"Put away from you all bitterness and wrath and anger and wrangling and
slander, together with all malice, and be kind to one another,
tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you.
Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children, and live in love, as
Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and
sacrifice to God."  ~Ephesians 4:31-5:2

We cannot believe in God and keep our selfish ways.  When we believe more
strongly in God, we begin to abandon our selfish ways.  The old self can
shrivel up and die, and God's image can become much clearer. The gradual
elimination of selfishness in the growth of love for God and our fellow
human beings is a wonderful goal in our lives.  As the picture grows, we can
reveal more and more of the likeness of God until those who see us can see
in us the power of God's grace at work in a human life.

.=: P R A Y E R   F O R   T H E   D A Y  :=.

I pray that I may grow in my likeness to God.  I pray that others may see in
me some of the power of God's grace at work.

to Iraq. Allie requests prayers for a friend who has ovarian cancer. Lynn
asks prayers for several family members who need special healings for their
illnesses.

Lesley asks prayers for a lovely friend and Priest who is seriously ill in
hospital with liver disease, that he may get better. Brian requests prayers
for his female friend who has been so deeply hurt that she has not been able
to be in a relationship for many years, that she is able to do the necessary
step work to work through her trauma issues.

We pray for unity in our country and that we may build a Culture of Life. We
pray for the safety of our troops, their safe return and their families at
home.  We pray for a deep and profound respect for life, and for the courage
and willingness to stand up for life. We pray for one another, for those who
have asked our prayers and for those who need our prayers the most. Have a
good day!

May God Bless you and those you love, and keep you safe!
