But for many of us, these are symptoms that we have focused too >much on ourselves and are angry with life. We have forgotten to count our >blessings, thank and praise God, and help those around us. This verse >addresses the last in this list: thinking of others is just what Christ >did. It makes a difference in the life we bless and we also find ourselves >immensely blessed. > >MY PRAYER... >Holy and Matchless God, help me to see the brokenness, hurt, and >difficulties in the lives around me, not so I can gloat or feel better >about myself, but so that I might bless another with your love and grace. >In Jesus' name I pray. Amen. > >----------- > >Heartlight Daily devotional and prayer are written by Phil Ware of >HEARTLIGHT Magazine, on the web at: ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/shybxlb_jvapds.html>http://www.heartlight.org >----------- >The NIV Daily Verse is provided by ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/mfvukns_jvapds.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>
