Swaarkry help my

Courage is more exhilarating than fear and in the long run it is easier. We do not have to become heroes overnight. Just a step at a time, meeting each thing that comes up, seeing it is not as dreadful as it appeared, discovering we have the strength to stare it down.– Eleanor Roosevelt

 

Swaarkry help my

Voordat ek swaargekry het, het ek gedwaal, maar nou hou ek my aan u woord (Psalm 119:67)

Dit is vir my goed dat ek swaargekry het, want daardeur het ek u voorskrifte geleer (Psalm 119:71)

Dit is verbasend dat baie Christene glo dat Christus sy volgelinge teen swaarkry sal beskerm.

Die wêreld vandag

I saw that the meaning of life was to make a living, 
its goal to become a councilor, 
that the rich delight of love was to acquire a well-to-do girl, 
that the blessedness of friendship was to help each other in financial difficulties, 
that wisdom was whatever the majority assumed it to be, 
that enthusiasm was to give a speech, 
that courage was to risk being fined ten dollars, 
that cordiality was to say “May it do you good” after a meal, 
that piety was to go to communion once a year. 
This I saw, 
and I laughed. 

–Søren Kierkegaard

Koinonia: Verbondenheid met God

You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor – Aristoteles

Koinonia: Verbondenheid met God

Net een ding het ek van die Here gevra en dit sal ek najaag: dat ek my hele lewe lank in sy huis mag woon om sy goedheid te belewe en daaroor na te dink in sy tempel (Psalm 27:4).

Al wat ek wens, is om Christus te ken (Filippense 3:10).
