He will come in and go out >and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and >destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it in full." >--John 10:7 and 9-10 >New International Version > >THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE... >Jesus came to the world to give us life. He didn't come to bring us >rules, or judgment, or fear, or work.Jesus came to give us life in >its fullest form. While we know that this is promised to us when we >go to be with him for all eternity, John wants us to clearly hear >that Jesus' promise to give us life begins right now! Not JUST life >later, but also life NOW! > >MY PRAYER... >Almighty God, I confess that sometimes I play life too carefully, >not risking failure and loss and not reaching for your opportunities >and your concerns. Give me a heart that yearns to live life in all >its fullness by seeking after your will, Jesus' example, and the >Holy Spirit's leading in my decisions today and always. Through >Jesus I ask this to your glory. Amen. > >----------- > >Heartlight Daily devotional and prayer are written by Phil Ware of >HEARTLIGHT Magazine, on the web at: ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/lwtddog_onvpax.html>http://www.heartlight.org >----------- >The NIV Daily Verse is provided by ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/vgvjjbt_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)
