According to the world, we love in order to be loved. According to the Word, we love because God first loved us. Whereas the world falls in love, God’s people are established in love. The love that we possess, however, is not a fleeting whim that comes and goes with every mood and circumstance; rather, it is a love that is beyond ourselves. Our love, true love, has meaning, meaning that cannot be stripped away by any thing, any one, or any feeling. Our love cannot be shaken because it is grounded not in self but in sacrifice.

"Good Rules"
 
 
1. Wake Up!
Decide to have a good day.
"Today is the day the Lord hath made; let us rejoice and
be glad in it." Psalms 118:24
 
2. Dress Up!
The best way to dress up is to put on a smile. A smile is
an inexpensive way to improve your looks.
"The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man
looks at outward appearance; but the Lord looks at the
heart." I Samuel 16:7
 
3. Shut Up!
Say nice things and learn to listen. God gave us two ears
and one mouth, so He must have meant for us to do twice as
much listening as talking.
"He who guards his lips guards his soul." Proverbs 13:3
 
4. Stand Up!
For what you believe in. Stand for something or you will
fall for anything.
"Let us not be weary in doing good; for at the proper time,
we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as
we have opportunity, let us do good..." Galatians 6:9-10
 
5. Look Up!
To the Lord.
"I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me". Philippians
4:13
 
6. Reach Up!
For something higher.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not unto
your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him,
and He will direct your path." Proverbs 3:5-6
 
7. Lift Up!
Your Prayers.
"Do not worry about anything; instead PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING."
 Philippians 4:6
 

"A POSITIVE THOUGHT"
 
If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it. If He had a
wallet, your photo would be in it. He sends you flowers every spring,
and a sunrise every morning. Whenever you want to talk, He'll listen.
He could live anywhere in the universe, and He chose your heart. What
about the Christmas gift He sent you in Bethlehem; not to mention
that Friday at Calvary. Face it, He's crazy about you.
 
 
"Now We All Need To Start Our Days Off Like This"
 
Monday:
Wash Day
Lord, help me wash away all my selfishness and vanity, so I may serve
you with perfect humility through the week ahead.

Dear Lord, help me iron out all the wrinkles of prejudice I have

O God, give me the grace to shop wisely so I may purchase eternal

Help me, my Savior, to brew a big kettle of brotherly love and serve it
with clean, sweet bread of human kindness.

O God, I have prepared my house for you. Please come into my heart so I
may spend the day and the rest of my life in your presence.
 
 
Have a Blessed Day
