SHARING A FEW NEW SPIRITUAL "TORTS" ON FAITH (PART TWO)
These are some notes (in point form) on "airey-fairey spiritual matters" and on faith, many from from authors unknown, that I've collected* and jotted down over the years in my little "Spiritual" note books. I have also included a few miscellaneous (big word that) thoughts on other matters, like writing and South Africa (still "the beloved country" - at least to me!). Hope these words may be as encouraging, uplifting, empowering...and perhaps even "inspiring" to you as they are to me. So am sharing. Enjoy

THOUGHTS ON JESUS
The message of Christmas
Christ beside us. The Holy Spirit within us.
Lord
Jesus
Cleanse me
heal me
forgive me
Jesus revealed himself most clearly by being human (as a human being)
The Son is radiating God's Glory, as an expression (manifestation) of His being.
Jesus is an incarnation of God.
Through Jesus we realise our true humanity
Jesus is my path, my doorway to that God; because that is my experience, my reality. Jesus makes God real to me (and within me).

Discover the Christ within you.
Jesus's purpose was to seek and save the lost (even till death). There is a divine purpose for which we are ALL created.
Each ONE of us can tap into the spark of the divine... which gives us joy and a sense of fulfilment.
Salvation lies within us
Jesus spoke about the nature of real power.
Message of Christmas. Christ's story brings hope to the human soul.
Lord
Fill me with knowledge of Your will. Show me Your glory.
The journey is the reward
empower
stories of HOPE
just write.
"The tyranny of distance"
There are no borders, only horizons
We are the mosaic of life
"We are not just products of our conditioning.
What you have been is not as important as what you can become (and choose to become)."
- Tony Campalo
We are more moulded by the future than by the past.
Make a difference.
Need a rebirth of vision, a rebirth of dreams
You are as young as your dreams.
*
look on each other with love and peace
nurture and encourage others
be innocent and trusting
pray differently
get together
bring new insight
revelation
Go with it
Don't get stuck
Ask yourself this question:
What daily action will I take to reinforce my beliefs?
Define a new way of living
* self reflection
* love/compassion
* self growth
Say: "I am stronger than my fears"
choose inner strength
"a sacrificial angel"
You'll never walk alone when you have hope in the heart
- signage (slogan) at Liverpool football stadium
I work for human rights for all.
Mother Teresa: "I want to belong to God."
God's strategy is people - working in and through us.
It's our life through which God works.
Working with God
* God's plans
* God's agenda
* His energy
I want to be an instrument of Your love.
Not my will, but Thy Will be done.
Make God as big as you can.
God's delays are not God's denials.
"You can never succeed without forgiveness. With forgiveness comes atonement."
"Forgiveness removes fear."
- Nelson Mandela
vulnerability
"The older I get, the simpler my faith gets."
"One man will read the Bible; whereas one hundred will read the person's life (the Christian's)."
- Dwight Moodie
I want to hear the heart of God today.
"Faith is the light that guides you through the darkness."
- Emmet Fox
May you see God's light on the road up ahead.
Shine a light in the darkness.
