"There is much to learn in today's world, God, and I am slow to take it in. Be with me as I try." Amen

Elisa - "Anche se non trovi le parole"

Translation

Mmm ....
It 'still beautiful emotion
with falls and all the evil
Like music, like a pain leaves its mark and do not forget
the soul in all its imperfection
makes you fall and raise
follow no logical reason
take and go in the name ...

even if you do not find the words
I've traveled the world in a whole heart ...

no reply, little power
while you decide whether you can trust
your time you are looking for you can only believe
may jump
like a rubber band without thinking no longer maybe it hurts

even if you do not find the words
You gitato the world inside a heart ...
even if you miss looking
have turned the world inside a heart
and you say thank you if you stay as you are
say thanks to you that
never let you
even if you can not sleep again
why do not you think that is the end
even if you can not start
I've traveled the world in a whole heart

He Is Risen!

Easter Joy

Mary Crowell

The garden listened in the stillness

Where bloomed the lilies pearled with dew;

The eastern sky glowed softly bright

As fragrantly the zephyrs blew.

Suddenly the dawn was startled

By an earthquake's mighty roar,

And an angle's hands were moving

The stone before the door.

He is not here! He is risen!
Sweetest music to their ears.
The women hastened with the message

That had scattered all their fears.

And the glad words still are sounding,

Wafted on joy's golden wings . . .

Christ is risen! He is living!

Through all time the echo rings.

The Resurrection - No Room for Neutrality
Love Worth Finding with Pastor Adrian Rogers

"He is not here: for He is risen." Matthew 28:6

It is a disturbing truth that Jesus Christ literally came out of the grave.

You just can't be neutral about the resurrection. If you are a thinking person, you're going to have to face the fact of the resurrection. Either it is true or it is not true. Either He came out of that grave or He did not.

Now which side are you on?

You can't simply say, "It doesn't really make any difference. Let's just put our arms around everybody. We all believe the same thing." No, no, no! When you take a stand for truth, you're going to have a head-on collision with the darkness that doesn't want the light shining in!

* Pray for those in fulltime ministry as they proclaim the truth to a lost world.

* Pray for God's protection as they go to the frontline and battle for souls!

Patience

"Patience means waiting without anxiety."
St. Francis de Sales

"Let you hope keep you joyful,
be patient in your troubles, and pray at all times."
Romans 12:12


How can I grow in patience?

James 5:7-8 Consider the farmers who eagerly look for the rains in the fall and spring. They patiently wait for the precious harvest to ripen.

Whether you're waiting for crops to ripen, a traffic jam to unsnarl, a child to mature, or God to perfect you, you can grow in patience by recognizing that these things take time and there is only so much you can do--if anything--to speed them up. A key to understanding God's will is to understand God's timing.

Psalm 40:1 I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry.

Habakkuk 2:3 If it seems slow, wait patiently for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed.

You must wait patiently in prayer for God to do his work. Remember that God's plan will be accomplished--but not on your schedule.

Galatians 5:22 But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives, he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience....

The more you let the Holy Spirit fill you and rule you, the more patient you will become. Fruit growing of all kinds, including the fruit of the Holy Spirit, takes time.


Is patience really worth working for?

Romans 15:5 May God, who gives this patience and encouragement, help you live in complete harmony with each other--each with the attitude of Christ Jesus toward the other.

Colossians 1:11 We also pray that you will be strengthened with his glorious power so that you will have all the patience and endurance you need. May you be filled with joy.

Patience leads to harmony with others, endurance to handle difficult circumstances, and an expectant attitude of hope that things will get better. It demonstrates a thoughtful and careful attitude toward others' feelings. Anyone can be patient, but there is a higher level of patience that comes from God through his Holy Spirit's presence and work in our lives.

Ephesians 4:2 Be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other's faults because of your love.

Patience is a characteristic of love. The more loving we become, the more we model the nature of God in our lives. God is incredibly patient. Loves requires us to be patient with those we love.

Hebrews 1-:36 Patient endurance is what you need now, so you will continue to do God's will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.

Patience is evidence of strength of character. Tested faith should grow patient endurance.
