Spiritual Thoughts

  F orgivness is the well from which we draw the water to wash others' feet. ~ D. Siler   Blessed are those servants whom the master finds awake when he comes. Truly, I say to you, he will dress himself for service and have them recline at table, and he will come and serve them.   ~ Luke 12:37

  Friday Tale ~ Who Moved? I was once told a story about a newlywed couple.    When they rode together in the car, the wife would sit so close to her husband that it looked like there was a two-headed driver in the seat.    Now, twenty-five years later, when they go out in the car, the wife sits way over on the other side.    One day she looked over longingly at her husband and said with a sigh, "Remember the days when we used to sit so close to each other we looked like a two-headed driver?"    The husband looked over at her and quietly said,           "Well, Honey, I wasn't the one who moved." ~ Unknown  C hrist has now reconciled you in his body through death, in order to present you before God holy and blameless and beyond reproach - IF indeed you continue in the firmly established and steadfast faith, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel that you have heard. ~ Colossians 1:22...

  T o me, faith is not just a noun but also a verb. ~ Jimmy Carter  W hat use is it if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and be filled," and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that?   Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself. ~ James 2:14-17

  H ardening of the attitudes is the most deadly disease on the face of the earth. ~ Zig Ziglar  A scoffer seeks wisdom in vain for his very attitude blinds and deafens him to it, but knowledge is easy to him who understands. ~ Proverbs 14:6 (Amplified)

  V ery few burdens are heavy  if everyone lifts. ~ Sy Wise  B ear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ . ~ Galatians 6:2

 If you do not take a total commitment to whatever you are doing, then you start to bail out the first time the boat starts leaking. It is tough enough getting the boat to share with everybody rowing, let alone when a guy stands up and starts putting his jacket on. Commit your works to the LORD, and your plans will be established, Proverbs 16:3
