God's Word of the Day
Look at what I have done in the past. I know how fearful life can be. Do not be afraid. I love you and seek you out. I will give you what you need to act in love for Me. I call you, gift you and send you out to act. Do not be afraid. I love you.

Psalm of the Day
Sometimes You seem to do the strangest things!
You choose the most unlikely people to act for You.
You take the people that seem to be in the worst position possible and use them to do Your will.
You take a situation, that to the world looks shameful, and send Your Son to save us.
You take some people that seem to be in disgrace, and give them Your Son.
You tell them not to be afraid about it all.
Well, they were scared to death!
You beat all!
A New Life begins with the morning.
A Light begins to shine in the darkness.
Beauty bursts forth in Light and creation.
A New Life takes shape.
You not only give Yourself, You change those that You give Yourself too.
A New Life begins in the life of Jesus, and a New Life begins in the heart of Your people.
You search us out and graciously give New Life.
You beat all!
You make the lowly and the weak strong and fearless.
You cause us to want to work for You.
Your Love makes me want to run and jump and shout and play for You.
You create and give a New Life to all of us through Jesus.
What a Gift!
What a Life!
What a Love!
You beat all!
Sometimes You seem to do the strangest things!
You choose the most unlikely people to act for You.
You take the people that seem to be in the worst position possible and use them to do You will.
You take a situation that to the world looks shameful, and send Your Son...
You take some people that seem to be in disgrace, and give them Your Son.
Wait a minute! That's me!
You choose to use me!
You come to me!
Thanks be to God!
Prayer of the Day
You are amazing! You beat all! Thanks for New Life! Thanks for Light that shines in the darkness! Thanks for Jesus! Thanks! ---Amen
