What is your life’s Leitmotif?

Leitmotif was the Word of the Day for Tuesday, May 31, 2011, and has two general meanings.
Firstly, in music drama, it is a marked melodic phrase or short passage which always accompanies the reappearance of a certain person, situation, abstract idea, or allusion in the course of the play. In other words it is a sort of musical label.
The second meaning is, as a dominant and recurring theme. And it is with that second meaning that my mind wandered to my own life and to what was its dominant and re-occurring themes.
Before I became a Christian I don’t know that there was any re-occurring theme in my life except perhaps my Family. Before I became a Christian at 29, I had no real direction or purpose in my Life, let alone a re-occurring theme; but after I became a Christian I had both purpose and direction.
Looking back at my post Christian life, I find that whenever I was in difficult circumstances and needed someone to confide in, no matter where I was, whether in this country or in South Africa, God brought along the right person for that time and circumstance, even if I haven’t seen that person since.
Of course he has blessed me in so many other ways too, but my Leitmotif is that God has continually blessed me with giving me the right human encouragement at the right time.
Well, that’s my Leitmotif! What’s yours?

Are you untestable or just Intestable?

The Word of the Day for Thursday, June 2, 2011 was intestable, and when I first saw it, I thought it read, “Untestable”, so my mind started to wonder if in fact any human could in fact be untestable. Maybe some things mathematically may be untestable, some may even claim that God is untestable, but I don’t know any true believer that believes that based on our own personal experience of Him and His blessings to us.
Getting back to us humans here, some might think themselves untestable but all of us are testable, even if only before God on Judgement Day! For as Second Corinthians 5: 10 says: “For all of us must appear before the judgement seat of Christ, so that each may receive recompense for what has been done in the body, whether good or evil.”
So here it makes it quite clear that each and every one of us, is indeed testable and testable by God’s standards and not our own too. Again despite what many may think, none of us are untestable to and by God.
However getting back to the word of the day then, it didn’t actually read untestable but instead read, intestable, which it then explained meant, “Someone not legally qualified to make a will, such as an infant or a lunatic.”
Thus my closing thought is, that any and every one who really thinks that they are untestable is really intestable! However, if they are so only because they are infants, then they have a chance to grow out of it, but if it is because they are lunatics, then there is no hope for them. No hope outside of Christ that is! If you would like to discuss this further, please feel free to e-mail me here.
