God is Love

Image
This morning, it was raining cats and dogs.  When I arrived at the platform to wait for the train, I asked this young woman if she could remove her umbrella from the seat next ro her as I needed to sit down. When she did, I noticed the seat was wet. I pointed out to her that her umbrella had made the seat wet. "Don't come to me with your negative attitude," she said. "Move along!" "Putting a wet umbrella on a seat shows a lack of consideration for others," I said. "I don't care!" she said. I moved on and found a dry seat further down the platform in the shelter. Although I was feeling angry by the girl's attitude, I was inspired to let go of the anger and bless her with love.  On the way back from work, I travelled on the tube. When I got on the second tube, it was a mad dash to get to the last seat on the carriage.  Although I won that race, I let the woman have the seat. Suddenly, I felt someone nudging my back. When I turned round,...

I Come from God

While I was having a banter with this guy I was working with, he asked me where I was from. "What do you mean?" I said. "Where did you originate from?" "I come from God," I said. "I like that answer," he said. "It's the truth," I said. "I'm a Christian and I come from God." He smiled and walked away. If you want to get to know me, all you need to know is I am a child of the Living God. ❤️  ----- Relevant Bible verses: "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." John 1: 12-13 "Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." John 3: 5-6 "Therefore, from now on, we...

May Jesus Christ Be Praised

Image
It's easy to praise God and be grateful to Him when everything is going your way. What about when things are not so great? When I woke up this morning, I was not only coughing hard, I'd lost my voice. I wondered if I should cancel my evening shift, but I decided not to. I then heard the words in my head, "May Jesus Christ Be Praised", which I recognised from a Christian hymn. I started humming it.  I then watched a few versions of the hymn on YouTube and tried to sing along with them. My voice sounded very hoarse.  I spent the morning watching praise hymns on YouTube, reading Praise Bible verses and thanking God. By early afternoon, my voice was back to normal, though I was stil coughing. I then went to work at my evening shift. During my downtime, I continued praising Him. No matter what the circumstance, I will praise God at all times. Thank you, Jesus. ❤️ ------ Relevant Bible verses: “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the...

Dog Friend

Image
During my walk at this park, I got lost and I trusted in God to show me the way. When I came out of the park gate, I noticed two women with a white Maltese dog walking towards me. The dog immediately ran towards me and sniffed me. I bent down and said hello. Both women were shocked by their dog's behaviour. One of them said their dog doesn't like strangers and is usually very aloof around people. She said the dog obviously likes me. I then said goodbye to them and wished them well. I reckon my dog friend could sense God in and around me. ❤️ Photo of Maltese dog from the Internet..

God Keeps Us Cool

On the way to church, I got on the tube (underground train). As soon as I sat down, I noticed the carriage was really warm. I looked at the carriage door and noticed the window was closed. No wonder it's so stuffy in here!  To keep myself cool, I took off my hat. I started thinking of the Bible verse about Christ living inside of me (Galatians 2: 20), which I've been meditating on for the last month. Suddenly, I heard the window of the door to our carriage snap open.  All of us in the carriage were startled and we stared at the door. There was no one standing there, at least no one visible. I was grateful there was now some cool air coming into the carriage. Nice one, God!👍 A few stops down, some more passengers got on the same carriage and one of them opened the window all the way. Thank you, Jesus, for keeping us cool. ❤️ ----- Relevant Bible verse: "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in t...

God Will Show You the Way

Image
Before online maps, I used to be very  proficient at using the "Follow Your Nose" way of finding places. I would often get lost and ask God to guide me or send someone to help. When I started using online maps, I was constantly lost as I'm not very good at reading maps. I've gone back to the old way of trusting in God as my Guide. Just as well, as the park I went to today was so huge, at one point I had no idea where I was. I asked God and I heard the word "Teddington." He told me to trust Him and He kept guiding me until I came out of one gate. He then led me to a bus stop where I was able to catch a bus to the nearest train station. Thank God!  Trust in God and He will show you the way.❤️ ----- Relevant Bible verses: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." Proverbs 3: 5-6 Woodlands Gardens, Bushy Park.

I am Everywhere

While I was working on the second floor of this museum, I welcomed this man and his kids and suggested play areas for the kids and an exhibition he might enjoy. About an hour later, while I was on the ground floor, I saw the same man and his family doing a fun trail around the museum. He asked me a question,  which I answered. Later, while I was working in the cloakroom, the same man turned up with his kids to pick up their coats and bags. The man said to me, "Are you the only one working in this museum because I keep seeing you everywhere?" 😀 Speaking of being everywhere, a few days ago, I volunteered at this museum where they had a festival.  There were several actors playing historical characters.  I had a chit chat with two of them. The next day, I worked at another museum and noticed one of the actors I had been chatting to at the festival. She was dressed in a costume and  working with some school kids. Apparently, that's her day job. It was nice to see her. T...
