But those who fail to find me harm themselves; all who hate me love death.

Proverbs 8

But those who fail to find me harm themselves; all who hate me love death. v36

A life without God is a life conformed by the patterns of this world and by the patterns of the prince of this world - slave to sin and death.  Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

 In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness. For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace. Romans 6:11-14
 
My Prayer: Lord, You are an awesome God, full of love, compassion, and mercy for me...even though I am not deserving.  Thank You Jesus for Your grace!  Help me overcome my stress and worry, impatience, anger, and arrogance.  Please forgive me and help me turn from my sin towards You.  Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, mind and strength.  Help me love others as You do.  Help me grow in my faith.  Give me strength.  Give Lisa strength.  Please heal and cure her of her cancer and the side effects from chemo.  Help me lead and serve Lisa, Zach, and Dustin...and serve You.  Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
