In Other Words Tuesdays ~Ministry to the "suffering world".~

This is today's quote for "In Other Words Tuesdays"

over the weekend i read it and was thinking what this quote says or means to me......

I was agreeing in my thoughts with it.

How do i relate with others who suffer?

In my work with patients with Alzheimer and dementia for example.....?

When i see suffering around me........

When i suffer myself who do i run to?

Do i seek others who i can identify with..?

Another part of the quote says God gave an role to suffering people .....

and suffering gives credibility in an 'suffering world"!

The thought crossed my mind that:

" To relate with suffering to reach the ones who suffer....

To talk so to say the same language"

You need to identify with the suffering"

You must be aquainted with sorrow.........!!

The person who is the best aguainted with sorrow was/is 

JESUS CHRIST!

Jesus Suffers With Us

In Philippians 3  Paulus said

^10-11I gave up all that inferior stuff so I could know Christ personally, experience his resurrection power, be a partner in his suffering, and go all the way with him to death itself. If there was any way to get in on the resurrection from the dead, I wanted to do it. 

Revelation 3:20

 ^20-21"Look at me. I stand at the door. I knock. If you hear me call and open the door, I'll come right in and sit down to supper with you. Conquerors will sit alongside me at the head table, just as I, having conquered, took the place of honor at the side of my Father. That's my gift to the conquerors!  

The best person to minister to people who suffer is Jesus Christ and we as followers of Christ must be His hands and feet in this suffering world....

We bring Him ;His Message...His Love......and all that He wants to be in and through us to the suffering world. 

We are linking up with Kathryn today at expectant hearts, please join us.

My Walk @ Talk..........~ My WILL your JOY ~

Where/How do i start......?
I'm struggling in an way how to "blog' and what to blog about?
When i opened this blog beginning of 2009...I gave it the name as you see "My Journey".
It was like an kind of "New years resolution" to put so to say "pen on paper" about the "thoughts @ directions" i get from God  while i'm traveling through 'life's Journey".

I felt God wanted to learn me about himself while blogging and encountering other "christians bloggers".
I tried to find my way through "blogland" and indeed learned alot and am still learning. Also i get  more and more encouraged to keep on focussing on God's will and goals for me and my family's life.......


I choose to link-up with meme's who stimulate my christian growth....; foccussing on the bible through verses.......On thursday's bringing thanks to the Lord and friday's focussing on prayer for and with eachother.

For some weeks now : I am debating in my mind to find an way how to share about ; "My walk and talk" so to say with The Lord......
It felt like God wants me to share it ...and He knows the purpose.......
I was debating about it because it feels strange to share those thoughts/prayers with the "outside world" ........My walk and talk!!??
I must say outside the linking-up posts i blog some  about topics that came to my mind.......i believe it was on fathersday and with some verses out of the bible what made me wonder......"Life's Journey.....~ My soul find rest in God Alone~" @"WOW " DEAR FATHER God
When i made those blogs i experience kind of victory over feelings of insecurity about my writings ( also not in my "native" language) and like after my "fathersdaypost" an release in my 'spirit' i was able to share and like "the Holy Spirit' could get more way in myself......
For me that i felt clearly an release of an "kind of bondage " made me think and pray more deeply ...and the same time my sister in Christ "One heart" shared about " Way of Worship" to the Lord.......

I believe that "My Walk and Talk " with The Lord.......;probably sharing my prayers and devotions of the day and my thought frame and maybe also the effect on my daily living .Must become the first priority on my blog....
It will give God's spirit more way overhere and also in myself.......
To Him and him Alone i want to bring Glory....In "My Walk" ;and blogging became an part of my walk in and with Christ......and "My Talk (prayers)" to the Lord.....i want to reflect my love to Him because HE LOVED ME FIRST!


On my shelf since my teen years was always an book "God's Calling" Now i know that is the original name because i encountered it in the dutch version" Jezus Spreekt"

I got it from my "great aunt " Esselien " I can picturing her dancing or playing music or singing now or chatting with the Lord because she loved to chat....Also with me as an child....Really found memories to recall. My favorite time was to sleep with her in her "master-bed" in the afternoons or evenings chatting a long try to get her attention while she was reading or writing in her dairy or writing  with her 'penpals' all over the world........
One day i recall i asked her why she reads "Jezus Spreekt" every day and she told me about the book...the history and that it inspires her especially that it where messages to 2 woman who wanted to listen to The Lord and follow.......and that is what she want also for her life.......
So i began to read also in it and one day she gave me one as present..... and that was before my traveling to Europe......Along those years i have seasons of not looking in it but there are periods and days i see it and pic it up........
There is now also an companion book "God at Eventide"
So today i share out of this book
 

My Will - Your Joy

Our Lord and our God. Lead us, we beseech Thee. Lead us and keep us.

You can never go beyond My Love and Care.  Remember that.  No evil can befall you. Circumstances I bless and use must be the right ones for you.

But I know always that the first step is to lay your will before Me as an offering, ready that I shall do what is best, sure that, if you trust Me, what I do for you will be best.

Your second step is to be sure, and to tell me so, that I am Powerful enough to do everything ("The hearts of kings are in My rule and governance"), that no miracle is impossible with me ("With God all things are possible" and "I and My Father are one").

Then leave all with Me. Glad to leave all your affairs in a Master Hand. Sure of safety and protection. Remember you cannot see the future. I can.

You could not bear it. So only little by little can I reveal it to you. Accept My Will and it will bring you joy.

The Lord is thy keeper; the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. Psalm 121:5

Now to Him who is able to keep you from falling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.    Jude 1:24-25
