Stress The Killer.

Had a wonderful day yesterday! Went to a dried river bed where there are a few pot holes left and found a myriad of beautiful little creatures of God.

The fine fellow in the photo was on the road and happily allowed his portrait to be taken. Ok,Ok he's not pretty. He's beautiful!


A life filled with no stress is a life filled with glowing success, a happy outlook and a sense of fulillment.

Who really causes stress in our lives? Mainly, other people do - if we let them.

A Darling friend of mine has recently had a stroke which has left him brain damaged, and rendered his left arm totally useless. Prior to the stroke, he and his wife had been fighting (again).

She found him laying on the floor after she came out of her bedroom after hours of sulking and has no idea of how long he had been laying there.

The only reason she found him was because she heard thumping in the kitchen where he had regained consciousness and was trying desperately to call her for help.

My heart is in constant prayer for him.

Now, and only now, his wife has realised the temper tantrum could have been the cause of her husband's massive stroke.

Stress is a killer. It murders it's victim slowly then strikes with venom to allow it's victim to die a slow death of paralysis and often, brain damage.

It barricades it's victim behind walls yet allows memory to stay. Memories of days when there were no handicaps.

It causes suicides, indescribable anguish, and a myriad of other things.

And why? Because the victim allows it.

No person on earth is devoid of having gone through periods of depression and sadness. Many people in the past died of Melancholia.

Heroes in the Bible went through it. Jesus wept tears of blood, He wept for Jerusalem - yes, even the Mighty Saviour went through it during His span as a human being.

What do we stress about?

When it's all boiled down we stress about demands placed on us by other people.

The greatest book ever written is The Bible. Constantly the words have echoed throughout the ages. " FEAR NOT!"

Stress is actually fear.

Yep, I could copy and paste a million words here about stress but it's not worth it.

The plain fact is, God is in charge IF YOU LET HIM!

And therein lies the deeper problem. How many people allow God to take complete charge of their life? Of their finances? Of their marriage? Of their situation?

It means a complete change of life. You have no control over your life anymore no matter what age you may be. You sit back and allow God to fly the plane of your being and go to wherever He guides you while you trust Him implicitly.

Know this, God wants us all to be happy! To love and be loved in return.

He will never fly the plane into danger territory unless He wants to test the Man He created. Once the test is over and the enemy defeated by Him, He flies the plane over still calm waters and glides through fields which envelop our souls with unbelievable joy.

And, it is all in His Timing - not ours.

Our light should shine before man, we should be all happy, glowing, healthy loving people who live good Godly lives. But stress dims that light until it is almost as extinct as the life force within the human body.

Never forget to pause and look at the Majesty, and the wonder's of God. They relieve stress!

Remember, no stress is success.

Ok, so I am condemned for my carefree life. Well sorry about that but God is in control.
