This Can be the Reason

This can be the reason there are so many health problems today.

A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. Proverbs 17:22 New International Version.

I just read a report that said that eighty percent of people in a certain country suffered insomnia, eighty percent had nightmares, eighty percent had no real friends, sixty percent of marriages ended up in divorce and seventy percent suffered depression.

It is the culture in that country to be very materialistic, to lie, steal and cheat to get what you want. They are only friendly with you when they want something from you and they get it by cheating you. When they have gotten all they want or cant get it anymore for free they throw you away like yesterdays garbage.

For example, they have language exchange. They promise you if teach them English they will teach you their language. They will have you teach them English for about two hours. When it is their turn to teach you their language they always make some excuse and leave without giving you your lesson.

If you say to them okay you give me my lesson first they get very angry and walk away.

Do you see how one goes with the other?

When you behave like this: People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God: 2 Timothy 3:2-4 New International Version.

The end result will be sleeplessness, nightmares, loneliness, sadness and trouble in all your relationships.

I have seen people who are cheerful givers and are the most wonderful people to be around. It is a continuous feast of joy and fellowship.

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Chanan (God is gracious) for the blessing of love in our lives which brings peace to our heart that brings joy to our spirit when we worship You by imitating Your beloved son Jesus Christ. I give thanks in His sweet name. Amen.

Would Happen in That

This is very true .

I remember various cults in the seventies claiming Judgment Day would happen in that time frame and of course it never did

They are too Strong for Me

I am grateful the MP4 finally arrived. I prayed it would arrive today because it was a month late getting here and it came in the mail today

I am grateful The Holy Spirit guided me to a site where there is good relaxing country- western Christian music for Jezebel to listen to instead of watching the idiot box ( TV )

I am grateful The Holy Spirit answered my prayer that whenever negative thoughts entered my mind He would tell me to stop it and the negative thoughts stopped. They are too strong for me so I need The Holy Spirit’s help

This evening while watching the evening devotional on TV Smoky (my cat ) put his little head on my hand, gave me a look of love and went right to sleep. I am grateful for that because it reminds me of how I love Jesus and sleep peacefully in His gentle hand

May Jehovah Jireh ( God provides Philippians 4:19 )bless you this day and may The Holy Spirit make you sensitive to them to give Him loving, joyful praise in gratitude

Is Preparing to Give You Something Better.

When everything is taken away from you it is because Jehovah is preparing to give you something better. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

Grateful for The Holy Spirit’s Advice

I had problems with the bank card so decided to go to the bank. The Holy Spirit insisted I take my citizenship card. The bank card expired and the only way they would give me a new one was if I had photo I.D. The citizenship card was accepted. Boy am I am grateful for The Holy Spirit’s advice

There was a great deal on cat food at one of the stores so I went to get a case. I prayed there would be some there. I got the last case. I am grateful the Lord granted my request

I am grateful for the rain last night. We seem to be getting little showers lately.

It was supposed to be pouring rain out all day. I am grateful the rain stopped just as I was leaving the house and stayed sunny all day which meant Jezebel could get out so I could do some house work.

May Jehovah Jireh ( God provides Philippians 4:19 )bless you this day and may The Holy Spirit make you sensitive to them to give Him loving, joyful praise in gratitude

Avoiding Scams

https://lifehopeandtruth.com/relationships/finances/avoiding-scam


This is very good advice

I pray this article is of help to you like it is to me

Or in My Heart.

Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. Isaiah 43: 1 New International Version

Who has a more divine influence on my life than Jesus? Reading your love letter to me, by the grace of the Holy Spirit, you reveal yourself to me, the relationship you want to bless me with in communion with you and Your marvelous plan for my life in service to you.

Inspiration: a divine influence or action on a person believed to qualify him or her to receive and communicate sacred revelation

What better motivation do I need to live the live you have prepared for me than to experience the influence your holy word has on me and in me?

Motivation: motivating force, stimulus, or influence

Is there anyone or thing that has more power to mold me into the beautiful creation you intend on me being?

What hero can match your incredible gift of the sacrifice you made for me on the cross? What hero has conquered death? What hero has prepared such an amazing home for me?

Is there any who can compare to you?

Not in my life or in my heart.

Prayer: Thank you Jesus Pryyand (Jesus my friend) for being the most awesome friend there ever could be. I gratefully thank You in Your beautifully loving name. Amen

While He is Blessing Us with That.

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the LORD. Isaiah 55:8 New International Version

During the New Year, Chinese like to have tangerine trees in their apartments because the tangerines represent good luck.

When they throw the trees out at the end of the season I like to collect the tangerines to use for juice, potpourri and the pulp for bread.

One morning I felt a deep urge to stair walk. I sometimes walk down twenty flights of stairs and back up again for exercise. I thought God wanted me to collect tangerines from the trees that were thrown out.

During the exercise there was some beautiful paintings in the stair well someone who had moved out and thrown out. They were gladly taken back to my apartment to replace some photos on the wall that had grown old and worn out. That saved me money.

When I moved in an agreement was signed that anything worn out I would have to replace. Those paintings would have to be replaced at my expense.

God works like that in our lives sometimes.

We are looking for this while He is blessing us with that.

Sometimes we think God is directing us to get tangerines, but really is giving us paintings.

That has happened so many times in my walk with God. I think God has a wonderful sense of humour.

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Jireh (God our provider) for the wonderful ways in which You graciously and unusually bless us. I give thanks in Your most special blessing Jesus Christ. Amen

Editors note: this was written when I was a teacher in China
