Higher Ground
Let not your heart be troubled:
ye believe in God, believe also in me.
In my Father's house are many mansions:
if it were not so, I would of told you.
I go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you,
I will come again, and receive you unto myself;
that where I am, there ye may be also.
John 14:1-3
Ask, and it shall be given you;
seek, and ye shall find;
knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
For every one that asketh receiveth;
and he that seeketh findeth;
and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Matthew 7:7,8
Ask, and it shall be given you;
seek, and ye shall find;
knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
For every one that asketh receiveth;
and he that seeketh findeth;
and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Matthew 7:7,8
Footprints In The Sand
One night a man had a dream.
He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the LORD.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene he noticed two sets of FOOTPRINTS
in the sand;
one belonging to him, and the other to the LORD.
When the last scene of his life flashed by,
he looked back at the FOOTPRINTS in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of life,
there was only one set of FOOTPRINTS.
He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest
and saddest times in his life.
This really bothered the man and he questioned the
LORD about it.
" LORD, You said that once I decided to follow YOU,
YOU would walk me all the way.
But, I have noticed that during the most troublesome times
in my life, there is only one set of FOOTPRINTS.
I don't understand why when I needed YOU most,
YOU would leave me."
The LORD replied, " My precious, precious child,
I love you, and I would NEVER leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of FOOTPRINTS,
IT WAS THEN THAT I CARRIED YOU."
Victorious Christian Living
Galatians 5:22,23
LOVE is a force essential to life.
Surely a portion was given to mothers.
Divine compassionate love flows from God,
Teaching us genuine concern for others.
JOY is wonderful, heavenly happiness.
It's not ever found by self-serving.
Let your sorrow be turned to joy,
And help those thought to be undeserving.
PEACE is tranquillity and harmony,
Knowing God is always near.
He will never leave or forsake us
Or let us be shackled by fear.
LONGSUFFERING is the trait of our Lord;
Not willing that any should perish;
Wanting all to come to repentance.
This is a promise we all cherish.
GENTLENESS is supreme kindness in action.
It can never be bought or sold,
Although it is a gem of great value.
Practice gentleness to have and to hold.
GOODNESS is God's benevolent virtue;
He's eager to share it with you,
Through the power of the Holy Spirit,
Unkind hearts can be made new.
FAITH is unfaltering trust in God,
So vital to one's Christian role.
It's impossible to please him without it.
A living faith will make us whole.
MEEKNESS is humbleness and submission to God;
Not promoting self-exaltation on every side,
Nor inclined to resentment and anger,
Seek Christ's meekness and there abide.
TEMPERANCE is moderation in actions and speech
In everything exercising self control,
Self restraint in what we eat or drink,
For heaven is our final goal.

LOVE
Love is a friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is a loyalty through good and bad. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses.
Love is content with the present, it hopes for the future and it doesn't brood over the past. It's the day-in and day-out chronicles of irritations, problems, compromises, small disappointments, big victories and working toward common goals.
If you have love in your life, it can make up for a great many things you lack. If you don't have it, no matter what else there is, it's not enough.
Ten Commandments of Human Relations
1. Speak to people. There is nothing as nice as a cheerful word of greeting.
2. Smile at people. It takes 72 muscles to frown and only 14 to smile.
3. Call people by name. The sweetest music to anyone's ears is the sound of his/her name.
4. be friendly and helpful. If you want friends, be a friend.
5. Be cordial. Speak and act as if everything you do is a genuine pleasure.
6. Be genuinely interested in people.
7. Be generous with praise. Be cautious with criticism.
8. Be considerate of the feelings of others. It will be appreciated.
9. Be thoughtful of the opinions of others.
10. Be alert to give service. What counts most in life is what we can do for others.
Gift of God's Love
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
How can we understand God? How are we to know our Father? We are to call Him by the endearing name of Father. And how are we to know Him and the power of His love? It is through diligent search of the Scriptures. We cannot appreciate God unless we take into our souls the great plan of redemption. We want to know all about these grand problems of the soul, of the redemption of the fallen race. It is a wonderful thing that after man had violated the law of God and separated himself from God, was divorced, as it were, from God that after all this there was a plan made whereby man should not perish, but that he should have everlasting life...When our minds are constantly dwelling upon the matchless love of God to the fallen race, we begin to know God to become acquainted with Him...
Right here on this little atom of a world were enacted the grandest scenes that were ever known to humanity. All the universe of heaven was looking on with intense interest. Why? The great battle was to be fought between the power of darkness and the Prince of light. Satan's work was to magnify his power constantly....He was all the time placing god in a false light. he was presenting Him as a God of injustice, and not a God of mercy. He was constantly stirring up their minds so that they would have an incorrect view of God.
How was God to be rightly represented to the world? How was it to be known that He was a God of love, full of mercy, kindness, and pity? How was the world to know the character of God....
We want to keep this perfect pattern before us. God was so good as to send a representation of Himself in His Son Jesus Christ, and we want to get the mind and heart to unfold and reach upward....Let yours be the prayer, Reveal Thyself to me, that in Thy matchless grace I may lay hold on the golden link, Christ, which has been let down from heaven to earth, that I may grasp it and be drawn upward.
The Difference...
I got up early one morning.
and rushed right into the day;
I had so much to accomplish
that I didn't have time to pray.
problems just tumbled about me,
and heavier came each task.
"Why doesn't God help me?" I wondered.
He answered, "You didn't ask."
I wanted to see joy and beauty,
but the day toiled on, gray and bleak;
I wondered why God didn't show me.
He said, "But you didn't seek."
I tried to come into God's presence;
I used all my keys at the lock.
God gently and lovingly chided,
"My child, you didn't knock."
I woke up early this morning,
and paused before entering the day;
I had so much to accomplish
that I had to take time to pray.
