’n Hart soos die van ‘n Jagluiperd?

Uiterstes kom vanself, balans is die uitdaging!

'n Hart soos die van 'n Jagluiperd? | Lynette Beer

Ek was bevoorreg om as spreker op te tree by Faith Fellowship. Ek was netjies aangetrek, gesykous met stilettos. My voete is gedaan en ek sit op vlug JE 548 vanaf PE na Johannesburg en dink aan en oor God, en ook oor myself. Ek dink dat ek eers 21:00 land en more 5:00 weer die pad Nelspruit toe aanvat.

Ek besef dat God mense soek met stamina. Mense wat nie opgee wanneer hulle moeg is of soms ʼn paar onverwagse klappe vanaf die kantlyn kry nie. Ek dink aan die profeet Elia, sy groot oorwinning oor die baalpriesters waarna hy moeg en uitgeput die woestyn invlug waar hy wil opgee op die lewe.

So het ons almal ons eie uitdagings en dreig ons ook soms om die wildernis in te vlug en boedel oor te gee.

Die uithouvermoë van die mens laat my onwillekeurig dink aan die Jagluiperd. Die is aërodinamies gebou vir spoed en kan van 0 tot 64 km versnel in slegs 3 tree tot top snelheid van 112 km in sekondes. Wanneer hy hardloop raak slegs een voet op ʼn slag die grond. Vir 7-8 meter poses raak geen voet die grond nie soos sy liggaam gestrek is en feitlik dubbel kan vou. Ongelukkig kan hy slegs 5.5 kilometer hardloop voordat hy totaal uitgeput is. Die jagluiperd het ʼn baie klein hart, onproporsioneel tot die grootte van sy lyf. Dus raak hy gou moeg en indien hy nie sy prooi vang tydens die eerste probeerslag nie sal hy honger ly.

So is dit ook met ons. Dit voel soms of ons liggame nie kan byhou met die ritme van ons hart nie; dit wat ons werklik oor droom, maar dit is juis dan wanneer ons moet volhard, moet aanhou glo, hoop en vertrou.


Uit die Woord:Die Here het vir my ‘n belangrike opdrag gegee
en my God gee my die krag om dit te doen .” – Jes.49:5

The Four Temperaments in the Health Care Industry
By Lynette Beer 25 Apr, 2023
I have to date, not met any successful healthcare worker without a deep love for people. Empathy and caring for people's needs should form part of any nurse or doctor's make-up – unless they choose to spend time in laboratories or the admin side of the industry.

The Four Temperaments and Stress Management - Finding Balance
By Lynette Beer 25 Apr, 2023
Stress management is not a nice-to-have skill. If anything, dealing with stress could be a lifesaver. For many corporate positions, it has become a prerequisite for employment.
The Impact of Temperament on Communication
By Lynette Beer 18 Apr, 2023
Communicating is a vital life skill that does not come naturally to all. When it comes to talking, the Red and Yellow temperaments have no problem at all – to the contrary, they are talkers par excellence. As the storyteller and performer, Yellow could make an impromptu speech with little or no warning, while Red could persuade a large group to follow his course or buy into his concept. But listening – the other crucial ingredient of communication - is a skill both Red and Yellow must practise.
The Four Temperaments and Leadership: How to Effectively Lead a Team

Although the two extrovert types, Raving Red and Yappy Yellow, are traditionally the apparent leaders, all temperaments can lead a team. It is a misconception that introverts do not make good leaders.
Navigating Romantic Relationships with Different Temperaments
By Lynette Beer 01 Mar, 2023
Although opposites often attract, there is no scientific proof that this is the norm. However, it is common to find an introvert marrying an extrovert or a people-oriented person finding a task-oriented Red or Blue attractive. This could be a subconscious step to compliment him- or herself or simply make sure that he or she does not have to perform a duty that does not come naturally or comfortably.
Exploring the Four Temperaments in Parenting
By Lynette Beer 01 Mar, 2023
‘Know Thyself’ has never been as crucial as in the parenting role. Parents have often told me that the child they battle the most with is the one that resembles them – in character and temperament. Flaring up against young Jimmy because he shows signs of your own shortcomings is human – but not fair.
The Groovy Green Temperament and Decision Making
By Lynette Beer 01 Mar, 2023
Groovy Green hates making decisions – it comes with the temperament… He or she is a master procrastinator and good at passing on the decision-making buck. Feeling unworthy and not ‘good enough’, clever enough or competent enough to make any decision, is almost a natural reaction for our Green brothers and sisters.
