Updated the post some hours later 

I love to see God's Word on my blog and this vers(es) i am also THANKFUL for today!!
I read them probably more than once before but never in the "Message version" and today it was brought under my attention.......

Romans 8:28-38 (The Message)

 ^26-28Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God's Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don't know how or what to pray, it doesn't matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and keeps us present before God. That's why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good.

 ^29-30God knew what he was doing from the very beginning. He decided from the outset to shape the lives of those who love him along the same lines as the life of his Son. The Son stands first in the line of humanity he restored. We see the original and intended shape of our lives there in him. After God made that decision of what his children should be like, he followed it up by calling people by name. After he called them by name, he set them on a solid basis with himself. And then, after getting them established, he stayed with them to the end, gloriously completing what he had begun.

 ^31-39So, what do you think? With God on our side like this, how can we lose? If God didn't hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn't gladly and freely do for us? And who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God's chosen? Who would dare even to point a finger? The One who died for us—who was raised to life for us!—is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us. Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ's love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture:

   They kill us in cold blood because they hate you.
   We're sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one.
None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. I'm absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God's love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us.

 

WFW ~ Faith like an Mustard seed ~

Yesterday's blogpost made me remember that my faith was once like an Mustard seed!



Luke 17:5, 6 – The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” And the Lord said, “If you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
Many times we talk about having small faith, faith so small that it would move mountains. We’re not wrong… but God wants us to grow in our faith. God wants us to grow our faith in Him. A mustard seed is known to be one of the smallest seeds in the world, but when it grows, it grows into a huge tree, strong, with a large canopy.

Mustard tree

See, God wants us to exercise our faith. It’ll start small, but as we walk in faith with Him everyday, it will grow. It HAS TO grow. God will not increase our faith for us. Faith has to come from within us, only by knowing how good and faithful God is.
Faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God. The more we fill ourselves with God’s Word, the stronger our faith will become, even more so when we recognize that our God is a BIG and AWESOME God who is capable of anything and everything.

In Other Words Tuesdays ~" Control" verses FAITH....~

If you would like to participate in this week's quote, please visit the hostess' blog. If you would like to know more information about this group of Christian writers, click on In Other Words

One of Eve’s biggest mistakes was she stopped and started to think about what Satan was saying and it made sense to her. Not everything God tells us makes sense but that’s where faith comes in. We need to learn to be lead by our hearts and not our heads. Joyce Meyers

This quote came under my attention and kept lingering to think about it...

There came an internal talk with myself......... "This mistake you made and are making...still...."
Yes Lord that is my weak spot to grow fully....to mature as an Christian to be reliable to be used........!!
" In some area's you have faith in me and in other ones not...."
" You love to have control still in some area's in your life..........."
"Have faith....let go.......give me all your TRUST..........."

I "sapped" my thought away and go further with my day .......
Later on i came accross other sisters who are posting and linking-up and i started to be more drawn to think this more over.........

What make me as an human ( person) "walk easily" by using my  common sense.....? 
Than to walk in Faith??........

When looking at myself ........I believe it is how my mind was formed a long those years........
What out-weighed more...to stuff my mind with along those years.....The TRUTH OF GOD or THE TRUTH OF THE WORLD??
Today i praise God that i came in contact with His Word as an child and was put on an path to become an christian.........
But the impact of school,tv and all influenses of society was and  is great.......
During my up-bringing and life was MORE stimulated to use common sense and not to have faith.....
 Maybe FAITH  IN MYSELF was stimulated ......and in THAT i found the clue.........
I struggle and wonder frequently  why i get un-comfortable in situations...... My mind....MADE ME BELIEVE that i haveNO CONTROL!! 

When you can let go of the idea that it is possible  to control things to manipulate situations and people..........In fact when we do that we want to become God....( but God is not manipulating but drawing us with LOVE....)
Instead we need to TRUST and BELIEVE GOD and His Truth and ways.......!!
I always called myself when looking back now an "head christian"....at first and than GOD touched in His Grace and Mercy one moment my heart with His LOVE and I could do nothing else than say YES LORD I CHOOSE to follow........put my trust and believe in YOU...........HELP ME because by myself i can't...........and from there FAITH started to GROW......... .
MY FAITH really started as an mustard seed, and i praise God for that  and His never letting go and daily leading.

