No Regrets

June 2, 2013

If we are living now by the Holy Spirit’s power, let us follow the Holy Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives.
–Galatians 5:25 (TLB)

When Bill Borden, son of the wealthy Bordens, went out to China as a missionary, many of his friends thought he was foolish to “waste his life,” as they put it, trying to convert a few heathens to Christianity. But Bill loved Christ and he loved men! He hadn’t been out there very long before he contracted an oriental disease and died. At his bedside they found a note that he had written while he was dying. It read, “No reserve, no retreat, and no regrets.” Bill had found more happiness in his few years of sacrificial service than most people find in a lifetime.

Prayer for the day

Help me not to count the cost of serving You, Lord Jesus, but let me be completely yielded to Your leading.

Most people would think being a grandparent is nothing, but my wife and I have now learned how important it is when it comes to help out at the last minute. That is God's way of saying why we moved, thank you Lord.

If you follow God's will for your life difficulties are a certainty . However this is a small sacrifice in comparison to what God sacrificed.

Dear God let your will be done help each one of us especially those who call upon your name to be guided by you and do everything for the glory of your kingdom to come. This is my prayer mainly to those who ate called to teach your word

Lord Jesus Christ transforms our mind and body in his likeness.

Gerry says 6.2.2011, 04:45 a.m.

When you choose to follow Christ there will be sacrifice. You may lose a few former friends and and choose not to participate in certain former activities, etc. In reality however these are very small sacrifices, relative to the extraordinary Peace, Love and Joy that will surround you, as you do your best to walk with Christ.

mick says 6.1.2011, 10:46 a.m.

When Christ-like activities are at work, there is nothing too great to achieve!
