Tienergebed

Here,

Die wêreld is so anders noudat ek ‘n tiener is.

Dit voel vir my asof niemand meer dieselfde is nie – ék ook nie.

Dit is asof niemand my verstaan nie –

soms verstaan ek myself nie eens nie!

Ek wens dat ek vir altyd klein kon bly.

Tog sien ek ook uit na die grootmenswêreld wat wink.

Ek is soms verward en hartseer – en net die volgende

oomblik weer seker van myself en gelukkig.

Ek is bang vir die nuwe, onbekende dinge en

emosies wat op my afstorm.

Help my tog, Here!

Dankie dat ek kan weet:  Met U by my, kan ek my

lewenspad met vertroue loop.

Amen

God bly altyd dieselfde

God bly altyd dieselfde

Lees Hebreërs 13:7-9

“Jesus Christus is gister en vandag dieselfde en tot in ewigheid”  (Heb. 13:8)

Jy leef in ‘n wêreld vol tegnologiese wonders – selfone, MXit, GPS, Facebook, DStv, noem maar op.  Hierdie tegnologiese wonders verstom jou die een dag, en net die volgende dag word dit vervang met iets nuuts, iets wat nog meer verstommend is.  Daarom is die waarheid waaraan Hebreërs jou herinner dalk vir jou baie vreemd: “Jesus Christus is gister en vandag dieselfde en tot in ewigheid”  (Heb. 13:8).  Maar dit is ‘n waarheid waaraan jy in hierdie nuwe jaar kan vashou:  Die Here sal nooit uitgedien raak soos ‘n tegnologiese wonder nie.  Jy sal altyd op Hom kan staatmaak.

Miskien hou die nuwe jaar vir jou baie veranderings in.  Dalk gaan julle trek, of miskien gaan jy universiteit, kollege of hoërskool toe.  Dalk maak dit jou bang om te dink aan al die nuwe en vreemde dinge wat ‘n nuwe jaar kan bring.  Of miskien is jy opgewonde oor nuwe ontdekkings wat jy kan maak.  Onthou net elke dag:  Jy kan  ALTYD op God vertrou.  Hy sal jou vanjaar lei en help, net soos verlede jaar en ook die jare wat nog kom.

Maak ‘n lys van alles wat vanjaar in jou lewe kan verander.  Maak dit jou bang?  Maak dit jou opgewonde?  Onthou dan:  Jou God bly altyd dieselfde.  Jy kan op Hom te alle tye vertrou.

Here Jesus, baie dankie dat U nooit verander soos al my tegnologiese gadgets nie.  Dankie dat ek aan die begin van hierdie nuwe jaar kan vra dat U my hand sal vat en my elke dag sal lei, net soos in die verlede.  Amen

Jy behoort aan JESUS ♡

Jy behoort aan Jesus

Vandat jy jou hart

vir Jesus gegee het,

behoort jy nie meer

aan jouself nie.

Jy behoort nou aan God,

en die Heilige Gees woon in jou.

‘Of besef julle nie dat julle liggaam

‘n tempel van die Heilige Gees is nie?

Julle het die Heilige Gees, wat in julle

woon, van God ontvang, en julle

behoort nie aan julleself nie:  Julle is

gekoop, en die prys is betaal.  Julle moet

God dus in julle liggaam verheerlik.’

1 Korintiërs 6:19-20

The Girl in the Pink Dress

The Girl in the Pink Dress

Here's a fictional story that illustrates a very important point about God's protection over us.

There was this little girl sitting by herself in the park. Everyone passed by her and never stopped to see why she looked so sad. Dressed in a worn pink dress, barefoot and dirty, the girl just sat and watched the people go by. She never tried to speak. She never said a word. Many people passed by her, but no one would stop.

The next day I decided to go back to the park in curiosity to see if the little girl would still be there. Yes, she was there, right in the very spot where she was yesterday, and still with the same sad look in her eyes.

Today I was to make my own move and walk over to the little girl. For as we all know, a park full of strange people is not a place for young children to play alone. As I got closer I could see the back of the little girl's dress was grotesquely shaped. I figured that was the reason people just passed by and made no effort to speak to her.

As I got closer, the little girl lowered her eyes slightly to avoid my intent stare. As I approached her, I could see the shape of her back more clearly. She was grotesquely shaped in a humped-over form.

I smiled to let her know it was OK; I was there to help, to talk. I sat down beside her and opened with a simple, "Hello." The little girl acted shocked, and stammered a "hi," after a long stare into my eyes. I smiled and she shyly smiled back.

We talked until darkness fell and the park was completely empty. I asked the girl why she was so sad. The little girl looked at me with a sad face said, "Because I'm different." I immediately said, "That you are!" and smiled. The little girl acted even sadder and said, "I know."

"Little girl," I said, "you remind me of an angel, sweet and innocent." She looked at me and smiled, then slowly she got to her feet and said, "Really?"

"Yes, you're like a little Guardian Angel sent to watch over all those people walking by." She nodded her head yes, and smiled. With that she opened the back of her pink dress and allowed her wings to spread, then she said "I am. I'm your Guardian Angel," with a twinkle in her eye. I was speechless -- sure I was seeing things.

She said, "For once you thought of someone other than yourself. My job here is done."

I got to my feet and said, "Wait, why did no one stop to help an angel?" She looked at me, smiled, and said, "You are the only one that could see me," and then she was gone. And with that, my life was changed dramatically. So, when you think you're all you have, remember, your angel is always watching over you.
