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.

* Have a Lovely Comfortable Day Today *
Rejoice in your heart with Joy!
Psalm 118 verse 28-29
You are my God and I will Praise you;
You are my God and I will exalt you.
Give thanks to The Lord for He is Good;
His love endures forever.
Do you know that God’s love does endure forever..
God is our Father in Heaven.
If we belong to Him as Christians and have invited Jesus into our hearts, into our lives He is our Heavenly Father.
He will always love us even though we often ignore Him and take Him for granted.
*****
Actually God does love all the creatures that He has made.
But as humans we do need to acknowledge Him, talk to Him, listen to Him.
That would be through The Holy Spirit that we have within us when we become a Christian.
Here are some Links you may like to check out:
The Book of Prayers is written to help new (as well as other Christians) to pray for certain things and people. Some young Christians are not sure how to pray or what to pray for – so this book is a special help for them to pray specific Prayers.

True Stories of God Book talks about things that God has allowed to happen in my life. Hope you find it interesting.
I Pray that you have a good Day Today.
It’s Good to be a Christian
In the Bible Paul says .. in –
Romans Chapter 1 verse 16.
“I’m not ashamed of the Gospel
because it’s the Power of God
unto salvation to those who believe.”
***
If you are a Christian that is marvellous and I can say God Bless you.
If you are not a Christian and would like to be one here below is a way to become one.
If you do really mean that you would like Jesus to be with you – just repent of your sins – tell Him you are sorry for all the wrong things you have done throughout your life and ask Him to come into your heart (your life) and He will.
***
When we are Christians we have a direct line to God our Heavenly Father through Jesus Christ His Son. That is awesome, also we have The Holy Spirit in us to help us to pray.
If you are not sure how to pray it is good to pray The Lord’s Prayer. Which you can find in your Bible:
THE LORDS PRAYER.
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed by your Name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For the Kingdom, the Power and Glory are yours now and forever. Amen.

Keep Watch
Matthew: Chapter 24 verse 42
Therefore keep watch,
because you do not know
on what day your Lord will come.
***
How do we keep watch?
Well – I believe that to keep watch is to try to be ready,
to have our house in order.
That is to say – have our hearts prepared,
ready and waiting just incase it is today
– that Jesus comes.
The above us taken from the Book: ‘Drink from the Cup’
Here is the Link for this book: https://www.amazon.com.au/Drink-Heavenly-Blessings-straight-Bible-ebook/dp/B08F2YC95L/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=drink+from+the+cup&qid=1598250253&s=books&sr=1-4
You can use this book year after year. It has recently been republished to go on the internet – I have been using this little book daily for at least 20years and each day there is something special for us to read and to know. Praise The Lord!
Let us continue to prepare out hearts while we wait for Jesus to come back to this Earth, that means me as well. Let us get rid of all unholy things that are in there. Like jealousy, hate, gossip, bitterness, strife, lies, covetousness, the list goes on and on, lets get rid of them and Praise The Lord ! We should then be more ready if today is the day that The Lord Jesus comes for us.
None of us can live forever on this Planet Earth, let us enjoy our life while we are here – remember we have The Holy Spirit to help us to overcome whatever it is we need to overcome. We have the love of Jesus with us and we have our Heavenly Father who hears all our prayers.
So let us Rejoice for – This is the day that The Lord has made –
let us Rejoice and be glad in it.

What are Scoffers?
Jude: Verse 18
They said to you,
“In the last times there will be scoffers
who will follow their own ungodly desires”
***
Please help me today God not to follow my own ungodly desires. May your Holy Spirit guide me into all righteousness and truth. Amen.
‘Taken from the Book ‘Drink from the Cup’
***
Well what does it mean to be a Scoffer, what does it really mean in our lives today. In the Dictionary it says “to speak about something in a scornfully derisive way”
So that means if we ridicule a person or a thing we are being a Scoffer, that does not sound like a very nice thing to do, especially about our family members. Or if we ridicule our children or old people, people with disabilities i.e. deformities, deafness, failing eye sight, poor academic schooling.
As a Christian we can be free from being a Scoffer if we choose to not be one, therefore we need not follow our ungodly desires. It is difficult I know not to follow an unholy desire but we do need to think about these things. We need to realize that in Christ Jesus we have been set free if we choose to be.
So here is a Poem that I wrote because it is lovely to feel set free from awful worldly desires – even if it is only now and then that we can Pray this Poem as a Prayer to thank The Lord Jesus that He did come to set us FREE. !!!
I am Free
I am free, Praise The Lord I am Free.
How am I free, free to Laugh.
Free to Sing, free to Walk
Free to run, free to Pray,
Free to talk, free to eat
Free to drink, free to play
I am free, free – Free.
Yes Free to feel the Breeze on my face.
Free to feel the Sand on the Beach,
Free to Swim in the Ocean,
Free to appreciate the Sky
The Beautiful Sunsets.
Free to watch the Lightening in the Thunderstorms,
Free to hear the Thunder.
Yes I am Free to walk with Jesus – with God my Father in Heaven
Free to appreciate the Holy Spirit in my life
Free to receive all my Blessings
From our Heavenly Father.
Yes I am Free because
Jesus is my Lord and Saviour. Amen.

