"BECOMING A WOMAN OF EXCELLENCE"
Posted On 03/18/2008 10:30:02

Becoming A Woman Of Excellence


A woman of excellence
Is what I long to be
Filled with your godly wisdom
So it is part of me

A woman of integrity
No matter what I face
Standing up for righteousness
And for your saving grace

A woman of destiny
Living out your plan
Knowing where you’d have me walk
Being guided by your hand

A woman of promise
Standing on your word
Holding on to all the truths
While carrying out your work

A woman of compassion
For the ones in the dark
Those that do not know your love
And have darkness in their hearts

A woman that will never
Compromise the faith
With what the world may offer
But will keep the narrow way

A woman who loves Jesus
And will only follow Him
Gladly to give up the world
So His light can shine within

Lord this is my earnest prayer
As a daughter by your grace
Grow in me these qualities
As I walk with you in faith

"OUR TRUE VALENTINE"
Posted On 02/13/2008 19:07:38

 

"We love Him, because He first loved us." I John 4:19



Love....
Is from the heart
Of the Father
The giver of every
Good and perfect gift,
For love is
The greatest gift of all.

Love....
Has touched us
And brought us
Every meaningful thing
That is in our lives,
For love always gives
The BEST.

 

Love....
Will keep us
And nourish us
Enriching each day
Of our journey
For love is always growing
And will abide FOREVER!!

 

 

The greatest love story ever told can be found in God's Word...commonly called the "Gospel In A Nutshell", the scripture is found in the gospel of John 3:16..."For God so loved the WORLD..that He gave His only begotten SON..that WHOSOEVER believeth in Him .....SHOULD NOT perish.....but have EVERLASTING LIFE."

 

 

John 5:13.."Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." This is exactly what Jesus Christ did for us...nearly 2,000 years ago..What a precious treasure He is for us today in this world of anger, hate, unrest, anxiousness, worry, and despair..He truly is the our true valentine.

God's Word For Today
Posted On 10/18/2007 07:22:50
 
Jeremiah 1-2 & Colossians 3

COMPASSION OF CHRIST

As God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience (Colossians 3:12).

Have you ever done anything contrary to God's will?  Everyone has!  The Bible tells us that no human is perfect; each one has dishonored God in words, actions, and thoughts.  It also tells us that Jesus died for us even though we were sinners (Romans 5:8).  His love for us is beyond doubt.

When Jesus was on earth, He showed His love for the "unlovable:" sinners, criminals, prostitutes, and a host of others who were shunned by their contemporaries.  His love for these people did not mean that Jesus approved of their actions; it meant He loved them in spite of their actions.

Today, Christians demonstrate the love of Christ by compassionate treatment of others, including those who do not know the Lord.  Christians don't have to approve of unbelievers' lifestyles, appearances, or beliefs, but we can show them that we have Christ-like love for them.  Perhaps in doing so we can win them to Christ.

Challenge for Today: Follow the guidelines from Colossians 3:12 to show Christ's love to everyone.

Daily Prayer Emphasis: The peace of Jerusalem and God's plan to come to pass.


BELIEVERS ENCOURAGING EACH OTHER!!
Posted On 10/12/2007 02:02:01
First of all, let me warn all of you, I am not a blogger. I just want to share a little something this morning with you. I have a friend on another site, that is a great blogger, and she is also a powerful "woman of God", with a message to saints and sinners alike. Well, the problem ,as I see it, is that no one comments her or encourages her on the blogs. I try to encourage my fellow Believers  in whatever they are doing for the cause of Christ. I guess I am saying all this, to ask that you will please support your brothers and sisters in the Lord, whenever they are working so hard for the good of us all. I know that the Lord will give them the ultimate reward, and they are not looking to be patted on the back for doing Kingdom word, but a little encouragement now and then won't hurt!! This made me stop and look at myself as well, and I didn't like what I saw, so I vow to be more faithful in getting by to read your blogs and anything that you have posted that is important to the Body of Christ! Much love to all of you!!!!
