While Praying One Day A Woman Asked, Who Are You, Lord?”
He Answered, “I Am” “But Who Is I Am?” She Said.
And He Replied…
"I Am Love, I Am Peace, I Am Grace, I Am Joy,
I Am The Way, Truth And The Light… I Am The Comforter,
I Am Strength, I Am Safety, I Am Shelter, I Am Power,
I Am The Creator, I Am The Beginning And The End,
I Am The Most High.”
The Girl With Tears In Her Eyes Looked Toward Heaven And Said,
"Now I Understand, But Lord, Who Am I?”
Then God Tenderly Wiped The Tears From Her Eyes
And Whispered, “You Are Mine.”
Isaiah 45:5
I am the Lord, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God…
Isaiah 49:16
See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me.
Have a wonderful week in the Lord!

God's Love

Have a wonderful week in the Lord!
Psalm 136:1 (NIV)
1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good. His love endures forever.
Psalm 145:8,9 & 11 (NRSV)
8The Lord is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
9The Lord is good to all, and his compassion is over all that he has made.

Verbal Poison
I read the following and afterward I couldn't help but think just how relevant it was. Especially in today's world. What are we teaching our children and grandchildren when all we do is complain, grumble and criticize?
Written by Joanie Yoder and taken from The Daily Bread Devotional booklet.
What a frustrating problem pollution is! Everybody suffers with it, yet everybody contributes to it. Pollution takes many forms, but one type is often overlooked. Charles Swindoll calls it “verbal pollution,” passed around by grumblers, complainers, and criticizers. “The poison of pessimism,” Swindoll writes, “creates an atmosphere of wholesale negativism where nothing but the bad side of everything is emphasized.” A group of Christian friends became concerned about this form of pollution and their personal part in it. So they made a pact to avoid critical words for a whole week. They were surprised to find how little they spoke! As they continued the experiment, they actually had to relearn conversation skills.
In Ephesians 4, Paul called believers to that sort of decisive action. He said we are to “put off” the old self and its conduct that grieves the Holy Spirit (vv.22,30) and “put on” the new self that builds up others (v.24). As we rely on the help of the Spirit (Gal. 5:16), we can make those changes in our conduct, our thinking, and our speaking.
If we want to be rid of verbal pollution, we must choose to change and ask for God’s help. It’s a great way to start cleaning up our spiritual environment. —
Help stamp out pollution—clean up your speech!
29Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. Eph. 4:29 (NIV)

Easter and U
It's Easter and I can't believe it's been so long since I last posted. The following was sent as an email to me and I have no idea where it came from. I hope you enjoy it.
THE U IN JESUS
Before U were thought of or time had begun,
God stuck U in the name of His Son.
And each time U pray, you'll see it's true,
You can't spell out JesUs and not include U.
You're a pretty big part of His wonderful name,
For U, He was born; that's why He came.
And His great love for U is the reason He died.
It even takes U to spell crUcified.
Isn't it thrilling and splendidly grand
He rose from the dead, with U in His plan?
The stones split away, the gold trUmpet blew,
and this word resUrrection is spelled with a U.
When JesUs left earth at His Upward ascension,
He felt there was one thing He just had to mention.
"Go into the world and tell them it's true
That I love them all - Just like I love U."
So many great people are spelled with a U,
Don't they have a right to know JesUs too?
It all depends now on what U will do,
He'd like them to know, But it all starts with U.
Happy Easter and have a wonderful week in the Lord!
