My beker loop oor, wanneer:

1. Ek genoeg lewensmiddele het vir een dag. In die Onse Vader-gebed bid ons “gee my vandag my daaglikse brood”, en dit beteken dat jy net genoeg moet hê vir een dag. As jy dus meer as dit het, stort jou beker soos 'n waterval oor sy kante.

2. Ek relatiewe goeie gesondheid geniet. Daar staan geskrywe: waar daar lewe is, is daar hoop. As jy dus, soos ek, gesond is, stort daai beker oor sy kante.

3. Ek goeie verhoudinge met mense het; met familie, vriende, werksmense, huweliksmaat, want dan beteken dit dat jy ondersteuning het in moeilike tye. Spr 17:17: Op 'n vriend se liefde kan jy altyd reken.

4. Ek die genade van geloof het, want dit is 'n gawe uit die hand van God. As jy in God glo, en in Jesus se versoeningswerk, dan maak dit vir jou die poorte van die hemel summier wyd oop.

5. God homself aan my openbaar. Hoe sou jy voel as Madiba jou vandag bel? Of Barak Obama? Of Bill Gates, Brad Pitt of Charlize Theron? Besef jy dat hulle ou oproepie NIKS is teen Hom wat alles in hierdie heelal geskep het nie. Hy wat elkeen van hierdie hooggeplaastes met Sy eie hande gevorm het! Wow, die grootste Een in die hele heelal, roep jou vandag. Openbaring 3:20: Kyk Ek staan by die deur en klop ...

6. Ek besef ek spring die kruis vry, want Jesus het dit klaar gedoen.

Vriend, jou beker loop oor ... glo dit, en leef so!

The Lord's Test ...

I woke up this morning

and knew that today,

The sun would not be shining

and the clouds would be grey!

As I stepped outside,

rain fell upon my head.

My car wouldn't start

so I walked to school instead.

I forgot all of my assignments

I failed all of my tests.

I dropped my head in disgust

and asked the Lord for one request.

"Lord, why is it that things

won't go my way?"!

He gently replied, "Dear child it

is because you didn't thank me yesterday.

I woke you up and enabled

you to see the sun again!

I gave you shelter,

protected your family,

and even let you make a new friend.

I blessed you far

greater than I ever had before.

But you were too busy

to thank me once more.

You didn't feel sick

because I maintained your health.

You had money in your pocket

because I maintained your wealth!

You had shoes on your feet

and clothes to wear, too.

You had plenty of food to eat,

and what did you do?

You ignored me and went

about your tasks.

But when you wanted something

you never hesitated to ask.

I was there when you needed me

and that wasn't too long ago.

But when things started going your way,

it was me you did not know.

As if that weren't enough,

I provided your favourite luxuries.

This was something I didn't have

to do, they weren't even necessities.

And when it was time to get on your

knees and show your gratitude.

You decided that after such a

fulfilling day, you weren't in the mood.

So I decided to

give you just a little test!

To show you how it would feel

to stop being blessed."

I began to realise what

the Lord was saying.

And when I got home, I fell

to my knees and started praying.

He said, "My child, you have

learned and you know I do forgive.

But remember to remember this day

as long as you shall live.

I love filling your life with joy,

and your pain I'll alleviate it.

But just a simple thank you

would show how much you appreciate it."
