Great companies now come and go with a disturbing frequency and things seem to change at an ever-increasing rate. Whether this is real or perceived, the shrinking of space and the acceleration of time are issues being felt by many, and they are regular social phenomena. People generally do not like much change

JOHN 17:3 "This is life eternal that they might know Thee." NOW Take your focus off the past Refuse to worry for the future Each and every day you live Awake in search of treasure Seek mercy, love and peace  Until your heart overflows Rest in Jesus and know Eternal life starts now                     J. E. P.             UTMOST   THE LIFE THAT LIVES Tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.  Luke 24:49 The disciples had to tarry until the day of Pentecost not for their own preparation only; they had to wait until the Lord was glorified historically. As soon as He was glorified, what happened? "Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, He hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear."

"For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. NEW LIGHT As sure as the sun will rise, A light to meet our sleepy eyes; God's living hope will start the day, And quicken our minds again to pray. As sure as the Son must return, A Light to defeat this darkened Earth; God's living Truth will council our prayers, To unburden our souls of all their cares. As sure as the new day will happen, First light dawns on weary sinners again; Living faith will encourage our hearts to sing, Each day is made to glorify God with rejoicing! As sure as tomorrow is waiting in the wings, New light conquers the fear nighttime brings; The God of grace and mercy comforts our souls, And brings us closer to His predetermined goals. ________________________________________________ "They are plans for good and not disaster, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11

                                                                      LOVE Today is a new day, Yesterday is gone; Live today in the grace. Of Jesus Christ - God's Son. This is a new day, The past has passed away; Trust the Lord with all your heart, Let go of grief and pain. Have faith, hope, and love, The greatest being love; Live, as long as you are living, Surrender your heart to Jesus. In this new day, Peace and Strength are in the Lord; Let courage be the captain of your heart, As you search His Word and discover Who it is you're living for. A New Beginning by Charles R. Swindoll Read Acts 9:10--19 Regardless of what you have done, no one is beyond hope. That's the great hope of the Christian message. No amount or depth of sin in your past can trump the grace of God. If you question that, remember Saul, the brash Pharisee of Tarsus. When the Lord saved him, He didn't put him on pro-bation. The other disciples did that. No, God gave Saul a new
