Scripture: John 14:27
"I am leaving you with a gift-peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid " NLT

A young man whose life is in severe turmoil has a dream. In his dream he has a discussion with the Lord. As they are talking the young man asks the Lord a question, "What type of changes would be appropriate for my life? The Lord responds, "Are you sure you want to know." The young man thinks for a moment and says, "yes, this is heavy on my heart."

Jesus accommodates the young man as follows:

1. Stop Worrying: I am here to take all your burdens and carry them for you

2. Put it on MY list: I can't help you until you turn your burdens over to Me.

3. Talk to ME: I want to be your best friend and hear all about your day.

4. Leave it alone: Place your burdens with ME and forget about them. 

5. Trust ME: Know that when you ask I will answer --- yes, no or wait.

6. Love Yourself: You are very precious to ME just the way you are.

7. Have Faith: That I will do the best for you in all circumstances.

8. Share: Giving is not a money problem --- it's a faith problem.

9. Be Patient: MY timing is in your best interest and perfect.

10. Be Kind: To yourself and to all others.

Then the young man awoke with a peace he had never felt before.  Jesus loves you! Amen!!

El quebrantamiento de Pedro

If you are unable to see the message below, click here to view .     Leer | Lucas 22.54-62 11 de noviembre de 2014 El orgullo de Pedro era un obstáculo para los propósitos de Dios. Cristo buscaba a un siervo-líder para que guiara a los creyentes una vez que Él regresara al cielo. El antiguo pescador era un impulsivo sabelotodo, pero el Señor vio su potencial a pesar de su arrogancia. Por eso, el gran Artesano utilizó una filosa herramienta —la humillación— para quebrantarlo. Cuando las palabras del Señor estuvieron en conflicto con la opinión de Pedro, el discípulo reprendió temerariamente a Jesús. El Salvador respondió con una virulenta reprimenda, tanto para silenciar como para enseñar ( Mt 16.21-23 ; Jn 13.5-8 ). Inclusive, Pedro incumplió su promesa de morir por el Señor cuando lo negó tres veces ...

In His Eyes

July 23, 2012 Mary Southerland Today's Truth I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be ( Psalm 139:14-15 , NIV). Friend to Friend It was my first day of teaching second grade. While standing at the classroom door, greeting parents and children, I felt a tug on my skirt. I looked down into the beautiful blue eyes of Sammy, one of my new students.  His mother, who was standing beside Sammy, looked at me and said, "I guess you've heard about Sammy.  Good luck!" As she walked away, Sammy said, "She's right. I'm dumb and mean and can't read or write."  Lisa was a tall, blonde and beautiful young woman with zero self-confidence. Lisa was...
