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 the...

Gift Card

 While I was looking at how to send a gift card at the Amazon website, the doorbell rang. When I answered it, a man's voice said, "Amazon here!" It turned out he was delivering a package for our neighbour upstairs so I opened the door and let him in. I should have asked him for his assistance.  God really has a sense of humour. 😀

My Creepy Crawly Friend

While I was in the staff toilet, I noticed this tiny creepy crawly on the floor. (It wasn't a spider, ant or fly).  Anyway, I said hello to it. As it was crawling towards me, I stepped back, but it kept coming. When I moved sideways, it moved towards me. When I moved back, it moved towards me. After I finished using the toilet, I opened the door to let it out and told it I had to go back to work.  It got me wondering how the insect saw me. Why did it keep moving towards me? Maybe, it thought I was light. Well, Jesus did say we are the light of the world.  Nice to see someone recognises my light. 😀☀️ ---- Relevant Bble verses: “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." Matthew 5:14-16

In God’s Head

At this museum I was working at, I noticed this cute toddler walking ahead of his  mum, exploring that gallery. I said to his mum, "I wonder what's going on in his head?" "I have no idea," she said. "I'm sure it's really nice being in there." I loved that thought. I can imagine the baby's head is full of love and joy.  It got me thinking about what it's like in God's head. I believe in God's head, there is infinite love as He is love. Therefore, when God thinks about me, which He always is, He is thinking of me with love.  In the Bible, I can see how much God loves me and how He expressed His love by sending His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to die for me so I can have everlasting life with Him. (John 3: 16) Because of Jesus's sacrifice on the cross, God is constantly thinking: - how much He loves me;  - how to show His love for me; - how to express His love in and through me; - how to bless me;   - how beautiful and perf...

Two Types of People

Before I went to work, I decided to stop off at this shopping centre to buy some food for lunch. I had to go through one shopping centre to get to the one I wanted. The first centre has lots of heavy doors you have to push to get through. I was walking right behind this man. After the man pushed the first door, he left the door open for me. I also left the door open for the person behind me. He did the same for the second door and I made sure I left the door open for the person behind me. Ditto the third door. At the last door, although I was now about two seconds behind the man, he waited for me with the door open. I thanked him and left the door open for the person behind me. I then went to do my shopping in the other shopping centre. On the way back I walked through the doors for the disabled where you can push the button and it opens for you. I noticed this man on the other side  pushing the door and walking through. He didn't bother to check if there was someone behind him. Th...

Nine Lessons and Carols

Image
This evening, I attended the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols service. The church was packed full. I enjoyed belting out those Carols. "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" is one of my favourites.  I also love the nine Bible lessons.  I remember reading the 9th Lesson (John 1: 1-14) many years ago at a Carol service. I still remember those verses and they made me fall in love with the Gospel of John. It's wonderful to be reminded every year what Christmas is really about. Thank you, Jesus. ❤️

When I start wondering what to wear for work, I jazz things up a bit and wear.... more black. 😀 Thank God for uniforms and black outfits. ❤️
