In a Low

Did you think I was this super spiritual person, who sees God at work in everything and glides through life on a silver cloud, never perturbed by anything? Well that is not me.  I have to work at seeing the truth that God is indeed at work in everything, and at times I feel low and depressed.  Life isn't a bowl of roses and some times are harder than others.  We are all living in hard times the world over, but we in the West have to realize that we are still far better off than many in the third world.  Many of them have no prospect of a ventilator if they become ill.  My problem comes from getting very cold two days ago.  I hadn't realized how cold it was in the garden and by the time I went indoors I needed to put on a heavy fleece and to have a hot water bottle on my lap.  I began to think I might have a chill and that perhaps I was laying myself open to catching the corona virus.  I am used to short bouts of depression. But it makes me wonder how others are coping.  so many people have seemingly insurmountable money worries at this time.  We have had our lives turned upside down.  Now is the time to think about God.  What is He saying to you? Have you lived your life thus far without Him in your planning for the future? Now is the time to realize that God will not be left out.  Now is the time to repent and turn to Him for forgiveness in Jesus. If you find Him you will find a future infinitely better than the one you had planned.

Denial Over Corona Virus

When something very nasty comes our way we can only take in some much of the horror of the situation and then our minds protect us by putting us into a state of denial.  It's all very well sitting cozy in the middle of a storm, but by doing that you can put others at risk.  It is tempting to think that the corona virus situation is not real and won't touch you and your family, to think that somehow the heads of state who appeared so lately to be at loggerheads are in fact manufacturing the whole thing for their own purposes.  Just see how the mind wants to divert us from the awful truth. Do you realize we could be on the point of the total collapse of civilization? That's why people panic buy because inside they realize food production and distribution could break down.  Of course the little store they have been able to stash away will not last long. Deny us our food and we turn into much nastier human beings, well no that's the way we always were but this brings out...

The Cull

The gamekeeper looked over the moorland with a keen eye at the herd of deer grazing happily.   Of course he was not their owner, he had gone on a long journey, but he had been gone so long that the gamekeeper, whose name was Godred   Selfishman, had for some time come to see himself as the owner of the deer and as the best person to fashion the herd according to his own desire. He had forgotten that the owner had a special affinity with each individual deer.   He knew them all by name and they would come to him when he called. They were precious each one and woe betide anyone who would hurt any of his deer. Once Godred had known all this but over the years he had forgotten. He looked at the herd in the valley eating grass and flicking their ears.   They were content, unsuspecting. He had told the neighbouring farmers, “There are too many deer; they are eating your crops.” Unlike most farmers these did not think for themselves, they did not remember that the...

Is Mary the Mother of God?

This is a very tricky subject because I know I will upset many people by tackling it.  First let me say that everything I say to you is based only on what the Bible says.  I do believe that Mary was the virgin mother of Jesus and that Jesus was fully man and fully God.  Many people say that Mary was sinless but I can show you that she herself denied this.  She said,"My soul doth magnify the Lord and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Saviour" Read this in Luke (от Лука) 1:46,47. A sinless person does not need a Saviour, but Mary said that God was her Saviour. I have often said that if it was possible to be miserable in heaven then Mary would be the most sad person there, because people often honour her above Jesus.  She would be crying everyday at this . Jesus was her son but also her Saviour. I have many things to add to this but we will take it a step at a time.  Ask the Holy Spirit to help you as you consider these things.  Ask Him to lead you into t...
