I love the analogy of the light on a timer. We have one on our back door. I believe that we cannot by our own efforts keep our lights burning, but if Jesus is in us, His light does not go out and His battery never runs out of juice. That gives me hope because I know that my efforts can never measure up to what is needed from my life to be successful in the eternal scheme of things. When we are not able He is able, that is my source of comfort and joy. ❤️Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00498627087140234765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-17979851943311671372021-10-28T14:40:46.293-07:002021-10-28T14:40:46.293-07:00Thanks, Tanza, and may you have a wonderful week a...Thanks, Tanza, and may you have a wonderful week and God's blessings!<br />LaurieLaurie Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676088158113572565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-89575542899791491462021-10-27T17:05:04.506-07:002021-10-27T17:05:04.506-07:00Have a wonderful day...

There was an absolutely beautiful program on the television on Sunday. A pastor in a church somewhere in the UK had a very large part of the church where he fed and helped people who were homeless and trying to come off drugs. Many of the people that the were being helped were crying and giving their testimonies, and some said that without the help of that pastor they would have committed suicide. They were actually being brought to Jesus through the love and kindness that pastor was showing. He did not want a title, and anyone could see he was a genuine disciple who cared about all people. God bless you for sharing.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16165344093549650260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-64275352229595067812021-10-24T18:55:42.280-07:002021-10-24T18:55:42.280-07:00Dear Frank,

It is easy to ruin our testimony by a fit of temper, no doubt provoked by a situation orchestrated by Satan, resulting in losing credibility with the one to whom we were trying to witness. Perhaps if this man had apologized to you and Alex, things might have been different, but it sounds like he was embarrassed and just decided to cut off the relationship. <br /><br />May God grant us the grace to exhibit the fruit of the Spirit, including self-control, so that we can effectively witness to and encourage others.<br /><br />God bless you and Alex,<br />LaurieLaurie Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676088158113572565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-11192414851604120692021-10-24T15:43:40.743-07:002021-10-24T15:43:40.743-07:00Dear Laurie,

A few years ago, he arrived at our house to collect us to take us back to his home for lunch together. We all had a great time, including me giving some advice to him to help enhance their marriage whilst Alex was in another room chatting joyfully to his wife.<br />Then, before taking us home, he insisted we have a worship session in his lounge. We found ourselves singing praises to God for a short while. Finally, we made our way to his car.<br />As we approached a junction, another car suddenly appeared on his right, forcing him to brake. Then he spewed some angry words towards the other driver.<br />Strange. Not only I wasn't any longer impressed by his level of spirituality, but somehow I also felt that something had died. <br />So far, we had not seen them since.<br />I suppose we all let our guard slip from time to time.<br />God's blessings to you and Richard.<br /><br />Frank E.
