Money is neutral and necessary, but we should be cautious to not let money become our master. If we become obsessed with money it's only a matter of time before we grow cold and wander from the faith - Esther

We live in a world where unfaithfulness, disloyalty and betrayal have become commonplace in everyday life. No wonder then, that we tend to look at God with the same lens, not realizing that it is God's character to be faithful.

[Michael Collins @mikesthersusy]

Often we wonder whether we are doing God's will or not. Here are some simple ways to do the the will of God - To be joyful in spite of all the difficulties and hardships we face, to be in constant communion with the Lord, and to have a heart overflowing with thankfulness. Esther

[Michael Collins @mikesthersusy]

Our human tendency is to pay back or get even with those who wrong us in any way, because we feel no one should take advantage of us. However, that's not Jesus' way - to be a follower of Jesus means we love those who hate us, do good to those who do evil to us - Esther.

In the family of God each one is at a different stage in life. Some who are wayward or idle need gentle admonition, those who are discouraged need encouragement, and still others who are weak in their faith need help. Let's encourage one another - Esther.

[Michael Collins @mikesthersusy]

Imagine a world where love reigns supreme and everyone is at peace with each other. That's what Jesus offers - a peace that surpasses human understanding and one that prevails amidst the turmoil and confusion all around. Let's strive to maintain this peace with everyone.

What a blessed thought to know that though we were sinners worthy of condemnation, God in His grace destined us to be saved for eternity. This was accomplished for us through Jesus the sinless Son of God who took our place on the cross.

[Michael Collins @mikesthersusy]

Our God is a holy God, and we His children are called to live a life of holiness. There's so much impurity, immorality and ungodliness all around us, but with the power of the Holy Spirit of God within us, it is possible for us to live in holiness. Esther

[Michael Collins @mikesthersusy]

Communication is the vital part of every relationship. Therefore, what we say, and how we say it is really important. Our words should be gracious, and seasoned with salt, which means we only say what is needful, loving, true, and kind so we add flavour to every relationship.

[Michael Collins @mikesthersusy]

As disciples of the Lord Jesus we are commissioned to 'Go' into all the world, and share the Good News of the Gospel with everyone. Each of us is uniquely placed, so let's never miss an opportunity to share our faith with those who come our way. - Esther

[Michael Collins @mikesthersusy]

Prayer is our weapon against every onslaught of the enemy. If we are not watchful, we will get attacked from unexpected quarters. While we are watchful, we should also be thankful for every blessing and for everyone who are a blessing in our lives. Esther

[Michael Collins @mikesthersusy]

In the midst of hectic lifestyles and busy schedules, our minds get clogged with the earthly and mundane cares, and worries of life. As those who have risen with Christ into this new life, we are reminded to turn our desires and thoughts towards God, eternity and heaven. Esther

[Michael Collins @mikesthersusy]

All of us who have received the Lord Jesus into our lives must continue to grow in our relationship with Him every single day. This means we walk with the Lord, remain rooted in Him, grow in the knowledge His Word, become stronger in our faith, and have a grateful heart. Esther

[Michael Collins @mikesthersusy]

Only in and through Jesus Christ do we have redemption and forgiveness of sins. Anyone who puts their faith in Jesus, and makes Him the Lord and Saviour of their lives will experience this amazing transformation. Esther

[Michael Collins @mikesthersusy]

The strength that Christ gives us is the ability to be content no matter what state we are in. The Apostle Paul found his strength in Christ through all the good and bad times, and may this be our testimony too.
Have a happy day, and let's be content in every situation - Esther

[Michael Collins @mikesthersusy]

If all of our thoughts, time, energy and finances are directed towards us or our family only, the Lord reminds us to stop and look around. There are so many who need a kind word, a helping hand, a listening ear or a little help to lift them up, and keep them from quitting.

[Michael Collins @mikesthersusy]

The world pressurizes us to do everything for selfish gain and self-promotion, while God's word teaches otherwise. Jesus exemplified humility to the utmost, and we who are His children must choose to be humble, and to consider others better than ourselves - Esther

Sometimes our journey in life could be down a bumpy road. It's no fun, not easy, is stressful and we might even want to quit.

Here's a short talk and a song by Esther and me to encourage you to keep moving on.

[Michael Collins @mikesthersusy]

All people experience the love of God in their lives, but it's only those who comprehend it that see the transformation that His love brings, and it's only they who are then able to share that love with others.
