And
He said to him,
You
shall love the LORD your GOD
with
all your heart,
and
with all your soul,
and
with all your mind.
This
is the great and foremost commandment.
(Matthew
22:37-38)

What
Grace is Mine
What
grace is mine
That He who dwells in endless light
Called through the night to find my distant soul
And from His scars poured mercy that would plead for me
That I might live and in His name be known
What
grace is mine
to
know His breath alive in me
Beneath His wings my weary soul may soar
All fear can flee for death's dark night is overcome
My Saviour lives and reigns forevermore
So
I will go wherever He is calling me
I lose my life to find my life in Him
I give my all to gain the hope that never dies
I bow my heart take up my cross and follow Him

Excellent
reminder this beautiful fall day...
We
are not long here.
Our
life is but a breath.
So
we better breathe it!

It
is the GRACE of God...
that
has appeared, bringing salvation
It
is the GRACE of God...
that
instructs us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires
It
is the GRACE of God...
that
instructs us to live sensibly, righteously, and godly in the
present age
It
is the GRACE of God...
that
has us looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory
of
our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ
(Titus
2:11-13)

Don't
do random acts of kindness.
Aggressively
do
specific, commanded acts of kindness!

George
Mueller (George Mueller of
Bristol by A. T. Pierson)
When asked what God had taught him most
deeply about life, George Mueller (1805-1898), pastor and
philanthropist, explained:
"There was a day when I died,
utterly died, died to George Mueller, his opinions, preferences,
tastes and will, died to the world, its approval or censure,
died to the approval or blame even of my brethren and friends,
and since then I have studied only to show myself
approved unto God."

The world continues to shake...
Yet,
it
remains completely in His hands!
'He...
upholds all things by the word of His power...'
(Heb
1:3b)
