To our Friends, Partners and Supporters,

"We want to be right up front with you.  Our money is not enough to reach you and others across this planet with the motivation and encouragement that is found in God's Word.  We know money is a very sensitive subject because of the too often wrong doings of some, but as you can see TODAY is a publication and ministry that was founded with the most sincere hearts you can find.  We want to use our gifts to reach people just like you with a daily message of HOPE.

  When you stop and think of how your donation and support can help us help others its a no brainier, together we're making a difference.  No matter how much or how little, you too can make a difference in your life, our ministry and in the lives of thousands of others. 

Learn to make your money count for something worth so much more then the way it's wasted today on nonsense.  Help us as we continue to reach out and do our part in changing this messed-up world through TODAY-ON LINE, TODAY-ON TV and TODAY- LIVE.  When you give your support to the work of this faithful ministry you're literally partnering with us to reach thousands across the globe each and every day with God's Message of Encouragement, Motivation and Hope, something each one of us needs. 

We thank you and thank God for you as you encourage us to continue on reaching, teaching and preaching with your generosity and support of our ministry.  God loves you and so do we."

Today's Scripture

Gods Love Is All That Matters

For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.


GALATIANS 1:10

 
Today's Word

People Pleasers   
You will never please God trying to please people.

     If you're like most people you want others to like and accept you, and when they don't frankly it hurts sometimes.  You may go out of your way to please them, trying everything you can to fit in, and still for some reason whatever you do its just never good enough.  You can never say the right thing, wear the right cloths, have the right look, drive the right car or live in the right place.  Your education doesn't match theirs, your kid isn't as smart as theirs, and you don't make as much money as they do.  Sound familiar?  Well, it happens every day of the week and it destroys most peoples self-esteem to the point of becoming crippling.  Trying to please people can go back as far as having to always please your parents, a coach, a friend or a mate just to get their approval so they can control your life, and when you look at theirs generally you will find a mess. 

     If you're a "people pleaser" your life is like an EKG.  One minute it's up and the next it's down.  You're happy, you're sad and sometimes you're in-between.  But when you allow God to have first place in your life, the pleasing game is over, you're set free, liberated to love rather than please.  Learn to love people rather then please them.  Begin to understand that God never put you here to be liked, but He did put your here to love.  You are a reflection of His glory and His grace, you're
"a chip off the old block"  and like Jesus your life has a purpose and a meaning like no other. 

     Remember, Jesus couldn't please people and neither can you.  So, why not focus on pleasing God by living His purpose for your life and others will seek to follow you instead of you following them. 
 
A Prayer For Today

All You Need Is Love

HEAVENLY FATHER, may this reader look to please You in every area of their life and not seek the approval of man.  May they accept Your blessing of strength to overcome the snars of life that bind them away from being all You created them to be.  In Jesus Name. Amen!
