ARMWEES beteken nie jy verdien ander se weggooigemors nie. <\/p>\n
Dit beteken nie jy is ni\u00e9 geregtig op menswaardige behandeling en liefde nie.<\/p>\n
Die passie straal uit Carla Smit (volgende maand 49), maar ook onsteltenis oor mense se gebrek aan deernis vir diegene in nood.<\/p>\n
Dink jou in: jy is onverwags swanger, moontlik werkloos, verlaat deur die \u00e9\u00e9n persoon wat jou moes deurdra . . . dit laat jou despe-raat en weerloos. Waarheen, hoe en watnou?<\/p>\n
En om dan nog by ander hoor jy is \u2018n uitvaagsel?<\/p>\n
\u201cDit kon nie anders nie. Ek m\u00f3\u00e9s \u2018n plek van veiligheid en \u2019n basis van sorg begin vir die wat bitter swaar-kry op ons pragdorp,\u201d s\u00ea Carla.<\/p>\n
Bykans twee jaar gelede het sy The Ladies Lighthouse in Jeffreysbaai op die been gebring om kwesbare vroue, jong mammas en kinders deur donker tye te help.<\/p>\n
\u201cOns gemeenskap is genoop om met empatie en meelewing die ge-sindheid van Jesus vir mense in nood te l\u00e9\u00e9f. Selfs met diegene wat ekonomies swaartrek, gaan dit beter as met die wat letterlik niks het nie. Ons kla te dikwels met die spreek-woordelike witbrood onder die arm, terwyl ons deur smart en absolute wanhoop omring word.\u201d<\/p>\n
Carla praat intens oor die mense van die omgewing wie se harte oop is. \u201cDie weldoeners is volop, en hulle bring en gee en voorsien, maar dikwels is daar mense en selfs kerke wat met voorwaardes en selfs oordeel gee.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sy meen dat die goue re\u00ebl altyd moet geld \u2013 doen aan ander wat jy aan jouself gedoen wil h\u00ea. \u201cDis met innige dankbaarheid wat ons kos-pakkies ontvang, maar dink aan wat jy vir jou gesin sou voorsit.\u201d <\/p>\n
Sy meld die voorbeeld: Ons waar-deer die pakkies pasta, maar is verle\u00eb om kaal pasta of rys op te dis. Dit is nie Jesus se hart om vir die wat reeds waardeloos voel, afskeepkos te gee nie. \u201cAs ons goed doen, dat dit dan \u2018goed\u2019 wees.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ons help die wat so \u2019n rou tyd deurworstel om op die been te kom; nie om swak gewoontes of blinde keuses te ondersteun en voort te sit nie, verduidelik Carla. Die gawes en skenkings maak dit moontlik dat ons hulle deurhelp en op \u2018n plek te bring waar hulle onafhanklik kan wees.<\/p>\n
\u201cWat my ontstig is die aanmatig-ende houding waarmee mense dinge gee. Soms moet ons \u2019n item verkoop want ons het reeds so een, maar kry \u2019n siedende oproep waar die aanvanklike gewer ons kwalik neem.\u201d <\/p>\n
Carla is beslis hieroor: as jy gee, gee jy! \u201cMens kan nie \u2019n bababedjie of klere \u00e9\u00e9t nie. Om te verwag items moet gestoor word en nie gebruik nie (op watter wyse ookal), is kortsigtig.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMense moet verstaan dat die foto\u2019s waarop hulle aandring as hulle klere skenk, is van \u2018n vrou wat net ure vantevore verkrag is.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sy kyk in die o\u00eb van \u2018n 17-jarige meisie wat byna geboorte moet gee; sy sien die onsekerheid, die vrees vir die toekoms en hoe onmoontlik dit vir haar lyk. En Carla w\u00e9\u00e9t dat die Here se aanvanklike boodskap aan haar soos \u2018n baken sal bly staan om die weerloses te help: \u201cVertrou My.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n Help die wat waardeloos, hulpe-loos en magteloos is deur omstan-dighede, om w<\/span>eer op die been te kom.<\/p>\n Skakel Carla by 079 399 8565.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
