Waiting on God

I wrote this a few years ago when I read a book titled "Lady in Waiting":

As girls we let the world pressurize us in our relationships or even in wanting a relationship. We have this romantic view of love based on what we see in the movies or what we read in novels. We marry ourselves too quickly- rush into things and "act" as we think married couples do. What we don't understand is that marriage is something you work at. It comes with so many responsibilities so we need to be prepared for it. What we face with our boyfriends and girlfriends today is superficial- its on the surface. It doesn't even begin to reach the depth of what marriage is. As girls we do not understand the value of being a "lady in waiting"- being diligent- and using the time we have to build a relationship with God. God tells us and He understands that when we do get married it won't be easy to have such a strong relationship with Him. So what better time to have a relationship with Him now while we are still young and "unattached". Its about waiting for Jesus and understanding that He is your heavenly fiancé. If you

haven't learned to surrender to Jesus now, how will you submit to your husband in marraige?

Jesus is the life that satisfies.  He is the only "guy" who can love you and will love you unconditionally and He has proven it. We need to learn that we can only find fulfillment in God because He is always faithful. He leaves no room for disappointment.

If we are not content with ourselves- we will never find contentment in/with a man. If we do not realise the value of God then we will not experience the great things He has in store for us. Let go of chasing after fulfillment elsewhere and realize that God is at work in you life.

Pray for your relationships ladies. Pray for your future husband. But importantly pray that you are well prepared.

If you are in a relationship or if you are single, it is important to remember this: "GOD is your life and everyone/everything else is just in it"

A love song to God

Oh Lord You're Beautiful...

I don't know what it is about this song, be it the words or the tune but it really melts my heart and makes me want to bow down in worship. These are the lyrics:

"Oh Lord You're Beautiful"
(originally by Keith Green)

Oh Lord, you're beautiful
Your face is all I seek
And when your eyes are on this child
Your grace abounds to me

I want to take your word and shine it all around
But first help me just to live it Lord
And when I'm doing well, help me to never seek a crown
For my reward is giving glory to you

Oh Lord, you're beautiful
Your face is all I seek
And when your eyes are on this child
Your grace abounds to me

What is love?

Quote from one of my favourite books "I kissed dating goodbye". What an awesome book. If you havent read it, get yourself a copy.

oh Jesus

Faith that is based on the word of God

"In the beginning was the word, the word was with God and the word was God. He existed in the beginning with God. God created everything through him. The word gave life to everything that was created." John 1:1-2

Jesus is the word. Jesus is living and eternal so the word is living and eternal.

Our Faith must be based on the word of God and not our feelings. Our feelings will pass away, they are fleeting and dependent on our circumstances. What I feel today is not what I will feel tomorrow. However the word of God has been there from the beginning, it has been in existence and it still endures even today. It will never pass away (Matthew 24:25) and it remains truth despite our circumstances. Faith based on the word will never be shaken, like the word of God it will also endure. If our Faith is based on the word- it means that it is based on Jesus. Everything was created through Jesus so our faith, which is based on the living word (Jesus) will create - bring into existence- that which we ask! Faith brings that which is imagined/thought into reality.
