Daily and Weekly Christian Inspiration
Happy Birthday to my beautiful twin daughters!
Patsy and Angela this is your Nanna Mearns at the same age which you will be celebrating on June 21. This was taken outside Nanna’s house on the Ballygomartin Road in Belfast just before we left for the USA in 1972. You are just too cute! I wonder how many will guess correctly which one is Patsy and which one is Angela? What a double blessing!
GUILT IS TO THE SPIRIT
WHAT PAIN IS TO THE BODY
When we feel pain in our body it is a warning to alert us that something is not right with us physically and can drain our strength robbing us of quality of life. We should listen to our bodies and not ignore it for the pain is only a symptom and not the root of the problem. We need to visit a doctor to search and diagnose the root of the problem. Even then he can’t help us if we are not totally honest with him. He will give us a prescription for us to swallow or may recommend some form of surgery.
Likewise, when we feel guilty, our conscience is sending a warning to alert us that something is wrong with us spiritually robbing us of the joy of our salvation. We should listen to our conscience and not ignore that nagging conviction for it is only a symptom of a deeper root problem. We need to visit the Great Physician that He may search our totally open honest hearts to diagnosis the root of the guilt. He can then cleanse it out even if it may take spiritual surgery followed by a prescription signed by the Hand of God which may include swallowing a pill called pride which is the root of most of our spiritual ailments.There is nothing in this world that can replace the total joy of a guiltless relationship with God and with others.
Acts 24:16 And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men.
CHALLENGE: Why live any longer with the nagging pain of a guilty conscience when you can visit the Great Physician?
A jigsaw puzzle is not complete if some pieces are missing!
You will never be whole again if you withhold some of those broken pieces from the new heart He is creating.
Psalm 34:18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit
A modern day psychology book, The Law of Life, states “We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.” A survey in the book revealed that we usually take for granted 80% of the blessings in our lives, therefore we are only 20% as happy as we could be! Consequently the degree to which we are thankful determines our happiness.
Ephesians 5:20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ

As a toddler I celebrated with my family in Belfast Northern Ireland as our British troops with some 156,000 American and Canadian forces landed on five beaches along a 50-mile stretch of the heavily fortified coast of France’s Normandy region. Codenamed Operation Overlord, the battle began on June 6, 1944, also known as D-Day resulted in the Allied liberation of Western Europe from Nazi Germany’s control. Forever grateful to the many who paid the ultimate price that we can celebrate freedom.
