Walking with Jesus

At the very beginning, before I even got started, I saw him on the front of a ship high above me. Jesus said "Come on, let's get going." I said where?" He said "On an adventure." He was very happy, in an obvious playful mood. This was in contrast to my "depressed outlook" - I had a week where I had to fight every step of the way, a week of frustration and pain. One of those weeks where the "stuffing was kicked out of me, where I was ready to give up."

He moved fast, I had difficulty keeping up at first. But as I walked with Him joy and hope started growing within me. I felt His presence with me, in me and beside me. He looked excited, ready for adventure.

However the question on my mind was "Where am I going? Where is this adventure taking me in life?" "Jesus replied "If I told you, it would not be an adventure. Don't question, just come. Keep up with me!" After I heard this I saw a red finch on grass stalks in my garden. I was reminded that the Father looks after these birds and He is looking after me.....

No Worries Mate

No Worries Mate is a great Australian saying. However, it can only be really true for those who rest in their Heavenly Father’s Love. In this land of droughts, floods, cyclones, bush fires, interest rate rises, marriage breakdowns, stock market falls and sin... there is plenty to worry about ..that is, if God is not in control of your life.

Worried? Anxious? concerned about your future. Then it is time to ask Jesus to take over your life. Let Him be King and you will walk in peace
Be Blessed in Jesus

Here are the words from a Godfrey Birtill song. Although a popular Christian Singer in the UK he is relatively unknown in Australia. I find that many of his songs have a prophetic edge. He is well worth a listen BL

When I look at the world I get distressed
When I look at myself
I sometimes get depressed
When I look at the Lord I find rest
As I listen to His words...

Don’t be anxious or uneasy
Don’t be tense now, don’t worry...
Don’t be anxious or uneasy
Don’t be tense now, don’t worry...No No!

When I think of the time wasted in bed
Things blown out of proportion
Buzzing round my head
Something tries to steal the very best
Then I listen to these words:

Don’t be anxious or uneasy
Don’t be tense now, don’t worry...
Don’t be anxious or uneasy
Don’t be tense now, don’t worry...No No!

No No...No No...No No...No worries
No No...No No...No No...No worries
No No...No No...No No...No worries
No No...No No...No No...No worries
God holds the future, He is faithful
I’m going to trust Him, each and every day.

No worries (When I look at the world)
