Perseverance!
A lovely photo of Morning Glory….. looking like trumpets in the photo. Have you ever felt the Petals they are so thin and soft to feel – just beautiful.
*****
James 1 verses 2-3.
Consider it pure joy, my brothers,
whenever you face trials of many kinds,
because you know that the testing of your faith
develops perseverance.
*****
We don’t usually face trials with joy do we? If only we could use our faith more in the difficult circumstances, persevere in faith and let God be in charge instead of ourselves, we would find life much easier. Maybe you are in a difficult situation today, remember the disciples – we must have faith even as small as a mustard seed. Let us not give up in the testing of our faith, don’t let the devil have the upper hand especially today.

If you are not a Christian and would like to be one, you could pray this prayer printed below.
Know that Jesus loves you and He would like to be part of your life if you would let Him. It is lovely to live with God our Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ His Son and with the lovely Holy Spirit. Then you would never be alone because they would be always with you. The Holy Spirit is our comforter, teacher and guide, we can talk to him day or night, when Jesus went back to Heaven He sent His Holy Spirit to be with us when we invite Himself Jesus into our hearts. If you already are a Christian you know this is true and I can say God Bless you today.

Compassion!
The above is a lovely arrangement of Flowers for an Art Exhibition that I had.
*****
Isaiah: Chapter 30 verse 18
Yet The LORD longs to be gracious to you;
He rises to show you compassion.
For The LORD is a God of justice.
Blessed are all who wait for Him!
*****
Thank you LORD that you are a God of compassion, please continue to have compassion on me and my family, especially today. Thank you for all your blessings to me. Amen.

Have you ever thought what the word compassion means? I looked it up and it says: to be sympathetic towards others when they are suffering from anything. Then to help them if you can.
In other words I believe it means to show Christian love towards that person whoever it is who maybe sad or lonely. Just a smile or a kind word may be all they need at the time. That really is showing compassion towards them. You may not need to do anything else at the time but what a blessing it can be to show someone that you care about how they are feeling.
Also we can pray for others – that God will bless them.
This next book is helpful and has prayers for different situations that you can use. You may like to look at the link which will tell you more about it. Also it is available from the Amazon site.
I pray that you have a good day today and that our Heavenly Father will have compassion on you, your family and love ones, also for me and mine.
God Bless you.
What do we Say?
My Oil Painting of a Billabong in North West Australia. The Rocks truly are that beautiful Colour.
Psalm 141 verse 3
Set a guard over my mouth, O LORD;
keep watch over the door of my lips.
*****
Sometimes I think it is a good thing to ask The LORD to put a guard over my mouth to stop me saying something wrong and then wishing that I had not said it. As Christians we must be very careful what we say to others so that we do not offend them because in doing so we offend God if we do not speak righteously. Today please God guard my mouth, the door of my lips and my speaking. Amen.

I do pray that you have a really good day today especially if you are a Christian. If not and you would like to be one please read and pray the above Prayer then let someone know that you are.
(So what do you say) ?
Prayer really becomes effective when you do speak out to someone that you have done so.
It is good to have God our Heavenly Father and Jesus His Son with us, also The Holy Spirit knowing that we are never alone. That our sins are forgiven and we can look forward to our heavenly home when our time on this planet earth comes to an end.
Can You do it?
The Painting is one of my Water Colour Paintings of somewhere along the Gascoyne River. North West Australia.

Philippians: Chapter 4 verse 13.I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
******
Do you know we really can! As long as we put our trust in Jesus, God will strengthen us day by day. Thank you LORD that you do strengthen us by your Holy Spirit who is in us. Amen.

Have you ever thought that you cannot do whatever it is you are thinking you would like to do? Then when you sit and Pray about it the solution comes and you are able do it. We forget then to thank The Lord that He does enable us and we carry on regardless, thinking that we can do it.
I think one of the lovely things to ask help for is for the Craft Work that we like to do, or the Computer work, we are not all gifted to be able to do everything that our friends can do. We are all made differently and have different gifts that The Lord has given us. From all the work that we do, it is good to ask for His help and give Him the Glory that He enables us to work and play.
Just think what gifts He has given you to use to help others in regard to the work that you do. I can thank Our Father in Heaven for allowing me to use the Computer, to do the Paintings and to write my books. I hope my work is helpful for someone now and in the future. I praise God that with the help of The Holy Spirit I am able to let God use my works to Bless others.

I Pray that you have a lovely day today knowing that with God’s help you can do it.
If it in accordance with His will.

How is your Heart?
The above is one of my better photographs, looking towards the Boats Harbour in Carnarvon, North Western Australia.
Psalm: 26 verse 2
Test me, O Lord and try me, examine my heart and my mind;
***
Have you ever asked The Lord to examine your heart and mind. It makes you wonder when He examines us what will He find? I think it best to try to have a look into our own hearts before we ever ask The Lord to take a look. Our minds are sometimes a minefield, full of things that they should not be full of. We best get rid of some of the awful things that seem to come into our hearts and minds before we ask God to examine them. Maybe best to start straight away! Let me see – have I let go of worry, anger? Oh dear seems a lot of rubbish in there that should not be there, how about you?

