Before I send in my next section I would like to apologies to any and all who received any rude, or uncalled for remarks that may have appeared in my name. Though I did not send them all, it is my fault that you received them. Once again, I am truly sorry, please forgive me? – Witness of the Light (Wild Heart)

**These verses are from the New International Version, and the Words of Wisdom are from The New Student Bible**

As always if you have any question please review and I will try to answer them next time I write.

Only Good Things?

June 9, 2002

Verse for today: "And we know that all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28

Words of Wisdom- "This famous verse is often misquoted or stretched to mean more then it says….Paul doesn't promise that ONLY good, or pleasurable, things will come to Christians. What he does say is that even the difficult experiences can be use in God's overall plan for good. And nothing can separate us form the love of God."

Golden Rule.

June 10, 2002

Verse for today: "So in everything do unto others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets." Matthew 7:12

Words of Wisdom- "Other religions (Buddhism, Confucianism, Judaism, Hinduism) had some form of these saying, but most are stated negatively: 'Don't do to others what you wouldn't want them to do to you.' Jesus' version is more open-ended and challenging."

Walking with God.

June 11, 2002

Verse for today: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will keep your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6

Words of Wisdom- "In the original Hebrew, 'in all your ways acknowledge him' is more literally 'in all your ways KNOW him.' This fundamental statement of how God implies more then mere reverence. Nodding in God's direction is not enough: you must know him by living closely with him, relating to him personally in every aspect of your life."
