Spiritual Well-Being pt 4 with Angus Buchan

Angus Buchan

Follow your heart

We need to follow our hearts, whether we're in school, university, or in the workplace, whether we're contemplating retirement or are already resident in an old age home.....................................................

I am following the thing I love the most, and that is telling people there's a better way to approach this life we live. to tell them that we have the answer for reconciliation, that their marriages, homes, businesses and their lives can be different, if they put their trust in God. What's more, your physical health largely depends on how you feel, mentally and spiritually.

.............God is no respecter of persons. He will use any man, any woman, any boy and any girl, who is prepared to put their hand up for Him.

Many of us seem to afflicted with low self-esteem, an inferiority complex, a case of 'woe is me'. With that type of attitude you'll never be able to follow your heart and realise your dream. We have to understand that each and every one of us has the opportunity to realise our dream if we trust in God.
Remember, too, Jesus said love your neighbour as yourself. If we truly start to do this, we'll see a serious change, not only in our personal lives, but in our business, our farming enterprise and, very importantly, in our community and in the home.

This will have a direct affect on the nation.............(We) are desperately short of spiritual mentors, of examples, of encouragers. The name of Barnabas, the character in the Bible also known as Joseph, means 'encourager'.

And we desperately need Barnabases in the world today. Many people can't reconcile themselves with their own past. They feel they've messed up too badly and there's no hope for them. This is a fallacy. If we look in the Bible, God continually uses people who have messed up. But the requirement is that we repent, which means to stop doing what we have been doing and start again.
