Make room for Jesus...

Good Day Everyone, its been a very chilled day for me, I am home with my baby girl Sai giving her some TLC. I was just thinking earlier how easy it is to get discouraged when we are facing all sorts of trouble like job loss, late payments of salaries, kids going astray, a broken relationship between husband and wife, a loss of a loved one the list is endless. How often in the midst of all our troubles do we actually just call on the name of Jesus for 'help' instead of questioning God about our 'troubles' (it is a norm) however for our circumstances to change we got to stop doing the same things, we have to step out on the water, and reach out to Jesus, knowing that He will keep us from sinking.

I am reminded of David, how when he was discouraged he encouraged himself in the Lord. We have the Bible and that's God's word and it has so much comfort and promises for us. Today is a good day to Embrace His Word. When Jesus was tempted in the desert by the devil, He fought the devil off with the Word of God, we are weaponless if we do not use our Bible effectively.

So when you are discouraged, take courage knowing that Jesus is with you (Hebrews 13:5) and His word is our encouragement, meditate on it day and night so that your path is secure in Him. Stop running to friends and family first with your 'troubles' and take it first to God, know Him in your troubles, cast your care upon Him for He will sustain you; He will never permit the righteous to be moved(Psalm 55:22). I know many of us need to hear this Word today, people will disappoint you but God never will. Know Him in your circumstance whatever it may be, no matter how big or how small.

Stay blessed and remember God Loves You!!
In His Love, Zenneline Louw

We are so used to...

We are so used to allowing our current circumstances consume us, we lament we groan and moan and we are often so confused as to what the next step must be that we should take. The groaning and moaning of How unfair this is, Why is this happening to me? What did I do to deserve this? Etc and we find people to complain to but we do nothing about our situations. We then use our situations to fall in abuse of substances and we even turn to other things we never thought we were capable of…because we are so vulnerable and the enemy will use that vulnerability to his advantage. We worry about what this one is going to say. How is it going to look to others? I won’t be able to do this and that? My question to you is, can you afford not to walk away? These are the thoughts that keep us captive. In Hosea 4:6 God reminds us that my people perish through lack of knowledge. So surely when you know better you should do better, right? Look we are all at different spaces in our lives but ...

It's OKAY not be OKAY...

TODAY is one of those days I don't allow myself to have many of... A day where I am extremely emotional and teary and life seems to have gotten the better of me just for today. I don't tend to dwell on my negatives I am known to be the optimistic one and always positive however today I am far from that. I allow myself to be in this space because in this moments of being emotional and allowing myself to cry because they say tears are healing waters. I am very much aware of my surroundings and giving myself this space to just process every disappointment and whatever else I am dealing with. A close friend and mentor of mine told me a few months ago that I should learn to unpack things as they happen and not bottle it all up and then I explode when things just get too much. As a mother, wife and whatever else I am to whoever it all just got too much. Have you ever gotten to a point where you question "Why?" "Why do I even bother talking non stop with my k...

No one is always busy...

Such truth in this picture. I saw this picture message on a page I follow on Facebook and it made me think and reflect and I shared it on my page but I didn't elaborate at the time because I was still filled with negative emotions. Then this morning a friend of mine shared it on her page and these are my thoughts about this and I am referring to friendships/relationships with family and just relationships in general. So please allow me to express myself.. What is most difficult to comprehend is that we allow people to have so much space in our lives and they give so little of their time to us...It hurts immensely when you know how committed you are to certain friendships/relationships and you get absolutely the bare minimum and that fact is what is making me walk away from many. Zainonesha had this to say about it " So true...then one has to settle with lame excuses as if our lives are depending on it. Be Honest I would say" Yes I understand that we are all in dif...
