No one can hurt your feelings without your consent. No one can make you angry, disappointed, intimidated, or jealous.
Substitute any reactive emotion with the wisdom, strength and self control of The Holy Spirit. Whatever it is, no one can afflict you with it without your consent.
You can choose to see things differently when you depend upon The Holy Spirit to open your eyes to Jehovahs meaning instead of societies or your own faulty reasoning. It’s the only one you’ll ever need.
The people we interact with become how we treat them, more than we’d like to admit. That is why wicked company corrupts godly souls while godly souls mould us more into Christs character.
Where there are no boundaries in life, there is no respect for either you nor those around you. Joseph a son of Jehovah
May The Holy Spirit keep you from the wicked who drag you into the pig mire and guide you to the godly who help you transform into a beautiful child of Jehovah Joseph a son of Jehovah

When But the time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way. John 4:23 The Holy Bible, the New Living Testament
Jehovah desires that our hearts are one with Him. That is true worship.
It is not in doing good works ( although when directed by the Holy Spirit that is an act of loving obedience ).
It is not of giving money, although that is an act of loving commitment.
It is not in singing songs, although when the heart is in harmony with our Heavenly Father that is a reaction to that loving experience.
True worship is when our spirit and Jehovahs are intertwined like strands of rope. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Speaking from personal experience that is the most awesome experience you can ever be blessed with and I look forward to worshipping my Beloved Heavenly Father, Best Friend, Jesus and Amazing Teacher, the Holy Spirit, for eternity in the Heavenly home they have prepared for me.
Prayer: Oh my Beloved Jesus Pyyrand (Jesus my best friend John 15:15 ) how I long to spend eternity walking and talking with You, my Beloved Poppa Jehovah and magnificent mentor The Holy Spirit. I pray that it will occur soon because my heart aches to spend eternity with You. I pray this in Your loving name. Amen
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love fill your heart today and every day. Joseph a son of Jehovah

My Holy Cherished Beloved Father, You are the love of my live and I deeply respect, admire and worship You.

One of the wonderful things about youse is that it is impossible to ever know Youse completely. There is always something more You teach me about Yourselves which amazes me and enlarges my love for Youse.
The greatest joy of my life is when we communion together.

Wishing you a house full of sunshine, hearts full of cheer and love that grows deeper each day of the year. Welsh blessing
For I bear on my body the scars that show I belong to Jesus. Galatians 6:17 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
The older we get, the more scars we have. There are different types of scars.
There is of course the physical ones, the mental ones and the spiritual ones.
The difference is that those that dwell in the world have no use for their scars.
I love to share the events in my life where Jehovah, Jesus and they Holy Spirit have touched me. How can I not? They were life changing. Joseph a son of Jehovah
We that belong to Christ use these scars to encourage those in His family. When we see another brother or sister suffering we come along side them and share our scars with them and how Jesus used these scars to help mature us and how His gentle love healed these scars.
A Christians scars are used for encouragement for others in Jehovahs family. Joseph a son of Jehovah

For since our friendship with God was restored by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be saved through the life of his Son. So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God. Romans 5:8-11 The Holy Bible New Living Translation
Jesus is my best friend as well as Jehovah They are the best friend anyone could ever have.
He is always there to talk with when problems arise (and because no one is wiser than Him, He always blesses us with the best advice).
He is there to comfort us when we are in sorrow, He understands because He experienced it here on earth when He walked among us.
He is there to warn us when danger lies ahead, He is better than any horoscope.
When someone tries to wage war against us, He is there to fight the battle for us or gives us the weapons to defeat our foes. He is there to share in our victories.
He is there to make us laugh, you have not really gotten to know Jesus until you have experienced His wonderful sense of humor.
He is there to share quiet times with us, those are the most special times for me.
The more we trust Jehovah the more we surrender to Him. The more we surrender to Him the deeper we fall in love with Him. Joseph a son of Jehovah

