Clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience


"The best portion of a good man's life:
his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love."
- William Wordsworth


"Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved,
clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience."
Colossians 3:12

Dear God,
please do give me insight,
and give that I can take on an attitude of unselfishness,
can bring up patience, gentlesness
and give my love to others.

It is good for me to draw near to God. — PSA. 73:28.

It is good for me to draw near to God.PSA. 73:28.

Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth. — A day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a door‑keeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. — Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.

The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. — Therefore will the Lord wait that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted that he may have mercy upon you: for the Lord is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.

Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us: ... let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience.

Psa. 26:8. ‑Psa. 84:10. ‑Psa. 65:4. Lam. 3:25. ‑Isa. 30:18. Heb. 10:19,20,22.

We are to be joyful in the midst of our trials



"We are to be joyful in the midst of our trials

as the testing of our faith produces patience,
something which every one of us can surely use more!
Not easy, but worth the effort of trying."
- Unknown

"My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials,
knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.
But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be
perfect and complete, lacking nothing."
James 1:2-3

God, my Father, let the tests that I have to undergo be limited
and give that I can earn enough patience to resist temptations
Make me in your wonderful force very powerful and strong to bear everything.
Let me be steadfastly and let me through faith and patience share your promises.


We horen vrolijk te zijn in het midden van onze beproevingen


"We horen vrolijk te zijn in het midden van onze beproevingen
 daar de testen van ons geloof geduld produceren,
iets wat een ieder van ons zeker meer kan gebruiken!
Niet makkelijk, maar zeker de moeite van het proberen. "

"Mijn broeders, tel het tot alle vreugde wanneer je in verschillende proeven valt,
wetende dat het testen van uw trouw geduld produceert.
Maar laten we geduld hebben en de standvastigheid zich ten volle verwerkelijken,
 dat u perfect en volledig kan worden aan niets ontbrekende. "
James 1:2-3

God, mijn Vader, laat de beproevingen die ik moet ondergaan beperkt blijven
en geef dat ik voldoende geduld kan opbrengen om de bekoringen te weerstaan.
Maak mij in uw heerlijke kracht machtig en sterk mij om alles uit te houden.
Laat mij standvastig zijn en door geloof en geduld deel krijgen aan uw beloften.

The truth is very plain to see and God can be clearly seen

SOMETHING TO CHEW ON
(Written by Jason Cook)

There is a time in a person’s life when there are many questions to be asked but few answers to be given. This is what can make life so difficult. The only way to find true peace is by seeking God. He has the answers which we truly desire which will enable us to have peace within our whole being. The Bible clearly states in Deut. 6:5: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.” Verse 6 also goes on to say “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart.” Verse 7 again says “You shall teach them diligently to your children and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down and when you rise up.”

  God can do many things for us if He is our true life. 1 Cor. 1:26: “For you see your calling brethren that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble are called.” For we all have a calling but it is by the hand of God and not by the hand of the world, for the world is so caught up in its cunningness and its desirable ways that we do not see what is right from wrong except through the word of God. The truth is very plain to see and God can be clearly seen and heard speaking to our hearts and to our minds to give us courage to be able to carry on with the things that surround us.

  Even before time began God has been there. Time is a wonderful thing to have but it is how we spend our time and what energy we put in to it that matters; “a time to love a time to cry, a time to rejoice and a time to celebrate.” One thing we must spend time with is the Word of God. There are many times when God is in effect put on the shelf and left closed like a dusty old book forgotten about. But to realize who He is and what He truly stands for and what He is all about is light and love and pure strength.
 
Psa. 27:14 says “Wait on the Lord, be of good courage and He shall strengthen your heart. Wait, I say, on the Lord.”
  Waiting can be one of the hardest things to overcome because that is the way of human nature and the flesh. Waiting with patience is the one thing we must all learn to have and some have more than others which is a blessing.
  Jam. 1:4: But let patience have its perfect work that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. God has the power to give us all that we need. Not always what we want, but with the time and patience that He gives us, later He may even give us some of our wants. The trust that we show to the Lord can come in many ways. One way is how we live our lives, asking God to help us with the things that we are to face each day, week, month and year. Another way is to talk to others about the wonderful hope that the Lord gives us if we trust in Him with all our heart. One of the first commandments was “to love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength,” and to “seek first the kingdom of God and all these things will be added unto you.”

