                       ::Inspirational Story::
                :Blessed are the peace makers:

I was living with a woman a while back, when I 
first moved back to Grand 
Haven, and we were 
having problems with our hot water heater. The 
landlord 
came over and he brought his plumber 
with him and while I was watching 
them work on it
 I was overcome by the urge to confess Jesus's name 
out loud, to just say 
'Praise the Lord!'

It was hard for me, for I was among other men, 
and this feeling of embarrassment 
came over me, 
but also then I got this clear image of a Scripture 
that 
I could not have possibly recalled on my own 
(for my memory really stinks), 
"...whoever denies Me 
before men, him I will also deny before My Father 
who
 is in heaven."

That scared me, and I blurted out, 'Praise the Lord!' 
and the guys looked 
up from their struggling, puzzled, 
and I added, 'It's going to be just 
fine. Jesus is 
going to fix it. It will work.'

Both men nodded and said Amen and I felt like I was 
floating six feet off 
the ground.


When the landlord pulled the old water heater out 
of the corner he had 
to clean underneath it. 
While he was on his knees, sweeping stuff up, he 
said, 
'Hey, Doug, you might want this,' and he handed me an 
old clay plaque 
with a picture of Jesus on it. I was stunned.
I walked into the other room, holding the 
plaque in front of me, feeling 
surreal. On the plaque was the Scripture, 
'Blessed are the Peacemakers; 
for they shall be called the children of 
God.'

I am a man who believes that everything happens for a 
reason, and I knew 
that it was just an old plaque, probably 
dropped behind that ancient water 
heater years ago by the lady who 
lived there before us, but I shuddered 
anyway, just thinking of all the
things that would've had to happen so that that plaque would 
land in my 
hands at that particular moment on that particular day. God was 
sending 
me a message, again, He was telling me, Here I Am. I cannot find 
the words 
to thank Him, but I thank Him anyway, for by this one, small token 
gesture 
I was reminded of a long-forgotten prayer that I 
had made years ago. I 
had asked God what it was He wanted from me, 
what exactly my purpose was. 
I had 
asked many times after that, always thinking my prayers were 
falling 
on deaf ears; O ye of little faith.

In those times, when I was praying and asking God for His 
plan for me, 
I had the unerring sense that I was already 
doing what He wanted. When 
I was younger, I was constantly 
helping friends and family members with 
their problems, always 
the guy with the shoulder to cry or lean on. It 
hit me that I
 was still doing that now, at home, at work, here on the Net.
 All this time and here was the answer, right in my hands, 
"Blessed are 
the Peacemakers..."

I still have the plaque; it hangs on the wall above my 
computer. I look 
up at it every day, and I still shudder. 
To think that God would put this 
small trivial thing in my hands, 
just to remind me, 'Hey, I heard you.'

A new pastor moved into town and went out one 
Saturday to visit his parishioners. 
All went 
well until he came to one house. It was obvious
that someone was home, but no one came to the 
door even after he had knocked 
several times. 
Finally, he took out his card, wrote on the back
Revelation 3:20 and stuck it in the door.

The next day, as he was counting the offering, 
he found his card in the 
collection plate. Below 
his message was a notation "Genesis 3:10."

Revelation 3:20 reads: "Behold, I stand at the door 
and knock. If any man 
hear My voice, and opens the door,
 I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he 
with Me."

Genesis 3:10 reads: "And he said, I heard thy 
voice in the garden, and 
I was afraid, because I was naked."

                              ::Jesus Christ::
  Do you know Jesus Christ as your personal 
  savior?  Do feel like something 

is missing
  in your life?  Do you feel like there is 
  no point to life, you have 

nothing to live
  for?  Are you worried about your future?
  You don't have to read horoscopes, or call
  a psychic hotline to be comforted of your 
  future.  Instead, GOD loves 

you.  And He 
  wants only the best for you.  He knows 
  you inside and 

out, even if you don't know
  Him.  He loves you unconditionally, no strings
  are attached to His love.  He loves you so
  much that He died for you.  He did it so 
  that you and I could spend 

all eternity
  with Him. Do you have Him as your savior?
  He didn't say that we would have all the 
  luxuries of this world, He 

did say that He 
  would provide for us, if only we seek Him.
  Do you have this wonderful gift called 
  Salvation?  If you don't, it's 

easy to get,
  just ask Him you want it.  Commit your life 
  to Him, and He will greatly 

reward you.
      Will you pray?

      "Lord Jesus, I admit I am a sinner. I need forgiveness. 
    I am 


sorry for my sins and I don't want to sin against You 
  anymore. I believe 


You are the Son of God and You died on 
the cross for MY sins. I also believe 


that you rose from the dead 
so that I, too, may have victory over the grave. 


Please forgive me 
now Lord and cleanse me. Come into my heart and give 


me a new 
life. Thank You, Jesus, for shedding your blood for me and for 


hearing 
                  and answering my prayer. Amen" 


  If you've 

just prayed that, you are a Child
  of GOD.  Think about that!  A child of the
  Creator of the Universe.  It's a humbling
  experience.  If you have anything you 
  want to know about your new life 

with Christ,
  or if you're still not sure about all this,
  please do not hesitate to email me,
