Then he is >going to come back for us. But just a few verses later, Jesus adds >this promise. He's telling us that until we can come be with him at >his place, he will come live with us here in our hearts. It all >hinges on one thing, our willingness to obey him. Not a bad deal, is >it. So let's not let obedience be a forgotten word in our lifestyle! > >MY PRAYER... >Holy God, I know Jesus came to earth and obeyed your will. Give me >discernment that my obedience will not simply be the obedience of >your words, but will also be the obedience of your will. I long to >honor you because you have done so much to save me. Thank you. >Through Jesus I pray. Amen. > >----------- > >Heartlight Daily devotional and prayer are written by Phil Ware of >HEARTLIGHT Magazine, on the web at: ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/coaougl_dazqhy.html>http://www.heartlight.org >----------- >The NIV Daily Verse is provided by ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/vzfzgft_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> The LORD your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing. ~ Zephaniah 3:17 (NKJV)
