Good Words for Today

No life is wasted that is spent in the service of our Lord who promised to reward even a cup of cold water given in his name.

God always speaks loud enough for a willing ear to hear.

You're not in charge of how people respond. Do the right thing anyway. Be kind anyway. Forgive them anyway. Share Christ anyway. Let God deal with their response.

It's Saturday, and Jesus is in the tomb. Don't despair. God isn't finished yet.

"Down at the cross where my Savior died, Down where for cleansing from sin I cried, There to my heart was the blood applied; Glory to his name!"

When you are discouraged, Jesus is praying for you. When you feel like giving up, Jesus is praying for you. When you want to get even, Jesus is praying for you. The Lord of the universe is praying for you right now. Let that thought give strength to your heart today.

"Where there is hatred, let me sow love." We're all going to sow something today. We've got plenty of hatred--more than enough. Why not sow love?

O Lord, you have numbered all my days and written them in your book. Help me to enjoy this day as a gift from you and use it to serve others in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Lord Jesus, you showed us how to stay clean in a dirty world. May your life be my example and your Word my guide. Amen.

If we do not move toward Jesus, we must inevitably move away from him. No one can stay neutral forever.

God often gives us more than we can bear, but he never gives us more than he can bear.

"You will not get to steal quietly into heaven, into Christ's presence, without a conflict and a cross." Samuel Rutherford

Jesus didn’t come to make us nicer people. He came to make us new people.

When our sin seems small, our love for Christ cannot be very great.