May your house be filled with joy in the morning and sweet dreams at night. May it be a home where love has come to live. Joseph a son of Jehovah
I remember what the Lord Jesus said, ‘I am more happy when I give than when I receive.’ ” Acts 20:35 The Holy Bible The New Living Translation
I have been blessed that it has always been easy to help others. Sometimes when reflecting back on the days activities with my Beloved, He reminds me of little things as well as big ones that have been done for others. Many times these good deeds are done out of second nature. We both share a good laugh and He is greatly thanked for the opportunity to share and help others He presented me with through out the day.
Helping others every day bring joy and meaning to my day. Joseph a son of Jehovah
But, here is the thing though.
You can be a revolutionary.
By observing your actions you can encourage others to be helpful and giving as well.
When I was living in this city in Asia I used to buy food and give it to the beggars on the street. After a few months I noticed others were emulating my acts of kindness. At it did not click where the others got the idea of being so kind and generous until my eyes were opened by the Holy Spirit.
Your simple acts of kindness can be the beginning of a compounding act of love in your neighbourhood, in your city, in your province and in your country. Joseph a son of Jehovah
It is scary to begin this habit and we always need the Holy Spirits direction in where to go and who to help. When we surrender out will to His, He takes us to amazing places and helps us accomplish amazing feats. Oh, they will not make the six o’clock news but you can bet Jehovah, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are clapping their hands in Heavens and smiling as they say: “What a wonderful child of mine they are. I love them so much and am so proud of them.”
Now, you do not need to do good deeds to attain Jehovah, Jesus or the Holy Spirits love and approval but just as they are good to you, so too are you to be good to others.Joseph a son of Jehovah
Have you ever thought of all the good deeds you have done through out the day? Can you count them?
Prayer: Glory, glory excelsior my adoring Jehovah Jireth (Genesis 22:14 The LORD Shall Provide) for blessing me with one of the most special gift of all, the gift of sharing with others. This blesses both of us as well as the receivers. I praise You in the name of He who shared so much of Himself with others and who I always attempt to emulate Jesus Christ. Amen
May you be blessed with the gift of love, the gift of peace, the gift of joy. May you be blessed with numerous opportunities to share these gifts with others today. Joseph a son of Jehovah
For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts. Isaiah 55:9 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
I thought this, He has that planned.
One day I felt a strong desire to go to a photo shop and have a lot of positive affirmation cards made out using my photo’s and Bible verses added into them. It was assumed that they would be read every morning to get me off to a positive start to the day.
A few weeks after they had been printed the corona virus hit. At the same time some members of moms church began going through some very difficult times as well as facing the loneliness of isolation.
I convinced mom to drive me to their dwelling place (I have never had a drivers licence) and I would place the card in their mail boxes. Mom added a little gift like a box of chocolates.
After reading the card and the accompanying poem I wrote they called up mom just bawling uncontrollably. Thanking her. The cards gave them a lot of comfort and encouragement.
We did the same for shut in seniors that could not get out shopping (there are huge line ups at all the grocery stores so I would go do their shopping for them while mom sat in the vehicle (her health will not allow her to stand for a hour in the line up).
Now is the time for brothers and sisters in Christs holy family to come together and help each other.
I have gotten mom to make a list and call members of her church every day and just talk with them. Now other members are calling each other and encouraging each other following moms lead. It has a incredible effect on bother the callers and the receivers. This makes us stronger and more united. Those shut ins (especially those in seniors homes where visitors are not allowed and they are confined to their rooms) really appreciate it.
Even the simplest acts of love can and do have powerful effects on others. Especially in these difficult frightening times. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you El Marom (Micah 6:6 GOD Most High ) for blessing me with Your guiding hand using Your wisdom which constantly amazes me. I am honoured my Love that You have used me in such a wonderful manner. May many reading this be blessed to follow suit. I give thank and ask in the name of He who constantly confused the wise in His walk on this planet, Jesus Christ. Amen
The gift of love, the gift of joy, the gift of peace, these are the greatest gifts that can be given. They are given in abundance to all those in Christs family by our Heavenly loving Father to be shared with others. May you be blessed with plentiful opportunities to share these with those around you today. Joseph a son of Jehovah
The Lord also keeps safe those who suffer. He is a safe place in times of trouble. Those who know Your name will put their trust in You. For You, O Lord, have never left alone those who look for You. Psalm 9:9-10 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
There is always good that goes with bad.
Look at the virus that is snaking around the world right now. Yes it is causing a lot of sickness and death. But, it is also contributing to a lot of good.
Look at how many families are spending time together like they did forty years ago.
Look at how folks are looking out for each other in their communities.
Look at how folks are coming together in creative ways in their church to keep together.
Look at how many folks are having time to read their Bibles, for some, maybe the first time in their life.
Look at how many folks are taking walks on nature trails which is good for their mental, physical and spiritual health.
And, most important of all is look at how many folks are spending quality time with Jehovah, perhaps for the first time in their lives.
It is in the difficult times we come the closest to Jesus. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Immeka (Judges 6:12 The LORD Is with You ) for walking with me through these difficult times. May you use me to encourage others and help others under Your guidence as You have helped and encouraged me. I apologize that it took at catastrophe like this for me to come and spend time with You. I thank you in the name of He who always fulfills His promise to never leave me nor desert me, Jesus Christ. Amen
The gift of love, the gift of joy, the gift of peace, these are the greatest gifts that can be given. They are given in abundance to all those in Christs family by our Heavenly loving Father. May you be blessed with plentiful opportunities to share these with those around you today. Joseph a son of Jehovah

The Lord God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to tend and watch over it. Genesis 2:15 Holy Bible, New Living Translation
Now, even though we are not in the Garden of Eden we are still stewards of Jehovahs creation.
One day early this spring while riding my bicycle down a country road the Lord guided my attention to how filthy the side of the road was and reminded me that as a Christian I am a caretaker of Jehovahs creation. He inspired me to go midweek with some garbage bags and start to clean up all the rubbish on the side of the road. It was incredible the amount that was collected in a short distance. I made a commitment to return one day a week and continue down the road until it was all cleaned up.
“You must not defile the land where you live, for I live there myself. I am the Lord, who lives among the people of Israel.” Numbers 35:34 Holy Bible, New Living Translation
After about a month, it rained out on the scheduled clean up day. A couple of days later when riding down the road to get some supplies for our garden the Lord directed my attention to the side of the road. It was spotless. That means someone or group noticed the work done, how it looked good and how bad the uncleaned part looked. They took the initiative and cleaned it up.
Many times we can lead by example in life with out even realizing it. Joseph a son of Jehovah
You yourself must be an example to them by doing good works of every kind. Titus 2:7 Holy Bible, New Living Translation
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Bore (Isaiah 40:28) The LORD Creator for blessing me with helpers to restore some of Your creation to the beauty You created to be. I exalt You in the name of He who will restore all of creation to its original beauty upon His victorious return Jesus Christ. Amen
