Lei my na groen weivelde Here

-
Ek voel vuisvoos.

Miskien is dit die misluke vaalheid van die winter.

Die seisoen is die jaar té lank. Voel asof ek net stof sluk.

Boonop voel ek skuldig omdat ek wegkruip -

Vir mense.

Wil niemand sien nie, nie hoor nie, nie praat nie.

Skuiling vind van alles wat my energie tap en my aandag opeis.

Ek wil intap. Soak... Terugtrek totdat ek weer mens voel,

totdat ek nét my Vader se harklop kan hoor

Ek wil niks stadsgeluide hoor nie.

Ek smag na stilte. Heel-word-stilte. My-self-weer-vind-stilte.

Ek wil verlore raak in my eie droomwêreld en my verbeel ek kan die geruis van engel-vlerke hoor. Hemelse geluide.

Ek wil terugtrek en stil raak totdat ek die Here se liefde kan hoor.

Totdat ek myself weer vind en weer lief kry.

Totdat ek genoeg van oor het en ek meer genade en geduld vir my naaste het.

Totdat die vrug van die gees my ritme raak en siele om my verkwik.

Soos ‘n hert wat smag na waterstrome, so smag my siel na U my Heer. My siel dors na U, na die lewende God … Ps 42

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)
