Daily and Weekly Christian Inspiration
A beautiful and touching “Thank you” was recently sent to me from two new members of my Glass Slipper Club, Pastor Frederick’s wife Reeba and my new dear sister Rita whom I meet last year while ministering in India. I had sent them each a Glass Slipper with the following letter.

Dear Child,”You see just seeds BUT I see the harvest” thus saith Papa
We may have the ability to count the amount of seeds in an apple BUT who of us has the power or ability to count the amount of apples in a seed?
Mark 4:25 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.
Never let the things you want make you forget the things you have.
Dear Child,
It is right and good to give thanks, for My mercy endures forever. Through all circumstances My grace and mercy are available.
A thankful heart is an appreciative heart, and an appreciative heart is a soft heart, which I can work with and mold, but an ungrateful heart becomes hard and cold.
With appreciation comes contentment. Godliness and contentment are great gain.
So fulfill My will for you today by being be thankful and you will be contented.
Thus saith Papa
1Tim 6:6-8 But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
Phil. 4:11… for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
Heb.13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
There are many things that money will buy but not contentment!
Money will buy:-
A bed BUT not sleep
Books BUT not brains
Food BUT not an appetite
Finery BUT not beauty
A house BUT not a home
Medicine BUT not health
Luxuries BUT not culture
Amusement BUT not happiness
A crucifix BUT not a savior
A church pew BUT not heaven.
Remember:-
Haman had a great court position yet not content!
Ahab was on a throne yet not content!
Adam was in paradise yet not content!
Angels were in heaven yet not content!
Lucifer was the highest of the angels yet not content!
CHALLENGE: Don’t try to keep up with the “Jones” for contentment is not having what you want but rather wanting what you have!
Contentment comes not so much from great wealth but from few wants for he who is contented is rich.
We have just spent a few family days with my brother Robert and sister-in-law Iris in Hickory North Carolina to catch up on each others lives. Iris and I shared the goodness and faithfulness of the Lord as we reminisced about our individual miraculous touch from God.
Just a few years ago I suffered a stroke and a seizure leaving my left side paralyzed after heart surgery with a mere hope from the surgeon that I may recover some of my mobility after several months of therapy. With many faithful prayers from friends and family, God in His mercy totally restored my mobility after only a few days to the shock of the medical staff. Since then I have travelled to share the gospel in England, France, Italy, Russia, India and Israel all to His glory!
A few months ago Iris suffered Cardiac arrest and a stroke leaving her in a coma with little hope from the medical staff that Iris would ever wake from the coma. But after many days of faithful prayers of family and friends, Iris awoke and gradually recovered and today was able to entertain and look after us during our visit much to our amazement. I know in His time Iris will also be traveling and sharing her testimony to the glory of God!
Having just returned from Israel I can testify HE IS RISEN! I have visited the tomb in the garden of the home of Joseph of Arimathea and praise the Lord I can tell you
IT IS EMTPTY!!!
We do not have to see to believe but it was an inspiring and awesome experience to visit that empty tomb.
John 20 :29 ….blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
Join in anthem with all the saints throughout the world declaring this Easter Sunday
“HE IS RISEN INDEED!!!”
