God has given you this day...

“Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself.  Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections, but instantly set about remedying them…every day begin the task anew.”  Francis De Sales

The Apostle Paul constantly examined his life.  He wrote, “…but one thing I do.  Forgetting what is behind and straining forward to what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” 

Remember that God knows your name.  He is patient with you.  He applauds every step that you take in His direction.  He has given you this day.  Also He has made available new strength for the day.  Use it wisely.  

REFRESHING...

Refresh your mind and soul with these words:

“Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.

            

AND BEING FOUND IN APPEARANCE AS A MAN, he humbled himself and became obedient to death…even death on a cross!

Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that JESUS CHRIST IS LORD, to the glory of God the Father.”                            Philippians 2: 5 -11
