Tell someone today!

Good morning! My name is Charlotte and I am writing to help give our first thoughts to the Lord.

Here's something for you -

Life Without Purpose

There can't be a harvest unless you plant the seed.
There can't be attainment unless there's a goal,
And a man's but a robot unless there's a soul.

If we send no ships out, no ships will come in,
And unless there's a contest, nobody can win.
For games can't be won unless they are played
And prayers can't be answered unless they are prayed.

So whatever is wrong with your life today,
You'll find a solution if you kneel down and pray.
Not just for pleasure, enjoyment and health,
Not just for honors, prestige or wealth,
But pray for a purpose to make life worth living,
And pray for the joy of unselfish giving.

For great is your gladness and rich your reward
When you make your life's purpose the choice
of the Lord.

By Helen Steiner Rice

Colossians 3:23-25 “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons"

Psalms 92 starting back at 7 When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever.

Who is the enemy of the Lord or of us as a Christian??????? Who are the wicked????? Who are the workers of iniquity??????

The answer is those who do not serve the Lord. You either choose to serve the Lord or the devil. You can't do both - it has to be one or the other. Think about that! Look around you - how many people do you see that do not serve the Lord? When we look and see, it may appear that some are flourishing but (there's the but) this scripture says they shall be destroyed for ever.

We don't hear much about hell anymore from the pulpit. Used to be preachers would make your hair stand on end preaching about hell, but it makes people uncomfortable, so that message is quieted these days. But we can be assured that hell will be full. I want my life to stand for the Lord and I don't want people that I know going to hell because I didn't do enough. Their failure will come out in my report before God.

But (there's the but) you, O lord, are most high for evermore. For, lo, your enemies, O Lord, for, lo, you enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

The other side of the coin says this:

But (there's the but)my horn shall you exalt like the horn of a unicorn:

I shall be anointed with fresh oil.

My eye also shall see my desire on my enemies, and my ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.

The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree;

he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.

They shall still bring forth fruit in old age;

they shall be fat and flourishing;


(Why?)to show that the Lord is upright:

he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him
.

So what did this little poem says:

So whatever is wrong with your life today,
You'll find a solution if you kneel down and pray.
Not just for pleasure, enjoyment and health,
Not just for honors, prestige or wealth,
But pray for a purpose to make life worth living,
And pray for the joy of unselfish giving.

For great is your gladness and rich your reward
When you make your life's purpose the choice
of the Lord.

Tell someone today about Jesus and what He has done in your life!!!!!

Have a great day!

Ms. Charlotte