* I am Free to Praise The Lord *

Jessie.
May God Bless you Today and Always.
Love each other as Brothers
Hebrews:Chapter 13 verse 3
Keep on loving each other as brothers.
*
Today let us keep that commandment of God to love our Brothers as ourselves. How much more peaceful our day will be when we have no malice or hate in our hearts toward our Brothers and Sisters, just the love of The Lord toward them.
The above was taken from the book ‘Drink from the Cup’ Well – what do you think about loving others as Brothers and Sisters even those that are not very good towards you? I think it is good to pray and ask our Heavenly Father to help us to be nice to them.
Do you know that Jesus is our Brother, If we are a Christian we are part of Gods family, so if we are Brothers and Sisters in Christ that means that yes, we can all Jesus our Brother. That really is an awesome thought don’t you think?
Here is a link you may like to see of the Book that was written for my Family: https://www.amazon.com.au/Jessies-Story-Jessie-Larman/dp/0987207555
I Pray that you have a lovely day and can give a thought to your Brothers and Sisters whether they are Christians or not. How lovely to think of those that have gone before us to Heaven and think about them sometimes with love in our hearts for having known them as part of our family.
May God our Heavenly Father Bless us today as we walk with Jesus and The Holy Spirit.
Shall we walk in Love?
2 John: Chapter 1 verse 6
And this is love: that we walk in obedience to His commands. As you have heard from the beginning, His command is that you walk in love.
Please would you help me to walk in your Love today Lord! Amen.
Here is a Poem taken from the Book of ‘Verses’ by J. M. R. Larman
God’s Love
Can it be Lord, that you love me, as I sit and wonder about Eternity?
One day I should be there with Jesus my Lord.
Who, I know by your Angels God – is truly adored.
Almighty God, Ruler of the Universe, how can it be that you think of me?
Small and insignificant that’s who I am.
Yes, you sent your Son Jesus to rescue even me.
It is beyond my comprehension to consider these things.
So I shall sit in Your presence and pray to believe in your unconditional love.
Love full of peace. Love without Measure.
Poured down upon us, as we sit, stand or kneel,
in wonder and praise at your Glorious Presence
in Eternity.
I Pray that you have a Lovely Day Today walking in the Love of The Jesus and in Fellowship with The Holy Spirit *
It is Lovely to be Content
1 Timothy: Chapter 6 verse 6
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
***
To be content is something wonderful, we are to be content in all circumstances but most times we are definitely not! What do you think is the reason why we are not content? Could it be that we are not walking in godliness? I think that may be a lot to do with it. whatever is going on in your life today try to be content with what you have, try not to yearn for things that cannot be. Let us praise The Lord for what we already have.
Taken from the book ‘Drink from the Cup’ by J.M.R.Larman.
We are all individuals, all different as people, just as snowflakes are different but are still snowflakes. God made everyone according to a pattern. So we are made, according to a pattern. We are made in the image of God.
Well there we are then, we need to be content with being who we are especially knowing that God has made us to be who we are. So let us try to be content today in the knowledge that Jesus loves us and has sent His Holy Spirit to help and enable us to try to be content while we live on this Earth. Let us appreciate our Families and Friends, our Workmates, our Pets. Let us be content just where we are and then we can feel the peace of The Lord in our daily lives.
HAVE A LOVELY DAY * GOD BLESS YOU *
Walk in Love
2 John: Chapter 1 verse 6
And this is love: that we walk in obedience to His commands. As you have heard from the beginning, His command is that you walk in love.
***
Yes you are a God of Love and to love you means just what the above verse says – that we walk in obedience to your ways. We can only do that when we have invited Jesus into our lives and we live in your Kingdom on this earth. Praise you Heavenly Father that you enable us to walk in obedience today.
It may seem odd to think that to walk in Love with the Lord is to walk in Obedience to Him. The only way really that we can do that is to read our Holy Bible to see how! It is good to read part of the Bible each day – part of the New Testament of course but not to neglect reading part of the old Testament. Just a small bit each day is better than not at all. You could of course read one of the Psalms sometimes for something different to read. It is always special to find a quiet time during the day to sit and read even a few verses of a Psalm.
I hope you have a lovely day trying to walk in Love with your family and friends so that you know that you are walking in Obedience with God – because that shows that you Love Him our Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ our Lord and The Holy Spirit. (The Holy Spirit will help us to be obedient if we ask Him to)

Contentment
This is an Oil Painting that I did of The Good Shepherd
Philippians: Chapter 4 verse 11
I am not saying this because I am in need,
for I have learned to be content
whatever the circumstances.
*
Today is the start of a new month, let us endeavor to be content if we can this month in what ever circumstances we find ourselves. Let us rest in the knowledge and love of Jesus that He is with us everyday, comforting and guiding us by His Holy Spirit.
Taken from the book ‘Drink from the Cup’ by J.M.R.Larman.
The above Bible quote was spoken by St.Paul, so it would be good if we can follow his example and be content just where we are. I know that we all have problems and hope for better things to come sometimes. However that may take a while for our circumstances to change. But while we are waiting for things to change in our lives it is a good idea to appreciate the things we have.
We can appreciate having a roof over our heads, food, shelter, water, especially if we are blessed with a family, let us be content with having them in our lives.
Another thing that helps us to be content is if we have a Pet animal, we can be content that we are giving our Pet a good home, that can be a real blessing to our-self and of course to our beloved Pet.
When we can be content it is surprising what The Lord Jesus can do to encourage us with even more blessings that we ask for.
What about any talents that we have been given, are we using them to please God Our Father in Heaven? Even in our everyday work we can be content in doing it to the best of our ability – then we will be content at the end of the day that we have done our best in what ever circumstance we have found our-self.
This is one of my better photo’s – hope you like it.
May God – Jesus – and The Holy Spirit help you to be Content today.
