We cannot reclaim it or undo it. >We cannot rest on the things it has brought us. If tomorrow dawns, >it will be another day, a new opportunity, and the time to show our >faith in Jesus as Lord. Let's journey forward, knowing that God >already inhabits the future and promises to provide us refreshment. > >MY PRAYER... >Lord of all eternity, please help me to learn from my mistakes but >not dwell on them. Please help me not rest on my accomplishments in >this past year, but use them to further your work in me and through >me. Please help me not quarrel with those who injured me yesterday, >or last month. Instead, O Father, lead me in your paths and help me >see your mighty works this next year. In Jesus name and by his power >I ask it. Amen. > >----------- > >Heartlight Daily devotional and prayer are written by Phil Ware of >HEARTLIGHT Magazine, on the web at: ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/yfzwqvv_qioela.html>http://www.heartlight.org > >----------- >The NIV Daily Verse is provided by ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/dlyqhgl_qioela.html>http://www.zondervan.com > ><http://crosswalkmail.com/Forward.do?a=main&m=qoozpl&r=qioela> >If you enjoyed this newsletter, forward it on to a friend. > > ~~~~ 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)
