Ours is a world where people don't know what they want and are willing to go through hell to get it.A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.
Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value.

Personal Story Of The Day
An Age Of MercyThe infamous 19th-century feud between the Hatfields and the McCoys started with a fight over a razorback hog. It turned into a vendetta that continued unstopped for several decades. Members of both clans committed brutal murders, and their fighting brought heartache to every family in the valley of the Tug Fork River, along the border of Kentucky and West Virginia.
The men who started this bitter and destructive violence, William Hatfield and Randolph McCoy, were responsible for scores of deaths, but they were never brought to justice in a court of law. Although they both lived long lives, they had to watch the suffering and death of their loved ones.
Revenge, no matter how right our reason may seem, always goes wrong. Only God has the wisdom and patience needed to punish evildoers properly and to bring them to justice. He treads the winepress of His wrath alone (Isaiah 63:3), and He doesn't need any help from us. The world tells us, "Don't get mad, get even!" But Paul gives us this instruction: "Repay no one evil for evil... Do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, 'Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,' says the Lord" (Romans 12:17-19).

By holding back on rightful vengeance for the death of his son... the New Testament church was born. We are asked to promote and display the same attitude. Millions of lives, including yours have been saved by God's mercy... which is nothing more than the holding back of vengeance.

You Can't Take It With You
There once was a rich man who was near death. He was very grieved because he had worked so hard for his money and he wanted to be able to take it with him to heaven. So he began to pray that he might be able to take some of his wealth with him.
An angel hears his plea and appears to him. 'Sorry, but you can't take your wealth with you.'
The man implores the angel to speak to God to see if He might bend the rules. The man continues to pray that his wealth could follow him. The angel reappears and informs the man that God has decided to allow him to take one suitcase with him.
Overjoyed, the man gathers his largest suitcase and fills it with pure gold bars and places it beside his bed.
Soon afterward the man dies and shows up at the Gates of Heaven to greet St. Peter. St. Peter seeing the suitcase says, 'Hold on, you can't bring that in here! '
But, the man explains to St. Peter that he has permission and asks him to verify his story with the Lord.
Sure enough, St. Peter checks and comes back saying, 'You're right. You are allowed one carry-on bag, but I'm supposed to check its contents before letting it through.' St. Peter opens the suitcase to inspect the worldly items that the man found too precious to leave behind and exclaims, 'You brought pavement!!!???'

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
This is youWe may not be called to a ministry exactly like the apostle Paul's, but we are still called to be Christ's witnesses to the ends of the earth. Acts 1:8 says, 'But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth'. In many ways, this is lifelong commission for every Christian. During your prayer time today, ask God to help you be the Lord's witness in your own end of the earth.
God wants you to share your experience of receiving the Holy Spirit, not to debate about your scriptural knowledge. Debating scriptures is often the only thing that those who don't believe in the Holy Spirit, and the evidence of speaking in tongues have. This often puts these people in a difficult position, as they are confronted with something that is not a debate. Nor is it something that blind and powerless faith can defend.
When God placed his salvation miracle in you, you are set above and beyond everyone who hasn't grasped this reality. Our testimony is not about debating scriptures, but about the revelation of God in us. God's power is the testimony, not your knowledge of lesser matters. God is the one who filled us with the Holy Spirit... it is the work of his doing, not ours.
The only thing you need to remember is that God gave you a gift with scriptural evidence that needs using... God will bless people's hearts and reveal the truth of your testimony. Remember, your testimony is about something God is doing in your life, it's not about your understanding of scripture. Our job is easy... shine the light of truth and live in it.
A Friendly Face
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, temperance (self-control). Galatians 5:22-23.
A kind face is so disarming. In a world of high walls, fear, pride and ambitions, a kind smile dissolves many barriers. Kindness is not pretentious. It has no agenda. It is not the salesman's ingratiating attempt to sell his product. It is a joy from our inner man conveyed in a gentle manner to those around us. While joy is a bubbly state of rejoicing directed toward God, the source, kindness is directed toward other people.
Kindness does not focus on itself but on others. It sees a discouraged face. It touches a tender spot in someone's life. It always encourages, and in a gentle way, it offers renewed courage and strength. Kindness does not reproach but rather understands. It is like a soothing balm; it heals wounds, and it calms violence and anger. Kindness emerges where bombastic proclamations, self-will and selfish demands stand no chance.
Kindness melts the ice. It is like water that rises above a wall enabling us to sail over instead of frantically trying to knock down the wall. When kindness flows forth from a person, others relax. It is not confrontational but rather creates peace, even in tense situations. Kindness is like a train engine that pulls the wagons of joy and peace.
Our kindness enables others to recover their joy and experience peace instead of worry and concern.
