Purity

How can a young person stay pure? By obeying your word.
Psalm 119:9, NLT

Dear Lord,

I pray for purity among the young people who are faced with so many distractions, and temptations that accost them on every side--via the media, technology, internet, society, peers, etc. I pray that they would read your word and hide it in their hearts. I pray that you would bring your Word to remembrance in those moments when it's most needed. Let your Word be a strong shield for them. In Jesus' name.

Amen

The U in JesUs

From an email posting:

The U in JesUs

Before U were thought of or time had begun,
God stuck U in the name of His Son…

And each time U pray, you'll see it's true,
You can't spell out JesUs and not include U.

You're a pretty big part of His wonderful name,
For U, He was born; that's why He came.

And His great love for U is the reason He died.
It even takes U to spell crUcified.

Isn't it thrilling and splendidly grand
He rose from the dead, with U in His plan?

The stones split away, the gold trUmpet blew,
And this word resUrrection is spelled with a U.

When JesUs left earth at His Upward ascension,
He felt there was one thing He just had to mention.

"Go into the world and tell them it's true
That I love them all - Just like I love U."

So many great people are spelled with a U,
Don't they have a right to know JesUs too?

It all depends now on what U will do,
He'd like them to know,
But it all starts with U.

Will YOU pass it on?


When Jesus died on the cross he was thinking of you!
