Book Review – Harvest of Gold by Tessa Afshar
This book is the second book – the first being the harvest of rubies
These books are simply amazing they walk us through the journey of Marcus and Sarah and several times in the book I saw myself as Marcus and Sarah.
Harvest of Gold focused on the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem by Nehemiah the struggle he faced, the strain that occurred in Sarah’s marriage, but above all, it talks to us about a God that loves us irrevocably and can turn the outcomes of our lives into that of gold
The following are some areas in the book that deeply touched me and answered some questions
I feel that the Lord has left me too- I feel abandoned by the Lord
Sometimes the heart goes through such a deep valley that the lord is overshadowed by its darkness. the trick is when you feel God has let you go you don’t let go of God cling to Him anyway and you will find that He never abandoned you – He remained near all along I am convinced He knows your pain and seeks to give you rest in the midst of it
What do you think destiny is?
A smooth path that never jostles you? no, when you walk in destiny you will crash and fall more times you can count BUT the secret is to hold on to God’s vision for your life — and for the lives of those, He puts in your charge. No matter how many times you fall, crash and fail you get up. You get up and face your obstacles
Something a little girl needs –
Love, companionship, the knowledge that she is wanted and valued and when they don’t receive it they learn to trust no one themselves
“ I was the one to take care of me. No one else could do that”
God sometimes calls us to build something for him – in order to do that you have to rebuild the ruins of your early life.
The enemies of the world – the dark forces of evil that we have against us; nagging doubts, the forces that have already come against you, your childhood, bitterness, detachment, unforgiveness.
We need the weapon of God to survive
Well unless God becomes your God you won’t have access to His power
God Love for us
The Lord cared for him as an individual. He had not chosen God had chosen him, he had not been chosen because he was the strongest or best God had chosen him simply the LORD OF THE UNIVERSE LOVED HIM. HE LOVED (YOUR NAME) WITH AN UNFAILING LOVE”
The lord had been with him through every single moment of the ravages of his childhood when he thought himself alone the lord had been with him loving him guiding him the lord had known every sorry every childhood fear and had never -NEVER -ABANDONED HIM
Oh, Please Can I Fail?
I know lots of people might be wondering who in the world wants to fail!
Maybe not in an exam –I don’t want that either! who will pay?
But that’s not what I am talking about when I ask to fail.
I want to fail at the things I do.
I want to fail in my coaching program.
I want to fail with my blogging.
I want to fail while I market to you.
And yes I know Why.
It’s only when I fail, I’ll know better.
I used to be scared of failing, after all who doesn’t want to be perfect?
But over the years I have realized that the areas I have become better at, where areas I failed in so many times.
And you know what? I now welcome it.
I don’t see failure as something that stops me or paralyzes me anymore. Nope.
I see failure as a teacher that tells me what not to do next time and what to do better.
By failing we learn things we never would have learnt if we had just succeeded.
So yes fail and fail quickly.
Because only in your failure does perfection come forth.
First thing First
So I want to attend a program on personal development, add up going for some marketing session
Simultaneously maybe I should look a bit into fashion and makeup
let not forget I need to finish this book review
having so much to do what do I attend to next
Well this is the “typical me” and this is “the typical you”
and this “typical us” is delaying us from achieving our goals
And so the law of first things first set it
It briefly states
Find a balance between your long term goals and your short-term goals.
It states chooses what is needed not what you think you want.
It states to focus on areas that give the greatest returns for your efforts.
It states to choose one area you want to know first.
The law of first thing asks us questions daily
It asks us to make a choice and it asks us to be conscious of our reality
The law of first things say pick what is most important now
So yes you need to acquire a website or attend an online course program – choose which is most important
You need to buy two book – choose which one you need the most
The reason the law of first things sets in is that resources are limited and there is always an opportunity cost for each of our action
For one choice we make we lose another – so choose the one that makes the biggest impact on your life right now
And forget about the one you didn’t choose – it part of life.
when two alternatives come seeking your time, resources or energy – let the law of first things guide you
Ask which should come first?
The WHY of our Actions
Why do we act the way we do
Why do we laugh
Why do we cry
Why?
Why?
Why?
Sometimes we can’t tell why we do what we do but sometimes if we look deep we can
and to those moments I speak to you about.
Why do you hate someone
Why do you love someone
Why do you want to live
why do you want to change the world
To thy own self be true — is my mantra
Knowing why I do things, has greatly helped me become a better person
I would confess that asking myself WHY has not always given me the greatest joy but it has helped me find out who I am.
Every time I am able to get to the WHY behind my actions I am set free much further
I call this process Finding Me – I want you to find your true self
Ask yourself the big WHY and the small WHY
The why behind the show-off
The why behind the lady that hides scared to be seen
The why behind the fear
The why behind the independence facade
I don’t promise that you would like all the answers
But one thing is sure
You will never remain the same same
So ask WHY?
