This is the beginning of a new day. 
I have been given this day to use as I will. 

I can waste it or use it for good. 
What I do today is important because I'm exchanging a day of my life for it. 

When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever, leaving in its place whatever I have traded for it. 

I pledge to myself that it shall be gain, not loss; good, not evil; success, not failure; in order that I shall not regret the price I paid for this day.

                                     Forgiveness

Why Forgive?
 
Forgiving is very difficult for a lot of us.
It takes away our freedom and leave us
Emotionally bitter and unhappy.
Many simply try to ignore it.
 
Forgive others so that
God can forgive you. Free your  heart
From hatred and enjoy the happiness
In your life.

  Let go of the anger,
It makes you dark inside.
Remember God is in control,
He is by your side.

Separate the person,
From what they have done.
Forgive him for that which,
To you, he has done wrong.

It isn't easy to forgive,
To let the anger and hurt go.
But I know Christ will help you,
As his love to you he'll show.

So now let go of that fear,
That he will again hurt you.
For you are now in God's arms,
And he will carry you.

And all that pain you feel,
Will ease and fade away,
If you will just forgive him,
Leave behind that anger today.

So let go of your anger
It makes you dark inside,
Remember God is always here,
Always by your side. 

 

Love 

      We tend to believe that love is mushy

Stuff and blind ! I have discovered though
 That to truly love someone you need
 To see them truthfully, the good,
 The bad, and the ugly!
 
If you can see that and still say I love you,
 Then you know what love is!
   I also have discovered that love takes many forms,
 And arrives unexpectedly in all sorts of places!
And generally sneaks up behind you.
 
 

If we fear who we are to others is it that we fear ourselves or do we
Fear those we are supposed to fear?
If we fear how do we overcome that fear?
The answer most would tell you is to confront it. Do what it is that you fear doing.
The only fear that is ok that is righteous is the fear God him and him alone should I fear, no one other than him, a) deserves our fear, B) should be feared as, if he is for us who can be against us?
So being human how do I overcome the fears I have especially if my brain is able to rationalize those fears?
 
 

 Fear can destroy us and take control if we allow it to. The question, the real question I must ask myself is will that fear destroy me? The answer is that it can not, because if I allow fear to destroy me I take the impact of God's mercy and strength to hold me and save me away. If I allow these fears to hold me back from doing and being, what and who God wants me to, I then take the significance of God's love and Jesus' sacrifice down to a level in my life that is below fear.
 
 
 Meaning I have placed my fears above God, so I must not just overcome these fears I must destroy them. Now how do I destroy it? Well fear is dark and the only place darkness can not exist is in light and since Christ is the Light of the world if I truly invite him to dwell in me there is then no room for fear, but the fear of God.  
 
 
Belief
 
 
A lot of People question  "How can you believe"  "We have seen to much not to!"
When you see the impossible turn into reality over night!
When you seen his healing, when doctors give less than 1% chance!

When you feel someone's pain! And can share it!
When you have seen a crop grow after a drought!
When yourself in a deep hole in your life and an unexpected hand that 
 Helped you out, that was God's hand and you have experienced it in your Life!

 Foot Prints

  

One night a man had a dream.

He dreamed he was walking along

the beach with the LORD.

Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.

For each scene,

He noticed two sets of footprints in the sand;

one belonging to him,

and the other to the LORD.

When the last scene of his life flashed

before him, he looked back at the

footprints in the sand. He noticed that

many times along the path of life,

there was only one set of footprints.

He also noticed that it happened at the very

lowest and saddest times in his life.

This really bothered him,

and he questioned the LORD about it.

LORD, You said that once I decided to follow You,

You'd walk with me all the way.

But I have noticed that during the most

troublesome times in my life, there is

only one set of footprints.

I don't understand why when I needed You

most You would leave me.

The LORD replied,"My son, my precious child.

I love you, and I would never leave you.

During your times of trial and suffering,

when you see only one set of footprints,

it was then that I carried you.
I Love you God
