"There are some things money can't buy,
for everything else there's Master Card."
I'm sure you've all seen those commercials on TV.
Well, I'm not unlike those agencies promoting their favorite credit card.
However, I'm here to advertise a different card.
You see, my life is a commercial for others to see.
I'm a card carrying representative for the Master's Card.
That's right, the MASTER'S CARD.
Let me tell you about it.
There are no finance charges,
no payments due.
My bill has already been covered...
it's a prepaid deal.
I couldn't afford the price,
so Jesus stepped in and paid it for me.
My Name is written on the card for all to see.
It is accessible twenty-four hours
a day from anywhere in the world.
The MASTER'S CARD has so many benefits
it's hard to list them all.
Let me share some of them with you...
you might want to apply for a personal card yourself.
Just for starters there is UNLIMITED GRACE.
That's right,
there is no preset limit to the amount of grace you receive from the MASTER'S
CARD.
Have you been looking for love in all the wrong places?
Then, look no farther than the MASTER'S CARD.
It offers the greatest rate on love that has ever been offered.
The MASTER'S CARD gives you access to many "members only" benefits.
Want real joy despite the difficulties of life?
Apply for the MASTER'S CARD.
Want a lasting peace? Apply for the MASTER'S CARD.
Looking for something you can always rely on in a jam?
The MASTER'S CARD is perfect for you.
Another great thing about the MASTER'S CARD is
that it never expires.
Once you're a member,
you're a member for life...eternal life, that is.
Membership has its privileges, you know.
[Note: this membership is only revoked should you choose another master.]
How do you receive the MASTER'S CARD.
Dial 1-800-ROMANS-10:9 "if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord
Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart
that God hath raised him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved.
Jesus is standing by right now to take your call.
Don't delay.
This a great offer won't last forever.
Peace,
joy
and hope:
Invaluable.
Faith,
contentment
and assurance:
Inestimable.
Salvation:
Priceless.
Christian,
yes,
there are some things money can buy.
But for those other jewels of life there's the MASTER'S CARD.
Why not be an advertisement for the MASTER'S CARD?
Let your life be a commercial today for Jesus Christ.

Prayer for Guidance by Iyanla Vanzant
Please purge my agenda today. Take out of my life everything and everyone that could possibly take or shift my focus from you. I surrender my mind, every thought, every belief, every intention, every motivation that does not make You a priority in my life.
I surrender my heart, every experience, every memory, every desire that does not serve Your purpose for my life. Remind me that Your plan and Your love, for me are my salvation. Everything else is a figment of my imagination and a function of fear. Today, dear God, I recognize that I don't even know what to pray for, so I will leave the blessing up to you.
Thank You, God for all I have received and all that is yet to come. And So It Is!

Desiderata
written in 1927 by Max Ehrmann (1872-1945)
Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in
silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all
persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the
dull and ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may
become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than
yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your
own career, however humble, it's a real possession in the changing fortunes of
time. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of
trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons
strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself.
Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the
face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass. Take
kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not
distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and
loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a
child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to
be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is
unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive
him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of
life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it
is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
