Beauty of God

Recently I have moved down to Cape Town and what has really struck me is that in Cape Town you have some amazing scenic drives and when you drive in this area as a tourist or just someone who lives here you cant help but be amazed by the sights.  What i getting at here is that the beauty is so awesome that I cant believe that there are people who think this life of ours just happened all from a big bang.

There can only be a God and some major higher power that has put this all together - I do not believe otherwise.

So for everyone no matter where you are take time to look around you and you will be amazed to see what God has created and usually we miss the most awesome things right in front of us.

I have also found that when one feels God is perhaps not around then all you need do is look and you will see God and nature is one awesome place to experience God.

May you all look at surroundings in a different light as before and you will see God is always present in everything all the time.

In a Minute (Email received)

Smith climbs to the top of Mt. Sinai to get close enough to talk to God.

Looking up, he asks the Lord, “God,

what does a million years mean to you?”

The Lord replies, “A minute.”

Smith asks, “And what does a million dollars mean to you?”

The Lord replies, “A penny.”

Smith asks, “Can I have a penny?”

The Lord replies, “In a minute.”

"The Lord's will be done"

Today has marked an end and i found closure of something thats been bugging me for the last 7 months - unfortunately fairness is not always something people care about and when i realised how people have no care in what happens to others by means of being unfair i got home and was looking at the photo thats above "an old photo of me and my daughter" the words - " the Lord's will be done" came to me and i knew my last 7 months of worry was over and i quote this - "John Calvin as he lay dying said: 'You are slaying me, Lord, yet it is enough for me to know that it is your hand that is slaying me.' Here is the way to pray, passively, 'Your will be done.' For even through sickness and in death we can bring honour to his name.
If we begin to pray it with understanding, we will find this great state room of the Lord's Prayer distinctly challenging and uncomfortable. It has within it a great reforming principle which, if really worked out rather than just repeated, will change our thinking, speaking and way of living. It will begin to make us Christ-like, holy.
'Heavenly Father may we not only hear the beautiful words of this prayer, but follow them, obey them, shape our living and our dying around them.'
I accept that His will be done in everything so therefore 7 months of worry was taken away and who knows what comes next when you accept and declare God's will be done - may you be blessed in all that lies ahead.
