God doesn't love us in spite of our faults, He loves us through them as if they don't exist.It's not such a miracle when we believe in God as when we realize God believes in us.

Personal Story Of The Day
God's Choice Is Better Than Ours
However, David knew his God and would not be put off. Many centuries later Paul put into words the truth that God does not choose the great things of this world to do His work, but He calls on those things that the world considers as nothing to confound the world's wisdom (see 1 Cor 1:26-29). Herein lies a basic difference between human reasoning and God's reasoning. David knew his God and had already seen the hand of God upon his own life in a remarkable way.
David said to Saul, "Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock: and I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him" (1 Sam 17:34-35).
All of us face lions and bears and Goliaths who defy the living God and scorn His people. But where is the Lord God of David? He is still the same today, and those of us who put our trust in Him will be victorious. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Ps 46:1).
Jokes Of The Day
God looks over the millions of people and says 'Welcome to Heaven. I want the women to go with Saint Peter, and the men to form two lines. Make one line of the men that dominated their women on earth, and the other of men who were dominated by their women.'There's much movement, but eventually the women are gone and there are two lines. The line of the men that were dominated is 100 miles long. The line of men that dominated women has only one man.
God gets angry and says, 'You men should be ashamed of yourselves. I created you in my image and you were all dominated by your mates. Look at the only one of my sons that stood up and made me proud. Learn from him!'
He turns to the man and says, 'Tell them, my son. How did you manage to be the only one on that line?'
The man says, 'I don't know, my wife told me to stand here.'

Sometimes life seems like a dream, especially when I look down and see that I forgot to put on my pants.
************************************
A film crew was on location deep in the desert. One day an Old Indian went up to the director and said, "Tomorrow rain."
The next day it rained. A week later, the Indian went up to the director and said, "Tomorrow storm." The next day there was a hailstorm. "This Indian is incredible," said the director. He told his secretary to hire the Indian to predict the weather. However, after several successful predictions, the old Indian didn't show up for two weeks.
Finally the director sent for him. "I have to shoot a big scene tomorrow," said the director, "and I'm depending on you. What will the weather be like?"
The Indian shrugged his shoulders. "Don't know," he said. "Radio is broken."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
The Offer Of Eternal Comfort
Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies sake. Psalm 31:16. References from Psalm 31.
How can we pray about facing persecution? The psalmist showed us a way in the above Psalm. Though we don't know the exact situation, David seemed to be faced with a murderous conspiracy (v13). In the face of trouble, he took refuge in the Lord and proclaimed his faith in God's strength, trustworthiness, loving care, and ability to rescue and guide him. He believed that God saw and understood the anguish of his soul and had already responded with favour (v8).
David's faith enabled him to rejoice, but his pain was real and he didn't pretend otherwise. He spoke of sorrow, grief, groaning, and affliction. Both body and soul were in agony... he compared himself to broken pottery. Socially, he was an object of contempt. His friends had deserted him. His agony was deeper than the pain. That's why he was able to say, 'You are my God, My times are in your hands. He trusted God's lovingkindness to display itself at just the right time to save him (v14-16).
We read David's plight historically with the knowledge of the total blessed life he had. We see the beginning to the end. He didn't know of all these things at the time and had to live his life, moment by moment... just as we have to do! Remember, God sees our life just as we see David's whole life... be comforted, God has a good end for us.
Deciding Right or Wrong?
But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean Acts 10:14.
Opinions vary as to what is right and what is wrong. We all have our ideas on the subject. The only problem is what we say is right may be wrong, and our wrongs may be right. That's not too reassuring, is it? Peter definitely had an idea of right and wrong... and was wrong about it. God was preparing him to go to the home of a Gentile named Cornelius, something Peter would consider wrong.
God had to convince Peter otherwise and did it with a vision involving what food was acceptable to a man like Peter. God gave Peter a vision of various animals and instructed him to "kill and eat" (v13). He refused. The voice then said to him, "Do not call anything impure that God has made clean" (v15). Three times this happened, leaving Peter wondering what was going on. Then there was the knock at the door, men looking for him to take him to Cornelius. Before the vision, Peter would have refused. Now he knew his specific instruction was to go with the men.
What made the difference in Peter's thinking? Knowing God's Word on the matter. The same thing will make the difference in our thinking. We are not to decide right and wrong on the basis of what we think or by our past traditions, but on what the Bible reveals.
Facts Of The Day
- Historically, pearl divers dove up to 80 feet with equipment no more sophisticated than nose clips. The divers could stay under water for about a minute and they scooped up the shells with their hands and put them in tubs that would float to the surface. The largest pearl ever found is reported to be four inches around and two inches long.
- Man can force the oyster to produce a pearl by inserting an irritant into the shell. It takes the oyster two to three years to produce a good size pearl. Cultured pearls are usually not perfect, but the Japanese have discovered that if you surgically insert an irritant directly into the body of the oyster this will produce a perfect pearl
