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.

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.

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?

I Pray that you have a lovely day today, maybe considering what is in your heart.
Let there be Love in there for The Lord Jesus and let The Holy Spirit guide you today and always.
God Bless 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.
Love Disciplines (Corrects) !
Proverbs 13 verse 24
He who spares the rod hates his son
but
he who loves him is careful to discipline him.
***
This does not mean that we should go about hitting our children with a rod until they cower before us. It does mean that we must discipline them in a way that they will understand not to do that bad thing again.
As children of God did you know that God disciplines us?
Because He loves us He is constantly correcting us, that is how it should be with us and our natural children.
They must not be allowed to do just as they like, when and how they like, neither can we in God’s Kingdom.
Today let us rejoice that Our Father in Heaven loves us so much that He disciplines us with love.

May God continue to Bless you and your family with Love 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.

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.

I Pray that you have a good Day Today.
Should we Speak for Others?
Proverbs: 31 v 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.
The above is taken from the book ‘Drink from the Cup’ here is the link if you would like to see the book. It is a daily devotional that can be used year after year.
***
So – what can we say to make things better for someone today….. well we could say ‘hello’ and ask how they are. Or we could speak to them on the phone, ask how they are and also maybe ask if they would like us to pray for anything special that they need. We can therefore speak up for them in regard to a prayer….. many people are not sure how to pray….. how to ask God our Heavenly Father for whatever they may be in need of.
Many, even some Christians are not sure if they can ask God for something for themselves.
They pray for others but feel they don’t like to ask for themselves.
However in the Bible it says ask and you will receive…..that of course is if you know Jesus as Lord of your life….. i.e. that you have invited Him into your heart.
We can speak out and ask for other peoples needs. Also remember we can ask someone else to pray for us.
In the world we need to speak up in our communities, our towns, our villages when we see a need that others cannot speak up about. That is another way we can look after each other, wherever we live.
* I hope you have a lovely day today with your family and friends *

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.

*May God Bless you today….. Have a Lovely Day.*

*Love is to Share *
1 Corinthians: Chapter 13 verse 1.
……. but if I have not love,
I am only a resounding gong
or a clanging cymbal.
***
Imagine being empty and sounding like a clanging cymbal,
we do need to be filled with love,
the kind of love that only Jesus can give us.
To receive His love so that we can give it out to others
we really must want the Love of God Our Heavenly Father
and of Jesus Christ His Son to be in our hearts.
By the Holy Spirit we then can share the Love of The Lord.

Just a short message today but –
* I hope you have a lovely Day Today *
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 *
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)
