Reach out – Reach for your Dreams…

By Sodwana Bay

Galatians 5:13 If You Want to Succeed, Reach Out You won’t succeed in life unless you are connected to the right people.. and those who enable you to succeed won’t always come to you; usually you must go to them. Success won’t come knocking on your door; you’ve got to go and find it. Jesus…


Time with Jesus

By Sodwana Bay

TIME WITH JESUS “Jesus did not want anyone to know where they were, because he was teaching his disciples… But they did not understand what he meant and were afraid to ask him about it.” (Mark 9:30b, 32) Jesus really wants to teach you about Himself. In quiet, one-on-one time with you, He will teach you who He is and who you are. He will teach you things you praise God for, and He will teach you things you don’t understand. At times, He will teach you the same lesson over and over until you understand it. Some lessons you’ll be afraid of because they are things you don’t want to hear. Some of the things you learn about Him may cause you to fear, but His perfect grace will wash over fear more and more as you come to know Him deeply. Jesus’ disciples who walked side by side with Him during His years of ministry were often confounded by Jesus’ words and ways. But as they continued faithfully with Him, they began to see that even in their doubts and fears, they had to remain with Him. Who else would they go to? For, as Peter said, “you have the words of eternal life” (John 6:68). Always tell Him your fears and concerns, revealing what is in your heart. When they are in the open, He will use them to teach you. Source: Anchor Devotional – Time with Jesus Originally posted 2015-08-21 08:10:01.


Your Purpose

By Sodwana Bay

YOUR PURPOSE? “For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it.” (Matthew 16:25) Why do you go on living? At some point each one of us has considered and wondered about our purpose in life. Does my life even have purpose? And in that purpose, do I matter? On days when I feel my lowest, my thoughts wander, tempting me to think that I have no purpose at all. Yet, in Christ, we always have a purpose. There is always meaningfulness and excitement in one form or another when we follow Jesus. Left to our own desires, our purposes fail us. We may desire recognition, success, or popularity. Many of us are searching for acceptance. We find that even when achieved, the satisfaction we derive from these desires is hollow, and at best fleeting. There is only one true meaning and purpose in life, and His name is Jesus Christ. If you give your life to Him, you will find that He is your all in all, the very reason you can see His purposes in you even through the pains and agonies of this life. When you lose your life for Christ, you will indeed find it in Him, if not in this life, then surely in the next. Source: Anchor Devotional – Your Purpose Originally posted 2015-08-13 07:38:24.
