AFor we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works.@ Ephesians 2:10
I am a big fan of self improvement books. My wife and I have benefited greatly from books as we work to make our marriage grow. I love to look at APopular Mechanics@ magazine and other books on how to fix things. But I have come to realize that when it comes to spiritual things, self improvement doesn’t=t work very well. We relentless try every new type of self improvement, hoping we will finally >earn= God=s love or praise. We fail to remember that it was God who gave us our personality, abilities, talents and spiritual gifts. He molded these parts together to make a unique you. Certainly you have imperfections, but why insult your creator? As the verse says, we are HIS workmanship. God made each of us and God don't make no junk. Poor English, great theology!
Thought for the week: The greatest of faults, I should say, is to be conscious of none.
-- Thomas Carlyle
Funny for the week: "Didn't See That Coming"
The minister's little six-year-old girl had been so naughty during the week that her mother decided to give her the worst kind of punishment. She told her she couldn't go to the Sunday School Picnic on Saturday.
When the day came, her mother felt she had been too harsh and changed her mind. When she told the little girl she could go to the picnic, the child's reaction was one of gloom and unhappiness.
"What's the matter? I thought you'd be glad to go to the picnic." her mother said.
"It's too late!" the little girl said. "I've already prayed for rain."
