THOUGHT FOR TODAY #40

1. FROM RICK GODWIN “LIVE FULL DIE EMPTY

God isn’t in the business of making carbon copies. He makes us each unique so that all humankind is a fascinating mix of diversity. Agreement requires diversity. Unity demands diversity. If all of us were the same, then life would be boring. Thank God, you’re different from everyone else!

2. FROM JAMES ALLEN “AS A MAN THINKKETH

Every man is where he is by the law of his being; the thoughts which he has built into his character have brought him there, and in the arrangement of his life there is no element of chance, but all is the result of a law which cannot err. This is just as true of those who feel “out of harmony “with their surroundings as of those who are contended with them.

1. FROM KING DAVID THE SOLDIER AND WARRIOR KING:

Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee: He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved

Psalm 55:22 The human mind can stand only so much weight. One mental burden piled upon another, unless relief is obtained, will in due course reach your breaking point and cause serious difficulty. Fortunately you do not need to carry your burdens without assistance.God will help you carry them. Let Him help you!

2. FROM PAUL THE APOSTLE, THE COURAGEOUS MAN OF THE HIGH GOD.

“If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things are become new. 11 Corinthians 5:1 Never be discouraged about yourself. God loves you and will never give you up
