My Prayer For You



This is a beautiful song of hope. Just as I am reflecting this Sunday morning on God and this wonderful life of faith I have received as a gift from Him, my heart goes out to all who are struggling with doubt, diversity, conflict, oppression, illness, slander, the list goes on....

 Maybe we humans tend to look everywhere else in life for comfort in tough moments other than in the presence of God. It is in the stillness that He comes to us and fills us with his serenity and peace.

 The way to God is through faith in Jesus Christ the Messiah. He patiently waits for us to turn to Him with all our hearts and acknowledge that He is the Son of God. He loved us so much that He offered Himself as a sacrifice in our stead so that we could be declared 'righteous' before a holy God. The apostle Paul, who once murdered Christians, wrote some of the deepest mysteries of the faith he once vehemently opposed. He attributed this dramatic change to a living encounter with the risen Christ (see Acts 9:1-19). He further wrote in Galatians 2:20:

 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

 When Christ lives in us through the Holy Spirit, we have REAL life, because He himself is the Source of life. May you encounter Him today and if you already know Him, may He be real in a very special way. He is a God who saves and a God who comforts.

 As the song says:

 May God give you eyes to see, He's still greater,
Courage to rise and believe He's able,
May God be your peace in the fire you're walking through.
This is my prayer now,
This is my prayer for you.

 Have a beautiful Sunday. xxx

"When you get to the top, there's nothing there."

The title of this blog is a quotation from author Jack Higgins, who wrote 'The Eagle has Landed'.  He wished he had known as a small boy that 'when you get to the top, there's nothing there'. The former President of the Republic of Macedonia, Sir Boris Trajkovski, reiterates similar sentiments in this video. The quality is poor, but I think his words can be heard clearly. Even to reach the top position in one's country, " ...as President, in my life I feel that nothing is more important than to know the Lord Jesus Christ. "    What about this feeling of emptiness inside? I agree with Sir Boris Trajkovski. His conclusion is: to have Christ is everything. Forget the religious nonsense which chokes the very soul of the living God. Religion is man-made and is therefore as stifling and narrow-minded as its makers. A real relationship with the God of Heaven fulfills and gives peace. I think that's what we are all looking for, if we a

Of Infinite Importance

The vivid red poinsettias, which stand out against the azure skies of Cyprus, are not without symbolism for the Christmas celebration. The star shape in the centre resembles the star of Bethlehem and the leafy red bracts represent the blood of Christ, a visible reminder of the reason for His coming. While we enjoy the festive ambience and quality family time of the Christmas season, there is infinitely more to the mere outward festivities. A deeper look at the Christmas story reveals a heart-changing message. The Impact of Christ's Birth Christ's birth impacted the course of history like no other because of who He was and why He came. The Bible records the words proclaimed to Joseph by the Angel of the Lord concerning Mary and the Lord's birth: She will give birth to a Son, and you shall name Him Jesus (The LORD is salvation), for He will save His people from their sins. Matthew 1:21 (Amplified Bible) As the angels announced His arrival to the humble shepherds that holy n

The Mystery that is Macedonia

When I first came to Macedonia on a visit in 2001, I found this little country so intriguing and breathtakingly beautiful that I happily accepted the invitation to return for a longer period. That ‘longer period’ has now extended itself to several years during which I have had many enriching, memorable experiences. I thought it might be interesting to jot down a few observations about the difference in culture. I appeal to my Macedonian readers not to misunderstand my intentions. What I have observed are customs and habits which are as normal to you as breathing and sleeping, but to someone from an entirely different culture, they are both interesting and noteworthy. It is always thrilling for me to explore how various nations function and it is nothing short of a privilege to experience a foreign culture first-hand. Hospitality Macedonians are a friendly, hospitable people. I do not know how many times they have almost literally killed me with kindness. Indeed, I have often
