Happy "Global Forgiveness Day": Aug 27, 2010

America is a country full of random holidays...
National bring your teddy bear to work and school day (Oct 13), International Pancake day (February 16), Gorgeous grandma day (July 23),Talk like a pirate day (Sep 19), to name a few. But, of all the holidays that seem to be insignificant, today’s may be one to consider supporting. In Ephesians 4:32 Paul says to be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another just as God in Christ forgave you. If we understood the amount of forgiveness that was given to us by God, why do we find it so hard to forgive one another? C.S. Lewis says, “To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you.”

Friday Favs: Speak

Psalm 119:46 I will speak of your testimonies before kings and not be ashamed. “You can love with your hands, you can love with your deeds, but how will they know unless we speak?” Jimmy Needham passionately expresses his concern for Christians relying on their actions to proclaim His name, as an excuse for not speaking His name. What’s holding you back? Speak His name!

Monday Memorization

May your mind dwell on these words today...

"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

A thought for today...

Eccl. 6:9 "It's better to enjoy what we have than to always want something else, because that makes no more sense than chasing the wind." (CEV)

Thank the Lord today for all that He has provided for you (family, a home, friends, health, sight, salvation, His Word...). Girls, may we realize today that true contentment only comes when we trust God and find fulfillment in Him.
