Stil by Sy voete

“En sy het ’n suster gehad met die naam van Maria; dié het aan die voete van Jesus gesit en na sy woord geluister.”
‭‭LUKAS‬ ‭10‬:‭39‬ ‭AFR53‬‬

• Hoe lank laas het jy werklik stil geword? Nie net stil in jou mond nie… maar stil in jou hart?
• Ons leef in ’n wêreld waar alles jaag—take, verantwoordelikhede, bekommernisse. So maklik raak ons soos Martha: besig, gejaag, en vasgevang in alles wat moet gebeur.
• ⁠Ons wil reg doen, ons wil voorsien, ons wil alles in plek hê… maar intussen mis ons die belangrikste: Jesus se teenwoordigheid.
• ⁠Maria het iets verstaan wat baie van ons vergeet: dat om by Jesus se voete te sit, is nie tyd mors nie—dit is lewe ontvang.
• ⁠Wanneer jy stil word by Sy voete:
* kry jou siel rus
* hoor jy weer Sy stem
* ontvang jy nuwe krag en vrede
* ⁠Geliefde, Jesus soek nie eers jou prestasie nie—Hy soek jou hart. Hy nooi jou vandag: “Kom sit… kom luister… kom wees net by My.”
• Moenie toelaat dat besig wees jou van Sy teenwoordigheid steel nie.
• Kies vandag om, al is dit net vir ’n paar minute, stil te word… en weer naby te kom.

Gebed: Here Jesus, ek kom vandag en kies om stil te word by U voete. Vergewe my waar ek te besig geraak het en U teenwoordigheid misgeloop het. Leer my om te luister na U stem en rus te vind in U. Vul my hart met U vrede en lei my elke dag nader aan U. In U naam bid ek. Amen. 🙏🏻

Het self gesterf

“Ek is met Christus gekruisig, en ek leef nie meer nie, maar Christus leef in my…” - Galásiërs 2:20

• Om “self te sterf” beteken nie fisiese dood nie, maar om daardie ou mens – vol eie wil, trots en selfsug – neer te lê by die kruis van Jesus.
• ⁠Dit beteken om nie meer my eie planne eerste te stel nie, maar om te sê: “Here, nie my wil nie, maar U wil.”
• ⁠Wanneer ons self sterf, maak ons plek vir iets baie groter: Christus wat deur ons leef. Dan begin ons anders d**k, anders praat en anders optree.
• ⁠Sy liefde vloei deur ons, Sy vrede vul ons hart, en Sy krag dra ons elke dag.
• ⁠Die lewe wat ons nou leef, is nie meer gebaseer op eie vermoë nie, maar op geloof in Jesus – Hy wat ons liefgehad het en Homself vir ons oorgegee het.
• ⁠Geliefde, dit is ’n lewe van oorgawe, waar ons elke dag kies om onsself neer te lê en Hom toe te laat om in en deur ons te werk.
• ⁠Self sterf is nie verlies nie… dit is die begin van ’n nuwe lewe in Christus.

Gebed: Here Jesus, dankie dat U, U lewe vir my gegee het. Vandag kies ek om my eie wil neer te lê en myself te kruisig saam met U. Kom leef U lewe deur my. Vul my met U liefde, U vrede en U krag. Laat mense nie meer my sien nie, maar U in my. In Jesus naam. Amen 🙏🏻

Shalom 🕊️

Today as I close the day I remember what God has done for me. My past has no more pain, no more regret and no more anger. I am set free in being grateful for what God has done in my life! I have a new reason to live, I have everything I need, my cup is overflowing, I am yielded to His Love. No one can separate me from His love any more!

Romans 8:38-39
For I am certain that nothing can separate us from His love: neither death nor life, neither angels nor other heavenly rulers or powers, neither the present nor the future, neither the world above nor the world below — there is nothing in all creation that will ever be able to separate us from the love of God which is ours through Christ Jesus our Lord.

🐚As I was sitting praying today a sea shell came to mind. God is the sea and we are merely shells spreading His Word and Love. He must be glorified but we must be His instruments as shells we must be filled with His Holy Spirit and Love. As the depth of the Ocean holds so much deep truths of God's Word so we must be the instrument just being the example and being the truth. So that when someone picks us up they see not only the outer shell but the inner beauty that radiates from the Sea of the Father Heart of God.🐚

On our own a shell is empty, fragile, just an outline. But when we’re yielded to Him, He fills us with His Spirit the way the tide fills every curve of a shell.

Our calling isn’t to draw attention to the shell itself, but to carry the sound and scent of the Sea. When someone picks us up in a conversation, in a crisis in everyday life may they not just see the hard outer form, but hear the echo of the Ocean within us, the love, the holiness, the truth of the Father’s heart.

We are not the Sea, and we were never meant to be. We are instruments shaped by His hand, carried by His currents, and filled with His presence. And when we live that way full of His Spirit, transparent to His light He alone is glorified, and others catch a glimpse of the depths they were made for.

🐚"Lord, be the Sea. Let me be the shell emptied of myself and filled with You. Lifted up only so others might hear Your voice through me.”🐚

He carried the weight of our sin and rejection. Rejected, beaten, tortured and abandoned. Today we remember our Saviour for His miraculous redemption plan.

Isaiah 53:3-7 NLT
He was despised and rejected— a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief. We turned our backs on Him and looked the other way. He was despised, and we did not care. Yet it was our weaknesses He carried; it was our sorrows that weighed Him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for His own sins! But He was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed. All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God’s paths to follow our own. Yet the Lord laid on him the sins of us all. He was oppressed and treated harshly, yet he never said a word. He was led like a lamb to the slaughter. And as a sheep is silent before the shearers, He did not open his mouth.

Parents your teenage child needs you. Have you spent time with them to pray? Have you taken them out for a milkshake. Dads love your daughters and give them a special time to bond. Moms listen when your teenager speaks. Ultimately love and acceptance is all that is needed. With Jesus all things are possible.

Marriage doesn’t fail overnight.

It fails when:

He thinks paying bills is enough.
She thinks silent resentment is communication.
He stops dating her.
She stops respecting him.
They both start venting to friends instead of fixing it at home.

You don’t wake up divorced.
You slowly stop choosing each other.

And no, love isn’t enough.

Effort is.
Discipline is.
Self awareness is.
Accountability is.

A lot of people don’t want a marriage.
They want a wedding and someone to blame later.(Facebook post Her Motherhood Diary)

It's inevitable that you will disagree when you spend your life together. But it's important that you never stop talking and working toward unity.

Marriage takes two, yes, but it also requires that you're both engaged emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually in fighting for your union.

Don't let passivity keep you from digging deep and finding agreement on the important things and working past negotiable differences.

Here are a few tips to keep your lifelong dialogue going.

1.) Talk. Actively engage your minds in discussions and learn to articulate your own thoughts in a loving way.

2.) Listen. Give each other the space and time they need to communicate by listening. Don't interrupt, just be silent and listen.

3.) Seek understanding. When you listen, try to understand your spouse's perspective.

4.) Act. All the conversations in the world won't mean anything if it never translates into tangible action. Follow through with action.

5.) Rest. Remember that you're both works in progress and you're in this for the long haul. There is grace as God works in you, so rest and be patient.

We pray that your marriage is full of unity that comes from deep, intentional conversations.

Fight fiercely for each other, and agree to never, ever give up.

Stay fierce,
Ryan & Selena
