A horse is a false hope for deliverance; Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength. Psalm 33:17 The more men are surrounded with human protection, the more they withdraw themselves from God, and by a false imagination persuade themselves that they are in a haven safe from all disturbance. John Calvin

Romans 5:6-8 (NIV)
6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless,
Christ died for the ungodly.
7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person,
though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die.
8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this:
While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Hi Lord, its me.
We are getting older and things are getting bad here.
Gas prices are too high, no jobs, food and heating costs too high.
I know some have taken you out of our schools, government and even
Christmas, but Lord I am asking you to come back and re-bless our country.
We really need you!
There are more of us who want you than those who do not!
Thank You Lord,
I Love you.

Thought:
The Best cure for worry, depression, melancholy, brooding,
is to go deliberately forth
& try to lift with one's sympathy, the gloom of someone else.
~ Arnold Bennett~

Thank you Tonie Sis'

"God's love of the loveless is the distinctive message of the Gospels. "When we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly." Romans 5:6 "While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8 "For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son." Romans 5:10

So, as you pause to consider the kind of Christian you are—
and the kind of Christian you want to become—
ask yourself whether you’re sitting on the fence or standing in the light.
The choice is yours . . . and so are the consequences.

Thank you Robert

"Ambition is like the sea which swallows all the rivers and is none the fuller; or like the grave whose insatiable maw for ever craves for the bodies of men. It is not like an amphora, which being full receives no more, but its fulness swells it till a still greater vacuum is formed. In all probability, Napoleon never longed for a sceptre till he gained the baton, nor dreamed of being conqueror of Europe till he had gained the crown of France. Caligula, with the world at his feet, was mad with a longing for the moon, and could he have gained it the imperial lunatic would have coveted the sun. It is in vain to feed a fire which grows the more voracious the more it is supplied with fuel; he who lives to satisfy his ambition has before him the labour of Sisyphus, who rolled up hill an ever-rebounding stone, and the task of the daughters of Danaus, who are condemned for ever to attempt to fill a bottomless vessel with buckets full of holes."

- C.H. Spurgeon

As your faith is strengthened you will find that there is no longer the need to have a sense of control, that things will flow as they will, and that you will flow with them, to your great delight and benefit.

Count your blessings ~ not your worries

 

[davedajobauk]

Love is not all about happiness.
Sometimes there will be arguments, there will be hurting.
It may seem that the magic fade sometimes,
but the test of true love is how you hold on to one another
and fight for it when the battle seems to be a losing one.
~unknown

Luke 1:26-28. "In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.””
