From the Heart by B.Demaere

  You were created.   In Psalm 139:13 it says: For you created my inmost being;   you knit me together in my mother’s womb. Verse 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.   But do we know that full well?   We have each been created with careful precision, even with our defects and imperfections to serve a purpose in this dark world that we may shine our light with God’s help.   Some, might think in their frail state…” What a cruel God you speak of?   But I say: “Your attitude might change all that.”   Look at me now, for a long time I was prisoner of my own failure and mental illness.   My mental illness had become a crutch of self pity.   My suicidal thought fed the habit.   I needed Love and I was ready to do whatever it took.   God is Love and I already had him, but I wanted more.   All I had to do was to read my Bible and be quiet before him.   “Be still and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:

  Voracious appetite A lot of diets are happening these days.   We want to be trimmed for our summer looks.   We try to suppress our appetite and look at our neighbour waistline and wish ours was thinner.   We do exercise and work hard on our bodies or get discouraged by our friend’s   high expectations of us.   We just don’t measure up to society’s level of expertise.   Unfortunately, what I have described happens often. We look outward for solutions to our problems, but, we are being eaten up by envy from the inside.   What is eating you up?   Come on, let’s be real? Do you have friends or family members who are doing better than you in life?   How do you feel about them?   Is that envy eating you up?   There is so much envy in this world.   Nations at war with others, for what?   Families fighting amongst themselves, is that not envy?   What about divorces?   Envy and jealousy are such an ugly thing.   I am not talking about the jealousy that protects relationships.   What

    These are the Last Days   God has always been in the News.  He is God and he is in everything that concerns men and women, children.  He sees everything that is going on and I am sure there is a whole lot of head shaking in heaven.  God is not surprised he knew it all along.  We might be surprised, but everything is working out as he planned long time ago.  The nations are being lined up just like the planet would be.  There will be a New earth and a New heaven and Jesus Christ is coming back to take his true followers back home.  Nothing will be missing!  Everything will work out like a fine-tuned clock.   But what about you? There is certainly hope for you if you do exactly what God wants everyone to do.  That is so simple: Believe in his Only Son Jesus Christ. It sounds so simple and yet to many people it is so difficult because they find excuses not to love him. Jesus is the One who loved us first by dying on the Cross for each one of us.   He deserves our love.   God

  We are born expecting We live for short term hope for the next best thing that we hope will soothe us like a pacifier. Throughout life, we are given false hope over and over like in our next paycheque. Then the proverbial carrot is moved every inch further and we hope some more. It would be so much nicer if we could be richer and we buy a lottery ticket for luck as if luck was on our side. We find ourselves in a long tunnel that is life always told by too many people how our lives should be. We end up expecting less and less toward the end when we retire in a space that is getting smaller and smaller waiting for that something to happen when we will be maybe richer. Thinking that maybe we will experience some happy moments with people. All that we have left now is people to love until the end when the space becomes a box and to dust we return as a promise given to us long time ago. To dust we have returned no longer after anything or anyone. Except yes, for the one we h
