When We Feel Lonely - Subscribe

Scripture: 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (New International Version) New International Version (NIV) The God of All Comfort 3Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. Reflection: There is no worst feeling than that of loneliness. It is so very true, "That you can be in a crowded room and still feel lonely". Loneliness can make a person feel so very empty. But you don't need to feel lonely or empty. Isn't it wonderful to know that God is with us? You are never alone because God is always, I repeat always with you. That is why my faith is so strong, because my God is always with me. What a wonderful feeling knowing God loves me and is with me. And because of this realization, when I see other people lonely, I need to make sure I make them feel loved. You see this simple act can be a God sent experience to a lonely person. So the next time you feel lonely, get happy with God, and pass it on. Prayer: Lord I praise You and look upon you with wonder. God make me an instrument of your companionship and love to all those who are lonely. In Jesus Name AMEN. |

Scripture: "God will strengthen you with His own great power so you will not give up when troubles come but you will be patient." ( Colossians 1:11) NCV Reflection: It's terrible being sad, it can consume your entire life. Sadness leads to so many negative things in our lives, it can even make us to weak to care about life. What can we do if we get to that point? We can reach out to the power of God. We can hold on to God and never give up. No matter how sad we get we have God. He cares for us and love's us. With His own great power, He will strengthen us. It's amazing, with God's power, what we can do. All we have to do is have a little patience. That's right patience. And after, with God's power, that sadness is lifted, spread your new found happiness to others. JUST REMEMBER WITH GOD'S POWER YOU CAN TURN YOUR DARKNESS INTO THE LIGHT OF JESUS CHRIST. Prayer: Oh Mighty God I'm sad today. I call upon your power to give me strength to overcome this sadness and turn into happiness. You are my light out of this world of darkness. Thank you God for being my light. In Jesus Christ name Amen. |

IS GOD YOUR FRIEND 9/12/2008 05:37 - Subscribe

Scripture: "No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing: but I have called you friends." (John 15:15) Reflection: Have you ever seen this quote by Claude Mermet "Friends are like melons; let me tell you why: To find a good one, you must one hundred try!" Its really hard to find a good friend isn't it? I mean lets face it, it's and important position. To be called a friend is very important, very important indeed. And you just don't want anyone you can call friend. I wonder if God identifies with that, I wonder if it's hard for God to find good friends. I wonder if God ever feels that way about us? When you think about it, isn't one of the things that you strive for in your relationship with your child, not only to be a good mother or father but also a friend. If we feel like that with our children, How do you think God feels about us as His children. Your God your creator, your savior, your king, and He is there wanting to be your friend. You know a good friend is there for you, a good friend loves and cares for you, a good friend will do anything for you. Wait a minute, doesn't that describe God? GOD....IS....YOUR....FRIEND!!!!! He is always there, why don't you give your friend a call. Prayer: Oh Lord my friend, thank you for being there for me. You are my God and King, and You are my friend, and I am Your friend and servant. Thank You God that I am secure in the fact that I can always come before you as a friend. THANK YOU GOD FOR BEING GOD! In Jesus Name AMEN |

I read this from www.heartlight.org, I thought you would enjoy reading it. VERSE: Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. -- Hebrews 12:2 http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Hebrews+12:2 THOUGHT: Who is your hero? I'm not asking for the Sunday school class answer, but the person you most actively admire! It is hard to "fix our eyes on Jesus" because he is not here where we can see him like other heroes. But he was the ultimate adventurer and trailblazer. He faced the horrific penalty and shame of the cross, taking away our sin! He did it so that we could have a hero that death and sin could not destroy, mar, or taint. He did it so that we could be confident that if we follow in his footsteps, the trail he blazed wasn't just for him, but for us, too! PRAYER: Holy God, forgive me when I chase what is false and let my focus shift from Jesus as my ultimate hero. I want to honor and serve him, having his life come alive in me, so that others may know the confidence that comes in having Jesus as their Lord. Words cannot express my gratitude to my Lord for his sacrifice and the horrible price he paid for my sins. Neither can words express my jubilation at his trailblazing victory that assures that I will someday be with you forever! It is in his name, Jesus Christ, that I pray. Amen. http://www.heartlight.org/cgi-shl/todaysverse.cgi?day=20070910 |
