Beseeching God.. How important is it in your life?

This is an important part of our spiritual walk so I hope and pray that we all give it some careful consideration.



I have been reading in my Bible in devotion time and considering the word BESEECH .. and it has made me consider just how fervently (beseech) I (WE) seek God's help in areas? Especially when it comes to a lost soul. When is the last time we were so burdened about a loved one or someone we know of that is lost that it brought us to tears in prayer and we BEGGED God to move in their lives?



On this same note .. how saddened are we when we have to go to God and yet ask AGAIN for forgiveness ... or when was the last time we just praised him with joyful tears???
Oh ladies do you remember the day you were Saved? Do you consider the Hell you and I both deserve?

Do you have moments where you don't know what more you can do to show your husband you love him??

Men are very literal creatures.. They usually believe what they see!

You've Got Mail!

How does your "letter" read? II Cor. 3:2 You’ve Got Mail!!
I love getting letters by mail, don’t you? I always make a cup of Tea before I sit and read a letter. Some of our sweetest memories we have as a family are of my husband and sons racing to see who got the mail in first.
As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country. Proverbs 25:25
God’s Word tell us that we are letters…and others are reading it.
Inasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the Epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. 2 Corinthians 3:3
What is an Epistle? Biblical speaking, it is a letter to a church or churches, and contain…. Instruction, blessing, warning, admonition and exhortation.
As a Christian, you are a living epistle of Christ.
If a ‘A picture is worth a thousand words,’ How much more true is it that how we live before others has a lot to say about what kind of people we truly are. As epistles or letters of Christ, our goal should be to live in such a way that we would bring glory to God.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matthew 5:16
Everyday, you are writing a letter to others by the way you act, think, talk, walk, etc…known and read of all men. 2 Corinthians 3:2.
How does your letter read? Does your letter bring joy and comfort to others? Does it bring Glory to God?

Do you have charicter?

Lets speak about CHARACTER.

If you lie today.. simply because it is Aprils Fools what does that tell people about your integrity?

At least to me it ranks right up there with lying to your children at Christmas, Easter and tooth fairy time.. It says to me that your knowledge of what is true doesn't always mean you will do what is right.

As someone who is trying to grow good Character in a world that has frankly dismissed character as a needless frippery.. I want you to think about it.. Don't your kids see that, doesn't your co-workers notice.. Do you really think that people don't care that from time to time your word means NOTHING?!

So go ahead, April Fools, Christmas, and ANY OTHER TIME.. Be a lier.. You will see that Integrity isn't something you can turn on and off like a light switch and have it mean anything at all!

Silence- Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversation. Quoting Benjamin Franklin

Do you realize all the things that would go UNSAID.. if no one ever said anything but that which was BENEFICIAL TO OTHERS??


Oh man..




So the question is ... 

Those things which you want to say..

Should you say them?

Or is it foolish to speak them??

Temperance- Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation.~ Quotation from Benjamin Franklin

~Temperance~

To me that means essentially the same thing as 

Balance!

 

Living moderately..

Which if you think about it is just common sense!

Then again.. 

Common sense isn't common anymore.. so :)

In honor of New Years Eve.. I will give this hint!

What shall be your legacy??

Once there was a man who inherited a good name and much money. He did not participate in the life of his community; he dedicated his life to riotous living. He went through the money, spent it on pleasure, and died leaving his money to another. However, a small portion of his money was left to a publisher with instructions to the publisher to prepare an issue his biography.

When the book was finished it was beautiful and costly. The binding was elaborate. There was a title page and picture of the deceased. Then on page one was recorded the day of his birth. On the last page of the book was recorded the date of his death. The rest of the book was simply expensive blank paper. The biographer was saying that this man was born and died and in between did nothing for others. How sad! It is sadder, however, to realize how few parents instill in the minds of their children the importance of choosing a profession that will benefit society
