THE CROSS
“Jesus went

When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, …”
People are walking from one end of New Zealand to the other; from Bluff to Cape Reinga. The walk is 2244 km long and can be done in 66 days, I am reading in the paper today.
I have never been to BLUFF, but I have been to CAPE REINGA. Cape Reinga is not very far from Kaitaia, where I live.
CAPE REINGA

“Then he said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.'” – Matthew 9:37,38
“I LOVE KAITAIA”
“I love Kaitaia,” because of all the people who are coming into town. Only today I talked to a young man from Germany, who is a fundraiser for Barnardo.
Some children have done a lot of reading to be eligible for a FREE LUNCH, a Pizza.
“ALL LEADERS ARE READERS”
The Hell Pizza caravan at the KAITAIA LIBRARY (Te Ahu) on Tuesday (27. 09. 16)
On my first visit to the new coffee shop here in Kaitaia I saw the following written on the wall:
“H. O. P. E.
hold on, pain ends”
But only on the second visit I caught on to the real meaning of the writing.
I am sure you are quicker to catch on.
“Spring into a good book.”
That encouragement I saw yesterday when visiting out local library. For those who don’t know, September is the first month of spring in New Zealand.
SOVEREIGN GRACE by D. L. Moody
Also a bookmark at the library caught my eye. “This bookmark belongs to – name – SUPER READER!”
Not that I need to go into the library to “spring into a good book.” I have so many good books in my own library. Some of them I have not even read properly. But that is alright.
I love books and only recently I finished sorting them according to authors. They are now easier to find
I must say it again that a good number of my good books were bought second-hand and very cheap.
One of them is Sovereign grace by D.L. Moody. What a treasure and I bought it for 50 cents.
“By grace are ye saved,” it says on one of the first pages of the book. We find that verse in Ephesians 2:8 in the Bible.
The book I really love is the Bible.
Some time ago I looked up “GOOD BOOK” in The Collins Concise Dictionary and there it says that “GOOD BOOK” is “a name for the Bible.”
Who wants to be a “SUPER READER” of the Bible?
I do! I hope you do too!
There are messages from people and there are messages from God.
MESSAGES FROM PEOPLE.
Messages from people are often lies.
MESSAGES FROM THE LORD.
Messages from the Lord are always the truth.
To which messages are we listening?
