  The Will of God “The Word became flesh and blood, and moved into the neighborhood....” ‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭14‬ ‭(The Message)                         "That’s why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good.” “I’m absolutely convinced that nothing - nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable - absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love.....” ‭‭ Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭28; 31‬-‭39‬ ‭(The Message)‬                     The Conversation Elements From The Conversation When we (George & Matilda) ponder on this subject and look at it from the perspective of our own experience, the overarching theme is that God is not far-off, way distant from where He manipulates and guides things. We take Jesus's message seriously - God is with you, in you. So intimately entwined that we cann...

  Die Wil Van God “Die Woord het mens geword en onder ons kom woon." Joh ‭1‬:‭14‬                                      “Ons weet dat God alles ten goede laat meewerk vir dié wat Hom liefhet.....” ‭‭ “Hiervan is ek oortuig: geen dood of lewe of engele of magte of teenswoordige of toekomstige dinge  of kragte of hoogte of diepte of enigiets anders in die skepping  kan ons van die liefde van God skei nie....” ‭‭Rom‬ ‭8‬:‭28; 38‬-‭39‬ ‭‬                         Die Gesprek Elemente Uit Die Gesprek Wanneer ons (George & Matilda) hierdie onderwerp bepeins en vanuit eie ervaring daarna kyk, is die oorheersende tema dat God nie vêr-weg is en van daar dinge manipuleer en stuur nie.  Dit is Jesus se boodskap - God is by julle, in julle. Só intiem vervleg dat ons nie geskei kan word nie.  Rainer Maria Rilke druk dit ...

  When I Pray Listen to my words, o Lord, and hear my sighs.                                         Ps 5:1 (GNBDC) In the same way the Spirit also comes to help us, weak as we are. For we do not know  how we ought to pray; the Spirit himself pleads with God for us in groans that words cannot express. And God, who sees into our hearts, knows what the thought of the Spirit is...                                                  Rom 8:26-27 (GNBDC) The Conversation Elements From The Conversation  "Powerlessness is our greatest treasure.  Don’t try to get rid of it. Everything in us wants to get rid if it.  Grace is sufficient for you, but not something you can understand.  To be in too big a hurry to get over our difficulties is a mistake...

  Wanneer Ek Bid Luister tog na my woorde, Here, hoor hoe ek sug.                                         Ps 5:2 Die Gees staan ons ook in ons swakheid by: ons weet nie wat en hoe ons behoort te bid nie,  maar die Gees self pleit vir ons met versugtinge wat nie met woorde gesê word nie. En God, wat die harte deurgrond, weet wat die bedoeling van die Gees is...                                                  Rom 8:26-27 Die Gesprek Elemente Uit Die Gesprek "Powerlessness is our greatest treasure.  Don’t try to get rid of it.
