WHEN YOU PRAY

Three clergy men were discussing different prayer postures. Each was convinced that his way was the best. One man was convinced that kneeling was the correct posture in prayer. Another was equally convinced that the proper posture was to be seated cross-legged on the floor. Another said that, like Jesus he always prayed “looking heavenward”.



There was an electrician listening to the discussion. He interrupted them to tell that of all the postures he ever used in prayer, he prayed more sincerely one time than any other. That was when he was hanging upside down by one leg form a telephone pole in a thunderstorm, when his ladder slipped.!



 God looks at and listens to the heart when we pray.

 The organ God has given me to pray with is my heart. If the heart is not praying, then the tongue is wasting its time, no matter what the body posture is.

LOOK INTO YOUR HEART

A young businessman began dating a charming young actress. The relationship progressed and developed until it reached the point when the businessman was considering the possibility of marrying the young woman. Being a very cautious businessman, he hired a private detective to check out the young actress, to ensure there weren’t any skeletons in her closet.



The detective knew nothing of the relationship in fact; he was just given the young woman’s name. he did his work very thoroughly and finally submitted the results of his investigation. It went something like this: “This is a very charming, honest, and upright young lady. There seems to be but one blemish on her character. It appears that, of late, she has been keeping company with a young businessman of very doubtful character, and of questionable reputation.”
