Thank you Lord for this time of rest and holiday 🙏

It’s important isn’t it to be thankful ? X

“Thank You, Lord,” even for the smallest blessings.

The breath we woke up with.
The strength to get through the day.
The food that will be on our table.
The peace we didn’t have to force.

It’s often in the simple, ordinary moments that God is quietly taking care of us isn’t it?

Gratitude doesn’t wait for big miracles—it recognizes daily grace ☺️💕🙏

“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

(1 Thessalonians 5:18)

So I’m trying to pause more often. Notice more often. Thank Him more often ☺️🙏

Prayer 🙏

Lord,

open my eyes to see Your goodness in every detail of life.

Teach me to be grateful not only your grand blessings but also in small, everyday blessings.

Keep my heart humble, content, and always aware of Your faithfulness.

Amen 🙏

Some wise words this morning from Paul Pontain our Lancashire Christian Police officer leader ;

So many things about our lives are uncertain.

This one thing, however, is sure: no matter where, when, or how long, God will be there and will be with us and will be for us.

He is the "I AM" - the one "who is, and who was, and who is to come" - of every past, present, and future moment (Revelation 1:8).

He will not forsake us (Hebrews 13:5-6).

We will never be separated from His love for us in Jesus (Romans 8:38-39).

Because God existed before anything was made (John 1:1-3), we can trust He will be with us when this form of creation ends, and when He ushers us into our eternal home with Him forever.

‘Hold fast, dear child of the eternal God, our Father has all of us, His children, in His "everlasting arms" (Deuteronomy 33:27-28).

Prayer...🙏

Everlasting Father,

I find great comfort in knowing that I cannot be in a place or time where you are not.
Stir my courage through your Spirit, that I may be bolder because of your power and presence.
Help me to share the Gospel of Jesus with boldness, yet with gentleness and respect (1 Peter 3:15-16), with those who need your hope.
In Jesus' name I pray.

Amen.

What’s this Christianity thing REALLY all about???!!!

Here it is in simple terms :

The Gospel 📖is the message of GOD ( how amazing!🤩) that leads to Salvation ( being ‘saved’).

In that message, it gives answers to the most fundamental questions about WHO we are, and who GOD is, primarily , that GOD is Holy 😇, and loving 💕, and is our Creator.

And about US, that we are NOT God, though we WERE created to be in fellowship 🤝with Him.

Like it or not , here is the tough message; WE have broken 😩that relationship through sin ( I always think of the ‘I’ in the middle of that word- sin is often I need ,I want, my rights, I deserve, ) so we are SEPARATE from a pure and Holy 😇 God.
We are created in His image, but are sadly 😔fallen and sinful.

God loves us so much 💕that as a CONSEQUENCE of this, He sent Christ ( Jesus) , His Son , to be a WILLING SACRIFICE for our sins ( including yours and mine in the past, present and future) on the cross ( what EASTER is all about) so that through this act ( Jesus’death), we could be reconciled to God who can offer us mercy and forgiveness.

Because Jesus rose from the dead , defeating death ( thankfully we will never have a glass monument to visit with Jesus body in it …. Phew!) and He ascended to heaven, he not only reconciled us to God, but he made death 💀 a doorway 🚪 not a wall - a doorway to eternity ( heaven). Through Jesus we can return to fellowship with God ! ( phew!😥).

Jesus sent the Holy Spirit 🔥🕊️to be our councillor and guide as we follow Jesus in this life . An incredible supernatural gift that when we build a relationship with Jesus we can tap into !

Therefore, it’s up to each one of us to make a decision :

Go it alone, and face up to your own sins after this life ( knowing only the pure can enter heaven, and risking TOTAL SEPARATION FROM GOD ) ie “ going it alone “ ……

( big note to self - we DONT get to heaven through being ‘more good than bad’ like most people think - that’s NOT what the Bible ever says …. We DONT ‘earn’ our way there! - we are gifted the entry when we ask Jesus into our lives . Recognising what Jesus did for us on the cross is why we change to try to be better people - try to be more like Him … but it’s a journey - even now we ( you and I ) keep failing- so I’m so relieved it’s not on MY merit that I earn a place!

……Or :

Take the offer . The amazing , FREE , hard earnt ( by Jesus) GIFT OF GRACE .
We Allow Jesus to ‘robe us in His righteousness’ to cover our sins so that GOD only sees Jesus’righteousness when He looks at us !

To do this :

🙏We Repent of our sins ( be sorry and recognise we can’t make heaven drowning in them)
🙏Turn to Christ ( put all our faith in the resurrected Lord Jesus who died for us and rose again)
🙏Follow Him all the days of our life, trying to be a person who loves God and loves others .

So …. Are you going it alone or accepting the grace of a God who loves you enough to die for you?

Jesus says “ I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me “.

Do you believe him, or are you going it alone, because you have it all worked out?

Inviting Jesus into your life is incredible , not just for the next life, but for this one 🙏☺️

Reach out if you can see the truth in these words , because no one else will give you a truer explanation of your life and death than the GOSPEL MESSAGE does x

I pray 🙏 these words soften your heart 💓 and that the boulders that are blocking your path ( none of which are to do with Jesus) are removed .

Amen 🙏 ☺️
