Receive every day as a resurrection from death, as a new enjoyment of life, meet every rising sun with such sentiments of God’s goodness, as if you had seen it, and  all things new–created upon your account.

From Ezekiel 36:24-27:  “I will take you from the nations, and gather you from all the countries, and bring you into your own land.  I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you.  A new heart I will give you, and a new spirit I will put within you; and I will remove from your body the heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.  I will put my spirit within you, and make you follow my statutes and be careful to observe my ordinances.”

The Holy Spirit cannot be located as a Guest in a house, He invades everything.  He takes charge of everything, my part is to walk in the light and to obey all that He reveals.

From Romans 6:4-5:  “Therefore we have been buried with him by baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life.”

Rejoice always!  If Jesus is present then joy is not absent.

From Psalm 16:11:  “You show me the path of life.  In your presence there is fullness of joy; in your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”

Corrie ten Boom (Dutch-born writer)

Any concern too small to be turned into a prayer is too small to be made into a burden.

Max Lucado (American-born pastor and author)

Our prayers may be awkward.  Our attempts may be feeble.  But since the power of prayer is in the one who hears it and not in the one who says it, our prayers do make a difference.

From 1 John 5:14:  “And this is the boldness we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.”

I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.

From Colossians 3:14:  “ Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.”

From Galatians 5:1:  “For freedom Christ has set us free.  Stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.”

Burdened by life’s BIG problem

All of man living in sin

Selfishness fueling mistakes

Where should we turn to begin?

 

Come forward to accept Him

Forgiveness granted from God

Washing away timeless guilt

Can’t forgive self, living flawed

 

Struggle with self-forgiveness

Guilt’s shadow never pulls back

God’s grace-filled pardon waiting

Feeling unloved, sin attacks

 

Filling ourselves with sadness

Self-imposed standards now crash

Rely on works over faith

Sin making us feel like trash

 

Kneeling at Calvary’s cross

Jesus’ blood setting us free

No longer chained to darkness

Forgiving ourselves, guilt flees

From Psalm 51:10-12:  “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me.  Do not cast me away from your presence, and do not take your holy spirit from me.  Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and sustain in me a willing spirit.”

Christian brotherhood is not an ideal which we must realize; it is rather a reality created by God in Christ in which we may participate.

From Psalm 133:1:  “How very good and pleasant it is when kindred live together in unity!”

When we have something to share, we naturally want undivided attention.  Guess what–God is the same way.  He speaks with a purpose and expects our complete focus and attention.

From 1 Samuel 3:8-10:  “The Lord called Samuel again, a third time.  And he got up and went to Eli, and said, ‘Here I am, for you called me.’  Then Eli perceived that the Lord was calling the boy.  Therefore Eli said to Samuel, ‘Go, lie down; and if he calls you, you shall say, Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.’  So Samuel went and lay down in his place.  Now the Lord came and stood there, calling as before, ‘Samuel! Samuel!’  And Samuel said, ‘Speak, for your servant is listening.'”
