But I confess, there are little things (and maybe some >big things), that I keep from ever placing on that altar. Things I >don't want to give up. To the best of my ability, I pledge today to >live for you in a way that leaves nothing outside your Lordship and >control. I offer you me -- all that I have and am -- to be yours >today. Through Jesus. Amen. > >----------- > >Heartlight Daily devotional and prayer are written by Phil Ware of >HEARTLIGHT Magazine, on the web at: ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/ldhgofk_onvpax.html>http://www.heartlight.org >----------- >The NIV Daily Verse is provided by ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/nnpbrop_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> 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)
