Is he someone looking for a way to condemn you? Is he >an out-of-touch old man who doesn't really know what it's like in our >modern world? Is he too holy to soil himself with the concerns of mere >mortals and has left it up to us to work everything out for ourselves? No. >NO. NO! God chose to enter our world and experience it from the side of >mortality. God chose to enter our world, not to condemn us, or it, but to >redeem it. Jesus is the great reminder that God longs to save us, not >judge us. Thank God for God! Thank God for Jesus who was God with us. > >MY PRAYER... >Holy and Heavenly God, thank you that you live with those who are contrite >and repentant and who long for your presence. You know we are only mortal, >but you love us. You know that we are flawed, but you redeemed us. You >know that we are not perfect, but you sent Jesus as the perfect sacrifice >to save us. Thank you. Through my Savior I offer my sincerest gratitude >and praise. Amen. > >----------- > >Heartlight Daily devotional and prayer are written by Phil Ware of >HEARTLIGHT Magazine, on the web at: ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/fgvxfmv_onvpax.html>http://www.heartlight.org >----------- >The NIV Daily Verse is provided by ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/arvuytr_onvpax.html>http://www.zondervan.com > >If you enjoyed this newsletter, forward it on to a friend. > >* Copyright 2005 Salem Web Network and its Content Providers. >All rights reserved. > ~~~~ Alan & Ruth Anne Wheeler <da2ofus@...> Proud owners of the following lists: Ladies Fellowship, LF Newsletter, Bread of Life, Christian Drummer and swgCares at: <www.associate.com>
