From T.D. Jakes' Book His Lady  

Bible Readings 

          And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men. Knowing that of the Lord ye shall recieve the reward of the inheritance: For ye serve the Lord Christ

                                                            Colossians 3:23-24

         For this is the love of God that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grevious. For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcomeththe world- OUR FAITH.

                                                              1 John 5:3-4

         Cast your burden upon the Lord, and HE shall sustain thee: He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved

                                                                                 Psalm 55:22

       There is so much that can overwhelm you. Stress at work (or Home), the kids, your marriage, bills, and even the car needs repair. Dinner needs to be made, errands need to be run and you've got to take care of every other little thing that needs to be done. It's easy to feel overwhelmed. You may even feel like you're at the breaking point. You're doing so much, and yet there's so much more yet to do.

         Turn your attention, even for a second, to the sacrifices that Jesus made to give you life. Once you realize how deeply HE cares for you, you'lll be overwhelmed- this time by the love of Christ for you. With this new focus, you'll be able to prioritize the rest of your life. Start with Jesus and you'll never end up with more than you can handle.

 

                                                                          Your Vow To God

                   I take a deep breath and feel the lift You have given me. This is the day You have made, and I will live it gratefully. Starting here and now I place You at the top of my priorities. I just do my best, knowing You will do for me what I cannot do for myself.  

I hope this will be of some help to someone somwhere. God Bless you Ladies, and Good Day.
