Guest guest Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Maybe this isn't exactly on target, but it's something I've been thinking about. What "truths" would you like everyone to know? For me, some are: I am not the center of the universe. Everything has its good and its bad. We are souls with bodies, not bodies with souls. Ponder: what CAN'T God do? Peggy wrote: Subject: Reasons for Joy Reasons for JoyRejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!Philippians 4:4 (NKJV)“How’s life?” someone asks. And we who’ve been resurrected from the dead say, “Well, things could be better.” Or “Couldn’t get a parking place.” Or “My parents won’t let me move to Hawaii,” Or “People won’t leave me alone so I can finish my sermon on selfishness.”…Are you so focused on what you don’t have that you are blind to what you do?You have a ticket to heaven no thief can take,an eternal home no divorce can break.Every sin of your life has been cast to the sea.Every mistake you’ve made is nailed to the tree.You’re blood-bought and heaven-made.A child of God—forever saved.So be grateful, joyful—for isn’t it true?
