THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY

1-The supreme example of early Christians absolute trust in God was their acceptance of persecution-

2-In many places where our Bibles use the word "witness" ,the early Christians were really "martyrs"-

3-The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it-

4-Those we love don't have to be exactly like us.  Life is too short for drama and petty things so kiss slowly, laugh insanely, love truly, forgive quickly and pray often-

5-Friendship isn't about who you have known the longest, it is about those who came into your life and never left your side-

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY

Isaiah 53:4-6     But he took our suffering on him and felt our pain for us.
We saw his suffering and thought God was punishing him.
⁵ But he was wounded for the wrong we did; he was crushed for the evil we did.
The punishment, which made us well, was given to him, and we are healed because of his wounds.
⁶ We all have wandered away like sheep; each of us has gone his own way.
But the Lord has put on him the punishment for all the evil we have done.
