is being snuffed out by our things. Open our eyes to the hurting,

June 21, 2010 - Speak
it out: Every season is God's season. But summer has its
special power.
Jesus Christ is refreshing, but flight from him into Christless
leisure makes the soul parched. At first it may feel like freedom
and fun to skimp on prayer, and neglect the Word. But then we
pay: shallowness, powerlessness, vulnerability to sin, preoccupation
with trifles, superficial relationships, and a frightening loss
of interest in worship and the things of the Spirit.... Colossians
3:1-2 - If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things
which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

Let our lives and each experience create a testimony of Your
goodness, mercy, and grace, that we may share it with others.
