Sunday's Thought
There is a reluctance of people to show sympathy in today's world
There is a great power in the correct use of sympathy, all people fear rejection, people are not meant to be alone, we want to be understood by other people. Jesus Christ was misunderstood frequently in his life.
Lord help us to show understanding to the other people in our lives.

Saturday's Thought
I met three school girls. I said Hello. They greeted brightly. Then one girl asked.. Who are you? I said that it is a blessing when we look at people. Then I wondered is there a difference between looking and seeing. Jesus uses the word seeing a lot to teach His Message. Come and See He says today, and He links it with Living. In His first sermon He says I have come to give new sight to the blind.
I hadn't noticed the word new before...does that mean insight, more than physical sight. He said to the judgemental Pharisee... Do you see this woman? The Pharisee had looked aright, but did not see the inner beauty, the struggle and generosity of the person. Jesus tells about the man who is robbed and wounded by the roadside. Two looked at the man and passed bye. Then a third, a stranger, saw the troubled man, went to help him, brought him to a rest place and paid for his keep.
Lorna Byrne in her talk with The Angels says ...It is how we see. Samuel looked today, but didn't see until later. Maybe it is true that we look with our eyes, but we see with the heart. Jesus, with His Spirit helps to see with our hearts. May our world leaders see with the heart.. May The Spirit give us good intentions, and the strength to fulfil them this day.

Friday's Thought
"Jesus answered them 'I say unto you, if you have faithand do not permit any semblance of doubt... and you say to this mountain. "Be lifted up and thrown into the sea." it will be accomplished. Whatever you ask for in prayer and do so in faith, you will recieve'." (Mt 21: 21-22) |

Thursday's Thought
“If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.” (1 John 4:20-21) listen to chapter (Read by Max McLean. Provided by The Listener's Audio Bible.) |
Wednesday's thought
We wonder, after the way we have tried, that we are not better. Very different from the saints, who are always thanking God that they are not worse. If you open the door of a dark room you cannot see the dust or dirt that is in it. But if you open even a chink of the shutter, then it is that you see the dust. the more light you let in the more dust you notice. thus it is with God's light. The more we ask the Holy Spirit to pour His illuminating light into our souls, the more we notice our faults.
"Thrice Blessed Light, shoot home Your darts,
And pierce the centre of those hearts
Whose faith aspires to You."
If you ask Jesus to come into your life he will be there, we know what he likes and what he dislikes,
if you want him you must not be afraid to pay the price.
Let us ask Our Lord, what faults we are to get rid of, in order to prepare receive Jesus into our hearts.
