The Lord isn't really being slow about his promise, 

as some people think. No, he is being 
patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be 

destroyed, but wants everyone to repent.

An Apple for Today: Letting Go

I have noticed that when I do allow myself (which is rarely)
to Let Go and Let God, there is peace and serenity.
The outcome, in most cases, turns out much better
when I let my Higher Power (God) have control.

I admit I struggle with letting go on an hourly basis.
I'm not proud of this, but I AM working on it!
I'm sick of trying to control my life as well as
everyone else's.  All of my anxiety comes from

One day lily, alone in the group

focusing on other people and not God or me.
I must learn to fully surrender all of my worry,
angst, and problems over to God.  I have to
get to this point or I will live in torment forever,
and this is the last thing I want to do.  Pray
for me that I will reach my goal of Letting Go
and Letting God!

This is What it is All About

This was shared with me through email!
I think it is beautiful and I wanted to share it!

An Apple a Day: Psalm 5:7-8

But as for me, I will come into Your house
in the multitude of Your mercy;
In fear of You I will worship toward Your
holy temple.

Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness
because of my enemies;

Make Your way straight
before my face.

An Apple a Day: Romans 8:18-20

18)For I know that in me (that is,in my flesh)
nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me,
but how to perform what is good I do not find.
19)For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but
the evil I will not to do, that I practice.
20)Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I
who do it but sin that dwells in me. (NIV)

Proverbs 15:1 How do your words sound to others?

Proverbs 15:1 (NLT)

A gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make tempers flare.

If you fall short in this area, you may want to pray the prayer
below, or even better, speak from your heart to God about
this subject.

"My Lord, I fall short in this area many times, as a child of yours I
ask to be forgiven for this sin, cover it with your blood, and
help me never to speak harsh words again. I never want
to hurt anyone by my words or deeds."  Thank you Father for

for your forgiveness.  Amen

And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God 

out of heaven like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.I heard

 a loud shout from the throne, saying, ";Look, God's home is now among

 his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people.

 God himself will be with them.He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and 

there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone 
forever.";
