And be thankful. >--Colossians 3:15 >New International Version > >THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE... >Peace - that illusive state of grace that incorporates all of life's >well-being. Because of Jesus, we have true shalom - wellness in >body, soul, and spirit. His relationships with others, his victory >over sin, death and the grave insures that we can have peace, too! >So as we receive the Spirit of Christ into our hearts, we can live >with our brothers and sisters, no matter how flawed, in a state of >peace. Besides, as Paul changes metaphors on us, we are the Body of >Christ and of course a body does not want to be at war with itself. >So live in peace with others, and do so with thanksgiving. > >MY PRAYER... >Blessed Father of all believers, please give me a heart to love your >people. I know as the character of Jesus permeates my life, I will >appreciate the preciousness of each of your children more and will >come to see those difficult family members as the grit out of which >you will fashion my pearl. I pray you give me grace till my heart >matches my commitment to love all of your children. 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/idkbtgf_arvlye.html>http://www.heartlight.org >----------- >The NIV Daily Verse is provided by ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/pzqipnp_arvlye.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)
