A
dead tree still stands tall.
But
soon, it will fall down.
Watch
out! Don’t get hit!
You
won’t hear a sound.
Do
you feel like that dead tree?
Or
are you full of life?
Are
you connected to Jesus and His Love?
Or
is your heart full of strife?
Plug
into Jesus.
Accept
and LIVE in His Love.
He
will give you abundant life.
And
peace, hope, and joy from above.
How
do we do this?
By
walking in step with the Holy Spirit—
Our
Helper from Jesus.
The
One who enables us to soar through it—
This
life which is so tough at times.
But
because we have our Helper,
As
God’s children, we have the strength
To
do all things through the power of our Great Deliverer.
Praise
God from whom we receive all good and perfect things—
May
we be full of His life.
For
it is only found in Jesus.
We
as God’s children are Jesus’ Bride.
Marriage
reflects our relationship with Jesus.
O
may our marriages be full of respect and love,
That
our lives may point back to the Creator of marriage—
Our
God from up above!
In
Jesus’ Name, may you be full of His life today!
In
Jesus’ Name, Amen!
God
is so good, isn’t He? I just got back
from my first mission’s trip. My church
went to the inner city for an overnight trip.
We did a lot in a little more than 24 hours, were out in 97 degree
weather, and got a touch of heat exhaustion—but it was so worth it!
The
people I met are in my heart! I love
them, and I long to go back and build deeper relationships with them, so they
can truly come to know a life lived with Jesus.
But
we can bring the good news right here to the lost and hurting in our own town.
To
show some love, to be willing to listen and pray, and to be willing to share
the truth in gentleness and with respect, these are our privileges as Believers
and Followers of Christ.
May
we be full of the Life of Christ Jesus today, that we may bring it to others!
What
is my cup of SonShine today?
To
be full of the Life of Christ that I may bring it to those God places in my
path today.
God
has given us the power to love one person at a time—each person we come into
contact with.
“O
Father, please make us faithful and loving and patient and kind.
May
we not be like a dead tree with no life in it that is just going to hurt
someone when it falls down.
May
we be like a lush vine branch that is green because we are connected to You.
Only
by staying in Your Word and in prayer can we continue to stay in Your Love,
following You and obeying You by the power of Your Holy Spirit.
O
Father, You are SO GOOD to us!
Thank
You for Your Love!
Thank
You for Jesus!
Thank
You for making us!
I love
You, Lord.
I love
You SO MUCH!!!
Thank
You for being so very good to me!
"Thank
You for putting us all on the same level.
We
are all the same, no matter what, as long as we are human.
"For
we all have souls.
We
all sin.
We
all need a Savior.
And,
Jesus, You are Him!
For
God, You love us all—
No
matter what we see
As
humans looking on the outside—
In
Christ we can say, ‘You have recreated me.’
We
are all on one level.
We
all need Jesus.
God
loves us ALL no matter what!
And
it is because of this love that Jesus came to save us!
“Heavenly
Father, thank You so much for Jesus!
I
love You, Lord!
Make
us alive in Your love today, and unify all of Your people in Your love—regardless
of our differences.
We
face very real evil, and we need to join together as believers in Christ in the
bond of Your love and unity.
Father,
may we love one another, and continue to grow in You and reach out to those who
do not yet know You.
We
ALL need You, and may we never withhold Your love from anyone, be they friend
or foe, good or bad, ally or enemy.
May
we pray for one another as we are in this world.
Use
us as salt to season and as lights to shine and reflect You!
In
Jesus’ Name!
Lord,
You are so good!
In
Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
