Blessings:
* The Painting is an Oil Painting that I did of a Billabong in North West Australia.*
1 Thessalonians: 5 v 23.
May God himself,
the God of peace,
sanctify you through and through.
May your whole spirit,
soul and body be kept blameless
at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
*****
Only God our Father in Heaven is able to do this as we submit ourselves to Him.
Let us submit ourselves afresh each day to Him and receive His wonderful blessings.

The above is taken from the book: ‘Drink from the Cup’ of Heavenly Blessings. Here is the Link for it.
Do you think it is a good thing to submit ourselves to God our Heavenly Father each day?
What would we do if we did not acknowledge God each day? Where do we think our Blessings would come from if we did not believe in Jesus God’s Son and The Holy Spirit? Just think – when we have accepted Jesus into our lives, God our Heavenly Father showers Blessings on us, that we should not take for granted.
So what Blessings do we have then – could be our families, our food, our shelter, our finance, our health, our friends, our pets. We have so much to thank God for that it is a small thing to remember to thank Him and submit ourselves afresh each day to walk in the Love of God our Father in Heaven. He allows His Angels to guard us. The Holy Spirit to help and guide us especially when we ask Him to.
So, I praise my Heavenly Father for all my Blessings. How about you – I pray that you can do that too.

let us try to be wise in our hearts and our speaking.
Amen.

It’s lovely to see the light on this Painting above. It is one of my Oil Paintings.
Psalm 89 verse 15

who walk in the light of your presence,
O LORD

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)

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.

Have we Kind Heart.
The above Angel is a Pencil Drawing I did, it is used for the Cover of my latest Poetry Book. ‘Godly Verses’
Here is a Bible Verse for today:
Philippians: Chapter 3 verse 8
What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things.
I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ.
***
To lose all things often means that we must give up those things that we love and things that we love to do that are not worthy of God. They then have no hold on us, so that we can truly gain Jesus Christ as Lord in our lives. Is there anything that you need to let go of today that is accounted as an abomination to the Kingdom. i.e. idols, love of money, hate, anger, wrong friendships etc., etc., Ask God in your prayer time and He will show you so that you can become more pure each day in your heart.

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.

Do you like Comfort?
On the Wings of an Eagle let your Spirit Soar.
Psalm 34 verse 18
The LORD is close to the broken-hearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
***
We all get broken-hearted and crushed in our spirit at sometime during our lives here on this earth. Let us remember to come to God at those times, sit at His feet, give Him our burdens and He will comfort us by His Holy spirit, whom Jesus sent to be our comforter. Today if this is a day of any sort of burden for you, please know that God is very close to you.

What else can we say about comfort?
Sometimes it is nice to just have a cup of tea, that can be a comfort when we get a bit stressed with whatever is going on during the day.
We should make time to have some kind of comfort for ourselves …… that can be things that give us pleasure, maybe going for a walk, gardening, craft work anything that we are able to do and enjoy doing can be called a comfort I think. For myself I like to do ‘Oil Paintings, Water colours, Pen/Ink drawings – they can be called my comfort zone. Also the books that I write can take me out of the everyday world into the lovely world of writing.
Another kind of comfort is to curl up in bed when we are not feeling very well. That is a great comfort to lay there and pray for the sickness or painfulness to go away. As we lay there in our comfort zone it is a good time to pray for others who maybe in need of some prayer, then some of our discomfort goes away!
Remember – The Holy Spirit is our Comforter…… however – we do need to ask Him to comfort us and He will. Jesus sent His Holy Spirit to help us, guide us and comfort us. That is a marvelous thing to remember when we are in need of any kind of help or comfort.
Praise The Lord He can comfort us, wherever we may be in this world.

It is Good to Pray
Psalm 116 verse 1
I love The LORD, for He heard my voice;
He heard my cry for mercy.
***
What would my life be without you LORD, you are my life, you did hear my cry. I praise you LORD with all my heart and soul and all that is within me. Amen.
Taken from ‘Drink from the Cup’ Book. by. J.M.R. Larman.
It is good to start the day off with a prayer – because sometimes we seem to get so busy that we either forget or don’t get time to stop for a few minutes and think about things that we should pray for. What or who should we pray for then?
Well let us see – we need to pray for our own families so that our Heavenly Father would be kind enough to bless them. We can’t expect Him to do that unless we actually ask Him to. Also there are many things and people in this world that need help for healing, finance, the list goes on. So there is not a shortage of things to pray about.
One good thing to pray about is for the Town or City that we live in and the people who govern them. We cannot all be missionaries and to go to the underdeveloped countries to help – but in our own prayer time we can at least pray and ask God to Bless them.
My latest book is a Year book of small Daily readings from the Bible with a comment about the reading and can be useful especially for our own private time to read just a small piece from the Bible each day. Maybe while we have a sit down with a Cuppa ?
Here is the Link for the book….’Drink from the Cup’
God Bless You with the Love of The Lord Jesus and fellowship with The Holy Spirit today and always. Amen.
Speak Up for Others
Proverbs: Chapter 31 verse 8
“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute”
We do need to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves, especially the little children, the babies, the unborn that people want to abort. Speak up for those who cannot speak, pray for them , don’t let the devil have them. Pray for those in the world who are destitute, that they may come to know Jesus today.
Taken from the Book: ‘Drink from the Cup’
Well we do not just have to Pray for the Children of this world but as Proverbs: 31 v 8 says – we should speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves. I think that means for some of our family members, also people who are incapacitated, those who need help in their everyday living. Young people, old people, those who are too ill to talk or to ask for help.
Let us be the ones to Speak up for some of those that we know of and others we do not know but have heard of in some of the War Torn Counties in this World. If we cannot Speak out for any of those who are destitute and need of help, let us Pray for The Lord Jesus to raise up someone who can.

Are we Obedient?
Matthew: Chapter 1 verse 18.
This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph but before they came together, she was found to be with child through The Holy spirit.
***
Mary must have been a beautiful young woman spiritually to be so obedient to God saying yes to what He asked of her. How many of us can truly say that we are obedient to submit ourselves to the ways of The LORD? Dear LORD God I pray today that I may be more obedient to your voice and not to my own wants. In being obedient to you I know that you will be blessing me even more than I can ever imagine. Thank you for Mary the Mother of my Saviour – Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen.
I Pray that God will Bless us Today as we try to be more Obedient to Him – Our Father in Heaven, Jesus Christ His Son and to the Holy Spirit.
I hope you have a lovely Day today.
Christmas is a Special Time of the Year so we can Celebrate the Birth of Jesus.
