Walking with God

A week ago, while I was travelling on the Elizabeth Line, which goes via Heathrow Airport, I wondered if it stopped at all the terminals. On the train this morning, I sat in front of this couple. They were chatting about places they were going to in London. I asked them if they were on a day trip to London. They said they lived in a town outside of London and were going to meet their son who was taking them to some tourist attraction I'd never heard of.  They asked me if I was going to work and I said I was. I said after I get off the train, I was going to catch the Elizabeth line. I asked them if they had ever used that line. The man said as he has an office in Europe, he often travels on that line to Heathrow Airport to catch his flight.  I asked him if the Elizabeth line goes to all the terminals. He said no, you have to catch the tube to the other terminals. Before I got off, I wished my friends well. A week ago when I had that random thought, I could easily have looked up...

As I'm off today, I decided to attend a service at a local church. There was someone there with a dog, a little terrier. That's the first time I've ever seen a dog in a church. It was very well behaved.   I notced the dog didn't go forward for communion. He probably would be whining if he was offered wine. 😊

While I was browsing this news website on my phone, I noticed an article about this celebrity. The first few lines described him as a "mixed race, university drop-out, born into poverty." At that point, I lost interest and stopped reading. In the world, your identity is based on what you look like, your cultural heritage, your circumstance and your worldly achievements. How the world sees me is not my identity, my identity is based on my relationship with Christ as follows: I am a child of God. I am a citizen of the Kingdom of God. I am the righteousness of God in Christ. I am complete in Christ. I am the light of the world. I am an ambassador of Christ. I decided to attend a local church near home, which  I've only been to once before. The sermon was about how our identity changes when we accept Christ as our Lord and Saviour.  After the service, I spoke to the lay-preacher and told her I had been thinking of my identity in Christ. She said she was glad God was confirmin...

When the cursor got stuck on my laptop screen, I had no choice but to keep pressing the on/off button until the laptop was switched off. When I switched it back on, the screen didn't come back on. After switching it off and on several times and nothing happened, I asked God to sort out the issue. I switched it off, left it alone for a while and switched it back on. Still nothing. I decided to look up on the Internet to see if anyone has had the same issue. Someone suggested to keep pressing the on button for about 15 seconds.  After pressing the button for about 5 seconds, the laptop came back to life. It got me thinking:  If I can believe and follow instructions on the Internet from fallible humans, I can easily believe and follow God's instructions in the Bible, which are infallible and unchanging. Thank you, God, for giving us Your Word. ❤️ ----- Relevant Bible verses: “God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He n...

I've been a huge fan of Star Trek, which I've been watching since I was a kid. We are both celebrating our 60th year this year. As I see it, Star Trek represents accepting differences including race, politics, religion, cultures, philosophies, which is a noble view.  Some of the humanoids in the series even have interspecies relationships like a Ferengi falling in love with a  Cardassian. (See photo below). In the real world, my real world, I have friends who have different viewpoints and I accept their points of views.  However, when it comes to my inner circle, I prefer to fellowship with brothers and sisters in Christ i.e have a relationship with Christ and be God-centred.   When it comes to relationships, in the past I have dated men based on race, cultural values or shared interests, but they haven't worked out because the spiritual core was always missing. It was like dating someone from a different dimension and the other was always trying to pull me into...

 At the bus stop, I noticed five boys in school uniform. They looked around 11 or 12 years old. I reckon they'd just finished school for the day. One boy came over to me and said, "Madam, would you like some chips?" "No, thank you," I said. He probably had bought some chicken and chips and he couldn't finish the chips. The boy went back to hang out with his friends. He looked like he was offering his friends his chips, but there were no takers. After a while, my friend approached the bin near me. Just before he threw the chips in the bin, he looked at me and said, "Are you sure you don't want any?" "No, thank you. You're very kind." No kid has ever offered me their leftover chips before. How sweet! ❤️
