Truth is the Correct Answer

During my bus journey, I was meditating on God's love. After I got off the bus and was walking to work, I  notced this homeless person wrapped up in a blanket sleeping on the pavement.

That particular area of London has many people sleeping rough. The irony is it's in the west end which is full of  tourists and shoppers.

If God truly exists and He is love, how come there is so much lack and suffering in the world?   

I am reminded when I was studying maths at school.  After a maths test, our teacher would mark our papers.  In maths you either have the right answer or the wrong one. As I wasn't very good at maths, I constantly had red marks indicating I had the wrong answers.

The right answer represents truth and the wrong answer represents error. 

Back to the question about the homeless and suffering.

God is love.

The Bible states that God loved humanity so much that He sent His Son, Jesus, to die for all humanity in the past, present and future so they can be saved and have an eternal relationship with God and have everlasting life in Him. However, He allows us to choose whether to accept Jesus as our Lord and Saviour or reject Him.  That is the eternal truth that never changes.

So when I see homeless people, I remind myself that the correct answer is God is love and He loves everyone, including those homeless people. I then bless them with love. 

I know because God loves them, He is constantly inspiring people to help the homeless through charitable organisations that provide food, shelter, and various resources.   organisations. 

In the past I have done voluntary work for a homeless charity.  While I don't give money to the homeless, as I don't carry cash on me, I do buy food for people, if I am inspired to. 

Later when I came home and was chatting to my flatmate about the  homeless people I had seen, she said when she went shopping and wasn't feeling well, a homeless man asked her if she was feeling okay. She later gave the homeless man some money. 

Whatever error seems to suggest, they cannot change the truth that God is love and He care about all of us, even those who reject Him.

Truth is always the correct answer. ❤️

An Easy Day

Image
Before I went to work at this museum, I thanked God for an easy, fun and wonderful day. Half of my time was spent working in the gallery, where I was invigilating, and in the shop serving customers.  Although it was really busy with a constant flow of visitors and kids, I found it easy as God was working in me and through me My work colleagues were also very nice and helpful and I enjoyed working with them. I also enjoyed chatting to the parents and their kids. While I was tidying up an area of the gallery, I found this soft toy and I gave it to a colleague to look after. Later, I saw this boy sitting in the cafe with his mum and sister. I noticed he was carrying the toy I had found in the gallery. I told him I was glad he got his toy back. I asked him how old they were, he was six years old  and his sister was ten. The boy said his birthday was on the 27th December. I told him my nephew's birthday was also on that day. How amazing is that? At the end of the shift, our duty ma...

About Availability

"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." ----- Last night I dreamt about my ex-boyfriend who is now a very good friend. In the dream, I was upset with him for not being there for me and forgetting my birthday.  When I woke up, I thought the dream was really silly.  Why would I care whether he forgets my birthday?  Besides, even though, we haven't been together for almost 10 years, he always remembers my birthday. This morning, I received a text from the same friend. He told me he recently had a minor operation and was recuperating at home.  He asked if I was available to visit him. I told him I was busy doing my laundry, but I could visit him in the afternoon, as he only lives about half an hour away from me by bus. He asked me to visit the next day instead if I was still available. Now it made sense why I had had that nonsense about my friend. I guess when you've known someone for 30 years, you're bound to be able to pick up on their vibe...

Bananas

Image
 A few days ago while I was grocery shopping, I wondered if I should get some bananas, but I decided not to as they don't last long. That's why I only buy a banana when I fancy one in that moment.  I got red grapes instead which last a lot longer. Yesterday, I didn't see my flatmate as I was already in bed by the time she got home. This morning when I went in the kitchen, I noticed my flatmate had left a note on the kitchen top for me to have these two bananas. I immediately gobbled one up. Thank you, God, for providing my bananas through my flatmate. ♥️ Photo of the note and bananas 😊
