Good Words for Today

Lord Jesus, teach me to trust you when I am tempted to lash out. Where there is hatred, let me sow love. Amen.

My Lord, deliver me from even the tiniest bit of religious pretense. May my life bring forth fruit that is pleasing in your eyes. Amen.

The God we serve has a heart as big as the entire world. He’s not a Jewish God or an American God. He’s a God for the whole human race. It doesn’t matter what language you speak, or what country you come from, or how you dress or wear your hair. If you know Jesus Christ, you can look up to the heavens and say, “You, O Lord, are my God, too.”

All too often we conclude that something can’t be done so we don’t bother trying to do it. If Moses had taken that attitude, the Jews would still be in Egypt. If Joshua had felt that way, the walls of Jericho would still be standing. If David had adopted that opinion, Goliath would still be terrorizing the Israelites. You never know in advance what God may do so don’t rule out the possibility of a miracle coming your way.

God freely forgave us while we were his enemies. Can we not do for others what he has done for us?

"Heart of my own heart, whatever befall, Still be my vision, O Ruler of all."

If we are going to follow Jesus, we must forgive. We have no other choice. We must forgive as God has forgiven us—freely, completely, graciously, totally. This is the true Golden Rule: Do for others as God has done to you.

If knew myself better, I would be more amazed that Jesus saved me. It's all grace all the time. Smile and be glad that God included you.

Hell will be filled with people who are quite surprised to be there.

If knew myself better, I would be more amazed that Jesus saved me. It's all grace all the time.

Jesus will give you everything you need to do everything he calls you to do.

God helps those who can’t help themselves and aren’t ashamed to admit it.

Death cannot cancel the promises of God.
