One of the hardest things to understand about Christianity is that we are saved by faith ….. not by works. We are so used to earning our way through life that the idea of receiving something free doesn’t sit right with us. On the other hand ….. there are some who accept the gift of salvation ….. but think they can live as they please. The balance is explained in this illustration. If the rower uses only one oar ….. he goes round in circles! If he uses both oars ….. he will get across the lake to his destination! ‘Faith without works is dead’. The works ….. or good things we do prove our faith. We don’t do them to earn our salvation ….. we do them out of gratitude for it.

How is your heart? Is it soft and pliable ….. or has it been hardened by the circumstances of life? No matter what state your heart is in ….. offer it to God. He is the Potter ….. we are the clay. If you are willing ….. He will take that hard heart in His wonderful hands and soften it. He will remove all the hard lumps ….. all the hurt and doubts ….. all the resentment and bitterness ….. and mould it into something beautiful and useful. When He has your heart ….. He has all of you!

There are 7.8 billion people on the planet ….. and yet no two are identical! Even ‘identical twins’ have some unique characteristics. And then ….. when you consider all those who have passed on since time began ….. the numbers are countless. Some would say there is no designer ….. we are all a product of an explosion. But everything in nature tells us otherwise! No two leaves are the same ….. no two blades of grass ….. no two flowers. What a Creator! The Bible calls us ‘living stones that God is building into His spiritual temple’. He wants to live in us! How amazing is that!

Hi! My name is Sue Wilson and I am a mother of three and grandmother of 10! My husband, Frank, and I have been Christians for 43 years. We pastored a church in Fiji and are now Pastor/Elders in our local church. One of my passions is Prayer/Counselling to help people deal with the lies of the devil so they can be who God created them to be.

 

A few years ago I felt God inspired me to write some short but encouraging messages on Facebook. Most of my inspiration comes while walking in nature ….. but also everyday life experiences! I hope you, too, will be encouraged. We live in uncertain but interesting times ….. and our faith will be tested. My aim is to help you see things through God’s eyes ….. and to be led by His Spirit in our everyday lives. I always welcome feedback and questions.

 

May God bless you on your journey
