The DELUSION of sin!!!!!
I AWOKE (PTL FOR AWAKENING AGAIN!) this morning, much NOT because of Amanda, at 3 AM and got up for good at 4 AM.
It is 5:30 AM as I type today's message.
I AWOKE with the two songs I posted on my previous message on my heart:
"
CALL HIM UP and "YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND."
May I borrow a phrase from both them songs:
"
Delight yourself in the Lord
And He will give you the desires of thine heart
EVEN THOUGH SOMETIMES WE STUMBLE
EVEN THOUGH SOMETIMES WE FALL
Call Him up and tell Him what you want."
"
If the sky above you should turn dark and full of clouds
AND THAT OLD NORTH WIND SHOULD BEGIN TO BLOW"
As Mr. Taylor sang the above song, I smiled DEEPLY and breathed out my FRIEND'S Name-Jesus!
"
Close your eyes and think of me (JESUS!) and soon I will be there to brighten up even your darkest nights."
TRY IT-YOU MIGHT LIKE IT!!!!
Beloved, this OLE WORLD can and DOES too often GET US DOWN!!!!
WE grow WEARY!!!

PAY IT FORWARD!!!!
I MUST be getting OLD!!
"SOMEBODY"- Just this week, told me a GREAT STORY of PAYING IT FORWARD!!!
They were standing in line at the checkout counter-he and his aged wife-when a sudden downpour occurred outside.
He had an umbrella in his car and to retrieve it would soak him, but at least his wife would not get wet.
As the gentleman started for the door, a POLICE OFFICER standing behind him in line suddenly halted him.
He grabbed an umbrella off the store rack and purchased it for him and GAVE the man.
That gentle man PROMISED me, and God, that SOON he would also PAY IT FORWARD!!!
GOD BLESS YOU TODAY!
