Somewhere Out There

I thougt of all my friends today. Whether you are in Taiwan or abroad. I just wanted to let you know "I miss you and love you! Thanks for loving me!"

Somewhere out there beneath the pale moonlight

Someone's thinking of me and loving me tonight

Somewhere out there someone's saying a prayer

That we'll find one another in that dream somewhere out there

And even though I know how very far apart we are

It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star

And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby

It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky

Somewhere out there if love can see us through

Then we'll be together somewhere out there

Out where dreams come true

Fruits of the Spirit > Faith, Hope and Love

Faith, Hope and Love
>by Gramma Cherbear

"The three most important things to have are faith, hope and love. But the greatest of them is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13

God's Word says that there are three very important things He looks for in us. Three things that will please Him about our walk on His path. Our walk with Jesus. Let's take a closer look at what He is saying:

"Faith" - He says we must have faith. This is different from being faithful as we learned in part of this lesson on the Fruits of God's Spirit. God wants us to have faith in Jesus, our Savior and Lord. God wants us to have faith in Him to do what He says He will do.
Hebrews 11:1 "Faith is being sure of what we hope for. It is being certain of what we do not see."

We cannot see Jesus with our eyes. We don't know about the wonderful works He will do today or in all of our tomorrows. We don't always know what we need. We can have faith that God knows all about us and will give us what we need. We can have faith that He is with us at all times and He cares for us. He will show us all these things as we learn to know Him better and better!
Hebrews 11:6 "Without faith it isn't possible to please God. Those who come to God must believe that he exists. And they must believe that he rewards those who look to him."
"Looking to God," means that we trust Him and we seek to know all about Him. Studying His Word and hoping that He will answer our prayers.

"Hope" - You need to know that when God says the word "hope" in the Bible, He does not mean, when you say, "Gee, I hope I get that new toy," or "I hope it doesn't rain so I can play outside." Hoping in God is a stronger hope. It means you believe with all our heart! Your mind and your soul (feelings and emotions) will agree with you heart when you hope with God's strong hope.
Lamentations 3:25 "The LORD is good to those who put their hope in him. He is good to those who look to him."
Psalm 33:18 "But the LORD looks with favor on those who respect him. He watches over those who put their hope in his faithful love."

"Love" - God says that the most important of these three things is Love. His greatest command to us is that we love.
Love God first,
Matthew 22:37-38 Jesus Replied,'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Love him with all you mind. This is the first and most important commandment.' (Deu.6:5)
Love others next, and ourselves third.
Matthew 22:39 And the second is like it. 'Love your neighbor as you love yourself.' (Lev.19:18)
This is how we can have joy. God's love is not like loving our kitten or your favorite toy. It is a love that looks past the faults or misfortunes of others and sees people, even ourselves, with the loving eyes of God. We can, if you have His Spirit living inside of us.

Ask Jesus to live in your heart and be the center of your life. He wants to be first. Always put God first, others next, and you third!
2John 6 "The way we show our love is to obey God's commands. He commands you to lead a life of love..."

Jesus ,Others, You = JOY
When God gives a command, it is for your good. You need to do what is right because you LOVE God. Jesus is the answer to everything. He deserves first place in your life. He is an Awesome, Mighty God, who loves you!

Great Notes..THINK ABOUT IT

"A good painter is to paint two main things, men and the working of man's mind."

"Experience does not err. Only your judgments err by expecting from her what is not in her power."

"The function of muscle is to pull and not to push, except in the case of the genitals and the tongue."

"As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death."

"Common Sense is that which judges the things given to it by other senses."

"I have offended God and mankind because my work didn't reach the quality it should have."

"While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die."

"Anyone who in discussion relies upon authority uses, not his understanding, but rather his memory."

"Patience serves as a protection against wrongs as clothes do against cold. For if you put on more clothes as the cold increases, it will have no power to hurt you. So in like manner you must grow in patience when you meet with great wrongs, and they will be powerless to vex your mind."

"Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer. Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be taken in at a glance and a lack of harmony and proportion is more readily seen."

"I roamed the countryside searching for answers to things I did not understand. Why thunder lasts longer than that which causes it, and why immediately on its creation the lightning becomes visible to the eye while thunder requires time to travel. How the various circles of water form around the spot which has been struck by a stone and why a bird sustains itself in the air. These questions and other strange phenomena engaged my thought throughout my life."

"Time stays long enough for those who use it."

"Nothing can be love or hated unless it is first known."

"Just as courage imperils life; fear protects it."

"Men of lofty genius when they are doing the least work are most active."

"[Three classes of people]: Those who see. Those who see when they are shown. Those who do not see."

"Just as iron rusts from disuse, even so does inaction spoil the intellect."

"Our life is made by the death of others."

"Iron rusts from disuse, stagnant water loses its purity and in cold weather becomes frozen; even so does inaction sap the vigors of the mind."

"As every divided kingdom falls, so every mind divided between many studies confounds and saps itself."
