@avant-garde Jesus has certainly blessed us with songs like this. i do not think i have heard his song on covid.

We are so in need hearing this kind of songs down the dumps i reckon!

@DownMoreThanUp yes this is another one of my favourites from Casting Crowns! And I love Matthew West too!

I struggled this morning with my devotion time as I was distracted and getting anxiety. It's happened often enough and been revealed to me that Satan likes to play dirty when you are drawing nearer to God. I had several years where my relationship with Jesus was tepid and Satan was able to distract me so it's a pattern I recognise. Once I tell him where to go - literally! - he backs off and remembers my house is blessed by the Blood of the Lamb.

I started to list my favourite musicians and bands but realised there are too many to list on one post!

Wayne Watson is one singer I really like, his self titled album has some beautiful songs on it, like Merciful Heaven, Trust in You and Blood of Jesus, as well as this one -

@avant-garde yes I love that song! Thanks for reminding me of it, I always have a chuckle when I listen to that one.

For those of you who haven't heard it -

i said good morning to Jesus just before and also to you dear family. How are things on your side of the woods? i slept 5 hours in my first sleep last night, and am very happy with that achievement. Praising our Heavenly Father for His mercies this morning again!

i'll share you an awesome ode to our dear Lord and Saviour.

@ENKELI Yes Casting Crown is good! i love their name as well. For i know meeting Jesus in His greatness has us flat on the floor, thinking we will surely die His love over us. Not caring one bit if our flesh rots off us right there and then as long as we remain in His love! (True story!😍😍😍)

Grace.

Grace is not just a feeling or thought,
Neither can grace be sold or bought.
Grace cannot be swallowed like a pill,
grace will not cheaply ease an inner ill.

Grace does not enforce any demand,
Nor will anything personal be banned.
Grace request no compliance or chores.
Ever freely God's grace soothes our sores.

For grace is The Truth's healing hand of Love,
Divine compassion descending from up Above,
True love lifting us gently out of our inner pain,
His grace making it safe to be ourselves again.

Salvation is a gift of God, not the result of your faith.

i slept 5 hours in my first sleep last night -- that is wonderful @DownMoreThanUp 😍

@DownMoreThanUp I also say good morning to Jesus when I fist wake up.

When I lived with ex friend I had a "God spot", it was a spot on the lawn under the mango tree in the back yard where I would sit with my Bible and talk to God. I haven't got a specific spot in my home but whenever I am tending to my plants I will ask Jesus to put on my heart what He desires of me, as well as friends who may need special prayers.

With the weather being so miserable of late I haven't been able to spend time with my plants and I know it is detrimental to my spiritual health.
I am studying the gospel of Mark at the moment aside from my daily Bible study.

A while back I think I mentioned that I have a book of names of people I pray for regularly and @avant-garde @Appleblossom @tyme @Shaz51 you are all in it.

If you ever need specific prayer please let me know and I will add the request.

God bless y'all and have a lovely weekend ❤️

@ENKELI Thanks for sharing a little of your faith life with Jesus. It is always good to hear when others love Jesus as well and bare their lives to Him.

Jesus is so good to know!

Good Morning brothers and sisters how has your night been?

An oldie!

Pondering Sweetly.

I'm pondering sweetly, reflecting God's graceful love,
Awakened by the voice of Father's loving grace,
Christ's caring truth seeking, deeper communion pleading,
Consoling love lifting my spirit before God's face.

I'm pondering sweetly, reflecting God's loving truth,
Jesus' love redeems my spirit from earthbound plights.
Where upon the peaks of the highest mountain summit,
The finger of God, in my heart His commandment writes.

I'm pondering sweetly, reflecting God's caring way,
Watching His holy seed of loving truth germinate.
Fields of Heavenly harvest ripening in the sun,
Cherubic thoughts, angels in the sky to celebrate.

I'm pondering sweetly, reflecting God's awesome might,
Seeing - I AM – our Heavenly Father - everywhere,
As I can not locate any place where He is not,
And most astonishingly I'm with Him over there!
