3-Kindness is the oil that takes the friction out of life-

4-People who are hurting don't need a tongue lashing, they need a tender touch-

5-Hurt people hurt people-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT-Life is short, smile while you still have teeth-

 

I'VE LEARNED-Three things in life are important-1-The first is to be kind, 2-The second is to be king, 3-The third is to be kind-

SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY      Luke 18:18-21

¹⁸ A certain leader asked Jesus, “Good Teacher, what must I do to have life forever?”

¹⁹ Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? Only God is good. ²⁰ You know the commands: ‘You must not be guilty of adultery. You must not murder anyone. You must not steal. You must not tell lies about your neighbor. Honor your father and mother.''
²¹ But the leader said, “I have obeyed all these commands since I was a boy.”

 

PRAYER FOR THE DAY 

Lord, You know the spiritual pulse of our heart. The allurement to go with the popular and trendy way of thinking is ever before us.  This is especially true since we’re barraged with these kinds of messages each day. Some of our readers are subjected daily to these same messages in their own families.  Help us to be intentional in taking a bold stand as we go against the waves of humanism and false religious systems.  May our love and devotion to You rise up and overtake any fear or intimidation that would otherwise paralyze our witness in settings where Your name is not revered. As believers we no longer belong to this world so we will never find a comfortable place here.  Give us grace and endurance to be a faithful witness in this world even when hated and maligned by others.  In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.


LIVE SIMPLY! LOVE GENEROUSLY! CARE DEEPLY! SPEAK KINDLY! LEAVE THE REST WITH GOD!
