SEEING POTENTIAL IN OTHERS

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE

“...Keep each other's spirits up so that no one falls behind or drops out”
(Ephesians 6:18, The Message)

TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
It’s easy to be someone’s friend when they’ve got it all together, when they’re walking in blessing and prosperity. Anybody can believe in people after they’re successful, after they graduate, after they’re promoted, after they get their big break. But, people need our support the most before they get their breakthrough. They need us to look past their faults and failures and see their potential.

Most times, people just need a little “push” of encouragement to keep them moving forward. We should always put ourselves in the other person’s shoes and see things from their perspective. You may have some good advice that could save them a lot of heartache and pain. Don’t keep it to yourself. Pick up the phone. Help them win. Maybe you excelled in a college course that they’re struggling in. Don’t sit back and think, “Too bad. They’ve got to learn it the hard way.” No, you are the hands and feet of Jesus. When you help others rise higher, you are fulfilling His mission. Today, share your love, support and encouragement. Invest life in others, see their potential, and together, you’ll rise higher into the blessing God has for you!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father God, thank You for giving me influence with the people in my life. Thank You for equipping me to help others rise higher. Reveal to me the potential You have deposited in the people around me and show me ways to help them so we can win at life together. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
— Joel & Victoria Osteen

but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on the wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

SPIRITUAL SUNDAY

Love is patient, love is kind, Love does not insist on its own way. Love bears all things, believes all things, Hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.
-I Corinthians 13:4-8



Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you?
-Corinthians 3:16



Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
By Dalai Lama



Your whole idea about yourself is borrowed - borrowed from those who have no idea of who they are themselves.
By Osho



Healing does not mean going back to the way things were before, but rather allowing what is now to move us closer to God.
By Ram Dass



"The spiritual quest begins, for most people, as a search for meaning."

SPIRITUAL ENLIGHTENMENT

THE SELF IS THE SEEKER

"Scroll"


LIFE is the path, 
LAW is the guide, 
LOVE is the way, 
LIGHT is the goal. 



The GOAL of life is to unite 
the personal self... body and mind...
with the SOUL. 

Purify the body by fasting, bathing, deep breathing, 
sunshine, exercise and eating a natural diet. 

Purify the mind by... 
truthfulness, forgiveness, meditation and prayer.

Unite with the SOUL by living a CHRIST like life; 
and by fulfilling the natural, social and spiritual laws.

Life is eternal 
Here and Now 
In this body 
Or in another 
We only choose 
The SOUL creates 
Our hearts desire 
Forever.
