How true that we...Yes, truly an astounding thought! How true that we would not know true pleasure without Christ. Earthly pleasure, sought without Christ as the center, is so empty and fleeting. That's why the drugs get stronger, the pornography more explict, the gambling more costly...because it doesne't satisfy.

Even on the most terrible of days we should experience joy because of our salvation alone! Recognizing that salvation belongs to Christ helps me to "get out of myself". It isn't about me. It's about Him. As we decrease; He increases and joy results! Praise Him!<BR/><BR/>I popped in from Becky's today. It's my first time to visit your site. If you don't mind I'm going to take a few minutes and read some of your posts so I can get to know you! :) Blessings on you today!Pilot Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04837729230556423683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14059117.post-1123269982986981082005-08-05T14:26:00.000-05:002005-08-05T14:26:00.000-05:00Callie, I love it that you'll be back!
