“You are a Very Important Person to us.”

“Pagani” (Women’s Fashion) says to every lady: “Join our VIP. You are a Very Important Person to us. See inside for details.”

I am in the possession of a McDonald’s VIP Card 2011. I get things cheaper with this card. For example: I receive a free Standard Coffee with any Standard Muffin purchased.

At the end of  the day, at the end of your life, it does not really matter if Pagani or McDonald says to you: “You are a very important person to us.”  But what really matters is what the Eternal says to to you.

I rejoice that God says to me: You are very important to me. How do I know that the Lord Jesus Christ says that to me?

Listen to what I read in His Word, the Bible! I have blessed you. I have chosen you. I have predestinated you. I have made you accepted. I have abounded towards you in all wisdom and prudence. I have made known unto you the mystery of my will.

You find all this in the New Testament in Paul’s letter to the Ephesians.

And at the beginning of Psalm 139 in the Bible it says:

I know when you sit down. I know when you get up. I know all your thoughts from afar. And there is more! Read it in Psalm 139!

I feel very important in my relationship to the Lord Jesus Christ! I feel very special!

What a Surprise!

One of the three buddhist priests from Thailand I spotted today at Lynn Mall in Auckland/NZ recognised me again. I did not!

But what really surprised me was that he remembered my name, my thai name Winai.

(I used to work as a missionary in Thailand from 1966-1979)

THE CROSS-STITCH

There are only two kinds of people on this earth. There are those who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and there are those who do not believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.

I am not surprised that the life of the unbeliever looks like the cross-stitch below:

A cross-stitch from the wrong side

Are you a believer on the Lord Jesus Christ? Are you a true follower of the Lord Jesus Christ?

Do you think that your life looks at times like the cross-stitch above?

Please remember: 

 “The God of eternity is the God of every hour and minute for the believer in Jesus Christ!”

The same cross-stitch from the right side:

“MOST OF OUR PROBLEMS CAN ONLY BE UNDERSTOOD IN THE LIGHT OF ETERNITY.”
