Just for today

... smile at a stranger
...listen to someone's heart
... drop a coin where a child can find it
... learn something new, then teach it to someone
... tell someone you're thinking of them
... hug a loved one
... don't hold a grudge
... don't be afraid to say "I'm sorry"
... look a child in the eye and tell them how great they are
... look beyond the face of a person into their heart
... make a promise, and keep it
... call someone, for no other reason than to just say "hi"
... show kindness to an animal ... stand up for what you believe in
... smell the rain, feel the breeze, listen to the wind
... use all your senses to their fullest
... cherish all of your TODAYS

Myheart Prints: Struggles





Its a wonderful day, and just a perfect day to clean some old junk from my room. I cam across this cute pooh bear yellow spring notebook. My Purpose driven Life notebook, exactly 4 years ago, I had a commitment signed with Erna, Gary and Joey. We promised to finish the forty day journey but unfortunately when I checked I was only until the 37th day. I failed to finish the book and I intend to finish it this time.And four years ago I was writing about my struggles in life, my spiritual life, my daily struugles with work and life, my bad habits and so many other things. Specically, I wanted to end my not so nice way of handling my subscribers, I was so desperate to end it four years, but I'm still entangled with the webs of the lack patience to overcome it, and the lack of humility and the heart to do it. I dont know if my temper has something to do with being born on the month of February or maybe its just a matter of having this kind of attitude.......Hmmmm, how I wish I could somehow change. Lord, please remind me every that its not about me. I know the road is never easy but I put the trust in You.............

White Coasters

Heart Print: Your Word








I gave it all to You,
though it was painful,
I know You'd always be there by my side,
Its different now, I didnt listened before,
and now Your word is so strong,
I cant help but obey.

Maybe this is the ONE TRUE LOVE,
YOU are my true love,
You knocked in my heart many times,
I didnt heard YOU,
I was busy with my found earthy love,
thought it made me complete,
but never knew all along,
that it was YOU,
it was YOU all along.

Eight years,
I never thought I could make it through,
with out the love the I have found,
But, it was YOUR WORD that was worth it all,
You gave it to me during the commitment conference,
and You made it all easy for me,
though there were tears,
but YOU wiped it all for me,
YOUR WORD comforting me,
YOUR WORD healing me,
YOUR WORD revealing to me,
and YOUR WORD showing me
the love beyond compare.

THank you dear Lord,
thank you for being so patient with me,
I am going to wait on YOU,
and YOUR will for my life.

I Want to love YOU more.....

Assurance of Forgiveness

Forgiveness means that we are not going to allow the experiences of the past to dominate our future and to prevent us from becoming all that God has planned we should become. There may well be memories we are unable to put out of mind, but we choose not to allow them to control our attitudes and behaviour in the future, even toward those who may be responsible for those memories. Two New Testament words we translate "to forgive" mean literally "to let go" and "to cancel a debt". I found that at times the phrase "I forgive you" seemed empty, so I said, "I release you. I let you go. I let go of this offence. I cancel your debt. You owe me nothing now. I renounce my desire to get even with you." That way, the imagery of this biblical language filled the word "forgiveness" with a more specific and concrete meaning.

The basis upon which all sin is forgiven is found in Matthew 26:28: " This is my blood of the covenant which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins."

What must we do in order to have our sins forgiven? Answer: 1 John 1:9 " If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."

The consequences of unconfessed sin:

Proverbs 28:13 He who conceals his sins does not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces then finds mercy.

Psalms 66:18 If I cherished sin in my heart the Lord would have not listened.

What attitude of heart characterizes confession?
Psalm 38:18 I confess my iniquity, i am troubled by my sin. Confession as described by David Psalm 32:5 Then I acknowledged my sin to you and you did not cover up my iniquity. I said " I confess my transgressions to the Lord" and you forgave the guilt of my sin. David's prayer expectation after confessiong his sin.

Psalm 52:12 Restore to the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit to sustain.

Our attitude towards others:
Ephesians 4:32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgive each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

Why forgiveness matters?
1. Unforgiveness will hurt no one more than myself
2. Unforgiveness will often hurt others
3. Unforgiveness may deny healing to another
4. Unforgiveness affects my relationship with God
5. Unforgiveness is readily exploited by the Evil One
6. Forgiveness demonstrates Christ's presence
7. It shows our own experience of God's forgiveness

We never touch the ocean of God's love so much as when we love our enemies.
It is a joy to accept forgiveness, but it is almost a greater joy to give forgiveness.
