Personal Story Of The Day
Love Is The Only Logical Answer
Professor John Nash of Princeton University, New Jersey, is a math genius who has spent his life in the abstract world of numbers, equations... and delusions. Nash suffers from schizophrenia, a mental illness that can result in bizarre behaviour and broken relationships. With medical help and the love of his wife, he learned to live with his illness and later won the Nobel Prize.
In the movie version of his life ('A Beautiful Mind', played by Russell Crowe), Nash said: "I've always believed in numbers and the equations and logics that lead to reason. My quest has taken me through the physical, the metaphysical, the delusional, and back. And I've made the most important discovery of my life. It's only in the mysterious equations of love that any logical reasons can be framed."
In Colossians 1, we discover some of the mysterious equation of love, at its deepest level... God's love for us in Christ. Jesus is the image of the invisible God, and out of love He has created us and sustains us (v16-17). He has also provided deliverance from the powers of darkness (ignorance), (v13) and the forgiveness of our sins (v14).
No wonder Paul said that such love "passes knowledge" (Ephesians 3:19). It takes us beyond logic into the very heart of who God is (1 John 4:16). We are to live and show that love... always.
Jokes Of The Day
A seven year-old turns up in his classroom one morning to be confronted by his teacher:Teacher: "Morning Tommy, and why weren't you at school yesterday?"
Tommy: "Well Miss, my Granddad got burnt."
Teacher:"Oh Dear, he wasn't too badly hurt I hope?"
Tommy: "Oh yes, Miss. They don't mess around at those crematoriums."

The kindergarten class had settled down to its colouring books.
Willie came up to the teacher's desk and said, "Miss Francis, I ain't got no crayons."
"Willie," Miss Francis said, "you mean, "I don't have any crayons.' You don't have any crayons. We don't have any crayons. They don't have any crayons. Do you see what I'm getting at?"
"Not really," Willie said, "What happened to all them crayons?"
************************************
A salesman was going door to door trying to sell his wears. As he walked up to the next house, he noticed a small boy sitting on the front steps.
"Is your mother home?" the salesman asked the small boy.
"Yeah, she's home," the boy said, scooting over to let him past.
The salesman rang the doorbell, got no response, knocked once, then again. Still no one came to the door. Turning to the boy, the fellow said, "I thought you said your mother was home!?"
The kid replied, "She is; but this isn't where I live."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Doing The Will Of God
Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all. 2 Thessalonians 3:16. References from Ephesians 2:11-22.
Peace is not some warm fuzzy feeling of goodwill towards others. It is also not simply an absence of war. According to our verses today, true spiritual peace is found through the work of Jesus Christ to unite people who were once enemies (v14). Jesus has made a way for people who could not coexist, to be united together.
Where there used to be disunity and antagonism, there are now people living together in harmony. We see echoes of Paul's letter to the Galatians in this passage as well. Paul repeats that the Law used to create a wall of hostility between Jews and Gentiles (v11,12, 14). But the crucifixion, resurrection and out-pouring of the Spirit of Christ have destroyed that barrier. Neither group can impose a claim of special privileges, for both needed the work of Christ to bring peace (v17).
Real peace comes through walking in the Spirit... not by knowing how to walk, but by the actual effects of the walk itself! Doing the will of God as opposed to agreeing with it.
How Do You Treat God?
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10.
As parents, we love to see our children happy. We try our best to give them 'the best' we can. Sometimes, this means a sacrifice. We may give them something we want them to have and give up something we really need. We love our children and want to supply them with the best clothing, education, and other things that we can afford. Parents understand the thoughts behind giving your best.
But children haven't been there before, and sometimes don't really appreciate what a parent is trying to do. In fact, a child may be given exactly what they have asked for, and still not appreciate it.
I've seen children get a gift for Christmas or their birthday that they have yearned for, but, when they have it in their possession, it doesn't mean that much anymore. They just put it aside and use something else they already have. That's the way it is with clothes with teenagers, too. Buy them nice clothes, and they will hang them in the back of the wardrobe and never touch them. Buy them t-shirts or baggy, torn jeans, and they will wear them everywhere, if you let them.
As parents, this lack of appreciation bothers us. Can you imagine how God must feel? He gave us Jesus, whose blood was shed for all our sins. Yet we trample over His Word, as if to say, 'that's not for us today.' We sit around complaining, saying "we're having a tough time", "I don't know why this is happening", "no one cares", etc.
Remember those words? God isn't in those types of statements. When we speak God's Word, we are honouring God. But when we speak doubt and unbelief, we are hurting God as our children hurt us when they show no appreciation of the gifts we give them.
God tells us He would have 'Christ dwell in our hearts in faith' [Ephesians 3:17]. But when words of unbelief and doubt flow from our mouth, that isn't faith. We should have the Word within us, speaking it in faith. A little bit of training and consistency will serve you well.
