Saturday August 16, 2014 thought for the day



HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY
1-Don't be afraid to fail, be afraid not to try-
2-No smile is more beautiful than the one that struggles through tears-
3-The dying Jesus is the evidence of God's anger toward sin, but the living Jesus is proof of God's love and forgiveness-
4-What you do is vastly more important than what you feel-
5-Feelings are usually based on external circumstances and events, which are also temporary-
STRANGE THOUGHT-Most of us know how to say nothing, but few of us know when-
I'VE LEARNED-Goals are dreams with deadlines-
DID YOU KNOW-Thomas Jefferson was the first president to be inaugurated in Washington, D.C.-
5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW
1-Did Adam and Eve ever tell their children about their own disobedience of God's instruction to them?
2-Had Cain known what disobedience was prior to his killing Abel?
3-Is it always our own fault when we sin or do wrong?
4-If God talked to Cain about his bad behavior and resulting anger, didn't he know God would know about his killing Abel?
5-Was Cain's murder of Abel premeditated?
BIBLE TRIVIA-According to Jesus, what causes the angels to rejoice?
Answer for today    a repentant sinner  Luke 15:10
SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY   Romans 5:1-2
Since we have been made right with God by our faith, we have[a] peace with God. This happened through our Lord Jesus Christ, who through our faith[b] has brought us into that blessing of God’s grace that we now enjoy. And we are happy because of the hope we have of sharing God’s glory.
