Where do I begin ?? 

I've been blessed with a hand full of diamonds today. I really want to share all of them with you but then I'll have to write a book in one day. I've been busy reading and watching numerous DVDs and other stories on TV. In short I think I've been feeding myself spiritually.

Needless to say, I must share this one diamond with you today.

 My diamond for today will have to be Samuel. 

No questions asked. Samuel is one of the books in the Bible I've been called to read lately. And what a blessing it turned out to be. As a child you always hear this Bible stories. I however never got the meaning of the stories. To me it was like history. Boring, boring, boring ... and I definitely didn't like it.

At this moment in my life - I can truly say I am a changed person. 

I know this because at this moment I'm reading Samuel and every chapter is making sense. God is speaking to me so clearly threw this book and everything that happened. At this moment this book is far from a boring history lesson - it finally came alive to me. 

I think the thing I want to tell you today is that, everyone of us is always in the process of growing. We are growing physically, financially and emotionally. When you are a kid you listen to everything everybody tells you and some of it make sense and other things doesn't. But - there is no need to punish yourself if you aren't on  the same level as other people. You might think it is bad to be behind in some areas, but it isn't. 

You see I've just come to realise that when you reach a point where you think you know enough and you aren't reading or aspiring to know more, there is something seriously wrong. God will always be there. He will always try to reach you and to teach you and guide you towards knowing more. To making sense out of everything. Part of being a child of God is to always be growing. He will always find something new to show you in his Word. You must just learn to trust Him to open your spiritual eyes and to hear his voice. 

I always felt I wasn't a big enough Christian for everybody else to share their stories with me. I always thought I was behind and that everybody else was better Christians than me. What a laughable way to feel. At this moment I want to kick myself for being so silly. Did I let other people make me feel like I'm not good enough ?? That I'm not worthy ?? That my faith wasn't enough ?? You might laugh at me too for thinking this way, but I did. And you know what - I'm not proud of the way I was thinking - but this is exactly my point. We all are in the process of growing. Luckily for me my eyes were opened and God sent people my way to show me my mistakes. I really hope that He will sent someone your way too.

At this moment I know God is with me every step of the way.

 He is guiding me threw this process of growing.

I really hope that, when something in the Bible doesn't make sense to you, that you don't give up trying to understand. I really hope that you wouldn't feel unworthy or stupid or even dumb. I hope that you will be patient and trust God for threw His wisdom every book in the Bible will come to life for you too. When the time is right He will open your eyes too, and then you will understand !!!

The most important thing as I've learnt today is that you fill yourself with God, that you read your Bible and that you spend time with God. Pray to Him and praise Him in whichever way you feel comfortable. He is your Dad. Nobody can judge you or tell you what is right or wrong. Talk to God whenever you want to and believe that your faith is good enough. Don't let anybody make you feel unworthy of God's love.

God loves us all equally. 

Just open your heart to Him and let Him in !!! He is knocking !!! Open the door !!!

Don't be the fool I've been..... !!!!

Remember - God wants us to have fun, doing what He wants us to do, on our way to heaven !!!
