HAPPY 4TH OF JULY
Freedom is the basic right of every human being. Some people think of freedom as having no strings, no boundaries, no rules and no laws. This is not the definition of the freedom. According to the word of God, freedom is to do the right thing, free to please God and to be good citizens of the land we live in. People like me who came from another country and made America their home have double responsibility. We love the country that we came from, that is our identity. And we love the country that we are in and by choice made her our home. We are to be faithful to America or wherever we are living.. We should love and respect one another regardless of our religious believes and culture. Most of all we should be law abiding citizens and should be grateful for the freedom that we enjoy. Let us remember our men and women in uniforms and say a prayer for them. Because of their sacrifices we enjoy the freedom.
Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore whoever resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves, for rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Then do good, and you will have praise from the same.
Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy.
Romans 13: 1-3 & 13
Proclaim liberty throughout all the Land to all the inhabitants thereof.
Leviticus 25: 10
(This verse is inscribed on the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia)
Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
2 Corinthians 5: 1
Brethren, you have been called to liberty; only use not liberty to indulge the sinful nature: rather, with love serve one another, for all law is fulfilled in one word, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself”.
Galatians 5: 13-114
Whoever looks into the perfect law of liberty, and persevere in it, being not a hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, this man shall be blessed in what he does.
James 1: 25
You shall know the truth and truth shall make you free.
John 8: 36
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:
Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty.
Blessings, Musarrat Nasir

devotion for June 21, 2010
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY
Children are the gift from God and being a father is a privilege. There are hundreds of men who can not be fathers for one reason or another. And there are hundreds of children in this world who do not know what is a father’s love. Some of them are waiting for their fathers to come and accept them and love them. In the short story of prodigal son, Jesus has given us a picture of a loving and caring father. Father should be compassionate, merciful, forgiving and patient. After wasting his portion of his inheritance the prodigal son came to his senses and said, “I will arise and go to my father, and will apologize for my wrong doings”.
We all know what the son did. This short story explains us the love a father has for his son. It is written that soon father saw his son, he had compassion for him. Father ran to his son and kissed and embraced him. He forgave his child and asked his servants to prepare a feast for his son. He gave him new cloths, sandals, and a ring on his finger. Father did not complaint about any thing but was happy to see his son come home. He accepted the son with all his faults and forgave him. How many fathers are still angry with their children even on father’s Day. Your children are waiting for you to accept them to love them to guide them. Any one can be a father but it takes a special person to be a daddy.
Children’s children are the crown of old men, and the glory of children are their father.
Psalm 17: 6
Honor your father and mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
Exodus 20: 12
A wise son heeds his father’s instructions, but a scoffer does not listen to rebuke.
Proverbs 13: 1
As a father pities his children, so the Lord pities those who fear Him. The mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him, and His righteousness to children’s children.
Psalm 103: 13, 17
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:
A just man walks in his integrity; his children are blessed after him.
Proverbs 20: 7

Fruitfulness
We were chose to serve with
joy and love, because we are privileged to serve Him and to be
His children. Love gives us passion for souls and makes us
God’s ambassadors. Our service should reveal that we are
God’s workers in His vineyard.
Live a life worthy of the
Lord and please Him in every way; bearing fruit in every good
work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with
all power according to His glorious might so that you may have
great endurance and patience.
Colossians 1: 10-11
Sow for your righteousness,
reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unplowed
ground; for it is time to seek the Lord, until He comes and
showers righteousness on you.
Hosea 10: 12
Serve wholeheartedly, as if
you were serving the Lord, not men, because you know that the
Lord will reward everyone for whatever good he does.
Ephesians 6: 7-8
The fruit of the Spirit is
love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness
and self- control. Against such things there is no law.
Galatians 5: 22-23
THOUGHT FOR THE
WEEK:
Jesus said, “Every good tree bears
good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. Therefore by their
fruits you will know them.”
Matthew 7: 17, 20

Memorial Day weekend
Let us remember our brave men and women in the arm forces. Because of their sacrifice we live without fear. We must say thank you to their families for their
Sacrifice. May God bless all of our service men.
Service;
Few things give as much satisfaction as a task done to the best of your ability for the honor of your country and your God. A true servant lives very close to the source of inspiration and spiritual refreshment. The soul of man flourishes on a job well done and the knowledge that he has done his best for God. Then God blesses all his labor.
As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
1 Peter 4: 10
Make it your ambition to lead a quite life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anyone.
1 Thessalonians 4: 11-12
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:
Whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men.
Colossians 3: 23
Blessings,
Musarrat Nasir
