Feestyd, Rustyd, Vastyd, Jesus se tyd

Toe ek die eerste keer die foto sien het ek vir ‘n vlietende oomblik gewonder of ek dalk moet aanstoot neem want mens word min gekonfronteer met Jesus en Kersvader in een foto. Dit ‘hoort amper nie bymekaar nie’.
 
Maar iets anders het hardnekkig in my gees kom vasskop hoe langer ek na die prentjie kyk. 

‘n Vader wat vir Sy skepsels ‘n Offer bring. ‘n Vader wat bereid is om Sy Seun vir ‘n gebroke wereld te gee sodat ons 'n verhouding met Hom kan he...

Vir my is dit ‘n uitbeelding van ‘n liefdevolle en baie hartseer Vader wat met ’n swaar hart Sy geliefde Seun in ’n krip neerle, wat Homself moet wegskeur van die liefde in die oe wat na Hom terugstaar.... oe wat se "Ek verstaan Vader".
 
Nogtans U wil.
 


In ‘n tydlose oomblik voer Pa en Seun die mees intiemste gesprek ...

My Seun, weet dat Ek Jou met alles in My lief het.  Alles wat Jou gaan seermaak, gaan My net so seermaak want Ons is Een. My ingewande is in beroering oor Jou. Wanneer Jy gekruisig gaan word, moenie moed verloor nie My Seun, Ek sal Jou nooit begewe en Jou nooit verlaat nie.  Ek is Jou Pa en Ek sal Jou sy nie vir een oomblik los nie. Jy is kosbaar in My oe.  Jy moet die mense-kinders gaan leer om te vergewe soos Ek en Jy hulle vergewe, sodat Ons ook hulle sondes kan vergewe.  Vertel vir die mense-kinders hoe oneindig lief Ons hulle almal het. Elke liewe een van hulle.  Ongeag wat hulle al gedoen het. Weet My Seun dat alles wat Jy moet deurgaan op aarde My wil vir Jou is. Maar wees sterk, Ek sal My engele aangaande Jou opdrag gee om die pad vir Jou gelyk te maak. My Gees sal op Jou rus en Ek sal Jou lei op die pad wat Jy moet loop. Ek sal My oë nie vir een oomblik van Jou afhaal nie.  Moenie moed verloor nie My Seun, dis net vir ‘n kort rukkie dan is Ons weer bymekaar…

Bible - Truths

-
And we have known and believed the love that God has in us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him. In this is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, that as He is, so also we are in this world. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has torment. He who fears has not been perfected in love. 1John 4:16-18 The Bible says that God is LOVE... And in the same verse it says that there is no fear in love. They are opposites in the Kingdom. If we are operating in fear we are working for the enemy even if we think we are doing something 'righteous'. This would count especially in cases where we care too much what others think of us - if we are fearing people more than we fear God we are people pleasing. Having respect and love for another person is NOT the same as people pleasing and sometimes when we are immature in love we can mistake the two. We need to learn how to have respect and lov...

The Dogwood Tree

-

Here is a small reminder of what happened on Good Friday long ago. The dogwood was the tree chosen to construct the Cross that would be used to take the body of Jesus. Even though His body may have been taken from this earth, His spirit remains and every spring we are blessed with a reminder of the events that unfolded on that fateful weekend. The blooms often appear in the shape of a Cross with holes in the tips of the pedals signifying the nails that were driven into the Cross. If you look closely at these holes you can notice a faint red stain representing the Blood. In the center you will find a green bloom symbolizing the crown of thorns placed on the head of Jesus. The dogwood is more than a tree…it is a representation of life. With every spring we are reminded of what God did for us and given the chance to be reborn and start a new life as “children of God”. (John 3:1)