Matthew 17:20 (The Message)

 ²⁰"Because you're not yet taking God seriously," said Jesus. "The simple truth is that if you had a mere kernel of faith, a poppy seed, say, you would tell this mountain, 'Move!' and it would move. There is nothing you wouldn't be able to tackle."
 

FATHERSDAY MESS(AGE) 2010 !!

Proverbs 17:6 (New Living Translation)

 ⁶ Grandchildren are the crowning glory of the aged;
      parents are the pride of their children.

My Dad with my kids

My thoughts where drawn to my dad when i was reading blogposts for fathersday.

I must confess that i TOTALLY forgot that fathersday is tomorrow.

I am still wondering if the date to celebrate this day is the same all over the world.....LOL

My kids did not hear anything about it on school either......

Well i guess i extend to celebrate fathersday in our house to probably next week to be honest....but i know my husband would say "Don't bother..."

So to come back to THE REASON of this post is to put my thoughts on paper about my dad and so honour him because God says in THE BIBLE

Exodus 20:12 (The Message)

¹² Honor your father and mother so that you'll live a long time in the land that God, your God, is giving you.

This picture says ALOT about my dad and expresses his heart.This i realized when i start an surge what picture i have from my dad on my computer and saw it

It is an picture made on our last visit to my birthcountry ( longer than 6 years ago ).

My dad has an heart for children........My foundest thoughts of my dad was as an child......

My dad loves to teach about nature......to appreciate it and see the beauty in it......

He always said to me as his only child "You are the apple of my eye"!

I did not understand the depth of what he said until .....i left my parents as an young adult to come and life in Holland.

"His apple of his eye" was now far away and it caused a lot of pain in all those years....

I did not understand but now as a parent i can look at it differently

.

I appreciate and love my dad for  who he is "MY DAD"
Given by God to me ! 

When i thought as an child, as an teen as an adult my dad is JEALOUS.....

When i prayed/ pray about it i hear "Why it makes you angry.."??!!.........His acts are his way of showing love.... I LOVE YOU  THAT MUST BE MORE THAN ENOUGH  and so thus your dad !!. I am also an jealous God......."

Exodus 34:14 (New International Version)

¹⁴ Do not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.

I learn an great lesson in my relationship with my dad ( both my parents) What an important role an parent has......

TO PICTURE to our kids THE CARACTER of GOD!! No matter our imperfections as parents....God brings out ALWAYS an message out of an "mess"!!

THAT is what i realized on this fathersday of 2010

God said to me began to write...... Your mind or heart can feel or even see an "MESS" when thinking of your relationship with your dad but there is an MESSAGE in it when you talk it over with ME( your heavenly dad) while you writing........

I love you dad for who you where, are and will be !!

 Lord, I Thank you for my dad
Please take care of him
He is getting older,
but he is still brave and bold
Please take care of him 

Thank you, friend Jesus,
for my father who loves me,
and for God, my eternal father,
who made me and is always with me.

And THANK YOU LORD for loving

immensely both my dad and myself !
How Blessed I am!
Amen

 

Lyrics:
Oh, how He loves us so.
Oh, how He loves us.
How He loves us so.

He is jealous for me.
He loves like a hurricane.
I am a tree, bending beneathg the weight of His wind and mercy.
When all of a sudden, I am unaware of these afflictions - eclipsed by glory.
And I realize just how beautiful You are and how great Your affections are for me.

And, oh, how He loves us so.
Oh, how He loves us.
How He loves us so.

He loves us so.
He loves us so.
He loves us.
Oh, how He loves us.
Oh, how He loves us.
Oh, how He loves.

We are His portion.
He is our prize.
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes.
If grace is an ocean, we're all sinking.

