SPECIAL GREETINGS!!!

DON'T QUIT!

When things go wrong as they sometimes will; when the road you're trudging seems all uphill.

When the funds are low and the debts are high, and you want to smile but you have to sigh.

When care is pressing you down a bit, rest if you must but don't quit.

Success is failure turned inside out, the silver line of the clouds of doubt.

And now you never can tell how close you are, it may be near when it seems afar.

So stick in the fight when you're hardest hit, It's when things go wrong that you mustn't quit.

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Phillippians 4:13

FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD!

JOHN 3:16-21

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

17 For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him.

18 He who believes in him is not condemned; he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

19 And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

20 For every one who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.

21 But he who does what is true comes to the light, that it may be clearly seen that his deeds have been wrought in God.

TAKE ME OUT OF THE DARK by GARY VALENCIANO

Just what is it in me?
Sometimes I just don't know
What keeps me in Your love,
Why you never let me go

And though you're in me now,
I fall and hurt you still
My Lord, please show me how
To know just how you feel

You have forgiven me
Too many times it seems
I feel I'm not what you might call

A worthy Christian after all
And though I love You so
Temptation finds its way to me

Refrain:

Teach me to trust in You
With all my heart
To lean not on my own understanding

I just forget
You won't give me what I can't bear

Take me out of the dark, my Lord
I don't wanna be there

You've never left my side
You gave Your hand to me to hold
Oh Jesus, I'm no longer in the cold

And yet, I leave You there
When I feel satisfied

I'd like to thank You every day
Not only when I feel that way

I've never known a Man
Who'd give His life for sinners like me

And yet, because He loves us so
He's promised us eternity
And we can have that promise

And be His if we have faithAnd just believe

Refrain:

Teach us to trust in you
With all my heart
To lean not on my own understanding

We just forget
You won't give us what we can't bear

Take us out of the dark, My Lord'
Cause we don't want to be alone

Take me out of the dark, My Lord
We don't wanna be there, My Lord

Trust in You with all my heart
Lean not on my own understanding

I just forget
You won't give me what I can't bear

Take me out of the dark, My Lord
Cause we don't want to be alone

Take me out of the dark, My Lord
I don't want to be there

QUESTION: MY FRIEND HAS HURT ME DEEPLY. WILL GOD SHOW ME HOW TO FORGIVE?

ANSWERS:

1. This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. 1 John 3:16

2. Get rid of all bitterness, passion, and anger. No more shouting or insults. No more hateful feelings of any sort. Instead, be kind and tender-hearted to one another, and forgive one another, as God has forgiven you in Christ. Ephesians 4:31-32

3. Be gentle and ready to forgive; never hold grudges. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. Colossians 3:13

4. But if your brother wrongs, go and have it out with him at once - just between the two of you. If he will listen to you, you have won him back as your brother. Matthew 18:15

LIFE

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.Helen Keller

Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you represents determinism; the way you play it is free will.Jawaharal Nehru

Life is like the dice that, falling, still show a different face. So life, though it remains the same, is always presenting different aspects.Alexis

The best way to prepare for life is to begin to live.Elbert Hubbard

The whole of life is but a moment of time. It is our duty, therefore to use it, not to misuse it.Plutarch

One way to get the most out of life isto look upon it as an adventure.William Feather

There are no classes in life for beginners: right away you are always asked to deal with what is most difficult.Rainer Maria Rilke

As I grow to understand life less and less,I learn to love it more and more.Jules Renard

HAPPINESS

When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.Helen Keller

Happiness resides not in posessions and not in gold; the feeling of happiness dwells in the soul.Democritus

There is only one person who could ever make you happy, and that person is you.David Burns, Intimate Connections

There is only one way to happiness, and that is to cease worrying things which are beyond the power of our will. Epictetus

SUCCESS

Along with success comes a reputation for wisdom.Euripides

They can because they think they can.Virgil

Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude. Thomas Jefferson

There is only one success--to be able to spend your life in your own way.Christopher Morley

The secret of success is to know something nobody else knows.Aristotle Onassis

The secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes.Earl of Beaconsfield

Success is the good fortune that comes from aspiration, desperation, perspiration and inspiration.Evan Esar

The man who makes a success of an important venture never wails for the crowd. He strikes out for himself. It takes nerve, it takes a great lot of grit; but the man that succeeds has both. Anyone can fail. The public admires the man who has enough confidence in himself to take a chance. These chances are the main things after all. The man who tries to succeed must expect to be criticized. Nothing important was ever done but the greater number consulted previously doubted the possibility. Success is the accomplishment of that which most people think can't be done.C. V. White

I FEEL SO SAD ABOUT ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ARE HURTING IN THE WORLD.

QUESTION:

DOES GOD REALLY CARE ABOUT SUFFERING PEOPLE?

ANSWERS:

1. But you do see; you take notice of trouble and suffering and are always ready to help. The helpless man commits himself to you; you have always helped the needy. Psalm 10:14

2. For he has not despised or disdained the suffering of the afflicted one; he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help. Psalm 22:24

3. You hear, O Lord, the desire of the afflicted; you encourage them, and you listen to their cry, defending the fatherless and oppressed, in order that man, who is of the earth, may terrify no more. Psalm 10:17-18

4. For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him should not be lost, but should have eternal life. God has not sent his Son into the world to pass sentence on it, but to save it-through him. John 3:16-17

5. And yet the Lord is waiting to be merciful to you. He is ready to take pity on you because he always does what is right. Happy are those who put their trust in the Lord. Isaiah 30:18
