“There is no pillow so soft as a clear conscience.” Author unknown

” Having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed.” I Peter 3:16

Doing what is the right thing to do through the day will allow us to place our head on the pillow tonight and rest peacefully. No need to have a pillow fight with yourself tonight.

“He who cannot forgive others destroys the bridge over which he himself must pass.” George Herbert

“Bearing with one another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.” Colossians 3:13

When we are not willing to forgive we certainly cannot move any further in our chrisitian life than we are at the present time. You see, unforgiveness demolishes the bridge that we must cross over to grow in our spiritual life.

Cross over to heartburncafe.com and learn more about how to forgive.

“I know God will not give me anything I can’t handle, I just wish that he didn’t trust me so much.” Mother Teresa

“No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.”  I Corinthians 10:13

As God grows us it is amazing how much he does trust us in our situations. When peter was being sifted like wheat by Satan, Jesus simply said to Peter,”I will pray for you that your faith fails not.”

“as you walk down the fairway of life you must smell the roses, for you only get to play one round.” Ben Hogan

We only go through life one time, why not take a little time to enjoy the journey.

It still takes time to be holy. Sometimes we need to stop the treadmill that we find ourselves on day in and day out. We need to take time to be with God. Learn to pause or to tarry for a time.

“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28

Someone has said that the violinist knows that he must not keep his bow taut, so he loosens it after each performance. No wonder we produce discord when we keep our lives stretched so tight.

” What is the reason there is so much preaching and so little practice?” Thomas Manton

“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only.” James 1:22

We hear a sermon, maybe we jot it down in our notes, or place it in our heads but we never assimilate it into our hearts. From out of the heart comes the issues of life. Let’s take time today to assimilate the word.

catch us on heartburncafe.com to help assimilate the word.

“An unfulfilled vocation drains the colour from a man’s entire existence.” Honore De Balzac

“Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do,do all to the glory of God.” I Corinthians 10:31

So you are going to work today. Will you do so with a positive attitude to bring glory to God today. Or will you go to work with a negative attitude that will drain the colour out of your very existence. Have a fulfilled day!

“Most people go to the grave with their music still inside them. Oliver Wendell Holmes

“Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.” Jeremiah 33:3

Your day is all about perspective. How you see God will determine how you see life. How you see life will depend on what tune flows out of your spirit today.

” Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare tire?” Corrie Ten Boom

“Pray without ceasing.” I Thessalonians 5:17

If prayer is our steering wheel then it will guide us in our Journey today. The spare tire in automobiles today are not made to carry you very far or move you along very fast.

“Show joy and enjoy; then others will be joyful.” Sylvia Plarth

“For the joy of the Lord is your strength.” Nehemiah 8:10

Have a day filled with the joy of the Lord.
