Personal Story Of The Day
The Source Of The Greatest Freedom
Studies by a number of psychologists show that it is not great riches that make people happy, but friends and forgiveness. Commenting on these findings in a USA Today article, Marilyn Elias says, "The happiest people surround themselves with family and friends, don't care about keeping up with the Joneses next door, lose themselves in daily activities, and most important, forgive easily."
University of Michigan psychologist Christopher Peterson says that the ability to forgive others is the trait most strongly linked to happiness.
He calls it "the queen of all virtues, and probably the hardest to come by." An unforgiving spirit is often the last emotional fortress we yield to the power of God. Even as Christians, we may cling to anger and bitterness, feeling that those who have wronged us should suffer for their offences.
However, when we realise how much God has forgiven us, we are compelled to extend mercy to others. The Bible urges us to "put on bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long suffering;... even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye." (Colossians 3:12-13).
Forgiveness is God's command to us and is part of a life of love, peace, thankfulness, and praise (v14-16). Personal reminder... 'Freely we have been forgiven; let us freely forgive.'
Jokes Of The Day
I went to a job interview this week. The interviewer said to me that I had put on my CV that I was very quick at mental arithmetic.
"What's nineteen multiplied by seventeen?" he asked.
Quick as a flash I replied, "Thirty-four."
"That's wrong," he said.
"But it was very quick," I pointed out.

Two men were walking home after a Halloween party and decided to take a shortcut through the cemetery just for laughs. Right in the middle of the cemetery they were startled by a tap-tap-tapping noise coming from the misty shadows. Trembling with fear, they found an old man with a hammer and chisel, chipping away at one of the headstones.
"Holy cow, Mister," one of them said after catching his breath, "You scared us half to death -- we thought you were a ghost! What are you doing working here so late at night?"
"Those fools!" the old man grumbled. "They misspelled my name!"
************************************
A blonde was complaining to her friend about constantly being called a dumb blonde. Her friend tells her "go do something to prove them wrong! Why don't you learn all the state capitals or something?" The blonde thinks this is a great idea, and locks herself up for two weeks studying.
The next party she goes to, some guy is making dumb blonde comments to her. She gets all indignant and claims, "I'm NOT a dumb blonde. In fact, I can name ALL the state capitals!"
The guy doesn't believe her, so she dares him to test her. He says "Okay, what's the Capital of Montana?"
The blonde tosses her hair in triumph and says, "That's easy! It's M!"

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
The Best Of All Choices
Christ loved the church and gave himself for it. Ephesians 5:25. References from Song of Solomon 8:5-9.
Jesus taught that being married and being single were both callings from God. While some marry, others have been called to be single for the sake of the kingdom of God. Likewise, the apostle Paul pointed out that single people enjoy certain advantages when it comes to their calling. They have the potential to minister without the distractions of married life.
The determining factor is a matter of divine purpose for the individual. Paul favoured the single life because of his own personal experience; he admitted that each man has his own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that (1 Cor 7:7). Paul also recognised that one's marital state is also a matter of choice. When he was asked by a group of singles in the Corinthian church whether it was appropriate for them to marry, Paul left the decision up to them (1 Cor 7:25-28).
They had the freedom to marry whomever they pleased, as long as they married another believer (1Cor. 7:39). In the above verses the bride speaks of a similar freedom. She compares what she has to offer with the vineyard in Baalhamon that Solomon already possesses.
Just as Solomon had the right to let his vineyard out to tenants, she has the right to give herself to the one she chooses. The Song of Solomon concludes with her offering herself to the one she loves, as a treasure unequalled... your status in the sight of God.
Go Wisely On Judgement!
Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. John 7:24
We are all entitled to our opinions on any given subject. But how we apply that opinion is another matter. Just because we have an opinion on something doesn't mean that we have the right to speak that opinion to everyone. An opinion can range from being favourable to unfavourable. It can be encouraging to some and hurtful to others. Therefore, we need to exercise caution in giving out our opinions.
Opinions do not always hold truth, because we don't always have any proof to uphold the opinion. But sometimes people judge others by the opinion they have formed, just by watching them, or hearing things about them. David's brothers had a very low opinion of him, when he turned up at the place of battle with the Philistines. They judged him to be arrogant and evil, for having left his sheep unattended.
David saw that nobody else would step up to meet Goliath, the giant, who had come against the armies of God. Even Saul said he was too young... just a youth, and he wasn't strong enough to come against such a man as Goliath.
But not to be outdone, David told Saul all about the Lord defending him against the lion and the bear, how he came out unharmed. So, Saul sent him to do what would normally be a man's job. Who else would have gone against this giant, had the opinions of David's brothers and Saul ruled the day? Mind your thoughts when someone in the church stands up to take on the enemy.
