~ DIVINE HELP, DIVINE POWER ~

Whenever God's Spirit

is Working and Blessing,

there will always be the Sweet

fragrance of Kindness.

It is staggering to remember that Peter walked with Jesus for three Years and received Teaching, Discipleship, and a Moral example unparalleled in all of History. And yet all of that never made Peter the man God intended him to be.

It is not until we see Peter "filled with the Holy Spirit" that things really turned around. No wonder Jesus excitedly assured them that greater days were coming for all of them when the Holy Spirit, their invisible Helper, came upon them in Power.

Ministry is especially Hopeless without the Holy Spirit. Our attempt at Ministry will be an absolute exercise in futility if we are not expecting and experiencing Divine help through the Power of the Holy Spirit.

Blessings can either Humble us

and draw us closer to God,

or allow us to become full of Pride

and Self~Sufficiency.

~ AMAZING GRACE ~

{Jesus said,} "God so Loved the World that He gave His only begotten

Son, that whoever Believes in Him should not Perish but

have Everlasting Life."

JOHN 3:16 NKIV

During a Conference on World Religions held in Great Britain, some o the greatest Theologians in the World began a friendly Debate as to what Belief ~ if any ~ in the Christian Faith made it unique from the other Religions of the World.

The Debate soon grew heated as possibilities were considered and eliminated. Could it be the Incarnation? No, there were other Religions that had Gods who took on the form of a Human. Could it be the Resurrection? No, there were some Religions in the World that held claim to accounts of a return from death.

Eventually C.S. Lewis entered the room to see what the commotion was about, and when he heard the topic up for Debate, he nonchalantly responded. "Oh, that's easy! It's GRACE." After further discussion, the "Experts" had to agree.

The idea that God freely offers Salvation ~ no matter what good or bad deeds we have done ~ is unique among all Religions of the World. Buddhists in China, Muslims in Saudi Arabia, Hindus in India ~ all are seeking a way to Please God by the things that they do, the Sacrifices they make, the Penances they perform. But God's Love is Unconditional: Your performance doesn't matter!

Jesus has already paid the price ~ and because of "HIS SACRIFICE", "GOD'S GRACE" is available to you today. All you have to do is "ACCEPT IT".

No wonder the Famous Hymn calls this sort of GRACE, "AMAZING"!

GRACE FOR TODAY:

Salvation cannot be earned. It is a "Freely Given Gift", unearned and unmerited.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Let us seek Peace and not Confusion . . .

God is not the Author of Confusion,

but of Peace, as in all Churches of the Saints

1 Corinthians 14:33

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Hatred and Bitterness

can never cure the

disease of Fear; only

Love can do that.

Love is Patient, Love is Kind . . .

Love does not delight in evil but

Rejoices with the Truth. It always Protects,

always Trusts, always Hopes, always Perseveres.

1 Corinthians 13:4, 6 ~ 7 NIV

~ STRENGTH FOR YOUR DAY ~

* WE SHALL PRAISE YOU *

Lord Jesus Christ
You said:
May they all be one, just as, Father,
You are in Me and I am in You,
So that the World may Believe
It was You who sent Me.

Dear Lord, bring together in Love and
Peace all who Believe in You . . .

Amen

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

All shall be Amen and Alleluia.
We shall Rest and we shall See.
We shall Know and we shall Love.
We shall Love and we shall Praise.
Behold our End that is no End . . .

Amen

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Lord, Enlighten us to see the Beam that is in our own eye, and blind us to the mote that is in our Brother's. Blind us to the Offenses of our Beloved, Cleanse them from our Memories, take them out of our Mouths for ever . . .

Amen

~ ANGEL WINGS ~

ANGELS GUARD US, Guide us, Watch over us, and Bring us*Comfort, Courage, and Hope*. They are God's Messengers, reaching out to us to Remind us of his Love and Concern for Us.

Throughout recorded history, Angels appear again and again in the crucial moments of people's lives. In the Bible, an Angel spoke to Mary. Other Angels sang at the *Birth of Jesus, God's Son*. Another Angel warned Joseph to flee with his family into Egypt for safety. And Angels stood watch over the empty *Easter Tomb*.

In our Lives, Angels are as close as others' outstretched hands. They Reach for us with hands of Support, Patting our Shoulders in Encouragement, Tending us in illness and darkest Despair, and holding our hands when we are Afraid.

