Walking with God

Today, there was a thunderstorm, but I was indoors, thank God, working at this event. By the time I finished work, the storm was over. Later on the way home, I saw this beautiful rainbow. (See photo below) Reminder to self about the rainbow: Genesis 9:8-17 NKJV [8] Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying: [9] “And as for Me, behold, I establish My covenant with you and with your descendants after you, [10] and with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ark, every beast of the earth. [11] Thus I establish My covenant with you: Never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood; never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.” [12] And God said: “This is the sign of the covenant which I make between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: [13] I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant...

At this museum I was working at, I noticed a visitor carrying a tote bag with the words: "Who do you belong to?" I read the words out loud to her. She said the line was from a book they had both read, meaning the young man she was with. "Who do YOU belong to?" I said. "That's a very philosophical question we've been thinking about," she said.  I didn't say anything further, and walked away. To me, that's not a philosophical question at all. I know who I belong to:  God the Father, Jesus the Son and the Holy Spirit. When I finished my shift, I had a quick chat with a colleague. She said she'd noticed that since she got into her 50s, her body no longer operates the way it used to. She said she's going to have to change her diet and cut down on sugar and carbs.  She also said her older brother, in his mid-fifties, recently changed his eating habits and lost loads of weight. I listened silently to what she was saying, but didn't mak...

One of the greatest revelations I've received from the Bible is this verse: "We love Him because He first loved us." 1 John 4: 19 You mean we are not built to give out unconditional love? No, we can't give what we do not have.  We have to fill ourselves with God's love first before we can love and praise Him. We have to fill ourselves up first with God's love before we can give love to our spouses (if married),  children (if we have any), family, loved ones, work colleagues, pets, neighbours, nation, humanity at large, and the world around us.  Some people get burnt out because they keep giving to others, their career, etc and don't know how to fill themselves up. My flatmate's cat, Zeus, is a master at giving love after he's been filled up. When he needs filling up, he comes to us for cuddles and food. When he's ready, he will come and give love in his own cat way, sometimes, by simply keeping you company. Once he's given you enough attent...

I love taking photos of trees, which I have been sharing on a Facebook group for fellow lovers of trees. After taking another photo, I went to share it on that group, but there was a notice stating that the group had been paused and not allowing anyone to post or leave comments. We could still browse photos. On further investigation, I discovered that the admins of the group were leaving. Members were invited to apply for the vacant admin roles within a specific time frame or the group will be paused and deleted. By the time I saw that post, the deadline had already passed, not that I was interested in the admin role. I decided to create a folder to save my trees posts, as I didn't want to lose them. That Facebook group represents this world, where everything is temporal. You can't put your trust in that which is here today and gone tomorrow.   The folder I have created to store my posts about trees  represents Heaven where love is constant and eternal. I always have acce...

I have to say some of the supporting artists/extra TV and film roles I've had were hard work;  you are on your feet all day and repeating the same action over and over again. Some roles were very easy and fun like playing a passenger on a tube train. All I had to do was travel on the train, get off and repeat. Speaking of trains, the other day I was working on this old train from the 1930s on a special service running on this particular tube line from west to north-east London. My role was to make sure passengers were in the right carriage and then travel in the carriage with them ensuring there was no eating or drinking in the carriage. As the passengers were well behaved, I spent most of the hour engaging with passengers and listening to the expert volunteers sharing the history of that tube line. The interior of the tube was like being on a historical film set with "props" from the 1970s. I was shocked to see cigarette adverts. Then again, in the good old days, people ...

My spirit is like a sponge that is constantly absorbing God's Spirit.  When I meditate on the Word, my mind is like a sponge that is constantly absorbing the Truth of God, which I get to experience in my every day life. When I am still, I am  a sponge constantly absorbing all that God is. I am a sponge constantly absorbing God’s infinite love. ❤️ ---- Relevant Bible verses: "So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord."
