Prescribed by the Great Physician

In the "New Covenant" made by our Creator God with humanity, as reported in Jeremiah 31:31-34, every human being can know God from within - because the Holy Spirit is revealing our Creator to all who are willing to know the Lord and trust in Him. We can still help each other along the way; so may you be pleased to find here a variety of helps to the life of faith in God through Jesus Christ. G.S.

Prescribed by the Great Physician
****** ********* ******* ************* ********* ******

The next time you feel like GOD can't use you, just remember....
Noah was a drunk
Abraham was too old
Isaac was a daydreamer
Jacob was a liar
Leah was ugly
Joseph was abused
Moses had a stuttering problem
Gideon was afraid
Samson had long hair and was a womanizer
Rahab was a prostitute
Jeremiah and Timothy were too young
David had an affair and was a murderer
Elijah was suicidal
Isaiah preached naked
Jonah ran from
God
Naomi was a widow
Job went bankrupt
Peter denied
Christ (3 times!)
The Disciples fell asleep while praying

Martha worried about everything
Mary Magdalene was promiscuous before meeting Jesus
the Samaritan woman was divorced, more than once....
Zaccheus was too small
Paul was a religious fanatic
Timothy had an ulcer.....

AND
Lazarus was dead
!

Now!  No more excuses!
God can use you to your full potential.
Besides, you aren't the message, you are just the messenger.
And one more thing... Share this with a friend or two...
In the Circle of
God's love, God is waiting to use your
full potential
.

1. God   wants spiritual fruits, not religious nuts.

2. "Dear God :  I have a problem.  It's me.
                    
" My Dear Child:  I have the solution.  It's Me! !"  

3.  Growing old is inevitable ... growing UP is optional.

4.  There is no key to happiness.  The door is always open.

5.  Silence is often misinterpreted but never misquoted.

6.  Do the math... Count your blessings.

7.  Faith is the ability to not panic.

8.  Laugh every day.  It's like internal jogging.

9.  If you worry, you didn't pray.  If you pray, don't worry.

10. As a child of God, prayer is like calling home every day.

11. Blessed are the flexible for they shall not be bent out of shape.

12. The most important things in your house are the people!

13. When we get tangled up in our problems, be still. 

God wants us to be still so He can untangle the knot.


14. A grudge is a heavy thing to carry.

15. He who dies with the most toys is still dead.

Have a great day!!!  The SON is shining and He can certainly use you!
