The wisdom of
New Zealand
In Memoriam
21 April 2023
I believe we're here to bring Heaven to earth. Part of the "Our Father" prayer says 'Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven". So I believe we're here to be 'lightning rods' of Heaven's Culture.
Don't care too much about your reputation on earth- rather, care about your reputation in heaven.
When we get to the Pearly Gates, we'll only be asked one question- 'Did you learn to love?'
Learn to love and forgive yourself in the light of Grace, then you can love your neighbour as yourself. You can't export what you don't have.
It looks like honour.
The Meek shall inherit the earth. What is Meekness? It's strength-filled humility. And humility is imminently teachable.
I'm taking a leaf out of my Daughter-in-law Denene's book here to say Love must be three-fold, and is represented by the Three Crosses-
a) The Jesus Cross- GRACE, Mercy, Forgiveness, Second chances
b) The RED CROSS- COMPASSION, Aid, Hospitality
c) The LOVE Cross- Affection, Acceptance, Honour
Prophesy to 'Dry Bones'. Don't tell them what they are. Tell them what they can be :)
This modus operandi- I would like to be my default setting! (Ref Ezekiel Ch. 37)
Eat the good fats- the Monosaturated fats and keep your brain young!
Steer clear of all things containing Aluminium- Cooking Utensils, Aluminium Foil, Anti-perspirants, Baking Powder and Canned drinks and keep your brain healthy!
Don't cook in non-stick pans! Put non-stick pans in the tip!
Don't be a noodle like me and procrastinate when you know the right thing to do! It's wisdom to get on with it when the path becomes clear, otherwise there may be a price to pay! (I know from experience :( )
Short on time?
What would your 12 look like?
