Lessons in Life:

I once told a wise man that I didn’t have time to read the Bible. He responded by telling me that the choice of whether or not I read the Bible was why Jesus died on the cross for my sins. I started reading my Bible again.

Then I once told a very close friend a lie. He responded by telling me the decisions he made were based upon my Christian witness. I have long since told the truth.

A man once told me his deepest secret which I quickly whispered to another. After hearing his secret repeated he told me the reason he told me was because he needed a Christian friend that would listen and pray for him. I no longer take information I am entrusted with so lightly.

I once was involved in gossip and the friend who it was about found out. Now I have learned to guard my tongue and not fall into that "trap."

I once told a friend that I prayed a small prayer for him and his family everyday and he cried. He said it was not the prayer that made him cry --- it was that I had taken the time to think of him. Now I pray for friends and family often.

Once I told a wise old Pastor my Christian dreams and visions. He smiled warmly then asked if I ever planned on putting them into practice. I now choose to spend my days very differently.

Prayer: Father thank you for helping me learn each lesson to grow closer to you. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!
