark in the pits, where there doesn't seem like any light, shining down upon you? but you continue to look up?
Why is that?

Because you believe, in hope, that you're not completely hopeless.

Jesus is there in the pit, in your reasoning, in your dispear, in your tiredness.

You know, when you see someone continue to give you good work, and they do it effortlessly, and your exhausted, oh dear one, if that's you, just let others carry you.


In my own life, I have learn to serve, I serve boys at the boarding school, and the staff, and the morning tea ladies. I don't know in that morning what needs to be baked, but I do it with confidence.
Because.
A, I know that I am the only one, I do not say that with pride, but with confidence in Christ, that I can do the job.
Every day I have to come up with ideas, ones that wont' be repeated.
so the net is a good place to start.

2. it's my ministry.

to serve without complaining, I might be messy, but mess can be cleaned up.

you might think, your work doesn't count, it is amazing, you need a ministry.
as my best friend said, you need to be a service, but you also need to serve.

it might be the tea lady, or the cleaner, but without these people, our churches will be a mess, and cups won't be clean.

Everything that you do, works for the kingdom of God.

There is always a reason to serve.

I had a time in hospital last year,  i prayed for something to happen, and God gave me a breakdown.

I saw first hand mental health, I also saw alot of brokenness, I saw kids being on 24 watch, even having a shower they had to be watched, that they wouldn't harm themselves.

I also saw a lot of break through, I saw tears, but a lot of healing, I saw lies that I believed myself, and the truth.
I saw the most important thing, isn't always words said.
it's just being with someone who cries because well we just need someone to sit with, and be silent.
And I still have hospital visits, I still have hills to climb, I'm not going full force as I used to, just one step at time.

I've gone through some times, sure things aren't fair, we're never going to get fairness.
we' won't always be getting our way, life is always, changing, it's constantly on the move.

It's up to us, to see how we use our lives to enhance others.

No matter what mess you're in, if your a secret battle, or a bigger one.
 No matter if you're elated, or just playing it safe, in the hope, that nothing breaks.
My friend, I've been there, and it's dangerous,
because your always reasoning.

It's time to lay it to rest, and just be.

Put down your weapons, and just be held, stop fighting.
