Divine appointment !

Not an interruption but there by divine appointment

Jesus wants us to see that neighbor next door
or the people sitting next to us on a plane
or in a classroom are not interruptions to our schedule.

They are there by divine appointment.
Jesus wants you to see their needs, their loneliness,
their longings, and he wants to give us
the courage to reach out to them.




Appointed to eternal life

[The Lord said,]
"I have made you a light to the Gentiles,
to bring salvation to the furthest corners of the earth.

" When the Gentiles heard this, they were very glad and thanked the Lord for his message; and all who were appointed to eternal life became believers.


Acts 13:47-48 NLT






Let us be reminded
that there are people around us whom God is pursuing.
It may be the teenager down the street, a lonely coworker,
a weary single parent, or even someone standing next to you
in line at the bank.


The world is full of men and women
who have been crying out to God
in the quiet desperation of their hearts
or in the darkness of a long night.


God has been working in their lives
and stirring a desire for him.
He wants to use us to be a light to them
and bring them the good news of hope in Jesus Christ.

Ask that his Spirit would show you
those in your neighborhood
or workplace who need to be
the recipients of your prayers.

He will help you to build relationships
with them and be a vessel
through whom God can share his love.


LORD, show me those in my neighborhood,
my circle of friends, and my family that you want me
to pray for and build relationships with.


They may be the very people he has appointed to eternal life.


Equip me to be a light to those who don't know you
and to love them for Christ's sake.

The only Marine Infantry Battalion left in Iraq


They would like to have this message passed to as many people as possible, to let the folks back home know that they remember why they're there and that they remember those who've been lost.


The proud warriors of Baker Company wanted to do something to pay tribute To our fallen comrades. So since we are part of the only Marine Infantry Battalion left in Iraq the one way that we could think of doing that is By taking a picture of Baker Company saying the way we feel. It would be awesome if you could find a way to share this with our fellow countrymen. I
was wondering if there was any way to get this into your papers to let the world know that "WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN" and are proud to serve our country." Semper Fi

Yes. It is like that!

Count your blessings, pray for them,

Talk to your Creator
and
the next time when...

the other car cuts you off and you must hit the brakes,
or you have to park a little further from Walmart than you want to be,
or you're served slightly warm food at the restaurant,
or you're sitting and cursing the traffic in front of you,

or the shower runs out of hot water,



Think of them...

Protecting your freedom!