 We are all influenced by many things in this life that we live. There are so many things that can encourage us but there are so many things that can prevent us from moving forward from the past and going forward into the future. We can either choose to be in the dark or we can be covered by the glory of the Lord.


 Rom. 3:23 “For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.” Rom. 9:23: “and that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy which He had prepared beforehand for glory.” To really realise that we have a God that watches us and waits for us to be able to call on His name whenever He is needed, is a pretty powerful thing to behold, for the power of God cannot and will never be able to be comprehended except by reading His word. By doing so we can truly know who God is which is truth in itself. Truth can be a painful thing when we are not prepared for it. But we must all deal with these things when we are faced with the thought that we could or might be wrong. We must all come to the conclusion that there is only one true thing for us and that is the Lord thy God who has the power over all things. He is in control of all the beasts that walk the earth, all the creatures that swim in the ocean and the birds which fly in the heavens. From the insects to the air we breathe, the sun which heats our planet to the love which surrounds us and our family.

 We live a life which we are totally in control of in deciding which path we should lead and how we should be living it. By reading the Word of God it can give us strength and hope with the promise God has given us of the gift of life eternal through the lord Jesus Christ. Through his salvation we can be saved from the darkness and turn it into light to move forward strengthening our faith and our belief in what we feel is necessary for the  hope that God has in store for us. Hoping for this we can always depend upon His love and kindness.
  Psa. 116:1-2: “I love the Lord, because He has heard my voice and my supplications. Because He has inclined His ear to me, therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.”
  Psa. 116:8-9: “For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears and my feet from falling. I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living.” When we walk with the Lord it is not an easy thing to do as we have seen. Looking around us we see how dangerous the world really is. The flesh in itself finds it nice to the eye but so evil in its content and what it represents. There are so many nice things in the world that appeal to the flesh and take us away from God but with it there comes a price - the price of sin and death. This is one thing we truly do not desire to have, but that is up to each person’s responsibility in how they live their lives. Each person has his or her own responsibility to make their own choice whether right or wrong. My choice is our almighty God.

  When you try to think of the many ways God has intervened in our lives it is amazing. He has provided food and shelter and we have our families which give us strength. But most importantly we have His love all around us. We represent God and the truth that He stands for and all the goodness that is in His son Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour who is the light of the world. He sits at the right hand of power which is the everlasting Father God almighty. We have all been called in some small way by God and there are many ways by which we are called.

  1 Pet. 5:5-11: “Likewise you younger people submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another and be clothed with humility for God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time. Casting all your care upon Him for He cares for you. Be sober, be vigilant because your adversary human nature walks about you like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. Resist your nature, be steadfast in the faith and know that the same sufferings are experienced by your brothers and sisters in this world. But may the God of all grace who called you to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while perfect, establish, strengthen and settle you. To God be the glory and the dominion forever and ever amen.

  There is a saying “you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink.” The same goes that “you can lead a man to God but only he can get his salvation.”
  Ps. 3:8: “Salvation belongs to the Lord; your blessing upon Your people.”
  2 Cor. 6:2: “For God says in an acceptable time I have heard you and in the day of salvation I have helped you.”
  Heb. 2:3: “How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him.”
  Psa. 68:20: “Our God is the God of salvation. And to the Lord belongs escape from death.”

  We all try to the best of our ability to live under God’s law and His guidance by reading His Word and studying with willingness. By having a hunger for the Word of God to truly know who God is and to know that He will never leave us or forsake us. He is not a god of wood or stone; not a god we cannot hear or cannot see, but a God who loves us and cares for us and accepts us for who we are, not what we are. Praise His almighty name for He is a God of the living, not the dead.

  Thank you Father for being in our lives and showing us the path to life - not to destruction. We want to live Lord, we all want to live.
  We desire oh Majesty that we might live by Your decree Amen.

