Give Thanks

"Give thanks in everything" (1 Thessalonians 5:18) - when everything in your life is going well, give thanks. when everything in your life is upset and you have been hurt, give thanks. when you have a heartache, give thanks, when you have a headache, give thanks.What will happen?? I don't know. Give thanks and find out….because deep in your being you know "He's got the while world in His hands…."

Forgiveness

> "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." (Ephesians 4:32) This is the message for living that comes to me this day. Let the light of these words shine in our minds and hearts today.

Fwd: thought

"How else would things ever get straightened out if God didn't do the straightening?" (Romans 3:6 The Message) - our hope is in God involving Himself in our situations. 

I have sought knowledge and understanding of biblical teachings. I am a faith person. Much learning has opened the world of my mind to wonderful truths in all creation. I am grateful for the light shining upon the path life for me. 

However, at this place in life I am more aware of the basic truth. God is Love. God is Good. God came into this world in the person of Jesus Christ to redeem, save, convert the minds and hearts of people from sin, hatred, violence and every other evil into hearts of love, kindness, compassion, forgiveness. No fancy words. Simply "I need thee, I need thee every hour…"

Micah

>The world in which Micah lived many ages ago was going from bad to worse. People were abusive of one another, the powerful took advantage of the powerless, violence everywhere. It seemed to Micah that the old and proven values were no longer considered relevant and people did what suited their desire without consideration of right and wrong.
>
> But in the midst of this environment Micah says, "But me, I'm not giving up. I'm sticking around to see what God will do. I'm waiting for God to make things right. I'm counting on God to listen to me." (Micah 7:8)
>
>I agree with Micah.
>
>Let us always remember ultimate accountability is to the presence and word of God within us. No true peace until we are at peace with Holy Spirit within us."Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." (John 14:27)

Prayer

>"Prayer is not a privilege for the pious, not the art of a chosen few. Prayer is simply a heartfelt conversation between God and his child. ..he wants to talk with you. Even now, as you read these words, he taps at the door. Open it. Welcome him in. Let the conversation begin." (Max Lucado) It is in your nature to pray. Open the door of your mind and heart and let unconditional love come in…..

Inner Light

"…but listening to what we already know to be true in our hearts and have refused to hear or have been afraid to follow…we renew our faith by trusting the innate compass that aligns us with a Higher Power and allows us to know without knowing." —Candace A. Croft.     The Kingdom of God is within you—another way of saying is Conscience….the inner compass….Lord, you are a lamp to our feet and a light upon our path...

 

God Sees the Heart

>GOD DOESN'T LOOK AT THINGS LIKE HUMANS DO. HUMANS SEE ONLY WHAT IS VISIBLE TO THE EYES,
>..BUT HE LORD SEES INTO THE HEART.-(1 Samuel 16:7-)
>
>We all have visible assets for success but at the finish is the person whose heart is centered in timeless truth.