And then heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss.
My heart turns violently inside of my chest.
And I don't have time to mantain these regrets when I think about the way He loves us.

Oh, how He loves us.
Oh, how He loves us.
Oh, how He loves.
Yeah, He loves us.
Oh, how He loves us.
Oh, how He loves us.
Oh, how He loves.

And, oh, how He loves us so.
Oh, how He loves us.
How He loves us so.

When i hear "The Lord's Prayer song" in the language of my birthcountry " Surinamees" it touched me deeply.......
This morning when looking it up it strucked me to see how an "Dutch children choir" sang this song as beautifull.......as Surinamees speaking choirs would bring it......


Like i heard an "wispering in my ear": " It doesn't matter in what language or who is singing and worshipping me.......I look at the hearts ....of who is uttering the words and i bless the persons.... and who is listening to it can experience my anointing....." 

Be blessed to hear nd sing " The Lord's prayer " In Surinamees and in Dutch.......

I ( WE ) Will Not Be Moved



Natalie Grant

I ( WE ) have been the wayward child


I  ( WE ) have acted out


I ( WE ) have questioned Sovereignty


And had my ( OUR )  share of doubt


And though sometimes my ( OUR )  prayers feel like


They're bouncing off the sky


The hand I ( WE )  hold won't let me ( US ) go


And is the reason why ...






I ( WE ) will stumble


I ( WE )  will fall down


But I ( WE )  will not be moved


I  ( WE ) will make mistakes


I ( WE )  will face heartache


But I ( WE ) will not be moved


On Christ the Solid Rock I  ( WE ) stand


All other ground is sinking sand


I ( WE ) will not be moved

WFW ....HIS SPLENDOR WAS LIKE THE SUNRISE..........

 Habakkuk 3

3b His glory covered the heavens
       and his praise filled the earth.

 ⁴ His splendor was like the sunrise;
       rays flashed from his hand,
       where his power was hidden.

⁵ Plague went before him;
       pestilence followed his steps.

 ⁶ He stood, and shook the earth;
       he looked, and made the nations tremble.
       The ancient mountains crumbled
       and the age-old hills collapsed.
       His ways are eternal.

Life's Journey.....~ My soul find rest in God Alone~

I don't know for who this is but i know that i know that i must bring an psalm under the attention of my readers.....and write my thoughts around it......


I'm pulled away from looking an soccerplay of the world cup to take my bible and read

Psalm 62

For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A psalm of David.

 ¹ My soul finds rest in God alone;
       my salvation comes from him.  ² He alone is my rock and my salvation;
       he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.
 ³ How long will you assault a man?
       Would all of you throw him down—
       this leaning wall, this tottering fence?
 ⁴ They fully intend to topple him
       from his lofty place;
       they take delight in lies.
       With their mouths they bless,
       but in their hearts they curse.
       Selah
 ⁵ Find rest, O my soul, in God alone;
       my hope comes from him.
 ⁶ He alone is my rock and my salvation;
       he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
 ⁷ My salvation and my honor depend on God ^[a] ;
       he is my mighty rock, my refuge.
 ⁸ Trust in him at all times, O people;
       pour out your hearts to him,
       for God is our refuge.
       Selah
 ⁹ Lowborn men are but a breath,
       the highborn are but a lie;
       if weighed on a balance, they are nothing;
       together they are only a breath.
 ¹⁰ Do not trust in extortion
       or take pride in stolen goods;
       though your riches increase,
       do not set your heart on them.
 ¹¹ One thing God has spoken,
       two things have I heard:
       that you, O God, are strong,
 ¹² and that you, O Lord, are loving.
       Surely you will reward each person
       according to what he has done.

After reading and struck by some truth's that i witness in daily life ( high lighted it) and experience in my walk with The Lord
I said God YES my soul can only find rest in YOU and YOU ALONE!
I saw pictures in my spiritual eye of SOLID STRONG ROCKS........and fortresses to keep safe from harm/attacks......
I remembered an holiday as an teen through the Amazone forest........And an climb i never climb before of an rock " The Voltz berg"....an JOURNEY with ALLOT of CHALLENGES and i remember me sweating and fighting to NOT listen or give in to the muscle pain and exhaustion.......


