Romans 8:38-39

38.   For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

39.   Not height, nor death, nor any other creature, shall be able to seperate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Striving Together

          Have you ever had a thought along these lines, "I can't read a book without finding swears or filthy information in it."

         Well, look no further. Striving Together Publications is the only place I personally have bought books from, and they have not let me down. Their bookstore contains many great books depending on your area of need.

Jesus is the Answer

       

JESUS is the Answer

 

When life seems like giant waves crashing all around you,

        and you lose sight of the shore,

        and your situations all seem dark and stormy...

look to Jesus.

       

When you feel like no one understands you,

and no one seems to care,

and your heart gives into lonely thoughts...

talk to Jesus.

 

When everything seems dull and dreary,

and life seems to hold no joy for you,

and your hope is almost gone...

sing to Jesus.

 

SO

When you face the insurmountable,

and know you can't face it on your own,

and you're hoping for a miracle...

trust in Jesus - He's the One.

Random Thoughts

        Treasure the little moments now while you have them. Spend time with the people you love and are closest to this summer, because after the time is spent, you won't get it back. Our time to made a difference is short, so if you see a need, fill a need...and let Christ's light shine through you. Be willing to be used of God, and stand still so God can move. Thank God for everything and praise Him even when things seem bad. Don't be afraid to sing praises to God because you think you can't sing or because you don't like your voice. God wants to hear you sing, and everyone else's opinion doesn't matter. Looks aren't everything. Don't judge people or a situation too quickly, you may not have all the details.

                                Don’t Quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,

When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill,

When the funds are low and the debts are high

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit,

Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,

As every one of us sometimes learns,

And many a failure turns about

When he might have won had he stuck it out;

Don’t give up though the pace seems slow–

You may succeed with another blow,

Success is failure turned inside out–

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,

And you never can tell how close you are,

It may be near when it seems so far;

So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit–

It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.

A Tender Heart

A TENDER HEART

Ron Hamilton

 

Take me now, Lord Jesus, take me;

I would give my heart to Thee.

Thy devoted servant make me,

Only Thine to be.

 

Savior, while my heart is tender,

I would give Thee every part.

All my talents I surrender;

I am Thine, Lord, here's my heart.

 

Use me now, Lord Jesus, use me,

As I tell of Calvary.

May Thy Spirit move within me,

Bringing souls to Thee.

 

Savior, while my heart is tender,

I would give Thee every part.

All my talents I surrender;

I am Thine, Lord, here's my heart.

 

Send me now, Lord Jesus, send me,

Lead me in Thy perfect way.

Thy command shall always guide me;

Gladly I obey.

 

Savior, while my heart is tender,

I would give Thee every part.

All my talents I surrender;

I am Thine, Lord, here's my heart.

Being Yourself

Girls & Women:
Exterior beauty will fade away over time. It is the "inner beauty" that will never fade - what's in your heart. It is things like kindness towards others, a positive attitude, a joyful spirit, and even modesty that will set us apart from others. You may be able to fool boys and men with a boatload of makeup, curled hair, and stylish clothes - but what's on the inside will come out eventually. By looking at the women around me, I have thought many times that it's the outside that counts...that I have to look pretty in order to get a guy to notice me. Now I think differently. The right guy will like you just the way you are - makeup or no makeup. The right guy will be able to look past the surface, and will fall in love with your personality and your characteristics and everything about you. And if he wants you to change anything about yourself, you shouldn't be with him.

People will always judge how you look, count on it. But, people will never forget your unique personality and what makes you, you - believe it.
