Humbled- The broken kind.

By -
I have had a tough couple of weeks. Mainly self-inflicted .God responded with some swift discipline and broke me. But I asked Him too. I repeated this prayer to him early last month from psalm 32:9;

'Lead me like the mule if You have too!' and the passage for that is from is below.

"I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
"I will guide you with My eye. Do not be like the horse or like the mule,
Which have no understanding" 

So he did just that, led me like a mule, but because He cares so much for me. But it did brake me. 


But I am sitting here in His presence tonight praising Him and knowing He loves me. The Lord disciplines those He loves. The great thing is I actually trust His correction. It’s tough and I am a stubborn mule! But I will soon be meek after God is done with me.  
This is what I believe I heard him say to me tonight after I said “why do I need to be broken so much?” His response:
“I broke myself so that people could know My love for them. Don’t be ashamed. You broke for a reason.”

I love my Dad. And that’s how I feel about Him now, He’s my dad who does all dad stuff with me. Has fun with me, corrects me, and gives me advice, tells me much He loves me, lets me go to work with Him and gives me heaps of things to do.

So thank you Jesus for loving me so much and being broken on that cross.


12 Anyone who meets a testing challenge head-on and manages to stick it out is mighty fortunate. For such persons loyally in love with God, the reward is life and more life.” James 1.

Santa v Jesus.

By -
It's Christmas time. When Santa decides if you get something good depending on whether you have been naughty or nice...... I read an article recently, titled " 10 men Christian women should never marry " on a friends Facebook page and was relieved that my wife did not read this before she married me. If there is one thing I know for sure it's that I did not deserve a woman like my wife. She is a believer and loves Jesus. She has been picky and protective over herself about which men to date and not to date. She is everything and more that I asked God for in a woman. She looks after me and loves me to the max, always doing things for me and thinking of how to bless me in our marriage.

This is your moment.

 God has always shown me a picture (it is a picture to illustrate only) of Him in heaven before I was born and he is getting me off the shelf to put me on earth. He looks at the shelf which has a lot of other people on it and asks Himself “'What does the world need now? Ah Ha! What I created in Jay. He has in him what the world needs”.  And He picks me off the shelf and puts me in the womb.  You have been created and hand-picked for this moment. God cares so much for the people you meet and know that He sent you to make a difference in this world. You are made for this time. He chose you to dwell in. He is not far from you, He is so close. He lives in you. You are made for this moment. Don't hold back. Psalm 139:14The Message (MSG)   and Jeremiah 1:5, Eph 1:4 13-16  Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out;     you formed me in my mother’s womb. I thank you, High God—you’re breathtaking!    ...

“When you’re tempted to give up, I choose love.” I heard this song today. It had the above line in it. It really hit home for me. The song was about someone who was at the end of their rope. Had enough. Couldn’t do life any more.   And the singer is saying choose love when you’re wanting to give up. This perplexed me a little. On one hand the person wanting to give up is saying ‘I cant do anything more with my life.’ And the singer is saying, ‘make one more choice, choose….. Love.’ This meant a lot to me as I wanted to give up myself on my dreams and aspirations. As I heard this, the picture I got was of me falling back into God’s arms and relaxing.   I thought ‘That’s strange’. We are so ‘works’ based as the human race. Do, do, do. To get love, do something. Well today I choose to let go of doing. My Father in Heaven is just that, He’s my Father. He loves me so much. He will never stop loving me because I loose my faith in my own abilities. This was the s...
