Near

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed.” Psalms‬ ‭34‬:‭18‬ ‭NLT‬‬ My God is urgent in solving my former life in readiness to my move to Nepal next Monday. All finance is being released. Praise God! Today I had a phone call from the real estate office who handled my rental for the last 9.5 years. They are releasing my bond and wanted my bank account. Praise God! I was able to purchase reasonable travel insurance for the time there. I went to a local Gp to have a sunspot burned off on my lip. I was in and out in 15 minutes and did not have to pay as they billed bill and I am covered by Medicare . Praise God! He is good! Amen!

Close

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed.” Psalms‬ ‭34‬:‭18‬ ‭NLT‬‬ In brokenness we can feel nobody loves us and that no one is there, however, if we dare reach out to our God, He is there. He has been there for me when I stretched forth my hand.  The gospels tell us that Jesus had compassion on the lost and broken, He was there to heal, comfort and deliver. We are His servants, His vessels. We cannot avoid the brokenness of others in selfishness. What is our mandate today? Who can we bring healing to today? Lord May our ears and eyes be open to that you want us to heal. Amen!

As I have loved you

“This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you.” John‬ ‭15‬:‭12‬ ‭NLT‬‬ How has Jesus loved me? With tough tenderness. He has very firm boundaries and refuses to spoil me, yet, He constantly surprises me with His goodness and grace, forgiveness and love. On Sunday the preacher talked about the discipline he received at the hands of his father and he talked about Mr Spoon. My son and daughter knew of my wooden spoon also. They were  told of my love before a spanking, but I also addressed their bad behaviour. After the spanking they were held close and knew my love. My God holds me close and refuses to give me my lusts and wants. He constantly tells me, “you have all you need”. He prepares a table for me in the presence of my enemies. I do have all I need. Amen!

The same way

“This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you.” John‬ ‭15‬:‭12‬ ‭NLT‬‬ If we are to love as Jesus loved, we need to know how He loved, and to do that we need to read the gospels with eyes wide open.  Jesu first loved the Father and spent time with Him each day, He was finding out what the Father was doing each day. I need to find out what God is doing and asking Him to use me and place me right where I need to be. It is amazing that if we ask for divine appointments, we will receive them. The Father has need of us to touch hearts and minds for Him. Be available! Amen!

Believing in my heart

“If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭9‬ ‭NLT‬‬ We can say the right things, make all the right noises but live in fear when Satan roars. What we do in that time is determined by what we believe. Satan is roaring at present and I must take him out with the word of God: if God be for me who can be against me? (Romans 8:31). My Heavenly Father is for me; Jesus my Saviour is for me and the Holy Spirit who lives inside me is for me. Three to one, I’d say that was a majority.  Tonight I had the young man, who is buying my car, call and try to beat me down a thousand dollars. He told me his family called tonight and asked for money and now he does not have the full amount. However, when I did not budge he asked if I would say the car was less than he is buying it for on the official form that goes to the government and I said “that is illegal”. He agreed to pay me the full amount tomorrow n...
