I BELONG TO JESUS
I belong to Jesus;
I am not my own;
All I have and all I am,
Shall be His alone.
I belong to Jesus;
He is Lord and King,
Reigning in my inmost heart,
Over everything.
I belong to Jesus;
Blessèd, blessèd thought!
With His own most precious blood
Has my soul been bought.
I belong to Jesus;
He has died for me;
I am His and He is mine,
Through eternity.
I belong to Jesus;
He will keep my soul,
When the deathly waters dark
Round about me roll.
I belong to Jesus;
And ere long I’ll stand
With my precious Savior there
In the glory land.
(Maud Fraser, 1891)
@tanjaostman Oh! Winter wonderland!
Does anyone here have advice on how to prevent a cat from stinking up a home while the owners are away?? We have a male cat. He has been neutered. Neutering was supposed to fix this problem. Admittedly, the issue has gotten better, but it seems that when our cat thinks we've been gone for too long he becomes anxious and acts out by marking around the house, especially around doors. Would getting another cat to keep him company help??? Or would it just mean more problems??? We have no experience in these things, so advice is welcome.

@tanjaostman May many others have a heart like yours, filled with God's love for all people, no matter their nationality. This kind of love can make a huge impact for the Kingdom.

"A NUMBER of Russians have left Russia over concerns about the rumoured declaration of martial law and the impact of crippling economic sanctions.
With scheduled flights out of the country suspended except for Turkey and the United Arab Emirates, many have turned their attention to the rail service operated between the Finnish capital of Helsinki and St. Petersburg by VR, the Finnish state-owned railway company."
Please, pray also for the Russian people! All Russians don't support Putin, and life is getting harder in Russia. But I'm afraid they won't feel very welcome in Finland, as hatred towards Russians increase all over the world. Some Finns hate Russians, because of what their forefathers did to our country. But ordinary people are never responsible for their government, or for what their ancestors did!
Today we had a meeting at my workingplace regarding our Russian and Ukrainian students and colleagues. We have zero tolerance for hate speech.

Please PRAY urgently for Chinese Pastor Pan and The Mayflower Church. 🙏 🙏 🙏
Their testimony is incredible. Pastor Pan led his church of 28 adults and 32 children to pose as tourists and they fled China to the S. Korean island of JeJu, where they currently are. They have been denied asylum in S. Korea and unless they are accepted elsewhere (which they have not been up till now), they will be forced to return to China very shortly to face intense persecution and torture. They are submitted to the Lord's will in all things and are ready to face their return if need be. Pastor Pan is an amazing man of God and bold leader in the Chinese Underground Church. I'm posting an older article from Nov. '21 because it has great photos of them: This weighs so heavily upon my heart. Please pray. You will find out in the article how they got their name of "The Mayflower Church". https://vomkorea.com/en/2021/11/09/vomk-report-178/#comment-8637
@Susan This is quite interesting. I'd love to see comments from others on here.

This is a link to a newsletter from an attorney who deals mostly with covid issues.
However he had some interesting observations about Ukraine at the end of this Saturday's newsletter.
He is obsessed with the truth & has a team who checks the information before he uses anything in court.
I know personally one who does the checking.
He also wrote one of the White papers for the OSHA case presented to the Supreme Court.
Worth the read_ Ukraine is at the end of the newsletter.

Let's keep our eyes on Jesus. HE is the Victor! There is so much brokeness in this world. I was driving to an appointment with a sister from my local fellowship and learned that someone had been shot near the intersection at the end of our block. After this appointment I'm supposed to visit an elderly lady who called me and is feeling suicidal. I did speak to her to let her know I plan to come soon and she assured me she will be there. Jesus is our only hope in this world!

Pray for a team planning travel around the Island encouraging believers to fulfill the Great Commission.

@Berrybunchfamily Amen! This has always been true, but is becoming more and more apparent in these days. During the earlier part of the pandemic especially, I would find myself becoming anxious. When I mediated on Scripture or listened to worship music, paying attention to the message of the lyrics, I physically felt the peace that passes all understanding chasing away the anxiety. God's Word is indeed the Truth that matters most!

This one's worth watching if only because I got a warning when I tried to share my post on my Facebook page lol ( I mentioned the 'C' word) which perfectly illustrated the point of this little video.
Andy B 2 Minute Video, Whose Truth Is It Anyway, Season 4, Episode 40
It’s easy to be bamboozled by people telling us their truth. And we’ve seen, during COVID, media sources confuse everybody by spreading their own opinions, while calling their opinions fact and, at the same time, deleting and blocking any, and all, comments that they simply didn’t like. The truth has been belittled to opinions, just shouted ever louder!
MSM means Main Stream Media – I had to look it up. And the trouble with MSM is that they do exactly the same thing as social media, only they do it while wearing business suits on our television sets.

@sinbach Yes, I've noticed this too, and it's a bit scary actually, because I'm thinking, what if it was Finland and not Ukraine? Would people think all kind of bad about us too and salute how Putin is actually doing a good job when destroying us and our country..? I admit, it's probably a confusing thought that the main stream media would talk truth "for once"(and I agree they often don't), so I can very well understand how it's easy to start playing around with thoughts of all kinds of conspiracy theories. But I believe this time they are telling the truth about Putin. There really is demonic forces behind him. I probably would have been looking for these alternative theories too, if it wasn't for the fact that this dictator is my neighbour..! We living next door have a long history that teaches us NOT to be naive. We know this is for real and we could be next.
@MaryMamuzich @sinbach Maybe wishful thinking?
@Susan @tanjaostman I agree with this. It's so true that she was as lost before as she is now. Money and fame don't bring peace or true hope. This world needs Jesus. He is the true Answer for each one of us. It is sad when people celebrate the downfall of celebrities. Tanja, I don't know how it is in every case, but I have noticed a pattern of ruin for a lot of celebrities. They face so much pressure and stress that it often leads them to seek an escape through dangerous behaviors. Those who benefit from their talents or beauty or whatever their unique merit do not care about them. They only care about the money and attention it brings their industry.
