God forgives without keeping a scorecard.
Do you write a daily journal? This inspiring thought comes from my journal, and much of what is written in my journal comes from reading and commenting on other bloggers’ posts. Thanks to many of you for adding so much to my journal.

Nothing of value is ever acquired without discipline.
From 1 Timothy 4:7: “Discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness.”

From Psalm 51:3: “For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me.”
Lost soul in the wickedest valleys of life
Needing directions, take away this strife
Life’s transgressions mount, God knows them all
Living a life of denial, witnessing an arrogant fall
Every day takes one deeper and deeper into sin
Losing awareness, asking where have we been?
When born, God knows our sinful ways
Needing God to teach wisdom each day
Life continues to carry us on the very same road
Walking and falling, becomes frustrating and cold
God delivers His judgement, He feels justified
Viewing our sin-filled cravings, never satisfied
Life’s journey demands we find a different route
Using God’s compass, His directions carry clout
God brings deliverance, a better means to live
Declaring praise to our Lord, offerings to give
Another wayward life takes a detour from the Pit
Cleansing of sin, God’s road creates a better fit
God teaches an upright way, follow and trust
Purging all evil, washing white our sinful lust
God’s steadfast love delivers a redeeming route
Hearing God’s joy, His compass brings us about

Be such a man, and live such a life, that if every man were such as you, and every life a life like yours, this earth would be God’s paradise.
From Philippians 2:4: “Let each of you look not to your own interests, but to the interests of others.”
Pre-dawn darkness fades
Inspiring sunrise arrives—
Feeling God’s presence
Darkness surrounds me
Shadows of life overwhelm me—
God’s Word brings comfort

Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strength.
From 1 Peter 5:6-7: “Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, so that He may exalt you in due time. Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.”

When you’ve exhausted all possibilities, remember this: you haven’t.
From Mark 9:23: “Jesus said, ‘If you are able! All things can be done for the one who believes.'”
