The best way to reinforce my progress in fulfilling God's purpose for my life is to keep a spiritual journal. This is not a diary of events but a record of life lessons i don't want to forget!! I am the common WOMEN...I'm quite naughty, I love my family and I play by the rules. And sometimes I get pushed around. That's my lifestyle, and that's what I try to bring to characters.
GREATER LOVE
Read:
John 15:1-13

" Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends. - John 15:13
Bill and his wife were driving through mountains when a near miss with a lorry caused their car to swerve off the road and plunge into the river. After scrambling out of their sinking vehicles, they frantically treaded water in the swift current. A lorry driver, who had seen the accident, ran ahead along the shore and threw a rope to them. Bill swam behind his wife and pushed her to where she could grab the rope and the man pulled her out. Bill, however, was carried downstream and didn't survive. He had given his life for the women he loved.
To give your life so another person can live is the ultimate proof of love. During the night that Jesus was betrayed, He told His disciples of His intention to give His life in exchange for mankind. He told them: " Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends." ( John 15:13). Then He set the ultimate example of self sacrifice by going to the cross.
Have you ever given any thought to the fact that Jesus did that to you - that He died in your place? In so doing, He not only proved His love for you, but He also made it possible for your sins and to have and eternal home in heaven.
John 15:1-13

HE WHO GAVE HIMSELF TO SAVE ME,
NOW WILL KEEP ME TO THE END;
IN HIS CARE SECURELY RESTING
ON HIS PROMISE I DEPEND.

PREPARED FOR THE REAL THING
READ:
Luke 12:35-40

"Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect." - Luke 12:40
Through the years, quite a few people have predicted the return of Jesus at a specific time. Just last year an American radio preacher stirred up the interest of the mainstream media with his prediction that Jesus would return on 21 May 2011.
Anyone who knows Scripture well knew that this advance warning wasn't accurate, because Jesus Himself said His return would be "at an hour you do not expect" ( Luke 12:40). Yet I do have to admit that this prediction captured my attention. Often I get so caught up in the busyness of life that I live as though Jesus' return is some distant reality. I forget that Jesus could come back at any time. The prediction, wrong as it was, reminded me about the importance of being prepared for my Saviour 's return, and it renewed my excitement that it could be any day - even today.
Sometimes when we think of being ready for Jesus' return, we think about what we shouldn't be doing. How becoming more and more like Him so we are pleasing to Him when He comes back for us (1 John 3:2-3). Jesus taught that being ready for His return requires living according to our Master's will now ( Luke 12:47). Will we be prepared when it's time for the real thing?