This is the Way !
The above Painting is one of my Oil Paintings – it looks so tranquil and peaceful with the lovely light showing through onto the water.
*****
St. John: Chapter 14 verse 6
Jesus answered, ” I am the way and the truth and the life.
No-one comes to the Father except through me“
—-
No other religion anywhere can go to God our Father in Heaven unless they accept Jesus Christ as Lord. We must invite Jesus into our hearts for our own spirit in us to be Born Again into the Kingdom of God. I praise The Lord that I have done that, what about yourself, remember today is a good day, if you have not already done so.

Let us Rejoice today and think of something nice to do for ourselves or for some-one else. Maybe get in touch with them on the phone, or invite them to come to us for a visit, just to have a Cuppa maybe nice for them to know that you care about them. Morning Tea, Afternoon Tea, Evening Meal or the phone call maybe just what someone needs from us today. I am sure God our Heavenly Father will Bless our efforts when we try to reach out to others.
You may like to see this ‘Book of Prayers’ it it one that help’s people to pray for different things. (It is a help you to pray book) Especially for new Christians and also for some of us older ones when we would like to pray to our Heavenly Father for different situations. We do know that Jesus sent His Holy Spirit to be with us and that He will help us to pray when we are not sure or too upset to find the right words to pray for whatever situation we may be in at the time.
May God Bless you during your Prayer time Today.
This comes with Love & Blessings.
Walk in the Light
It’s lovely to see the light on this Painting above. It is one of my Oil Paintings.
Psalm 89 verse 15
Blessed are those wo have learned to acclaim you,
who walk in the light of your presence,
O LORD
***
Dear LORD I acclaim you today – you are my God.
I love to walk in the light of your presence.
To feel your wonderful peace and love around me.
Thank you that you are my God.

***
You Asked if Jesus is God ?
Dear Child, You Asked if Jesus is God?
Well – God is our Father in Heaven and Jesus is His Son.
So – God is Jesus’ Daddy, the same as you have a Dad.
As Jesus is now in Heaven with God His Father,
He sent His Holy Spirit to be with us here so we won’t be lonely.
(He is the Spirit of Jesus Christ). We can talk to The Holy Spirit all the time,
whenever we want to. The Holy Spirit helps us to pray to God.
If we want God to be our Heavenly Father we have to ask Jesus to come into our hearts.
(Then – The Holy Spirit – comes in as well) We can then call Jesus Lord.
So we have:- God The Father, God The Son, God The Holy Spirit.
All Belong together: – Three in One – ( Three means Trinity)

Sowing Kingdom Seeds
This Flower is the Passionfruit Flower it was a photo taken in my garden. It has beautiful fragrant fruit which is very beneficial for us to eat. The meaning of the Flower is: – it illustrates the passion of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
John: Chapter 4 verse 37.
Thus the saying ‘ One sows and another reaps’ is true.
***
Lots of us are meant to be sowers of the seed, that is sowers of the Word of the Gospel of The Lord Jesus Christ. Have you sown any seed yet for The Kingdom? How lovely for God to have a harvest of our fruit from the seeds that we have sown? Let us begin to sow in readiness for a great harvest of souls.

Should we Grumble ?
The above is a Water Colour Painting looking across our River Gascoyne W.A. Australia that I painted. 5″ x 7″ = 19 x 24cm ……………………..Notice the Red Earth.
*****
Exodus: Chapter 16 verse 9
Then Moses told Aaron,
“Say to the entire Israelite community,
‘ Come before The LORD,
for He has heard your grumbling.’ “
*****
Even today do you know that The LORD can hear our grumbling? Yes He can! Let us try to get through the day without a grumble. Well, we can try and with the help of The Holy spirit – we could hopefully make it!
*****
Sometimes we seem to grumble a lot, especially when things don’t go right for us. Or when we don’t agree with our brothers, sisters, family and friends. It is difficult not to grumble when we are upset about something. But – if we can stop and think to Praise The Lord and ask Him to sort the problem out for us, it would make more sense than complaining about whatever the problem was or is.
No I am not that clever to think to ask The Lord for help sometimes when something does not go right as I think it should. Then after a time if we carry on with our grumbling, we need to repent and ask to be forgiven for what we have been grumbling about. Just think – when we are grumbling we do not have the Peace of the Lord do we? So the sooner we can stop complaining, make a cup of tea or do something nice we will feel better.

2 Thessalonians: Chapter 1 verse 11.
With this in mind, we constantly pray for you
that our God may count you worthy of His calling
and that by His power He may fulfil every good purpose
of yours and every act prompted by your faith.
***
I pray today that you will feel worthy to be called by God and will know what He wants you to do for Him today. As you walk in your faith, you will see things being fulfilled that you have been asking and seeking God for. Know that God sees you as worthy, because He has called you and you will know this if you have truly accepted Jesus as your Lord and Saviour.
