SUDDENLY HE WAS STANDING THERE



Scripture:

The disciples were meeting behind locked
doors because they were afraid of the Jewish
leaders. Suddenly, Jesus was standing
there among them! John 20:19

Reflection:

On that day, when Jesus Christ, the
Savior of the world, was executed on
the cross, it seemed like the world
suddenly stopped. His followers were
depressed, angry, afraid, and without
hope. But God the Father had a plan
that was, even then, being perfectly
carried out. Guess what? God's
plan is in your life today! Jesus
Christ is standing there right beside
you all the way. Take advantage
of the closeness of Christ, and be
an active participant in God's plan.
JESUS IS KNOCKING OPEN THE
DOOR!!!!!!

Prayer:

Oh Lord there are time when I'm
angry and depressed. I know You
are there standing beside me. I
know You're there for me. Give
me the wisdom to accept Your
help and the strength to use it.
In Your Holy Name, Jesus Christ
my Lord AMEN.

LISTEN TO HIS VOICE

LISTEN TO HIS VOICE

Scripture:

John 10:3-4 (New International Version)

3The watchman opens the gate for him,
and the sheep listen to his voice. He
calls his own sheep by name and leads
them out. 4When he has brought out all
his own, he goes on ahead of them, and
his sheep follow him because they know
his voice.

Reflection:

You know what drives me absolutely
crazy? When someone walks up
behind me and covers my eyes, and
says; Guess who? Then I have to
go through the agony of having to
guess. Now if it is someone I haven't
talked to in awhile, I may not
recognize the voice. But I quickly
recognize the voices of those
people I talk to regularly. Usually
all they have to do is say, Guess
who, and I know them instantly.

The same is true when God speaks
to us. If we are in touch with Him
frequently, if we often feel Him
speaking to our hearts, we know
instantly that it is God's voice that
we hear. But if we don't listen for it,
if it's been a long time since we
were quiet enough to hear Him
speaking to us, we may not
recognize what's happening.
The only way we can recognize
God's voice is to hear it often. If
we keep in communication with
our God, we learn the sound of
His voice, the warmth of His love,
the encouragement of His grace.
OPEN YOUR HEART AND LISTEN!

Prayer:

Lord teach me to recognize Your
voice quickly! Whether I am alone,
or in crowds of people. I want to
hear and identify Your voice. Be my
shepherd Lord, and I will be one of
Your sheep, who knows and responds
to what you say. In Jesus Name Amen.

PEACE



PEACE will come when people live
In friendship, side by side,
And cherish understanding
More than hatred, greed and pride.

PEACE will come when people see
All people as the same,
And no one has to live in fear,
In ignorance, or shame.

PEACE will come when people
Who are needy can reach out
For shelter, food, or love,
And no has to do without.

PEACE will come when people
Learn to listen and to care
About the rights and dignity
Of people everywhere.

PEACE will come when love and trust
And kindness know rebirth,
And on that day all people
Will rejoice in peace on earth.
