Who Decides?

Image
So I decided to leave home at a particular time. Because the roads were clear, I arrived in central London way too early for work I decided to kill time by going for a long walk along this park. Then I decided to go into this church. The early church service had just finished. After taking some photos of the interior, I sat at the back of the church to enjoy the peace and quiet and read my Bible. I decided it was time to leave the church and continue my walk.  I decided to walk down this road and discovered this new garden. I took some photos. I decided to walk down this road which led to a road I was familiar with. I decided to stop off at two shops to buy some food and drink. I realised I was disoriented so I decided to walk in the opposite direction where I noticed this supermarket, which reminded me I was on the right track. I noticed this woman standing in front of me and grinning at me. I realised it was my work colleague. My colleague told me her bus had also arrived early a...

Gentleness

When I noticed this boy had been sitting on his own in the corner of the gallery for quite a while, I went over to him and asked him where his parents/adults were. He said he didn't know. After asking his age, I reported the matter to my duty manager.  My manager came down to chat to him to get more information about his mum.  She also asked security and all staff to look out for her.  When the boy's mum finally turned up, my manager came to speak to her. She told the boy's mum that we were worried about her son being left alone and she should not leave him on his own next time. I was really impressed how gentle my manager was with the boy's mum. I wouldn't have been so gentle.  It got me thinking of the nine fruits of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. (Galatians 5: 22). I find it very easy to express joy, peace and even kindness, but I struggle with gentleness. Help me, Holy Spirit, to be gentle w...

The Cleaner

Before I started my shift at the galleries I had been designated to invigilate, I checked to see if everything was okay.  When I noticed this dark stain on the floor, I wondered if it was part of the floor or if something was stuck on it.  Maybe, I'll ask the cleaner to have a look later. I gave the matter no further thought and sat down to do some paperwork.  Suddenly, I noticed the cleaner walking towards me. I asked him to check what the stain was. He then used a tool he was carrying to scrape whatever it was off the floor. Considering there are so many galleries in that museum, only God could have inspired the cleaner to walk through the galleries I was looking after with exactly what was needed.  Thank you, God, for always working in, through and with me. ❤️  ----- Relevant Bible verse: "for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure." Philippians 2: 13

Autocorrect

When a new work colleague told me her name, which was Indian, I wrote the name phonetically in my phone notebook. After a few minutes I couldn't remember her name so I checked my notebook to remind me. I discovered autocorrect had changed the name to an English word that looked similar. I had to ask my colleague again what her name was.  At least, she did see the funny side to what autocorrect had done. 🤣 The autocorrect system reminds me of the carnal mind that all humans have inherited. That mind let's you experience what you believe or are constantly thinking about, not necessarily the real truth. In other words, as the Bible puts it: "For as he thinks in his heart, so is he." Proverbs 23: 7 As a born-again Christian, I am constantly renewing my mind with the word of God in the Bible.  Therefore, how I now experience the world is being filtered through my Christ mind which autocorrects carnal mind beliefs. I have the mind of Christ. ❤️ ----- Relevant Bible verses:...

God is Now

Whole I was thinking about what it means to live in the present moment of Now, where God's grace is constantly flowing, I went to the kitchen to check the pasta I was cooking. Zeus, our resident cat, was eating his food in there and  I accidentally stepped on his tail. When he cried out in pain, I said sorry and stooped down to pet him. The look he gave me was as if he was saying, "I know you didnt mean it. I forgive you." He then went back to his food. It was then I realised God was showing me exactly what it's like to live in the moment of Now.  A moment ago, which lasted a few seconds, Zeus was in pain. The next moment he was at peace and enjoying his food. A few days ago, I had a similar experience.  I had been working at an exhibition at this museum, which was attracting a lot of last minute visitors rushing to see it before it closed on the 1st of March. At one time, it was so busy in the gallery, we were only allowing a few visitors in at a time.   When i...