We recognize God's Message to us through his Ministering Angels. We are not alone! God Cares. He always has and always will. Perhaps that's why Angels Fascinate us and why we watch Angel Movies and Television Shows, Read Angel Books, Wear Angel Jewelry, and Collect Angel Figurines. My Collection of Sacred Angel Figurines ~ have become my Extended Family. As I look at all their faces, I feel a Great Sense of Calm. I have named some of my Sacred Angels, however, I have collected them since 1999. The best name for all of them would be My Blessed Family . . . Love, Faith and Hope! They represent Blessings, Calm, Company, Strength and Power. ( I could continue on . . . and on . . . :-) I am so . . . Blessed!

Most of us hear Stories from Friends and Family ~ amazing Tales of Angels Intervening to Protect or Guide. With every Angel Story, we feel Anew the Awe and Wonder of their Presence, the Sense of Security that they're close by and watching over us, and above all else, the Promise that God Cares Enough to Send Them.

We Decorate Christmas Trees with Angels, listen eagerly to Angel Stories, and hold in the *Secret Places of our Hearts and Expectation that Angels Hover Nearby*. At any Moment, they might Appear as a Loved One, a Stranger, or Another of God's Creatures, when we need them most. And when they do, they Touch us, and we are Forever Changed, for *They Have Become a Real Presence in our Lives*.

Experience the Joy and Security of knowing that these Angelic Messengers are Part of our Lives, share the *Comfort and Hope*, Faith and Blessings they Bring, and Draw Strength and Peace knowing Angels come to us because *God Loves Us*. *God has a Constant
Protective Presence*. You may hear Angel Wings ~ Beating Gently Upon Your *HEART*!

~ PRAYERS FOR A WOMAN'S SOUL ~

~ PRAYER IS THE SOUL'S SINCERE DESIRE ~

Prayer is the soul's sincere desire,

unuttered or expressed,

the motion of a hidden fire

that trembles in the breast.

Prayer is the burden of a sigh,

the falling of a tear,

the upward glancing of an eye,

when none but God is near.

Prayer is the simplest form of speech

that infant lips can try;

Prayer the sublimest strains that reach

the Majesty on high . . .

Prayer is the contrite sinners' voice,

returning from their way,

while Angels in their songs Rejoice

and cry, "Behold, they Pray!"

Prayer is the Christians' vital breath,

the Christians' native air;

their watchword at the gates of death;

they enter Heaven with Prayer.

O thou, by whom we come to God,

the Life, the Truth, the Way:

the Path of Prayer thyself hast trod;

Lord, teach us how to Pray!

<><><><><><><><><>><><><><><><><><><><>

Anyone can Love the Lovely, Anyone can Forgive

the Forgivable. But Christians are Unique.

We are called to

Love the unlovely, to

Forgive the Unforgivable. Jesus'

followers have done so for centuries.

Few acts have a greater impact on those who

mistreat us an abuse us than our telling

them we Forgive them, and we are

asking God to Forgive them too.

Keep fervent in your

Love for one another, because Love

covers a Multitude of Sins.

~ SEEKING GOD'S LOVE ~

Worship God in Adoring Embrace, Celebrate in Trembling Awe . . .

None of the good Promises the LORD had made to the House of Israel failed. Everything was Fulfilled . . .

DEEP ROOTS

They are strong, like a tree planted by a River.

The tree produces fruit in season, and its leaves

don't die. Everything they do will Succeed.

PSALM 1:3 NCV

Looking for Peace in the Psalms is not a random choice on your part. There's a reason you've come here. Perhaps you're seeking understanding in a difficult situation. Or maybe you don't know where else to turn. Either way, you're looking in the right place ~ the only place Peace can be found: in God. You'll always find God in his Word.

Like River Waters nourishing a tree's Roots, when you drink in God's Word, it goes deep into your Heart and makes you Strong. God's Nurturing Truth gives you the Courage and Wisdom for whatever you're Facing.

So Seek Him ~ allow his Word to take Root deep in your Heart. You'll be sure to find the Peace you're looking for.

God, I know that I haven't come here by chance.

Thank You that the Psalms will Strengthen my Heart

and Nourish my Soul.

Delight in doing everything the LORD wants;

Day and Night . . . think about his Law.

~ AMEN ~

Lord Jesus, encourage my children

to be Devoted to Prayer,

being Watchful for your Answers

and Thankful for Your Blessings.
