I find that by doing this I become more aware of the blessings in my life and all the reasons I have to be grateful. This year is the 20th anniversary of the Counselling Centre and as you will read in the free booklet, the journey has provided many instances of God’s faithfulness. He has never failed to deliver on His promises. What a privilege to see His goodness first hand, both in the story of the Centre and in our own lives. We decided it would be appropriate to focus on the theme of ‘Thanksgiving’ this issue. I have heard it said, “It is not the happy who are thankful but rather the thankful who are happy.” I couldn’t agree more. The articles and testimonies we have received have been truly uplifting and I can’t wait for you to dive in and enjoy them as I have. On the theme of gratitude: in our last issue we placed an appeal for donations to support the magazine. We would like to thank Rosemary Rowe, Barbara and Jeff Kockott and others for their generosity that has enabled us to ‘keep the light burning.’ We continue to need financial support and if you think you could help, we would be truly grateful. Praying you are blessed by this publication and that, like the Psalmist, you will be able to Give thanks to the Lord for He IS good! (Psalm 106.1) Editorial Team Ian & Adie Wilsher Happy Reading!

By Ian Wilsher ost of us know the Lord’s prayer in which we pray, “Your facts about the Lord Jesus but, rather, trusting Him personally. Kingdom come.” Trusting Him means resting in Him, relying on Him to save us from M our sin, relying on Him to give us life, trusting Him to live His life What are we asking? through us. It is inviting the Lord Jesus to establish His Kingdom in us, whereby we receive His grace and love and power so that we When Jesus began His ministry, He proclaimed, “The Kingdom of can live as He wants us to live.

However, He did not come certain religious rituals, nor even being nice or good. Christianity to rule in a geographical location: He rules in the hearts and lives is about a relationship with God the Father through the Lord Jesus of those who are willing to submit to Him as their King.

We establish that relationship by doing what Jesus commanded us to do: We are born ruling our own lives, following the ‘Repent and believe the good news.’ If you have dictates of our own selfish and sinful nature. never done that, why don’t you take time right This sinful nature makes it impossible for us to now to do so? obey His commands, especially the two main commandments to love Him and others. The I grew up going to Church, but never had a sinful nature is the antithesis of love: it is real or personal relationship with God. It was selfish, rather than ‘other’-orientated. Jesus only when I went to university that I first really proclaimed His Kingdom and said that if we understood the Gospel. One night, lying in want to belong we must do two things: bed, before going to sleep, I prayed a prayer in which I told the Lord I no longer wanted to go my Repent. This is to abdicate the throne of our own own way, but rather wanted to hand my life over in lives; it is to decide not to follow our own selfish way trust to Him. That brief, silent, very inarticulate prayer (which eventually leads to death); it is to turn away from was the most important thing I ever did. It was the start of my what we know is sin, and to submit ourselves to His authority and walk with the Lord, in which I have come to know Him. It hasn’t rule. always been easy.
