Today it took longer than usual to get to church. While I was waiting for my last bus, I asked God to get me there on time as I hate being late. When I got on the final bus, it was 10.55 am. As it only takes about two minutes by bus, I knew I would get there exactly at 11 am. At the next stop, the bus driver announced the bus was on diversion. "I give up! I'm definitely going to be late now," I said out loud. An elderly lady siting near me told me she and her husband were also late for the Catholic church they were going to. "I'm sure God won't mind," I said. I spent the duration of the journey chatting to my friend. By the time I got off the bus, it was about 11.10am. I noticed a van driving by with the company name - Godward. Later, the Minister preached about repenting and moving toward God. In other words, moving Godward. I was never late, I was so on time, God gave me a preview of today's sermon. Nice one, God! 😊❤️
Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.." Lamentations 3: 22-23, NKJV "I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation." 1 Corinthians 6: 2, NIV "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever."

We follow Jesus's teachings and accept His salvation from 2,000 years ago and we draw inspiration from men and women of God who lived thousands of years ago. It just shows past, present and future are choices of mental focus. In other words, I get to choose where I put my focus. So I choose to focus on Jesus's salvation and teachings in the Bible from the past and receive them now. I choose to celebrate all the good that God has done for me in the past and is doing for me in the pre...
(Previously posted on Facebook on 31.5.2022) "Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord." Jeremiah 23: 24 ---- When I wanted to use my headset Jack adapter for my phone, I couldn't find it. I looked under both duvets, underneath my pillows, under the bed, in the bin, my handbag and still nothing. By then I was feeling upset and giving myself a stomach upset. I then reminded myself that nothing is ever lost to God and He knows where the adapter is. I asked Him to either reveal to me where it is or to put it somewhere I can see it. I still couldn't let it go and continued my search and got more upset. I then had a thought that the more I think I have lost it, the more it will appear lost. I may not be able to see it with my physical eyes, but I can still see it with my spiritual eyes. It's not lost, I have found it. I decided to trust in Spirit to reveal it. I then calmed down and...
