Preparing to Act Our Part

ENCOURAGEMENT !!!: Our Daily Test: Day by day God instructs His children. By the circumstances of the daily life He is preparing them to act their part upon the wider stage that His providence as appointed them.

Happiness is like Medicine

A happy heart does good like a medicine, but a broken heart dries up the bones. Proverbs 17:22

The mind has influence over the body. Happiness is conducive to life and health; but sorrow, worries, and anxiety lead to disease and death.

Insecurity

This world wide feeling of insecurity and fear, the unbridled reign of gangs and lawlessness, the low value on human life, the vice that flourishes in high places, the sodomlike condition of society, the economic struggle between capital and labor, the rising tide of anarchy, the disappearance of old standards of morals and home life, the form of godliness without the power of consistent living -- these are the last omens mentioned by Jesus that will mark His appearing in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Pastor J L Tucker! Founder of The Quiet Hour Redlands, California

Conquering Life's Mountains

Our sliding on the unstable slopes of Life has bruised us all.  Jesus, by holding on, was more than bruised - He died rather than let go His hold and let us perish.

Hulda Crooks, Conquering Lifes Mountains, p 87, Published by The Quiet Hour Inc, Redlands, Calif.

Hope

Were it not for my faith in God and the Soon second coming of Christ, life would be without hope.

Good Thought

The Lord is not willing that anyone should suffer eternal death, but that all should come to repentance! (and have eternal life!)

2 Peter 3:9, The Holy Scriptures, New Testament

Every person..

Every person is created by the same God,
Purchased by the blood of the same Saviour,
And has an individual life as dear to God as any other.

God loves Life

Throughout the years I've been blessed with many animal friends: Dogs, cats, horses, turtles,
, birds, parakeets, hamster. Someday, I hope to swim with dolphins! God created them all for our enjoyment!

God wanted humanity to have animal companions, as well as human companionship

God loves life!

Take an hour....

God loves you more than life itself. Jesus loves you more than your own parents or family! Jesus died for you!

The Holy Scriptures, the Bible, tells of God's love for humanity.

Take an hour or so, and read the Gospel of Mark.  Its a great introduction to Jesus life.  Read the other Gospels too. There are 4 all total. Each gives a different viewpoint on the life of Jesus.

One of my favorite parts is: the Gospel of John, chapters 14-17.

Blessings out of evil

When you follow God/Jesus Christ totally - He has your back.
He will bring goodness out of a bad situation.

God will bring blessings out of evil, because God loves you!
Follow Him closely in all things and He will direct your paths.

What God Doesn't Do

In my life experience, I have found that God doesn't do certain things.

For instance:
God doesn't stroke our egos; nor does He give us compliments about our beauty:
our face, figure, hair, make-up, etc.

 God is most concerned with our character, and how we are progressing spiritually.  
God is most concerned with our relationship with Him, and how this translates into our relationship with others.

I have found that the old devil speaks thoughts that appeal to our vanity.  

And when we are totally full of ourselves, the devil slams us down by saying how ugly we are, and that God could never accept such a mess!

But we are fine just the way God made us!

Of course we should always appear put together, presentable, clean and well groomed. But our main concern is to be close to God, and the kind way we treat others as we would like to be treated.