I remember being AFRAID to SLIP........and looking back how far i came already .....but i wanted to reach the TOP....
WHY ?? Because i knew it would boost me up to reached it no matter the challenges.......and an PROMISE was awaiting me..
 THE POWERFUL VIEW............The RESTING..........THE EXPERIENCE to reached the HIGHEST POINT ( the feeling of being ON TOP of the world!!)

On the Voltzberg, trying out bare feet?

On the Voltzberg ( Pictures from an blog about this trip i did)

To sit there on the top of the mountain..........
Intaking the breath taking view......
My body was resting and recovering from the JOURNEY.....
 A Journey with ALLOT of challenging moments....I came accros beautiful species views and sights but also dangerous species or others i wonder who they are and or if they are dangerous....
Is this not how we JOURNEY trough life........?


He wants to be our ROCK AND SALVATION.....
The SOLID ROCK on which we stand!!
Like i see myself discovering THIS ROCK....climbing to THE TOP of it........
And when THERE....or when stopping and admiring already some glimsess of the AMAZING view.......
MY SOUL.........OUR SOUL.....YOUR SOUL ......IS RESTING!!!


IN GOD..............
Seeing nature ...seeing HIS hand work.......
EXPERIENCING..........nature even ourselfse because WE ARE HIS HANDWORK.......amazes us and HE IS saying LET YOUR SOUL FIND REST IN ME ALONE!!

1 Samuel 2

Hannah's Prayer

 ¹ Then Hannah prayed and said:

       "My heart rejoices in the LORD;

       in the LORD my horn ^[a] is lifted high.

       My mouth boasts over my enemies,

       for I delight in your deliverance.  ² "There is no one holy ^[b] like the LORD;

       there is no one besides you;

       there is no Rock like our God.

 ³ "Do not keep talking so proudly

       or let your mouth speak such arrogance,

       for the LORD is a God who knows,

       and by him deeds are weighed.

 ⁴ "The bows of the warriors are broken,

       but those who stumbled are armed with strength.

 ⁵ Those who were full hire themselves out for food,

       but those who were hungry hunger no more.

       She who was barren has borne seven children,

       but she who has had many sons pines away.

 ⁶ "The LORD brings death and makes alive;

       he brings down to the grave ^[c] and raises up.

 ⁷ The LORD sends poverty and wealth;

       he humbles and he exalts.

 ⁸ He raises the poor from the dust

       and lifts the needy from the ash heap;

       he seats them with princes

       and has them inherit a throne of honor.

       "For the foundations of the earth are the LORD's;

       upon them he has set the world.

 ⁹ He will guard the feet of his saints,

       but the wicked will be silenced in darkness.

       "It is not by strength that one prevails;

 ¹⁰ those who oppose the LORD will be shattered.

       He will thunder against them from heaven;

       the LORD will judge the ends of the earth.

       "He will give strength to his king

       and exalt the horn of his anointed."

I openend my bible this morning and my eye fell on this prayer of Hannah

reading about woman in the bible always inspires me.God worked powerful through woman.....

Hannah a woman of great faith. She brings praise and thanksgiving to God

God answered her prayer and blessed her with an son....She gave him back to God......

She rejoices in The Lord.... The supreme source of Hannah's joy is not the child, but in the God who had answered her prayer," my horn is lifted high."! To have one's horn lifted up by God is to be delivered from disgrace to an position of honor and strength.

I was looking for an song about this prayer and i found one but still i felt to look more around and found ' an modern Hannah" A new generation of woman with the faith of Hannah....with the openness to be led by God's Spirit.....God loves the heart of an child...When we keep our heart like an child.....

When i listened and look at "Hannah's prayer..." It stirred me up and i could not keep sitting and be silence...I had to agree and say Amen and lift my hands up in worship to the Lord!

Let's pray together with this little girl .......
