"Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ
Jesus:
Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made Himself nothing,
taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself
and became obedient to death - even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name
that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and
every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." (Philippians 2: 6-11)

"The Sunshine Breaks Through" by Dolores Karides
"The day may be dreary and the sky overcast
But I'm not concerned that the climate will last.
For the love
in my heart and the warmth in my soul
Give me comfort and power to banish the cold.
When my faith in the Lord remains
steadfast and true
Then into my life the sunshine shines through.
And the light of the Lord illumines the way
To
change gloom into joy and a bright cheery day."

"We know that Jesus performed many miracles, yet He
said of those who believe in Him: 'Greater than these shall ye do.'
(John 14:12 King James Version)
"I wish I could
explain signs, wonders, and healings, but I can't. All I know is that they did not cease with the ministry of Christ and the
apostles. How can I be sure? At the very least from my own personal experience. I was born with a severe stuttering problem
that completely disappeared the moment I stood up to preach my first sermon. God confirms His Word and bears witness
'with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit' (Heb. 2:4). Not just back then, but right now.
(Benny Hinn - The Miracle of Healing)

"You have a Heavenly Father. He loves
you. He sees you as an individual, not as one looking down and seeing a mass of humanity below. You are as personal to God
as though you were the only one in the whole world with a need, as though you were the only one trusting Him. You are surrounded
by His tender care and everlasting love. You are a child of His keeping. You can pray about your job, pray about the clothing
for your body, pray about the daily needs of that little family of yours, including the shoes on your children's feet. You
have a Heavenly Father who is interested in every detail of your life."

Us To Pray)

"Blessed are those whose
strength is in you...As they
pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place
of springs." (Psalm 84:5-6) (New
International Version)
"Comfort is not given to us when we are lighthearted
and cheerful. We must travel the depths
of emotion in
order to experience comfort - one of God's most precious gifts. And then we must be prepared to become coworkers
with Him.
When the shadows of night - needed night - gather over the garden of our souls, when leaves close up and flowers
no longer reflect any sunlight within their folded petals, and when we experience even the thickest darkness, we must remember
that we will never be found wanting and that the comforting drops of heavenly dew fall only after the sun
has set."
(L. B. Cowman - Streams In The Desert)

"The Power of Prayer" by Nick Kenny:
"Nobody knows the power of prayer,
But Somebody must be listening there
With
a friendly ear for the heart that calls.
Someone Who knows when a sparrow falls.
Miracles lie in the power of prayer;
Faith that can banish the soul's despair!
Hope that can shine like a holy light
And brighten the spirit's darkest
night!
When earthly help is of no avail
There is one Friend Who will never fail;
Just lift your eyes - the answer
is there.
For nobody knows the power of prayer!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"There is a legend that tells of a
German baron
who, at his castle on
the Rhine, stretched wires in the
air from tower to tower so that the
wind might treat them
as a wind harp
and thereby create music as it blew
across them. Yet as the soft breezes
swirled around the castle,
no music
was born.
One night, however, a fierce storm
arose, and the hill where the castle
sat was struck
with the fury of the
violent wind. The baron looked out
his doorway on the terror of the wind,
and the wind harp
was filling the air
with melodies that rang out even above
the noise of the storm. It had taken
a fierce storm
to produce the music!
Haven't we all known people whose lives
have never produced any pleasing music
during their
days of calm prosperity
but who, when fierce winds have blown
across their lives, have astonished us
by the power
and beauty of their music?"

"Without God's perspective, we can lose hope and get discouraged. Luke 18:27
declares that all things are possible with God - we should look at our problems from God's perspective.
'Jesus replied,
What is impossible from a human
perspective is possible with God.'
God is not elusive - He reveals Himself in His
Word.
First John 2:5 tells us that we can
discover God's perspective in the Bible.
'But those who obey God's word really
do love
Him. That is the way to know whether or not
we live in Him.'

"Memories" by Grace E. Easley
"Memories
are heartbeats, Sounding through the years,
Echoes never failing, Of our smiles and tears.
Moments that are captured,
Sometimes unaware,
Pictures in an album, Or a lock of hair.
Images that linger Deep within the mind,
Bits of verse
we cherished Once upon a time.
Through the musty hallways Of the days we knew,
Ever comes the vision, Beautiful and
true.
Memories are roses Blooming everymore,
Full of fragrant sweetness, Never known before.
Life must have a reason,
Goals for which to strive,
Memories are lights that burn...To keep the heart alive."

"Psalm
112:1-3 speaks of the many benefits of
having faith in God. Happiness is one advantage
of the Christian life. God
also blesses His
people with success, fulfillment, joy, and the
hope of eternity with Him.
'Happy are those who
fear the Lord. Yes,
happy are those who delight in doing what He
commands. Their children will be successful
everywhere; an entire generation of godly
people will be blessed. They themselves will
be wealthy, and their good
deeds will never
be forgotten.'
Proverbs 11:23 reveals the secret of happiness -
we will find it if we fear and
honor God.
'The godly can look forward to happiness, while
the wicked can expect only wrath.'
Solomon wrote in
Ecclesiastes 5:10 that those who
seek happiness in accumulating wealth will never
be satisfied. Happiness comes to
those who obey
God. 'Those who love money will never have enough.
How absurd to think that wealth brings true
happiness.'"

"For Every Sorrow" by Grace E. Easley
"For every
sorrow You bestow,
You also send a sweetness.
Diluting each and every pain,
By Your dear Love's completeness.
You always keep reminding me,
As long as each man lives,
That while one hand may take away,
...Your other
always gives.
For every rock that cuts my foot,
You move a stone away,
And when life asks too much, You find
A
price that I can pay.
When my cries are loudest,
And seem to no avail,
And walls rise up to block my path,
...You
blaze another trail.
Each time my heart grows weary,
You send Your blessed peace,
And when my boat is tempest-tossed,
You bid the storm to cease.
So side by side we walk along,
My Lord and dearest Friend,
For every cross I carry,
...You lift the other end."
