Live as free men, but do not use your freedom >as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God. >--1 Peter 2:15-16 >New International Version > >THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE... >What does the world most need to hear from me today? A life tuned to >the melody of grace that I claim I believe. Doing good, being like >Christ, is Peter's answer to opposition, cynicism, and even >persecution. We are free in Jesus, but being free means that we >don't have to pretentiously prove we are free. Instead, we can live >for him who died to conquer death. He renounced absolute heavenly >freedom so we could find it. We are free to serve others, and most >of all to serve God. > >MY PRAYER... >Holy Father, my Great Emancipator, you have freed me from sin, law, >and death at the cost of your precious Son. I open my heart to you >today to say I love you and want to thank you. Please accept the >actions of my life, the words of my mouth, the thoughts of my mind, >and the emotions of my heart today as my offering of thanks. Through >Jesus my Sacrifice and your holy Son I pray. Amen. > >----------- > >Heartlight Daily devotional and prayer are written by Phil Ware of >HEARTLIGHT Magazine, on the web at: ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/ldwhwfh_ltodkg.html>http://www.heartlight.org >----------- >The NIV Daily Verse is provided by ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/alkjkol_ltodkg.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)
