Cracks in our life / foundation

I had a request from one of my readers to write about the cracks in our lives. Guys/Girls, you are welcome to sign in as a follower and I would love to hear your comments.

I received an e-mail about cracks. It was about a building that was in use for many years. There appeared cracks on the 42th floor. The managing director was very troubled by it and got an architect to come and look at it. When the architect came, the managing director went to the 42th floor to meet him and was very upset that he could not find him. He then learned that the architect went to the basement and finding him he asked what he is doing there, as the cracks are on the 42th floor. The architect then replied that there might be a crack on the 42th floor, but the problem lies with the foundation of the building.

They then learned that the security guard that worked there wanted to build a garage at home, but he did not have enough money. He took one or two bricks every night (before going home), to build his garage. This was the foundation problem and the reason why cracks appeared on the 42th floor.

If we look around us, we will see a lot of people with cracks in their 42th floor. Things do not happen as they are supposed to, stress levels are high, finances and love are in the process of dissapearing. People have affairs while married, do not have respect for eache other or their lives, temptations are irresistible, etc.

The moment whe experience problems or difficulties, we first go to the 42th floor in order to rectify or save what we can. The problem: - the fault, problem or difficulty that we experience is not there, but at the foundation. We must look for the cracks in our hearts.

The tragedy in life is that most of the cracks are caused by other people. People sometimes have the tendency to weaken your foundation and by doing so, they ensure that you experience a crisis.

In Mat 7 and 1 Kor 3, we learn that we are Gods building and that He build the foundation. If we take that foundation out of our life, cracks will appear on the 42th floor.

This means that if we have a crack in our foundation, we must tend to it immediately. We must as the best architect to look at it and fix it. Only God can do it. Jesus is the big healer and architect of our broken hearts. He is waiting for us there in the basement to talk to Him and tell Him what bothers us.

For years, I thought I was the ugliest person on earth. My husband never made me feel that I was special or beautiful. I went to a sermon of Gary Kieswetter and he said that we are all special. God created us in our mothers' womb, before we were born. That made us special and unique. I then realise that I do not have to wait for other people to make me feel special. I only need God, because with Him, everyone is special and unique. That was a crack in my foundation that God healed/fixed.

If someone is nasty with you or say things that hurts, go to the big healer. He will give you what you need and when you need it. Your confidence will grow and you will feel a lot better about yourself.

We, as human beings are very dependent of what other people say or do. We must just realise that this is temporary and that God is the only answer. If somebody hurts you (body and/or soul), this is only while you are on earth. If you do not seek help, they will keep on hurting you, and you will be unhappy and it will definitely KEEP YOU AWAY FROM GOD. You must remember, the devil will do whatever he can to stop you. He will keep on trying to convince you that God is not the way to go, but you must be strong and have to withstand every temptation coming your way.

May God bless you and your family. May you have a healthy and a prosperous life with Him.
