Heart Thoughts

******************

     It is so discouraging to see someone mistreating someone else.  They don't like the way that they look.  They don't like who they are or simply that they exist.  When you see something like this it makes you want to hold up a big mirror in the person's face and ask them .. 'just who do you see?'.

   You are not perfect.  No one is perfect except for the good Lord himself.  We have no right to judge or mistreat other people.  A small act of kindness whether a kind word or a kind deed or even a smile makes a world of difference. 

  If I could make the perfect t shirt and give them away free, it would read 'shine your light like Jesus would'.  So go out there and make a positive difference.  Treat others the way that you would want to be treated.  

  But, the next time you see someone being unkind pray for them.  Give them a beautiful word of advice.  "Give kindness away.  It is free and is a beautiful seed from God's heart."

God bless you all.

The Most Precious Gift
Father:
Thank you for the wondrous hope of your gentle love,
Its light touches my willing heart so perfectly
It is a breathtaking gift from Heaven above
that brings refreshment and happiness just for me.

Your love begins to work in my heart each day,
Planting seeds of promise and great dreams so brand new
It works hard to take all things unlike you away
creating in me a new masterpiece so true.
There are no boundaries upon this gift at all,
It comes abundantly from your heart with much care
and flows with more significance when we may call
so that it can be seen so clearly everywhere.
It turns anger into peace once again,
and takes such intense fear and great worry away
Your gift turns the deepest enemies into friends
It always carves a new and wondrous pathway.
Lord, thank you for the gift of your precious sweet love,
Please bless my friends with an abundance of it too
I'm grateful for this priceless gift from you above
If it wasn't there, I don't know what we would do.
Amen

     Do you ever have those days where you feel so lost and alone?  You feel like you have no defined purpose and really can't see any promise ahead?  Well, that's not hard to experience, especially in today's dark world.  This fast-paced society can have a negative effect on any one.  

   So what do you do?  What is the answer?  The solution is found in a real relationship with the Lord above.  Is it really that simple?  Yes, it certainly is.  The Lord is the Creator of the Universe.  He has everything and everyone in the palm of His great hands.

  Remember one thing..your joy and happiness is found in Jesus.  It is not found in the world around you.  So give everything over to Him and trust Him.  Walk each day in the light of His great presence and love.

  He will take away that lonely feeling and replace it with perfect peace!

Lord, you are my inspiration that brings light to each new day,
You are my source of encouragement to take another step
You infiltrate my spirit with your love in a special way
and fill me with your sweet comfort, gentle peace and calming rest.

Hands of hope begin to work upon the hurt that's within me,
Taking all of the rugged pieces, and making something new
Seeing great paths of promise, and the best of all that can be
Ready to always be there for me in all that I may do.
You wipe away every tear, and give me your happiness,
and show me so clear, that to your heart, I am everything
I should not let hurt rule me, but, instead feel so very blessed
and thank you for the great things that just knowing you truly brings.
Amen

As we enter this holy week, let's stop and reflect upon the most precious gift that is available to all of us. Thank you Father for your sacrifice and for the gift of salvation that comes from a relationship with you. May you all have a blessed Easter.

Thought For The Day

The greatest thing that you can do is

take God's hand.

He is the Pilot

He has the key

He is the Playwright.

He is never wrong or mistaken.

Want the best?

Place it all in God's hands.

He'll take care of the rest. 

Father.
Shine the sweet beauty of your radiant love
Like a reflection of hope so perfectly
and bless all my friends from Heaven above
Be the light of promise they'll need and see.

Walk by them with every step each day
Give them a mighty peace that fills their soul
Be the answer they search for in every way
Let your spirit make them complete and whole.
Give them the strength and courage to see them through
and happiness to fill their heart with delight
Help them to see there is nothing they can't do
For it is all in your hands and by your might.
Let them see that you have a great plan in store
They are truly talented beyond compare
They can reach for their heart's dream and so much more
Show them they're truly unique and that you care.
Father, bless my friends with happiness from your heart
May your love shine as a smile on their face
Help them to live life to the fullest from the start
Reach out to each one with your greatest embrace.
