Courage

Courage

by Max Lucado

from "the Applause of Heaven"

Could you use some courage? Are you backing down

more than you are standing up? Jesus scattered the butterflies

out of the stomachs of His nervous disciples....

We need to remember the disciples were common men given

a compelling task. Before they were the stained- glassed saints

in the windows of cathedrals, they were somebody's next-door-neighbors

trying to make a living and raise a family. They weren't cut from

theological cloth or raised on supernatural milk. But they were an

ounce more devoted than they were afraid and, as a result, did some extraordinary things.

Earthly fears are no fears at all. Answer the big question of eternity, and the little questions of life fall into perspective.

Max

Read Isahiah 43:1-3, Isahiah 41:10,13 and Psalm 31:19-20

Max,

Thank you for the message. I believe that God has a plan for me. I pray that I am following His wishes each day. I keep my eyes open so that I may see His miracles now and find peace in my heart for all that has happened.

Much love,

Shirley

Shirley,

its Joe, I was just quoting "max" (max lucado)

If you ask Him to reveal His plan for you, He will--- He is faithful.

And, miracles occur everyday-- just have to have your eyes open them......

God Bless you....

Joe

[J.C.]

When God takes somebady from you he leaves you with memories.

''Memories are a gift from God to those left behind.

They bring comfort, joy and laughter,

They enable one to live on forever in the hearth

of those they loved.''

J.C.

Joe,

Thank you! I know God has a plan for me. I think of all that he has done for me and continues to do for me and my family. I am a Survivor of this disease and I give all the thanks and glory to my Lord, Jesus Christ. He is my #1 physician and I love him more than I can say. He is good and he is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. He hears our prayers and answers them. I believe! Thank you, Jesus...

Prayers for you and your family

God Bless

Karen
