Heartlight Daily Devotional Tuesday, May 23, 2006 Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. --Romans 15:2 New International Version THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE... Being depressed and dissatisfied with life can be caused by a myriad of things. But for many of us, these are symptoms that we have focused too much on ourselves and are angry with life. We have forgotten to count our blessings, thank and praise God, and help those around us. This verse addresses the last in this list: thinking of others is just what Christ did. It makes a difference in the life we bless and we also find ourselves immensely blessed. MY PRAYER... Holy and Matchless God, help me to see the brokenness, hurt, and difficulties in the lives around me, not so I can gloat or feel better about myself, but so that I might bless another with your love and grace. 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/erathnba_xebrzi.html>http://www.heartlight.org ----------- The NIV Daily Verse is provided by <http://www.crosswalkmail.com/jawscvjd_xebrzi.html>http://www.zondervan.com If you enjoyed this newsletter, forward it on to a friend. * Copyright 2006 Salem Web Network and its Content Providers.
