Unfolding The Rosebud

A young, new preacher was walking with an older, more seasoned preacher
in the garden one day and feeling a bit insecure about what God had for
him to do; he was inquiring of the older preacher. The older preacher 
walked up to a rosebush and handed the young preacher a rosebud and told
him to open it without tearing off any petals. The young preacher looked
in disbelief at the older preacher and was trying to figure out what
a rosebud could poss...

Too Busy

Dear Friend,

As you got up this morning, I watched you and hoped you would talk to me, even if it was just a few words, asking my opinion or thanking me for something good that happened in your life yesterday, but I noticed you were too busy trying to find the right outfit to put on and wear to work. 

So, I patiently wait.

When you ran around the house getting ready, I knew there would be a few minutes for you to stop and say hello, but you were too busy. A...

The Master was in search of a vessel, a vessel that He could use to hold something very valuable. He looked on a shelf and found many, “I need a vessel, which one will it be?”

Daily Encouragement For January 27:

The Christian life is a good, full, rewarding life like no other, but it is also one of great humbleness and humility. If God has called you to be truly like Jesus in all your spirit and soul He will put in you such demands of obedience that you will not even be allowed to follow other Christians.

In numerous ways, He seems to let other good people do things which He will never let you do. Others who seem to be very religious and useful may push themselve...

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in other people.

To lose weight, let go of stress, hatred, anger, contentment and the need to
control others.

To improve your ears, listen to the word of God. Rather than focus on the
thorns of life, smell the roses and count your blessings, giving thanks for
each one of them.

To walk upright, walk with the knowledge and truth of God.

To strengthen your arms, hug at least 3 people a day. Touch someone with
your love...

One day, I woke early in the morning to watch the sunrise. Ah the
beauty of God's creation is beyond description. As I watched, I praised
God for His beautiful work. As I sat there, I felt the Lord's presence with me.

He asked me:
"Do you love me?"
I answered, "Of course, God! You are my Lord and Savior!"
Then He asked, "If you were physically handicapped, would you still love me?"

I was perplexed. I looked down upon my arms, legs, and the rest of my body and
wondered how many things I wouldn't...
