“The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one.”– Mark Twain

I am looking at a calendar from Paper PLus Kaitaia and I am reading,”Paper Plus–My Books. My stationary. My store.” ( I wish, it would be My store, but it is not, as you well know)

Every morning I am reading from CH Spurgeon “Morning and Evening” and today (21.04 08) the Reading is from Job 19:25 Spurgeon starts with “The marrow of Job’s comfort lies in the little word “MY”– “My Redeemer,” and in the fact that the Redeemer lives.

And of course I do not really want to say,”My store.” But Iam glad, that I can say,”My Redeemer.”–“MY REDEEMER LIVES!”

CAN YOU SAY THAT?

Went for a ride to the Kauri Kingdom today and found this information:

I received today the Autumn 08 “WESTPAC WORD.” At the top it also says, “Westpac Making the most of life.”

In one of the articles in the Autumn 08 issue somebody is congratulating Westpac for crossing out the word “Retirement” and subsitituting it with “the time of your life.”

And I am actually having the time of my life. But I am only having the time of my life, because I know the Lord Jesus Christ as my personal Saviour. Do you? First John 5:13

Not what we are giving to the Lord makes us poor, but what we are keeping back.

To believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died is history, but to believe that he died for ME is redemption.

Gottes ewige Liebe ist die Quelle unseres ewigen Lebens.

Nicht was wir Gott geben macht uns arm, sondern was wir zurueckbehalten.

Das Kreuz Christi offenbart die Suende des Menschen auf die schlimmste Art und Gottes Liebe auf die beste Art.

Zu glauben, dass Christus gestorben ist– das ist Geschichte; zu glauben, dass Christus fuer m i c h gestorben ist– das ist Erloesung.

Jesus nachzufolgen kostet mehr als alles. Nur, Ihm nicht nachzufolgen ist noch teurer.
