STRANGE THOUGHT-Wrinkles don't hurt-

I'VE LEARNED-Facts are facts and will not go away just because you don't like them-

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-How much can God really forgive?

2-Why did Judas have to kiss Jesus to identify him?

3-Have angels ever stopped appearing to humans as messengers from God?

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY Matthew 7:13-14

¹³ "Enter through the narrow gate. The gate is wide and the road is wide that leads to hell, and many people enter through that gate. ¹⁴ But the gate is small and the road is narrow that leads to true life. Only a few people find that road.

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, each year as we enter into Holy Week, we consider each major event that ultimately led Your Son to the cross of Calvary. May our minds and hearts be yielded to the cross of Calvary as we contemplate the suffering, agony and betrayal Christ endured on our behalf. We are eternally grateful that we will someday stand before the throne of God, not because of our own goodness or achievements, but solely because of the finished redemptive work of Christ our Savior. Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna!

GREATLY BLESSED, HIGHLY FAVORED, IMPERFECT BUT FORGIVEN CHILD OF GOD!!!
