"Read only if you have time for God"

 

 

Let me tell you, make sure you read all the way to the bottom. I almost deleted this email but I was blessed when I got to the end.

 

Subject: READ ONLY IF YOU HAVE TIME FOR God

 

God, when I received this e-mail, I thought...

 

I don't have time for this... And, this is really inappropriate during work.

 

Then, I realized that this kind of thinking is... Exactly, what has caused lot of the problems in our world today.

 

We try to keep God in church on Sunday morning...
Maybe, Sunday night...
And, the unlikely event of a midweek service.
We do like to have Him around during sickness...
And, of course, at funerals.

 

However, we don't have time, or room, for Him during work or play...

 

Because... That's the part of our lives we think... We can, and should, handle on our own.

 

May God forgive me for ever thinking...
That... there is a time or place where..
HE is not to be FIRST in my life.

 

We should always have time to remember all HE has done for us.

 

Jesus said, "If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before my Father."

Yes, I do Love God.

HE is my source of existence and Savior.
He keeps me functioning each and every day. Without Him, I will be nothing. But, with Christ, HE strengthens me. (Phil 4:13)

 

 

"Special Prayer"

 

 

"Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and
to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to
those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done. We
have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values.
We confess that we have ridiculed the absolute truth of Your Word and
call it Pluralism.
We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.
We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.
We have killed our unborn and called it choice.
We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable.
We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self
esteem.
We have abused power and called it politics.
We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition.
We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it
freedom of expression.
We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called
it enlightenment.
Search us, Oh, God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin
and set us free.
Amen!"

 

 

Faith is being sure of what we hope for
and certain of what we do not see.
"Hebrews 11:1"

Sometimes it's hard to put your trust
in things you can't see, or touch, or hear.
But, with a God like ours, you don't have to.
Because we can see Him in the eyes,
hear Him in the voices, and feel Him
in the touch of people who care about us.

 

 

Have a Blessed Day
