“Open my eyes to the wonderful truths in your law.
I have chosen to be faithful; I have determined to live by your laws.
Lord, give me your unfailing love, the salvation that you promised me. Then I will have an answer for those who taunt me, for I trust in your word. […]

” One evening, Sir Harry Lauder, the famed Scottish humorist and comedian at the turn of the twentiteth century, told this.
He said, ” I was sitting in the gloomin’ a’ a man passed the window. He was the lamplighter. He pushed his pole into the lamp and lighted it. Then went to another and another. […]
Questioning the actions of people
might not get us very far.
Questioning God
will give us truthful replies.
Peace.
What you hold for yourself,
is what you get.
What you give away,
for God,
is not only what you get back
but also a hundredfold of it.
What we have isn’t our own,
but God’s.
If we tightly hold on to it,
fearing loss
God will not give us more.
It is only when we give what
God has given us away
that He grants us the
results […]
Anyone who’s ever been swimming under water can understand how it’s another world there.
The sounds from above are muffled, if you sense any at all.
Depending upon whether you have any apparatus or just holding your breath your experience will differ.
For the snorkeler or scuba diver, the experience can become surreal.
You see things you never had […]
Hope restores and renews purpose.
It’s your personal responsibility
to find your purpose.
You will have a purpose in your
life, but whether it is His purpose
or another person’s, is up to you.
Prayer incubates hope.
God knows the plan he has for you.
Pray that you may find the hope.
Pray that you may find His purpose for you.
Who hasn’t come across someone
who writes things on their hand
to remember them?
Perhaps you do this yourself!
Often, it’s someone’s name,
so they won’t forget it.
It’s important.
Did you know that
God has your name
written on His hand?
You’re important to Him,
and He won’t forget you.
There is no time like the present
to be ready for meeting God.
Why put it off?
Why continue to struggle with earthly
and worldly concerns
when you can go before God
in prayer and
find relief, hope, and contentment?
No one knows when their own life will end.
If you knew, would you wait until the last
moment anyway?
Think of it this way:
So many […]
God has a purpose for each one of us.
It’s up to us to find what it is.
The task isn’t a quick one,
and sometimes it’s difficult.
Sometimes we don’t find out
what it is until we’ve learned
many different things that
appear disconnected.
But God knows our path
and will guide our ways.
It’s up to us to keep in
touch with Him
