WHO IS YOUR HERO OR ROLE MODEL?

JESUS is, of course, our Primary Hero and Role Model. Secondary ones might include a Biblical Character, Historical Figure, Family Member, or even a Literary Character. Who has been a Beacon of Light, a Ray of Hope, or an Inspiration to you?

Who invested him or herself in your Life? Who has filled a Critical Role for You? We all need someone we can look up to and learn from. Give this some thought Today, because such people will nudge you toward God's Best For Your Life.

WHO'S YOUR INSPIRATION?

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

Take a moment to think about one of your Heroes or Role Models. Is it a Parent, Sibling, Grandparent, Mentor, Teacher, Pastor, Missionary, Benefactor, Counselor, Coach, or Doctor? Have you ever cut out a Newspaper Article on a Local Hero you admire? Have you learned a Great Deal by studying the Life of the Apostle Peter, Eleanor Roosevelt, General Patton, or Don Quixote?

Or, have you learned about Courage from a terminally ill Friend? We must Embrace Life's Lessons through Pain to find Real Peace, Freedom, and Truth.

*I have learned that we Make our Plans, but that GOD Directs our Steps. I also know that his way and timing are Perfect, and that he wastes Nothing. I have Encountered Truth ~ JESUS CHRIST. That Relationship has Challenged me, Changed me, and continues to bring me New Life as I Surrender Daily to Him.*

**Real Heroes and Role Models are ordinary People, who have developed Character that has taught them to Obey Christ. Their choice to follow GOD'S Principles and Listen to his Spirit is Life ~ Giving to those they are sent to Serve.**
Daniel was a Hero
Daniel faced lions rather than bowing to a King whom others adored as a GOD.
Read Daniel 6:1-28. Do you tend to hang around People who are this Bold and Daring for the LORD? What might such Role Models inspire you to do?
SCRIPTURE TO PONDER
Therefore, since we have a Great High Priest who has gone
through the Heavens, JESUS the Son of GOD, let us hold firmly
to the Faith we Profess. (Hebrews 4:14)

~ 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.