One moment of patience may ward off a great disaster

"One moment of patience may ward off a great disaster;
one moment of impatience may ruin a whole life."
- Chinese Proverb

"Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved,
clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances
you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you."
Colossians 3:12-13

Jehovah give sufficient patience that I can afford
to go gently through this life
and for everything to go quietly.

Een ogenblik geduld mag een grote ramp afweren

"Een ogenblik geduld mag een grote ramp afweren ;
een moment van ongeduld kan een hele leven ruïneren . "
- Chinees spreekwoord

"Daarom, als Gods uitverkoren volk, heilige en innig geliefde,
kleedt jezelf met mededogen, goedheid, nederigheid, zachtheid en geduld.

Draag met elkaar en vergeef welke klachten u tegen een andere kunt hebben.
Vergeef zoals de Heer u heeft vergeven. "

Kolossenzen 3:12-13

Jehovah geef dat ik voldoende geduld kan opbrengen
om zachtaardig door dit leven te gaan
en om rustig alles tegemoet te gaan.

Thoughts
Phil Ware    Out of the ashes of Jerusalem's destruction and the disaster that befell God's people because of their repeated disobedience comes this reminder of truth. Those who wait patiently, who hope fervently, in the LORD will find what their souls most needs!

Prayer
    Give me patience and faith, O God, for the times when life is hard and everything seems to go against me. I believe that you are good to those who have the strength to persevere, waiting patiently in hope for your mighty deliverance. Dear Father, please give me such strength each day because I not only want to receive your blessing, but I also want to bring you honor. In the name of your Son, Jesus, I pray. Amen.

Beter het einde van iets dan het begin

“Beter iets aan het einde beoordelen dan aan het begin, beter geduldig zijn dan verwaand.” (Pre 7:8 WV78) 
 
Soms is het niet makkelijk om het geduld op te brengen om na te gaan hoe dat alles verloopt, en krijgen sommigen de zin om zaken reeds voor bekeken te beschouwen of als onhaalbaar voor deze zich zelf hebben kunnen bewijzen.
Anderen voelen zich makkelijk aangevallen als hun lopende activiteiten bekritiseerd worden.
Zij voelen zich makkelijk aangevallen als hun werk beoordeeld wordt. Dit kan zo ver gaan dat zij ofwel die activiteiten stoppen of dat zij in het tegenoffensief gaan.
 
Voor de maatschappij kan iets lichtzinnig of absurd lijken. Indien wij geestelijk werk verrichten zullen wij dikwijls op een muur van onbegrip botsen en moeten horen dat onze plannen onhaalbaar zijn.
Omtrent dit alles kunnen wij dan best onze kalmte bewaren, ons niet te druk maken, en toch proberen goed te luisteren wat die anderen te zeggen hebben en goed na te gaan waar zij juist zijn in hun denken en waar zij ons richtingen kunnen aangeven, zonder dat zij het misschien zelf beseffen. Het inzicht in de Heilige Schrift en onze betrachtingen na te gaan hoe deze maatschappij draait zullen ons mogelijkheden doen vinden om wijs te handelen en toch te slagen.
 
In al het werk dat wij willen gaan verrichten moeten wij er zorg voor dragen dat wij onze naam steeds zuiver houden en geen kans geven om er een smet op te laten komen. (Pre 7:1)
Steeds moeten wij er blijven aan denken dat wij het goede voorbeeld moeten geven en verdraagzaam de kritiek zullen moeten kunnen weerstaan (Efe 4:2). Vol deemoed, mildheid, zachtheid, vriendelijkheid, ingetogenheid en zelfbeheersing moeten wij trachten vredevol en geduldig, welwillend en trouw verder vooruit te gaan in ons leven zo als God het wil en met de betrachting Gods Maatstaven na te leven en het werk te verrichten dat Hij volbracht zou willen zien.
 
Iets dat wij hebben kunnen voleindigen zal steeds beter zijn dan deze dingen die worden aangevangen maar nooit tot een einde komen.
 
 (Spreuken 7:9; 19:11;Prediker 7:8-9; Jakobus 1:19)
