"...Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead". Philippians3:13(LB)
As we flick the calendar to a New Year,we come face to face with the fact that our days on earth are numbered.As the Psalmist wrote,"Teach us to number our days,that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom."No thoughtful person can approach New Year's Day
without some introspection.We are remainded of the brevity of time.We also look back over our failures,mistakes,and missed opportunities,and vow that we will make better use of our time during the coming year.We should take time to be pleasant,to smile,to extend the small courtesies we often omit-to show love to our family.Psychiatrists tell us that most people are starved for love.Take time for the goodbye kiss;we shall go to work with a sweeter spirit.Let us take time to get acquainted with our families.We are not machines.We are not robots.The secret of a happy home is that members of the family learn to give and receive love. Let us take time this year to express our love in a thousand ways.
Prayer For The Day:
As I begin a New Year,Lord Jesus,I Pray that my walk through the days ahead will be filled with your love for others,a love that does not count the cost.. 作者: wu-jun 时间: 2007-9-11 10:49
"O God,thou art my God;early will I seek thee:my soul thirsteth for thee..." Psalm 63:1
There are some Christians who have learned little of a daily devotional life. Some time ago a policeman asked me what the secret of victorious living was. I told him that there is no magic formula that can be pronounced.If any word could describe it, I would say surrender. The second word I would say would be devotion. Nothing can take the place of a daily devotional life with Christ.Your quiet time,your prayer time,the time you spend in the world,is absolutely essential for a happy Christian life.You cannot possibly be a happy,dynamic,and powerful Christian apart from a daily walk with Christ.Christ is calling Christians today to cleansing, to consecration ,and to full surrender.It will make the difference between success and failure in your spiritual life.It will make the difference between being helped and helping others.It will make a difference in your habits,in your prayer life, in your Bible reading ,in your giving ,in your testimony,and in your church membership.This is the christian hour of decision!
Prayer For The Day:
I long for a deeper devotional life,Living Lord.May I Consecrate myself completely to you.. 作者: 懿怡妈妈 时间: 2007-9-26 14:02 标题: 一月三日
"As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you;continue ye in my love." (John15:9)
You remember the great Swiss theologian,Dr.karl Barth.Dr.Barth was probably in his generation the greatest theologian in the world,and a great philosopher as well.I did not always agree with him,but he was my friend and I respected him. While he was in this country, a student at one of the seminaries said,"Dr.Barth，what is the greatest truth that ever crossed your mind?" All the seminary students were sitting on the edge of their seats to hear some great,profound,deep,complicated answer.Dr.Barth raised his great shaggy gray head slowly and looked at the student and said,"Jesus loves me,this I know,for the Bible tells me so."
Prayer For The Day:
Lord Jesus,may I always keep the knowledge of youe love in true simplicity-unencumbered by much learning.Thank you for loving me.. 作者: xiaoshunshun 时间: 2007-10-3 16:57
"The Lord is my light and my salvation;whom shall I fear?" Psalm 27:1
Today many people are living in the bondage of fear. In a recent study, a psychiatrist said that the greatest problem facing his patients was fear. Afraid of going insane,committing suicide, being alone, or afraid of heart disease,cancer,disater,or death. We are becoming a nation of fearful people. Down through the centuries in times of trouble,temptation,trial,bereavement,and crisis, God has bought courage to the hearts of those who love Him. The Bible is crowded with assurances of God"s help and comfort in every kind of trouble which might cause fears to arise in the human heart. Today the Christian can come to the Scriptures with full assurance that God is going to deliver the person who puts his trust and confidence in God. Christians can look into the future with promise, hope and joy, and without fear,discouragement, or despondency.
Prayer For The Day:
Your assurances of love still the fears of my heart, Lord.. 作者: 懿怡妈妈 时间: 2007-10-24 09:48 标题: 一月五日
