January 2 Arm of Love You are to help to save others. Never let one day pass when you have not reached out an arm of Love to someone outside your home - a note, a letter, a visit, help in some way. Be full of Joy. Joy saves. Joy cures. Joy in Me. In every ray of sunlight, every smile, every act of kindness, or love, every trifling service - joy. Each day do something to lift another soul out of the sea of sin, or disease or doubt into which man has fallen. I still walk today by the lakeside and call My Disciples to follow Me and to become fishers of men. The helping hand is needed that raises the helpless to courage, to struggle, to faith, to health. Love. laugh. Love and laugher are the beckoners to faith and courage. Trust on, love on, joy on. Refuse to be downcast. Refuse to be checked in your upward climb. Love and laugh. I am with you. I bear your burdens. Cast your burden upon Me and I will sustain thee. And then in very lightheartedness you turn and help another with the burden that is pressing too heavily upon him or her. How many burdens can you lighten this year? How many hearts can you cheer? How many souls can you help? And in giving you gain: "Good measure, pressed down, and running over." I your Lord have said it. Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart; wait, I say, on the Lord.

This is maybe the best resolution-prompting idea I've heard yet! :) |

If it were not for the Internet, I would fail miserably in my secluded life. Praise God for opportunites to reach out. |

Me, too. But I am terrified of people, until I have known them for 2 or 3 years! |

Wow...that goes for me too! I was actually sitting here thinking how I could accomplish this after reading the article when it hit me between the eyes like a load of bricks....we do this here! Praise God for modern technology that allows us to reach out to others across the country and across the world. Praise God that he found a way for those of us who may have more difficulties face to face! |

Before I ever had a computer or hook-up, God had spoken a number of things to me. I would have a small, quiet ministry (I sighed relief) and I would go into all the world (I protested quite loudly). You can see how God has accomplished this. No quieter than a keyboard gets, Grace has never exploded and I have a country tracker that shows me countries that I have never even heard of before come to my sites. |

How awesome is that? How awesome is God! He knows just what we need. If He waited until we were perfect to use us....He'd be waiting forever! |

another good one :goodpost: very inspiring! I agree Betsy it is a great resolution idea. Thank God for the net and for giving us all unique gifts to share.. some people are isolated for various reasons and without online ministries like Grace Today would not be reached with God's love. HUGZ JIL :god: |
