Saturday February 9, 2013 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-We didn't earn salvation, it was a gift to us-

2-It is a myth that says the more you love someone, the bigger and more expensive the gift you should give them-

3-Showing your love is more important than just saying it for actions speak louder than words-

4-Ask yourself, "What am I investing my life in that truly doesn't have any eternal impact?"-probably most of it-

5-Jesus, break my heart for what breaks yours-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT-If marriage was outlawed, only outlaws would have in laws-

 

I'VE LEARNED-It is your friends who make your world-

 

DID YOU KNOW-All organic compounds contain carbon-

 

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Why is love hard to understand?

2-Do we learn to love or are we born knowing how to love?

3-At what point do we learn that love is giving, not receiving-

4-Do we love because it is something we do, something we feel or something we are?

5-Is love expressed in God giving his son or his son responding willingly to his father's desires?

 

BIBLE TRIVIA-Who received a vision of the Jerusalem temple while he was in exile in Babylon?

Yesterday's answer-The temple of the god Berith   Judges 9:46-49

 

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY    John 13:18-20

¹⁸ “I am not talking about all of you. I know those I have chosen. But this is to bring about what the Scripture said: ‘The man who ate at my table has turned against me.’^{[a] 19} I am telling you this now before it happens so that when it happens, you will believe that I am he. ²⁰ I tell you the truth, whoever accepts anyone I send also accepts me. And whoever accepts me also accepts the One who sent me.”

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, You welcome all to be a part of Your kingdom: the young and the old, the weak and the strong, those born in ideal circumstances and those conceived in the worst imaginable setting. All the days ordained for our lives were written in Your book before one of them came to be. Because You take broken vessels and piece them back together with Your miraculous healing touch no soul is without hope. For those dedicated to spreading this message of life and hope to mothers and fathers of the unborn we pray that they will be spurred on by the power of Your Holy Spirit. May their voices make a welcoming difference to innocent lives in our hostile world, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Amen.

 

 

TODAY WILL NEVER COME AGAIN. BE A BLESSING. BE A FRIEND. ENCOURAGE SOMEONE. TAKE TIME TO CARE. LET YOUR WORDS AND ACTIONS HEAL AND NOT WOUND.
