I SAY THE WORD

Dear Lovely Reader, MAY this month be full of goodness for you in all areas of your life! I’m especially hoping this season we will see our hopes fulfilled! Hope is one of the main foundations to living life alongside faith and love. We can’t touch hope, but we feel it inside of us. Something I’ve learnt overtime is that hope is deeper than a feeling, it’s a confident knowing/expectation of a positive outcome. It is important to feel hopeful, but the reality is that we won’t every day. We all from time to time have bad days or we find ourselves in a rut and hope is the farthest…

Dear Lovely Reader, Happy April, I hope this month will be filled with an overflow of blessings in your life! Today I want to share with you a simple note of encouragement. This morning I remember praying aloud – “Lord help me to keep rolling in faith”. Afterwards I was thinking hmmm – that’s not really a phrase I’ve heard before. This thought has led me to an interesting take on going through the motions of life that I’d love to share with you! A simple definition of rolling thanks to Oxford Languages is: moving by turning over and over on an axis. I guess some could say we all…

Dear Lovely Reader, I hope you are keeping well. As we are in the last few days of this month, I wanted to end this month with tips on how to ARISE and SHINE. I do think it is important to speak affirmations to uplift yourself, however words alone are not enough. Just like the word says, “Faith without works is dead” (James 2:20), so we need action alongside our faith. Normally we arise from a low position to a high position.   We arise out of ruins, we arise out of disappointments, we arise out of depression, we arise from heartache, we arise from failure. Since everything we go…

Dear Lovely Reader, Happy New Month! I hope March will bring you lots of joy! This is a month I hope we will see a positive change in our personal lives and on a global scale. Before the positive change manifests in our lives, we have to be ready mentally to receive the physical blessing. Here is a proclamation I’ve put together. Say it aloud as you read 🙂 I am chosen, fearfully and wonderfully made      I am a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord          I am blessed in all the works of my hands             I am the lender and not the borrower I…

Dear lovely reader, I hope this post finds you well and happy. Thankful that you and I have made it to the second month of 2021! I hope you all are achieving your dreams and goals day by day. With still a lot uncertainty at the moment, some of us may still be feeling weary and beat down by the despair of 2020. Today I want to encourage you. Whatever situation you are facing please continue to remain hopeful! I came across this the other day and thought how true this is: “Hope deferred makes the heart sick” – Proverbs 13:12 A lot of us including myself are waiting on…

Dear Lovely Reader, Happy New Year! I hope this year brings you peace and joy everlasting. I’m thankful that you and I have made it to another year! After a difficult 2020, a lot of us are looking forward to what this year will bring! With forecasts in the media flying about and uncertainty in the economic sphere, we really need a strong foundation to stand on and start 2021. A verse I love to revisit at this time of year: “Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time” – Habakkuk 2:2-3 This…

December 31 2020, we have made it to day 365/365. To God be the glory. Throughout this year, I have come to learn and know in my heart deeply more than ever before that God’s word and His nature is unchanging. Through all the uncertainty and affliction, through the darkness…. I always saw the light of God – Jesus Christ. Thank you Lord for the affliction and pain, for you revealed yourself greater to me than ever before. I learnt to not just sing “I trust you and love you” but to actually put every word into practice and mean it from the depths of my heart and soul. I…

Dear Lovely Reader, I hope this post finds you well and at peace. Continuing on the journey of knowing WHO WE ARE by loving God. The next step is to: Tip 3: Love the Lord God with all your soul By loving God with our hearts and minds, we are aligning our inner person to the standards of God’s love, mercy, grace, righteousness, justice, peace and hope. As these standards form within us, goodness (an upright heart and life) which is the root of good character continues to develop. This is the best as it withstands any situation forever. When we choose to love the lord with our soul, goodness…

Dear Lovely Reader, Hope you’re well 😊 Continuing on from the last post October Word of The Month – Who You Are – Part 1 , here is the second tip for building good character. Tip 2: Love the Lord your God with all your mind  This is choosing to make the conscious daily effort to surrender our thoughts/thought pattern to be in agreement with Biblical principles and standards. Our thoughts can either be dominated by our carnal nature or the spirit of God. Carnality is the passions and desires of our flesh (human body and mind). This includes: lusts of the flesh – sin and sexual immorality, materialistic obsessions,…

Dear Lovely Reader, I hope you are well and I thank God for your life. We’re into the last quarter of the year and I pray that you will end 2020 in joy. In the midst of global trouble, a lot of us may have questioned our identity and purpose. Our reaction and response to personal and world events has either strengthened or dampened self-worth. A lot of things we have placed our self-worth and security in have been shaken. When we are stripped of security and placed in adversity, the one thing left is character. It is important that we do not place our value in job positions, educational…
