SPIRIT FILLED!
Lord, whenever I'm down and I have no where to turn to, You're here with me. When I need encouragement, here You're just right beside me.
Lord, despite the struggles I've gone through these few days, You've sent Your people to lift me up and support me!
Lord, I really THANK YOU for protecting me from every danger and harm. Lord, You have raised my innerchild up again. Again and again, You've comforted me! Lord, I want to confessed that I have go against Your Will.. but Lord, trust me.. I promised that I won't repeat those histories again for You're God, My Savior and My Refuge! I will stand tall and defeat every enemies that come and nevertheless, I'm aware and know that the enemy just come to steal, kill and destroy but Lord, I know You come and give me life- life abundantly! (John 10:10) I will live for You alone, Lord!
Lord, Thank You for Your Cross and Loving me Unconditionally!
"To live is Christ, to die is gain" (Phil. 1:21)
"EACH DAY . . .
In a few moments the day will arrive and I will be exposed to the day’s demands. It is now that I must make a choice. Because of Calvary, I’m free to choose. So I choose.
I CHOOSE LOVE . . . No occasion justifies hatred; no injustice warrants bitterness. I choose love. Today I will love God and what God loves.
I CHOOSE JOY . . . I will invite my God to be the God of circumstance. I will refuse the temptation to be cynical . . . the tool of the lazy thinker. I will refuse to see people as anything less than human beings, created by God. I will refuse to see any problem as anything less than an opportunity to see God.
I CHOOSE PEACE . . . I will live forgiven. I will forgive so that I may live.
I CHOOSE PATIENCE . . . I will overlook the inconveniences of the world. Instead of cursing the one who takes my place, I’ll invite him to do so. Rather than complain that the wait is too long, I will thank God for a moment to pray. Instead of clinching my fist at new assignments, I will face them with joy and courage.
I CHOOSE KINDNESS . . . I will be kind to the poor, for they are alone. Kind to the rich, for they are afraid. And kind to the unkind, for such is how God has treated me.
I CHOOSE GOODNESS . . . I will go without a dollar before I take a dishonest one. I will be overlooked before I will boast. I will confess before I will accuse. I choose goodness.
I CHOOSE FAITHFULNESS . . . Today I will keep my promises. My debtors will not regret their trust. My associates will not question my word. My wife will not question my love. And my children will never fear that their father will not come home.
I CHOOSE GENTLENESS . . . Nothing is won by force. I choose to be gentle. If I raise my voice may it be only in praise. If I clench my fist, may it be only in prayer. If I make a demand, may it be only of myself.
I CHOOSE SELF-CONTROL . . . I am a spiritual being . . . After this body is dead, my spirit will soar. I refuse to let what will rot, rule the eternal. I choose self-control. I will be drunk only by joy. I will be impassioned only by my faith. I will be influenced only by God. I will be taught only by Christ. I choose self-control.
Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. To these I commit my day. If I succeed, I will give thanks. If I fail, I will seek his grace. And then, when this day is done, I will place my head on my pillow and rest" (Max Lucado in When God Whispers Your Name, as cited in FGA, 2006).
