"Kindness provides a house, but love makes a home.
Kindness packs an adequate lunch, but love puts
a note of encouragement inside.
Kindness provides a television set or computer
as a learning aid, but love controls the remote control and cares enough to insist a child "sign off".
Kindness sends a child to bed on time, but love
tucks the covers around a child's neck and provides a goodnight hug and kiss.
Kindness cooks a meal, but love selects the "your
favorite foods" menu and lights the candles.
Kindness writes a thank-you note, but love thinks
to include a joke or photograph or bookmark inside the envelope.
Kindness keeps a clean and tidy house, but love
adds a bouquet of fresh flowers.
Kindness pours a glass of milk, but love occasionally
adds a little chocolate sauce.
Kindness is doing what is decent, basic, courteous,
and necessary for an even, smooth, and gentle flow of life.
Love is taking the extra step to make life truly
exciting, creative, and meaningful! Love is what makes things special." (Taken from God's Little Devotional Book for Women)

"I can't understand it. I honestly cannot.
Why did Jesus [die on the cross]? Oh, I know, I know. I have heard the official answers. 'To gratify the old law.'
'To fulfill prophecy.' And these answers are right. They are. But there is something more here. Something very compassionate.
Something yearning. Something personal. What is it? Could it be that His heart was broken for all the
people who cast despairing eyes toward the dark heavens and cry the same 'Why?' Could it be that His heart was broken
for the hurting?... I imagine Him, bending close to those who hurt. I imagine Him listening. I picture His eyes misting
and a pierced hand brushing away a tear... He who also was once alone, understands." (Max Lucado - Grace For The Moment)

"Life is miraculous and mysterious. Genesis
2:7 reveals that our bodies are 'dust' until God chooses to breath life into us. He alone is the giver of life! 'And
the LORD God formed a man's body from the dust of the ground and breathed into it the breath of life. And the man
became a living person.' (New Living Translation) God gives physical life as well as spiritual life. Isaiah 55:1-2
describes the nourishment God provides for the soul. 'Is anyone thirsty? Come and drink - even if you have no money!
Come, take your choice of wine or milk - it's all free! Why spend your money on food that does not give you strength? Why
pay for food that does you no good? Listen, and I will tell you where to get food that is good for the soul!' (New Living
Translation) When Nicodemus came to Jesus searching for spiritual truth, Jesus explained to him that he needed to
be 'born again'. John 13:3 teaches us that real life comes through repentance and spiritual rebirth. 'Jesus replied, 'I
assure you, unless you are born again, you can never see the Kingdom of God.' (New Living Translation) Imagine a bright oasis with tall palms, clear springs,
and abundant food and drink. Offering satisfaction and even life, this cherished spot in the sands would draw hungry and thirsty
desert wanderers. Desperate and needy, they would expend every ounce of strength to get there. Just as dry throats
and parched lips yearn for drink, and empty stomachs and starved bodies cry for food, spiritually starved and thirsty men
and women strain toward sustenance. And like a glorious oasis, God's Word gives hope. God offers satisfaction, renewal, real
soul food - life. Other offers entice, but they prove to be mirages. This oasis is real. Do you thirst? Drink God's
Water of Life. Are you hungry? Pull up to His banquet table, and feast on His goodness. There you will find real life." (Taken

"Promises Kept" by Ruth Scarbrough:
"God never promised
in whatever we do that
we'd always be happy
and healthy too.
He never said life
would be free of pain
but He said He'd be there
time and again
to bolster our spirits,
to lighten our way,
to give strength and courage
day after day.
To make us feel worthy,
to give inner peace
and from life's tensions
a loving release."

"The Bible is filled with glorious accounts of miracles. Throughout the ministry of Jesus,
Scripture reveals many occasions when He supernaturally intervened in the lives of men and women. From turning water into
wine at Canaan to raising Jairus' daughter from the dead, He brought help and hope to desperate lives...There was no disease
or condition that was too difficult for Jesus to heal. He had power over all diseases... The same Jesus who walked this
earth "healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people" still heals today. Diseases and infirmities
still vanish as sick bodies are transformed by the healing touch of Jesus. Health and life are restored when the Master comes
on the scene." (Benny Hinn - The Miracle of Healing)

"A Prayer Away" by Connie Hinnen:
"Don't be distressed or worried, Be confident and still... For many prayers
are going up, All asking For God's Will. The road ahead seems dark now, There's not much you can do But place
yourself within His hands, And He will see you through. So trust Him for each moment, Cast on Him every care...
And His strong arms will carry you When it's too much to bear. There's power for the asking, And strength for
each new day... The Great Physican's still 'on call' - He's just a prayer away." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"When I look back across the landscape of my life,
I am able to connect specific individuals to each crossroad and every milestone. A few of them have remained my friends to this very day. Each one has helped me clear a hurdle or handle a
struggle, accomplish an objective or endure a trial - and ultimately
laugh again. I cannot even imagine where I would be today were it not for that handful of friends who have given me a heart
full of joy. Let's face it, friends make like a lot more fun." (Taken from Laugh Again - Experience Outrageous Joy by
Charles S. Swindoll)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ "On the Cross of Calvary,
Jesus changed my human minus into God's plus. He released the power of God's mercy, forgiveness and healing
to me if I would come to Him and simply ask for it." (Taken from Mark My Word by Reinhard Bonnke)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The beauty
of this world is but a preview of heaven's wonders.
