A new favourite Bible verse......


Isn't it amazing how God speaks to us! I have been missing in action from blog world for a little while, but thought it was a good opportunity to get back to it. It has been a hard few weeks with a lot of things happening both personally and at church and basically settling into new surroundings, new church and people, but I am blessed to be reminded again and again how God loves me. This week I was wandering through Koorong and a plaque jumped out at me.................my new fave verse and I really believe that God was speaking to me through it.

"I have loved you with an everlasting love. With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself." Jeremiah 31:3

Awesome!

That through everything that I go through God loves me with a love that is everlasting! Never ends, never fails, never gives up on me, never lets me down, is always there, dependable, and absolutely everything that I ever need. What an awesome reminder of a God..........my God........my Creator.........who loves me and not only with an everlasting love, but also this verse reminds me that He has drawn me to Himself, to be His child and to love Him back.
Bless You Lord, may I continue to be all that you want me to be, and help me to allow you to shape and mould me the way that you want to.

Blessings on the journey................................Love Kylie xxx

mmmm Hi Kylie
Sounds like youve been on a tough road too. God is amazing in those down times
a part I like/ find comfort is when we are sinking he lifts down his right hand to pick us up as in Peter and the walking on water thing. sorry haven't got my Bible with me. Hope things get better for you
love always Barb

Iron sharpens iron........

After coming across this verse today I began to think about it a little. You know sometimes we can get ourselves all worked up over the most ridiculous things and let something that really wasn't a big deal ruin our day. It reminds me of the need to surround myself with people that encourage me, but also to be an encourager. Sometimes we are a little preoccupied with ourselves and what makes us feel happy, but I think that it is the wrong way of looking at things. Yes, I am important, but if I focus all on me, then what happens to everyone else. I guess what I really mean is that if we surround ourselves with God-fearing, loving people who offer good role models and less rubbish then that is what we will become ourselves. Iron sharpens iron......how we act, speak and encourage or influence can really affect others, and if we want to be sharp for God then we really have to be mindful of everything that we do, think and say all the time. Challenging...... I was helping someone out to...

Busy, busy, busy...

Well, today has been quite a busy day. Started off with getting to the hall to let people in who were using the hall today and then ducking off for a quick much needed hair cut - yay! Then off to get the mail (drop home and hang a load of washing out), and get some groceries for the pantry at the church only to find that when I got to the cash register I did not have a signed cheque with me - cause we have to have two signatures. So then I had to rush back to the hall to get some cheques signed and then had a 10 minute time limit to get back to the supermarket and back to the hall for a Mission meeting. Mission meeting done, it was time to get home for a little lunch before we had to make some phone calls and visit someone in the hospital and pay a visit to some friends with whom I had to deliver a promised zucchini slice (which was really good - by the way, at least Colin enjoyed the other one that I made!) Then we could go home, more phone calls, and some planning to do. So, this wa...

God is closer than you think..... part 1

In our small group over the last two weeks and heading into the next at least 5 weeks (depending on how long it takes to do each study..... this first session has taken us two weeks) we have been looking at the study "God is Closer Than You Think" by John Ortberg.... he also has a book of the same name. It has been encouraging to see the many ways through the Bible where God has been with His people, especially when they weren't expecting it. So, for the next few days I am going to do my homework on here as a blog each day. Hope that it works like that! The story of the Bible is the story of God's desire to be with people. He is determined that each of uys be His friend, His companion, and His dwelling place. He is stretching out to reach us and fill our lives with His presence. All it takes is the barest effort - the lifting of a finger, the whisper of a prayer - for all of us to reach Him. (God is Closer Than You Think Small Group Guide p.17) Ortberg talks abou...
