God has made a covenant of love and grace with us. The >Almighty has then turned around and made us worthy and competent to >share that covenant with others.

Thank >you for sending the gift of your Son and the gift of your Spirit so >that I can live with you in a covenant of life, grace, and love. >While I confess my weaknesses, I also promise you that I will live >to honor your sacrifice, love and covenant, trusting that you will >ultimately empower me to be what you are calling me to be. 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/msfknkf_bgciev.html>http://www.heartlight.org >----------- >The NIV Daily Verse is provided by ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/tzvjcjh_bgciev.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)
