Bloodshot Eye Healed

After I finished having a shower, I looked in the mirror and noticed one eye was red and bloodshot. I covered my eye with my hand and thanked God for my healing in Jesus' name. Although my eye still looked the same, I knew it was already healed. I then got ready as I had to pop out to the shops. On the way, I bumped into a friend. While we were chatting, she looked at my eye and asked me what was wrong. She said it looked like I had a certain condition. I told her I only noticed it this morning, but God is healing me. She then wished me well. I knew my friend meant well, but I didn't want to take on board her judgement so I reminded myself of the following Bible verse: "No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord." Isaiah 54: 17 After a few hours, my eye was back to normal. That was yest...

God is Love

"He who does not love does not know God, for God is love." 1 John 4: 8 ---- On my way to work at the theatre, I stopped off at the local supermarket to buy some tights, as my legs were freezing underneath my trousers. They didn't have any. I decided to try another supermarket. On the way, I was fascinated by the grittiness of the neighbourhood and decided to take some photos. After a while, I realised I was walking in the wrong direction. "Why didn't you stop me, Lord?" I said. "Because you were having so much fun taking photos," He said. I could feel Him smiling at me. After backtracking, I found a supermarket that sold the kind of tights I was looking for. I believe God has given me His love for particular things I enjoy doing like taking photos; my love for these particular theatres that I work in; and my love for chatting to people which I get to do at work. Interestingly enough, I noticed the word "Love" on a wall, which sym...

The Conductor at Work

"Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, the power and the glory, the victory and the majesty; For all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and You are exalted as head over all.12 Both riches and honor come from You, and You reign over all. In Your hand is power and might; In Your hand it is to make great and to give strength to all." 1 Chronicles 29:11-12 ----- While I was working this evening, I had an opportunity to watch the London Philharmonic Orchestra with Canellakis conducting Shostakovich. It was very intense but I enjoyed it. What I enjoy the most about all orchestras is watching the conductor at work.  In order for the orchestra to be of one accord, they need to let the conductor lead the way and this involves surrender, humility and trust on their part. In the same respect, I believe Christ is the Conductor of my life. However, I need to submit to Him and trust in Him to conduct my life and everything that concerns me. I  can't say i...

Doing Everything with the Lord

"Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts." Zechariah 4:6 ---- I've been meaning to register my Oyster card online so I can have evidence when it comes to claiming travel expenses. Today, I decided to register my Oyster card at the TFL website. I created an account and added my details and my secret answer and authenticated my identity.  After I added my Oyster card number, it asked for the answer to my secret question. After I answered, it didn't recognise it. I decided to log in again. This time, the computer didn't recognise my password. For crying out loud! I decided to call the helpline. Before you can get to the customer adviser, you have to get through the annoyimg gatekeeper. 😊 After I pressed the option that applied to me, I waited patiently for my call to be answered. I usually can't stand the music they play while you're waiting, but I remained calm. Finally, I heard the phone ringing which meant my call was about t...
