I really appreciated the following reminder in particular: 'When we focus on the things that bother us, it shifts our focus off God and His purposes, and onto ourselves.' So helpful for me to hear this week in particular as I prepare to speak twice this coming Sunday! I hope you see much fruit in 2017, flowing from that refocussing you did last year.Jo-Anne Berthelsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09775045057529728396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-10971427878164058552017-01-16T16:45:37.027+10:002017-01-16T16:45:37.027+10:00Yes, He is so totally 'other'.

In the natural, we would put that time into working on that project, but somehow He changes the 'efficiency quotient'. There must be some physics term for this....

But it unravelled and I was left in a bit of a non-productive heap by year's end. <br /><br />God's been speaking to me lately about regaining my focus. Bill Hybels' book 'Simplify' has been a big help. If we can stay focused on God this year in the midst of problems and busyness, who knows what He can accomplish through us.

R.T Kendall describes our God as a jealous God - jealousy is often seen as a 'bad' trait, but in God it becomes beautiful. He wants our hearts and love so badly that He will remove other things from our lives so that He has our undivided attention - then He can lavish His love on us even more. He is incredibly focused! <br />He must be the originator of New Year Resolutions - bet He has more success in meeting them than some of us!!Pamela Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05720146129770770985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-87710624812411163402017-01-16T08:04:19.167+10:002017-01-16T08:04:19.167+10:00Great reflection Pamela. Thank you. I'm really...Great reflection Pamela. Thank you. I'm really sorry to hear about your travails with technology. 3 computers in 3 months? Wow! I do hope the current computer is working well? I loved this para in your blog "You see, our Father has a goal – to make us into the image of His Son, so that we reflect His holy and loving nature to the world. Our lives become the story of His goodness, mercy and power working through us. He will do whatever it takes to strip away anything that detracts from this goal of changing us to be like Him."<br /><br />Indeed - He's been revealing the truth of it to me too and the scales have been falling off about what's most important in my life. It's so encouraging to have it confirmed through your sharing.<br /><br />May we stay focussed on Him and on our calling and on those in our world who need Him. May He use our hearts and our words to bless the world. The very best to you in marketing your book in 2017 dear Pamela.Anusha Atukoralahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00859837228901127984noreply@blogger.com
