Make Me an Instrument of Your Peace

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love,
Where there is injury, pardon
Where there is doubt, faith,
Where there is despair, hope,
Where there is darkness, light,
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much
seek to be consoled as to console,
not so much to be understood as to understand,
not so much to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
it is in dying that we awake to eternal life.

St. Francis of Assisi

Your Christian walk is no accident --- it is an Echo of
who you are in Christ.

The value of consistent prayer is not that He will hear us, but
that we will hear Him.

Time is too swift for those who fear,
too long for those who grieve,
too short for those who rejoice,
but for those who love - time is eternity.

- Henry Van Dyke

[nChrist]

Lord Jesus, what an amazing path You walked — from humble servanthood to a heavenly throne. What a grand exaltation will be Yours forever. What an astounding joy to know that I will join You in that exaltation, serving You eternally. Lord, I humble myself before You anew. Make me You faithful servant now while I await the glorious privilege that is coming, Amen.

If you are a Christian,
you are not a citizen of this world
 trying to get to heaven; 
you are a citizen of heaven
making your way through this world.

"We can either choose to grovel in our own self-pity
or rejoice
in whatever state we may find ourselves."

AS WE HAVE ENTERED INTO THIS  NEW YEAR 2011,  MY PRAYER IS THAT IT BE ONE OF PEACE AS YOU REST IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. I pray dear Lord of manifold grace, I earnestly yearn to grow in every aspect of Your grace. Lord Jesus, I humbly desire to find increasing intimacy with You. Please work Your grace deeply into my heart  and manifest it fully, as you live your life through me. I will trust you to make all the choices, and give you praise and credit for all.  Amen

Not until we have become humble and teachable, standing in awe of God's holiness and sovereignty....acknowledging our own littleness, distrusting our own thoughts, and willing to have our minds turned upside  down, can divine wisdom become ours.

J. I. Packer

Freedom In Trusting God

God can be trusted no matter what. We should have an attitude of complete faith, for this pleases God.

God as our trust because He is not a man that He can lie. He is the God of integrity, the only One who can be relied upon at all times. "It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man" (Psalm 118:8 ). We are let down so many times because we place our trust in man when God is the only One who is faithful. "If we are faithless, he will remain faithful" (II Timothy 2:13, NIV). Let go and place all of your trust in God; He will never fail you. "Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised)" (Hebrews 10:23).

God is the great reality. His resources are available and endless.
His promises are real and glorious, beyond our wildest dreams.

This moment is all you're guaranteed, tomorrow may never come ...... (in this world) ...... so live it up, ..... love it up .... laugh it up ........ and put Jesus at the very center of every moment ....... and enjoy.

This is the abundant life God was talking about ........ seize it ....... sufficient to each day are it's troubles ..... we can either live in those troubles or by faith in God ........ cast all our cares on Him and live in His joy ............... you choose.

Christ's death on the cross included a sacrifice for all our sins, past, present, and future. Every sin that you will ever commit has already been paid for. All of our sins were future when Christ died two thousand years ago. There is no sin that you will ever commit that has not already been included in Christ's death.

- Erwin W. Lutzer

Dear Lord of light, I praise You for bringing me out of darkness into Your gracious light. Grant me grace to proclaim Your excellencies. Shine Your light into the hearts I hope to reach. Grant them the miracle of resting and trusting you in your high calling of us, in the Lord Jesus we pray. Amen.

The will of God will never take you, where the grace of God cannot keep you, where the arms of God cannot support you, where the riches of God cannot supply your needs, where the power of God cannot endow you.

The will of God will never take you, where the Spirit of God cannot work through you, where the wisdom of God cannot teach you, where the army of God cannot protect you, where the hands of God cannot mold you.

The will of God will never take you, where the love of God cannot enfold you, where the mercies of God cannot sustain you, where the peace of God cannot calm your fears, where the authority of God cannot overrule for you.

The will of God will never take you, where the comfort of God cannot dry your tears, where the Word of God cannot feed you, where the miracles of God cannot be done for you, where the omnipresence of God cannot find you.

Everything happens for a purpose.
We may not see the wisdom of it all NOW, but trust and believe
in the Lord that everything is for the best.
