WHAT HAVE WE DONE LATELY

TODAY WAS A DAY OF MUCH ACTIVITY FOR EVERYONE YOUNG AND OLD ,RICH OR POOR ,HAPPY OR SAD .....BEING KIND TO EVERYONE AROUND US IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE LEARN EVERY DAY THAT EVERYONE IS FIGHTING SOME KIND OF BATTLE .....WE PUT ASIDE OUR OWN AGENDA'S AND WE PRAY ..... THE LORD TELLS US , "This , then , is how you should pray : 'Our FATHER in heaven , hallowed be YOUR name , YOUR kingdom come , YOUR will be done on earth as it is in heaven . Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts , as we also forgive our debtors . And lead us not into temptation , but deliver us from the evil one . ' " MATTHEW 6:9-13 ..... HAVE WE TAKEN THE TIME TO SMILE AT SOMEONE ..... IN THE OLD TESTAMENT GOD REVEALS : " A happy heart makes the face cheerful , but heartache crushes the spirit . " PROVERBS 15:13 ..... SO EVEN IF IT SEEMS TO BE A BAD DAY ,SMILE ..... HAVE WE SET ASIDE SOME OF THE TIME WE SPEND ON THINGS WE ENJOY DOING SO AS TO SPEND TIME WITH OTHERS ..... THE GOOD NEWS IS THIS : " For GOD so loved the world that HE gave HIS one and only SON , that whoever believes in HIM shall not perish but have eternal life . " JOHN 3:16 ..... KNOWING THAT GOD GAVE UP HIS ONLY SON IS AN ENCOURAGEMENT FOR US TO SURRENDER SOME OF OUR OWN TIME TO BENEFIT OTHERS ..... HAVE WE TREATED OUR BODIES WITH RESPECT ..... GOD DESIRES US TO BE HOLY AS WE SEE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT , "Therefore, I urge you , brothers in view of GODS mercy to offer your bodies as living sacrifices , holy and pleasing to GOD - this is your spiritual act of worship . " ROMANS 12:1 ..... HAVE WE THOUGHT ABOUT GOOD THINGS
..... DO WE REALIZE THAT WHAT GOES INTO OUR MINDS WILL COME OUT IN OUR LIVES......IN THE WORD WE LEARN : " Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world , but be transformed by the renewing of your mind . Then you will be able to test and approve what GOD'S will is - HIS good , pleasing and perfect will . " ROMANS 12 :2 .....HAVE WE TRIED TO PLEASE THE LORD TODAY.....
KNOWING HIM IN A DEEP AND ABIDING WAY MAKES US WANT TO SUBMIT TO HIS STATUTES .....WHEN WE READ THE BIBLE IT REVEALS , "For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh , but those who live according to the SPIRIT set their minds on the things of the SPIRIT . " ROMANS 8:5...... GOD IS DELIGHTED TO SEE US CONFORMING TO HIS WAY ..... HAVE WE CONSIDERED NOT ONLY BEING A CHILD OF GOD BUT BEING IN HIS FAMILY AS WELL ..... GOD'S MERCY & GRACE ARE GIFTS HE FREELY GIVES TO ALL WHO WILL ACCEPT ..... WE SEE THIS WHEN WE READ , " Yet to all who received HIM , to those who believed in HIS name , HE gave the right to become children of GOD - children born not of natural decent , not of human decision or husbands will , but born of GOD . " JOHN 1:12-13 .....ACCEPTING THAT JESUS DIED FOR US AND TOOK THE PAYMENT FOR OUR SINFUL NATURE ALLOWS US TO ESCAPE THE PERILS OF AN ETERNITY IN HELL .....THE GIFT FOR THOSE WHO REPENT , COMMIT AND BELIEVE IS ETERNITY IN HEAVEN .....LET US REFLECT ON WHAT HAVE WE DONE LATELY ........................SUMMER
