Daily Encouragement For July 09:

Tools For Sale

It was advertised that the devil was going to put his tools up for sale. 
On the date of the sale, the tools were placed for public inspection; each 
tool being marked with its sale price. They were a treacherous lot of 
implements...Hatred, Envy, Jealousy, Deceit, Lying, Bitterness, Guilt, Pride, and so on.

Laid apart from the rest was a harmless looking tool, all worn out and priced 
very high.

"What is the name of this tool?" asked one of the purchas...

A Death Brought Me To Repentance

My testimony may seem to unbelievers as very inhuman but the fact is, my
father's death brought about my repentance and it worked out for good. I
loved my father above anyone else. To be honest, he was an idol to me. I'm
not saying it's not good to love a parent but putting one above God or even
ones children is. 

My father wasn't a Christian but he was loving, generous and kind. He did 
have a temper and he also drank quite a bit. The...

Daily Encouragement For May 23:

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...

Live For Today

Have you ever wished on a day that went completely wrong that it were only possible to live that day again?

You'd start out in the morning with the prayers you should have said and through the days your actions
with tolerance were led.

The many little instances that tried your patience, true if only you could start again.

You would know what to do, You would kneel and say your evening prayers and thank God for all you have.

You would thank Him for ...

Live For Today

This is a great poem that reminds me to forget the things that are past and look toward the future and better things the Lord has for me. I hope you enjoy the poem and the message it offers to each one of us.

Have you ever wished, 
when a day went wrong
a wish that's quite in vain
that it were only possible
to live that day again 

You'd start out in the morning
with the prayers you should have said
and through the days your actions
with tolerance be led

Daily Encouragement For April 10:

What To Tell The Devil

When the devil is on your back and you feel like you just cannot shake him, tell him to get off!
He cannot stay on to you because God is right there beside you.

When the devil keeps you up at night, tell him to get out of your bed!
God is your security blanket.

When the devil keeps reminding you of your past tell him where his future is!
You are forgiven and all your sins are forgotten.

When the devil causes sickness and pain, tell him get aw...

Daily Encouragement For April 05:

I was packing my bags for the final bell of school to ring, eager to get out of English class. When the bell rang I stopped by to see my friends at their lockers. I was annoyed while visiting them, it felt like some act was going to bring an abrupt end to something. My stomach was knotted, my heart was pounding and I was dizzy. Besides the external side affects I was feeling, something else told me, deep down inside I knew that something was coming. I was sudd...

Daily Encouragement For March 27:

I did not know His love before,
the way I know it now.
I could not see my need for Him,
my pride would not allow.
I had it all, without a care,
the "Self-sufficient" lie.
My path was smooth, my sea was still,
not a cloud was in my sky.

I thought I knew His love for me,
I thought I'd seen His grace,
I thought I did not need to grow,
I thought I'd found my place.
But then the way grew rough and dark,
the storm clouds quickly rolled;
The waves began to rock my ship,
my anchor ...

Daily Encouragement For March 21:

Well it was battered and scarred, and the auctioneer felt It was hardly worth his while, to waste much time on the old violin But he held it up with a smile..."It sure ain't much but it's all we got left, I guess we ought to sell it too...Now who'll start the bid on this old violin, just one more and we'll be through."

And then he cried, "One! Give me one dollar! Who'll make it two? Only two dollars! Who'll make it three? Three dollars twice! Now that's a goo...

Daily Encouragement For March 16:

There once was a man named Soul who was walking in a garden. He was
whistling a real sweet tune for he was saved and had the joy of the Lord.

But he was a "baby Christian". As he was walking a beautiful and seductive
woman came out from behind a tree. Soul was very startled. He said, "Hello,
I'm Soul, what is your name?" She replied, "I am Temptation, I have 
what you want."

"What do I want?" replied Soul.

"You want to do all things which are of the flesh," said Tem...

Daily Encouragement For March 13:

In a class I teach for adults, I gave the assignment to "go
to someone you love, and tell them that you love them." At the
beginning of the next class, one of the students began by saying, "I
was angry with you last week when you gave us this assignment. I
didn't feel I had anyone to say those words to. But as I began driving
home my conscience started talking. Then I knew exactly who I
needed to say `I love you' to.

Five years ago, my father and I had a vicious di...

Daily Encouragement For March 06:

A pastor passing through his church in the middle of the day, decided to pause by the altar and see who had come to pray.

Just then the back door opened, an old man came down the aisle, the pastor frowned as he saw the man, he hadn't shaved in a while, his shirt was kind of shabby, and his coat was worn and frayed. The man knelt at the altar, bowed his head, then arose, and walked away.

In the days that followed, the pastor continued to stop by, every day aro...

Daily Encouragement For February 04:

The path of life seems so cold and unsure, I have searched and searched for something to help me endure the constant snares of this cruel world. 

It seems so useless as I press on, the pain seems so controlling what should I do? My strength has left me, my thoughts unsecured, I see no future, no peace, and no rest. How do I let go and past the test?

My head is lowered as defeat draws near, the tears run deep as I feel my fears surfacing one by one. What ha...

Daily Encouragement For January 29:

God sees every tear, hears every fear, and touches every soul who draws near His Son.

God can mend a broken heart when He has all the pieces of the heart.

God makes the impossible possible by the impossible.

God never asks whether we can or cannot, He only asks if we are available.

Without God the world would be without form, void and dark.

Millions search for God, but find that He is right there in their heart.

God may calm the storm or He may make it stron...
