I have said these things to you, while still living with you. But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I said to you.

Pharaoh's daughter came down to bathe at the river. Her maidens walked along by the riverside. She saw the basket among the reeds, and sent her handmaid to get it. She opened it, and saw the child, and, behold, the baby cried. She had compassion on him, and said, 'This is one of the Hebrews' childre...
Dust In The Wind

These all wait for you, that you may give them their food in due season. You give to them; they gather. You open your hand; they are satisfied with good. You hide your face; they are troubled. You take away their breath; they die and return to the dust. Psalms 104:27 WEB
If you are reading this, then you are still breathing and God has not called His gift back to Him yet. To each of us there is a day appointed when we will give back to God the breath that He breathed into Adam so long ago, the very breath of life (Genesis 2:7). It was passed down to each of us, and when it is gone, we will return to the dust.
I have stood by the bedside of dear loved ones as they took their last breath, and watched the people that I hoped would live forever, die. If you take a walk through a graveyard, it is sobering to see the dates on the tombstones. In a cemetery near my house, years ago a family buried their five children whom they lost to malaria. As soon as they would bury one, they would go home to find that another had passed.
Live today ready to die so that you will have no regrets. You may question whether God loves you, but every breath that you take is another gift from God. It is another chance to make things right. When a murderer takes another breath, it is God's mercy. Will he repent before it is too late, or continue on the path of destruction? There is still time to right the wrongs and live the life that God created you for. 'While I breath, there is hope' is my home state of South Carolina's motto. Our lives are just a brief flash lived in the shadow of eternity, here today, gone tomorrow. They are like dust in the wind.
Prayer: Heavenly Father I thank You for giving me another day here. Help me to see the world through Your eyes and to live out the plans that You have for me to their fullest. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray.

Lord I pray as I stumble through this life and world that I can do your will. Help me to know what your will is this day, to see you, get to see your face and to love those who are in my path. I give you this day. I give you my thoughts, my words my actions. Today I give you all of my emotions and ask you to help me with the hard ones. I give you the moments that my heart beats so fast and I have nauciousnes in my stomach because I may open an email that is hurtful and abusive. I ask you to help me respond with each word I type, each thought that I think and I give it all to you. In Jesus name.

I JUST PRAY HE WILL USE ME TO FURTHER THE GOSPEL HOWEVER IS ACCORDING TO HIS PLAN FOR ME. THANK YOU MY LORD JESUS FOR ANOTHER DAY TO HELP MAKE THINGS RIGHT.
