The Prodigal Daughter Returns

"Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." Romans 5: 1 "I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Hebrews 13: 5 ---- Christianity is not a religion, denomination, or theology. Christianity is man's personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ.  This means my relationship with God is constant wherever I am and whatever I am doing whether I am  being still, praying, praising God, reading the Bible, meditating on the Scriptures, in church, on public transport, at work, with friends, at home, browsing the Internet, taking a walk by myself and in my dreams.  That's what makes me a Christian and a woman of God. I give thanks to Jesus Christ, my Lord and Saviour, who is forever in and with me. ❤️

For a couple of years now, someone has been courting me. I have been keeping him at arms length as I've been very wary of getting into a relationship with him. A couple of weeks ago, I finally decided to take a leap of faith nd agreed to enter into a serious relationship with him. So far, so good! Windows 11 is alright actually! I should have downloaded it a long time ago on my laptop. They must have ironed out any issues they had. I bet you all thought I was referring to a bloke, didn't you? 😆

"That which is has already been, and what is to be has already been;" Ecclesiastes 3: 15 ---- I was telling my flatmate about a guy I was flirting with until I found out he was over 25 years younger than I, which put me right off him. "I'm not exactly Joan Collins," I said.  (JC's husband is 31 years younger than her). "You attract young men because you look so young," she said. "Another thing, he's non-Christian, which is a no-go area." "No point wasting your time on someone who doesn't share your values," she said. "That's the great thing I find about getting older - I can see the end in the beginning so I don't have to waste my time," I said. "That's a nice way to put it," she chuckled.  😆

At church weddings I have attended, Ministers often cite a passage in the Bible from 1 Corinthians chapter 13 about Love, Christ Love. It is that Love that sustains a marriage or any t. Romantic love, which is based on the ego, is transitory and has no power at all to sustain a long term relationship. I guess that's why my relationships have failed as I thought I was in love until I stopped feeling love. I still have a lot to learn about Love, which is not solely based on feelings, but on being and living  Love in every moment. 😊 This is what that passage says about love: Love is patient.  Love is kind.  Love doesn’t envy.  Love doesn’t boast.  Love is not proud.  Love is not rude.  Love is not selfish.  Love is not angry or irritable.  Love is not resentful. Love doesn’t delight in evil.  Love rejoices with the truth.  Love protects.  Love trusts.  Love hopes.  Love perseveres. Love never fails. (1 Corinthians 13: 4...

" 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 ---- With human relationships, if you have expectations, if they fulfil them, you are happy; if they don't,  you are disappointed.  When you have a relationship with God, you can never be disappointed as all his promises are steadfast and true for all time. That's why I have faith only in God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. ❤️
