20 For I fully expect and hope that I will never be ashamed, but that I will continue to be bold for Christ, as I have been in the past. And I trust that my life will bring honor to Christ, whether I live or die. 21 For to me, living means living for Christ, and dying is […]
The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion. God know exactly what you need You need to understand life enough and at the same time be ready to endure the consequences of your actions, because every action of life comes with a reward. There are few […]
Starting next week my posts will take on a slightly different format of ‘Original Thoughts’ and being a site for devotions i wil still endeavour to link a devotional thought to mine.
Unfortunately to enable me to do this there will no longer be ‘daily posts’. I aim to post three times a week ( Monday, Wednesday, Friday) approximately. There will be no change to the regular Sunday posts.
We’re all yearning for “life changing encounters” post-Covid. But it turns out, we have the power for a life-changing experience within our hearts.

And this is smaller than all other seeds, but when it is full grown, it is larger than the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that THE BIRDS OF THE AIR come and NEST IN ITS BRANCHES.”
I searched for two or three verses of scripture for this one, The garden of Eden & Garden of Gethsemane, but for me these two scripture’s didn’t match the words below .
In the Garden may be an old song but it’s one of my favourites with lovely words in testimony.
Verse #1 I come to the garden alone, While the dew is still on the roses, And the voice I hear, falling on my ear, The Son of God discloses. And He walks with me, and He talks with me, And He tells me I am His own, And the joy we share as we tarry there, None other has ever known.
Verse #2 He speaks, and the sound of His voice, Is so sweet the birds hush their singing, And the melody that He gave to me, Within my heart is ringing. And He walks with me, and He talks with me, And He tells me I am His own, And the joy we share as we tarry there, None other has ever known.
Verse #3 I’d stay in the garden with Him, Tho’ the night around me be falling, But He bids me go, thro’ the voice of woe, His voice to me is calling. And He walks with me, and He talks with me, And He tells me I am His own, And the joy we share as we tarry there, None other has ever known
12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Colossians 3:12-14 Forgiveness can […]
Every year the denomination I’m affiliated with has a National Convention. I’ve had the pleasure of serving as an intern for a couple years in college and absolutely enjoyed it.
I haven’t been in years due to the different sites being too far to travel. But next year it is going to be held in Birmingham and while it’s an 11 hour drive I’m determined to make it there.
The year following Birmingham it will be held in Raleigh, NC. That’s only a 3 hour drive so I’m definitely going to that one. 🙂 🙂 🙂
While I wasn’t able to go this year (it was in Memphis) the wonderful tech people live streamed the services. I watched each day this week and it was such a blessing.
“Christ be magnified, Let His praise arise. Christ be magnified in me. “
If your situation seems impossible, at least look it straight in the eye, because having a painful truth is better than a pleasant lie. Pleasant lies just perpetuate your problems. People tend to think they want success, progress, happiness, and peace more than anything, but deep down, people want the truth. People have given up […]
