Saturday February 21, 2015 thought for the day




HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY
1-Love is the life of our heart-
2-Motives are the real reason we do any of the things we do-
3-The problems with the Pharisees was that their actions looked good but their motives were not-
4-A person's character is determined by their motives-
5-God judges us by our hearts, nothing else-
 
STRANGE THOUGHT-Don't judge a book by it's movie-
 
I'VE LEARNED-Those who commit to do God's will always find themselves kneeling next to Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane praying "not my will but yours be done"-
 
DID YOU KNOW-Arnold Schonberg suffered from triskaidecphobia, the fear of the number thirteen.  He died thirteen minutes from midnight on Friday the thirteenth-
 
5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW
1-How do you know if you are truly sanctified?
2-Is being sanctified just being separated from worldly things?
3-Love sent Jesus to the cross.  Was it love for his father or love for us to reconcile us to the father?
4-Besides Christianity, does any religion have love at it's core?
5-What can we do for others that would express God's love for them?
 
BIBLE TRIVIA-What, until recent years, was the most popular English Bible used by Roman Catholics?
Answer for the day     The Douay Version
 
SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY   Mark 8:11-13
11 The Pharisees came to Jesus and began to ask him questions. Hoping to trap him, they asked Jesus for a miracle from God. 12 Jesus sighed deeply and said, “Why do you people ask for a miracle as a sign? I tell you the truth, no sign will be given to you.” 13 Then Jesus left the Pharisees and went in the boat to the other side of the lake.
 
PRAYER FOR THE DAY
 Praying man Father, we ask for clean hands, a pure mind, and a steadfast heart that follows hard after You. Temptation regularly knocks at our door, but with Your Holy Spirit residing within, we have the will and desire to turn it away.  We don’t want even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, or anything considered improper for Your holy people. It is through Christ that we can live such a life above reproach and honoring to You. 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!
