Walking with God

So I went to do a shift at this art gallery. The last time I worked there was about three months ago. As soon as this permanent staff saw me, he gave me a hug. He told me I had a glow and was looking lighter. "What moisturiser are you using?" he said.  "You know me, it's the Lord. He is my glow." Although my colleague seemed to accept what I had said (as he believes in God too, though he's a Muslim), later he asked me again what moisturiser I was using for my skin. I reminded him again about my faith in my Lord Jesus Christ. The same colleague once told me I was looking "snatched" for a woman my age. At the time, I had no idea what he was talking about as I don't speak GenZ. He told me it meant attractive. While I do use moisturiser, I believe my beauty comes from the Holy Spirit living in me. Thank you, God, for giving me Your beauty.  ❤️  ----- Relevant Bible verses: "Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit withi...

When I got on the tube with my rucksack and two  bags of grocery shopping, there were no seats available. The driver announced that the tube was being held on the platform for a few minutes. As more commuters got on the tube, I was feeling hot and bothered. I was actually standing in front of four men  - three young and one a lot older man  - who were sitting down, but none of them offered me their seat.  In the old days, men used to give up their seats for ladies. "Where is the kindness?" Finally, the tube started moving, though it stopped again in the tunnel for several more minutes.  When we arrived at the next station, someone got up close by and I was grateful to be able to sit down. Just before we approached the next stop, where I was getting off, I noticed this woman standing nearby. I grabbed her hand and beckoned for her to have my seat, as I was getting off. After I got off, I travelled up the two escalators. I had to walk down a set of stairs to catch...

I believe like all technology, AI is a tool that I can use to express and share the love of God. I asked a gpt app to create an image of me being loved by the Lord. (I provided a photo).  This was what came out. (See photo below) I love it.  Jesus loves me. ❤️ ----- Relevant Bible verses: "He who does not love does not know God, for God is love." 1 John 4: 8 "We love Him because He first loved us."

In the news, there's a story about this Australian family (a mother and her three children) whose paddleboards and kayak were swept out to sea. The mum asked the eldest (13 year old) son, Austin, to swim 4km to get help. According to news reports, the boy swam for four hours, then ran 2 km to the nearest phone to get help. His family was then rescued. While the newspapers have been portraying the boy as a hero, I've been wondering whether the boy believed in God. In the attached video, Austin is describing what he was thinking of while he was swimming.  "I was thinking of all my friends at school, friends in my Christian youth." (6.29) Aha, Austin mentions "Christian youth" which means he has been brought up in the Christian faith. At 9.43 of the video, Austin continues,  "I don't think it was me that actually did it. I was thinking of God the whole time. I kept on praying, I kept on praying and I said to God, "I'll get baptised, I'll g...

 (Previously posted on Facebook on 4.2.2023) "Bless the Lord, you His angels, who excel in strength, who do His word, heeding the voice of His word." Psalm 103: 20 “Awake, you who sleep, arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light.” Ephesians 5: 14 ---- Many years ago when I was into the New Age, there was this obsession  about seeing 11:11, which I noticed quite a lot.  The belief among "light workers" was that whenever you see these numbers, it's a reminder from the angels to wake you up from your spiritual "sleep." As a believer in and follower of Christ, I know real angels of God do not operate that way, they act only on God's Word. (Psalm 103: 20)  So where did the belief in 11:11 as a sign to wake up come from? Well, in the Bible (Gospel of John chapter 11), Jesus is sent a message that his dear friend, Lazarus, is sick. Jesus waits several days before he decides to visit Lazarus (who by then was now dead and buried). This is what Jes...

Usually when my flatmate's cat, Zeus, is ready to come back in and the windows are shut, he sits outside and waits for one of us to let him in.  (We don't have a cat flap). One day Zeus had a cat brainwave: "I can make myself look bigger and more conspicious by sitting on the fence. That would grab my humans' attention." The first time I saw Zeus sitting on the fence, I was so startled I thought it was a black panther. Then I realised it was our little black panther, Zeus. Before going out, I went into the kitchen to get some drink. I noticed the local stray cat I have named Loudmouth sitting on the fence. He'd obviously been studying Zeus and thought he would mimic Zeus's behaviour to get our attention. While Loudmouth did get my attention and I took his photo, I had no intention of letting him in as he is a stray cat. When Loudmouth started coming round (after he had obviously been abandoned), I was going to call the local animal shelter to find him a ne...
