Christian Poem - An Inspiring Alphabet

I would like to share this wonderful poem by an Unknown Author with all.........

An Inspiring Alphabet

Although things are not perfect
Because of trial or pain
Continue in happy giving
Do not begin to blame
Even when the times are hard
Fierce winds are bound to blow
Good is forever able
Hold on to what you know
Imagine life without God's love
Joy would cease to be
Keep thanking God for all the things
Love imparts to thee
More out of "Self Complaining"
No weapon that is known
On earth can yield the power
Prayer can do alone
Quit looking at the future
Redeem the time at hand
Start every day with worship
To "thank" is a command
Until we get blessings
Victorious in the sky
We'll run the race with gratitude
X pect from God most high
Yes, there will be some bad times and there will be some good, but.......
Zzzz peacefully at night ....... you're in the care of God!

When God puts you on hold - Don't hang up!

Be Joyful - In Hope

Be Patient - In affliction

Be Faithful - In Prayer

Fix your eyes on that which is unseen -
because THAT WHICH IS UNSEEN IS ETERNAL

- your thoughts determine your action,
- your actions determine your habit,
- your habits determine your character,
- your character determines your destiny.

A Sharing of an article on LOVE.....

Friends.... I believe that this article is useful for people of Christian faith. It is important for each and everyone of us and our lives..... so, do read on.......

LOVE
According to psycologists, the most basic human need is to love and be loved. There is no power greater than love. It can motivate people to do things for others they wouldn't normally do. Some even give up everything for the sake of the one they love.

But if love is such a beautiful thing so essential to life, why is there so little of it in the world? Why is there so much hate? The answer is simple. True love is more than a sentimental, gushy feeling. Love is a decision, a choice we each must make. The greatest demonstration of love is to give our life for the person we love. God did that. Even before we were born, he demonstrated his great love for us when he gave his only son Jesus to die on the cross for our sins so we could have forgiveness and eternal life in him. That is what love is. It gives selflessly, even sacrificially. It unconditionally provides for the one that is loved.

This kind of love comes only from God, for God very being is love. So when men and women rebel againt God by setting up their own value system, rejecting the authority of God, they lose the very source of true love, that is God.

Away from the source, love becomes temporary rather than lasting. It becomes selfish and demanding. It seeks what it wants rather than the good of the one that is loved. It takes rather than gives.

But when we connect with God, his love enables us to love others as he loves, even our enemies. We can love others without expecting or demanding anything in return. God's love gives and forgives. It is constant, dependable, and lasting. It fulfills and it satisfies the deepest need.

This kind of love is free and available. We only need to come and connect with God throuh his Son Jesus Christ, and that love will flow freely in and through our hearts to others.
