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/gepsdls_dazqhy.html>http://www.heartlight.org >----------- >The NIV Daily Verse is provided by ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/gepsdld_dazqhy.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>
