The Prodigal Daughter Returns

"In Your presence is fullness of joy ." Psalm 16: 11 --- Someone told me I seemed very happy and I must be enjoying my job. I told him my mental state has nothing to do with my job, which is actually very challenging.   I wasn't inspired to go into further details. I believe there is a difference between human happiness and Joy Human happiness comes and goes. When things are going well, you're happy; when they're not, you're miserable. However, the Joy of the Lord stays with you whether things are going well or not. Nothing can take away my Joy, which is a gift from God. ❤️

"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service." Romans 12: 1 ---- I believe every moment I call on God for help or acknowledge His Presence, I am possessed by the Holy Spirit who works in and through me. Here's one example. When a fly came through my open bedroom window, I asked it to go out, but it kept flying around. So I  After about a minute, I couldn't take the buzzing anymore so I thought, God, please let this fly out! I then opened the window a lot wider and pulled the curtain out of the way. "Come on!" I pointed to the open window. The fly went out. As it was leaving, I could have sworn I heard the fly say, "Thanks, Sue!"  Have a nice day, Mr Fly! 😆

"In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." Proverbs 3: 6 ---- So I went to this particular store to buy a birthday gift for a friend. What should I get her? I thought about getting her a gift voucher.  I know, I'll get her some beauty products! At the beauty department, I found a lovely pack of hand wash and lotion, which I thought she would like. On the way to the cashiers, I had a thought it wasn't right. After replacing the package back on the shelf, I asked myself, Lord, what should I get my friend? I had a thought about getting her a gift voucher. I remembered my friend had told me she had bought her trainers from a branch of this store. She obviously shops in this store so she can buy what she likes with the gift voucher at her closest branch. I then went to the cashiers to get the gift voucher, but there was a long queue there. I decided to try the cashiers at the men's department.  Other customers seem to have had the same idea as ...

A few years ago, I got chatting to this woman on the bus. She told me she was a Christian and we exchanged phone numbers. I also gave her my Facebook username for her to connect when she was ready. For a few weeks, we chatted via text. One day, I received a text from her to let me know that she had been reading my posts on Facebook and she thought I was demonic. She told me to never contact her again. She even blocked my number. At the time, I thought she was deluded. Surely if I was demonic, I wouldn't be following Jesus's teachings in the Bible. Oh well, her loss, not mine! I remember texting a friend about this and he told me that maybe it's because I think so different from a lot of people. He assured me I wasn't demonic and told me not to worry about it. Although I  tried to put that Christian woman's accusation out of my thoughts, something inside of me wondered - what if  she was right and I am the one who is deluded and being deceived? During the C*vid lockd...

Last night I had a dream  I was reading the book of Isaiah in the Bible.  All I kept seeing were  the words: Restoration,  Restoration, Restoration. ------ Father God, thank you for restoring all that was lost and stolen in Jesus name. Amen! ❤️

 Reminder to self: "For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." 2 Corinthians 5: 21 ---- Imagine treating yourself to a nice meal at a fancy restaurant. After you've finished your meal, you ask for the bill. The maitre d' tells you your bill has already been taken care of. "But that's impossible!" you say. "No one knew I was coming here!" "Someone has paid for your meal, madame, including the gratuity," he says. "There's nothing for you to pay." You now have a choice. You can accept this free gift and be grateful to your anonymous donor or you can refuse their gift and insist on paying for the meal as you don't accept charity. This metaphor represents Jesus' sacrifice for mankind. His blood has paid for man's salvation for all time.  As a believer, I have two choices.  1. I can receive salvation by faith through Jesus Christ;  or  I can reject salva...

"My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart; For they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh." Proverbs 4: 20-22 "But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.." Isaiah 53: 5 "...who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed." 1 Peter 2: 24 ---- While me and my fellow supporting artists were waiting to be used on set, I was chatting to my friends. I then noticed I was losing my vision signifying a migraine attack, which I haven't had in a long time.  I didn't say anything. When my friends went outside, I sat quietly on my own to pray with my eyes closed.  I reminded myself that when Jesus, whom I have accepted as my L...
