What's that? There's a barrier in front of you? Oh Yay. Why not see it as an opportunity to come up with a creative solution? Can you open it? Can you walk through it? Walk over it?

What if the next opposition you faced was seen as an opportunity to grow? What if it was not going to stop you, but make you stronger?

You can overcome everything you face, because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

Is there some stuff in your life that you have just been trying to hold it together? Does it feel like you are constantly finding another leak, another broken wire, something else that has gone wrong?

You know when we get a wound there may be a time to put a band aid on it, to allow it time to be protected to prevent further damage, but then there comes a point when if we keep the band aid on it, it stops getting better and starts getting worse. I was thinking about this same thing when I saw this fence. Some of you may wonder at some of my stories an analogies and how I come up with such things, but because I have been around farms much of my life this is natural to me. The fence pictured here may have been okay to have one repair, but now it has so many repairs that is really needs to be renewed.

So I wonder if it is time to take the band aid of the issue, allow the wound to get some fresh air and let it heal, so it doesn't become infected and fester.

Are you living in the light or in the darkness? When we live in the light it means that all that stuff that was hidden gets exposed. Yes sometimes that is unpleasant and painful, but if stuff stays in the dark it grows bigger, gets mouldy and eventually causes more damage.

Are there areas of your life that need to be brought into the light? I'm not talking about telling the world about your problems, sure some of you may be called to share your testimony, but a wound is not a testimony until it is no longer a wound, but instead it is now a scar. So I am talking about bringing the hurts and stuff into the light so it can be dealt with and can hopefully over time go from being a wound to a healed scar and thus a testimony.

This may be something that is just between you and God or it may be something that you share with a close friend or family member or it may even be something that you choose to explore with a counsellor or other health professional. Admitting that you have stuff that needs to be dealt with is not a sign of weakness, but of courage.

Be courageous and face the though stuff, in a safe and loving environment, allowing the light to shine on it and healing to come to the wound over time, so that you can continue to grow.

Some say how long is a piece of sting; I say how long is a stick? Well no one knows, because it could be any length. So then it would seem to me to be a pretty silly thing to assume that one could decide that they are "not meeting the standards" expected by comparing themselves to someone else.

The reason I say this is because Jonny's life is not meant to be the same as yours and your life is not meant to be the same as Mary's. You are unique by design and so no matter of comparing and calculating and trying to become like someone else will ever get you to where you are meant to be. There is only one who is perfect and worth following; everyone else has their own walk and they are made for something special, just like you are.

If we spend our life trying to be like someone else we will never be the best version of us that we can be. You know, you might be the answer to someone else problem and if you don't learn to be you and grow into the best version of you, then you might be short changing the world of the gift of you and what you bring to it, that no one else could bring.

The answer to a world problem may be in you and no one else. The answer to your neighbour may be in you and no one else. Why not take the time to discover who you were made to be and stay connected to the one who made you, because he is the source of all life and with him you can become all you were made to be. 


Be you and keep growing. Don't be someone else. Let them be them and you be you, because the world needs you both. Doesn't mean you can't learn from someone else, but don't become a carbon copy of them.

Are you someone who, when you have been somewhere, people can see? Do you leave a mark where you go? Is that mark for good? Is it a mark that will leave a person built up or is it a mark that will leave them feeling torn down?
Think about these things. What makes you unique? What is the mark you leave? and when your time has come and gone, what is the legacy you want to be remembered by?
Who do you want to impact, what do you want to touch and how do you want to love?
Will you be someone who leaves your world a better place than when you came into it, because you decided to leave your unique mark.
Be a legacy creator for the glory of the creator.

Sometimes we don't know where the edge is and what lives on the other side of it. I wonder if maybe you have calculated, planned and tried to work it all out enough and whether it is time to just take a big step off the edge and embrace the adventure.

What if your next step was the one that unlock your tomorrow? What if your choice to do something different than you have always done meant that the results would be different than you have seen in the past?

We can either sit and watch everyone else achieve their dreams or take a step and achieve ours. What's stopping you?

​Does something in your life have the appearance of being good, while in fact it is like a weed. It is taking all the goodness from the soil of your life and in fact not beneficial at all.
What do you need to do to get rid of this weed? Keeping in mind that it might have big roots, which have developed over a long time of allowing things to take root in your heart and mind, like hurt, resentment, unforgiveness, pain, false guilt.
It might take some time for you to indentify the root issue, and this may need the help of a qualified counsellor or other mental health professional, but it will be worth it in the end. Yes it may be painful digging the root out and bringing to the surface things that have been buried for a long time, but it stays there it will only get stronger and likely impact your life in a big way, when eventually it seems bigger than all the healthy things in your life.
So I wonder if now is the time to take a step to get rid of the weeds and start planting and tending a crop of good plants in your life?
