I came across a good message this morning. At first I was confused as it talked about a funeral will help. As I read on, I realized the importance and what the message was saying. It came from Prime Time With God. It started out with Today's Prayer and it went like this:
Today's Prayer
Lord, let me be a simple fool, not a hardened fool. Though I make many mistakes in life, I want to learn from those mistakes. I want to improve; to do what is right. As the Bible says, to be a "simple fool." Please never let me become a hardened fool who does not listen or learn from mistakes. I pray for your guidance, direction, and wisdom each and every day. Thank you for hearing me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
The importance of the message was to remind us that there needs to be less of us and more of Christ and the Cross. When we are baptized it is like the crucifixion of Christ on the Cross. He died and was risen. We are wiped clean of our sins, "died," and were given a new life, "rose again." We were given a new birth, a new begining.
Therefore with that new begining, we should be concentrating on being more Christ like. We should be thinking less of ourselves, as it's not about us, and concentrating more on how we should be more like Christ.
Have a beautiful blessed day. Make a ripple that keeps going and reaches out. May the Lord richly and abundantly bless you always. Remember to P.U.S.H.

Prime Time with God
Today's Prime Time talks about how we are to go to the cross, but yet we often come down from it. Being of the flesh makes it easy at times to come off the cross. We are easily persuaded by Satan at times.
We need to strengthen ourselves in the Lord and avoid coming off our cross. He is the begining of the message. You can click on the link on the side bar to read the rest.
" ... come down from the cross and save yourself!" (Mark 15:30).
"God calls each of us to the cross in order for all the things that are alive in our flesh to die. Daily we are invited by the enemy of our souls to love ourselves and come away from the cross.
What are the signs that you have come off the cross? When you are overly concerned with appearance, you have come off the cross. When the words of others cause you to react and defend, you have come off the cross. When you strive to have your world in perfect order, you have come off the cross. When you complain about circumstances, you have come off the cross.
Is this good or what? Very powerful message.
Blessings
The way of the cross means letting go and letting God have His way in every matter, every relationship, every outcome."
