The Absolute Truth

Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life; No one comes to the Father but through me." (John 14:6)

One of the biggest lies of Satan and of the lies of the world is, "You're okay. I'm okay. We can make it on our own."

But the truth is that we're not okay without Jesus. The Bible tells us that "there is none righteous, no not one." (Romans 3:10).

Please don't get so tied up with this world and it's alluring things that those things draw you away from God.

Don't get so tied up with what you want that what God wants for you doesn't matter.

This world doesn't have a permanent dwelling place for Christians. We're foreigners here... only passing through. That's the truth.

Jesus said, " I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself; that where I am , there you may be also." (John 14:3)

That sounds to me like He's not going to leave us here. Why would I want what this world has to offer when I'm going to that better place with Jesus someday?

Jesus said it, I believe it, and that settles it for me.

This is My Prayer

Bless me, heavenly Father,
forgive my erring ways,

Grant me strength to serve Thee,
put purpose in my days ...

Give me understanding,
enough to make me kind

So I may judge all people
with my heart and not my mind ...

And teach me to be patient
in everything I do,

Content to trust Your Wisdom
and to follow after You ...

And help me when I falter
and hear me when I pray

And receive me in Thy Kingdom
to dwell with Thee some day.

Finally Back Online!

Just a quick note to let you know why the Christian Daily Blog hasn't been updated in awhile... I have been without an ISP for over four weeks! And believe me, it's been rough. ;o) My husband and I just moved to a small town and they are very backed up on DSL installations.

I'm sorry for any inconvenience this has caused you, and I hope you'll get back in the habit of reading now that I'm back online. In fact, why don't you Subscribe in the box to the right so you'll know when the site is updated?

Thanks for reading! Watch for a new post later today.
