Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world’s grief

 

“Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world’s grief.
 Do justly now, love mercy now, walk humbly now.
 You are not obligated to complete the work,
 but neither are you free to abandon it.”
~ The Talmud

*

From thoughts to actions and destiny

Watch your Thoughts; they become your words.
 Watch your Words; they become your actions.
   Watch your Actions; they become your habits.
   Watch your Habits; they become your character.
 Watch your character; it will become your destiny. 
 “unknown”

Major challenges and great things happpening in our life

Each day man is confronted with a new challenge.
Regularly we have to face matters that do not please us
or even frighten us.

In our life we often have to face a battle to reach an interesting goal in our life.

Before our feet we often find a big mountain to climb.

Great things happen
when God and you confront a mountain.
'Call to Me,
and I will answer you,
and show you great and mighty things,
which you do not know'
says the Lord

 Jeremiah 33:3


Dear God
Give that I may find you every day on my trip.

Help me to reach the goal I strive for.
Igive me in your Hands and Trust that you shall guide and bring me where you want me to go.

What God says or does not say

God does not say,
'I'll love you if...'
He does not say,
'I'll love you when...'
He says,
'I Love You !'

'The Lord your God is in your midst,
The Mighty One, will save,
He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you in His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.'
Zephaniah 3:17


Dear God, thank you for loving me.
In you I put my trust and my hope.

Gedachten, aanhalingen en Bezinningsteksten

English: http://whisperwalk.multiply.com (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Na dat Multiply gestopt is met het leveren van blogdiensten, moesten wij voor een tweede maal overstappen en werden wij nogmaals geconfronteerd met linken die niet meer werkten.
Op 14 juni  2013 3727 berichten hebbend op deze weblocatie is het wat te moeilijk om duizenden linken helemaal opnieuw te plaatsen. Daarom vragen wij u om uw begrip omtrent de linken die nog Multiply sites of Multiply artikels verwijzen. Best kan u de titel kopiëren en laten opzoeken ofwel enkel pagina's of blogposts voorwaarts of terug gaan om de andere versie te zien (in het Nederlands of het Engels) ofwel bij de tags onderaan te gaan kijken en die blogposts onder het gewenste onderwerp op te zoeken.

De teksten die geplaatst waren als overdenkingen of bezinningsteksten stonden oorspronkelijk geklasseerd onder bezinning, gedachte, gedachten, meditatie of meditation en reflection
 maar zullen nu vervolgd worden onder de hoofding bezinningstekst, en voor het engels onder de hoofding reflection text.

Zo zal u onder meer volgende teksten nu onder de tag bezinningstekst terug vinden: 

1. Liefhebben en winnen
2. Wees niet zo bezig met het optellen van uw problemen
3. Goede manieren kunst om mensen op hun gemak te stellen
4. Een alles oplossend geloof 
5. Stugge verontschuldiging is als geen 
6. Wees overtuigd dat wij geliefd zijn
7. Vrees hebben voor de juiste persoon
8. God wil u gunst betonen 
9. God te vertrouwen schuilplaats, veiligheid en geborgenheid
10. Door Christus' dood kunt u worden aangenomen als een kind van God 

Terwijl de engelse versies onder reflection text zal te vinden zijn, zoals:

1. Love and win
2. Do not be so busy adding up your troubles
3. Good manners art of making people easy
4. Solving all the problems that come to us
5. A stiff apology is like none
6. Be convinced that we are loved
7. God wants to be gracious to you
8. Fearing the right person
9. Trust God to shelter, safety and security 
10. Through Christ's death you can be adopted as a child of God

A call easy to understand

"'Follow me' said the King.

The call is so simple any child can understand it.
Its meaning is so sublime that no philosopher, be he ever so clever, can exhaust the infinite meaning of the mystery — its genius.
It is not misery — it is joy.
It is not doubt — it is conviction.
It is not fear — it is blessed assurance.

Disciples are bond servants, but also friends who know their Master’s will. They are not dragging themselves along reluctantly hoping that their misery may win them some reward. They follow gladly for love’s sake, trusting that because he lives, they will live also.

The genius of discipleship — the transformation — touches every aspect of life.
Being called, conviction, trust, surrender, purity, peace, prayer, service."

- Dennis Gillett

Getting of at the fence

"It doesn't matter which side of the fence you get off on sometimes.
What matters most is getting off.
You cannot make progress without making decisions."
- Jim Rohn

"I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot.
Would that you were cold or hot!
So, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot,
I will spew you out of my mouth."
Revelation 3:15-16

Me dear God,
let me not want to compromise somewhere in between.
Give that I get sufficient understanding to take the right decisions.Give me also the power to undertake the right steps to be accepted
  as a full follower of Christ
and a truly loving son of YOU  my God.
