When I first received this E-mail, I thought...
I don't have time for this... and, this is really inappropriate
during work..
Then, I realized that this kind of thinking is.... Exactly, what has
caused lot of the problems in our world today.
We try to keep God in church on Sunday morning...
Maybe, Sunday night....
And, the unlikely event of a midweek service.
We do like to have Him around during sickness....
And, of course, at funerals.
And, whenever there is money problems, school problems, or job problems...
However, most of us don't have time, or room, for Him during work or play...
Because.. That's the part of our lives we think... We can, and
should, handle on our own.
May God forgive me for ever thinking...
That... There is a time or place where..
HE is not to be FIRST in my life.
We should always have time to remember all HE has done for us..
If, You aren't ashamed to do this...
Yes, I do Love God.
HE is my source of existence and Savior.
He keeps me functioning each and every day. Without Him, I will be nothing.
Why can it be so hard for some people to tell the truth but yet so
easy to tell a lie?
Why are we so sleepy in church but right when the sermon is over we
suddenly wake up?
Why is it so easy to delete a Godly E-mail, but yet we forward all of
the nasty ones?
Of all the free gifts we may receive, Prayer is the very best one....
There are no costs, but wonderful rewards... GOD BLESS!
Isn't it funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then
wonder why the world's going to hell.
Isn't it funny how someone can say 'I believe in God' but still
follow Satan (who, by the way, also 'believes' in God).
Isn't it funny how you can send a thousand jokes through E-mail and
they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages
regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing?
Isn't it funny how when you go to forward this message, you will not
send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what
they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it to them
Isn't it funny how I can be more worried about what other people
think of me than what God thinks of me.
The stronger the man, the faster they are to kneel in prayer, and the
more they will embrace their creator
The more humble the man, the more they will admit that all of their
success, wealth, and health, comes from God.
